Before I was assigned this debate topic I was not sure where I stood on abortion issue. I thought that I knew the facts, and was leaning more towards the pro-choice side just as recent as Wednesday of this week. I knew this conflicted with my principles, morals, and religion, but I thought it could be for the “good” that women do this. I thought maybe there were times when it could be okay. But, after I researched this topic, I have changed my mind.
I wanted to attack abortion from a different standpoint other than religion. Religious persons using religious based arguments that are hard to counter easily attack abortion. But as we have seen, religious arguments rarely stand up in courts. Jewish, Methodists, Catholics, Baptists, and Church of Christ all teach against it, but I wanted to reject abortion on the basis of something other than
Another thing that helped me change my mind was the descriptions of the different abortion procedures that I somewhat shared in class. I think every abortion doctor should seek therapy, because there is no way they could be mentally healthy to be able to do those things to an unborn baby. I hope I never morally decay so much that I resort to doing these things to make money; I think I would rather go hungry.
There are alternatives to abortion, and there should be more. I think the government should step in and take over current programs so people are not trying to capitalize on people who are in desperate situations and who will take advice from unqualified people. There should be more counseling centers, legal aid, pre-natal care, post-natal care, financial support, and maybe most importantly advice on how a woman can continue her education.
