Gift of Life
Throughout history abortion has been one of the main topics of controversy. Groups of people choose to become Prolife or Prochoice, one group choosing the right to life the other the right to choose. I believe life is a gift, and as human beings we must cherish it. I am Prochoice because abortion is a legalized form of murder, it is physically and emotionally harmful to the mother, and there are many alternatives to abortion. “The Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton supreme court decisions legalized abortion in all fifty states, during all nine months of pregnancy for any reason, medical social, or otherwise in the year 1973.”(Beckwith) Before these decisions were made, many believed abortion was a horrible act of murder.
