Abortion: The "Selfish" Choice


            The topic of abortion is a very controversial one these days. Both sides of which present very logical arguments to support their side of the issue. It really is a matter of morals and the exact situation which is being discussed. Abortion itself is a very gruesome and frightening procedure. Though some say that at times it is necessary (I believe this is only true for situations which are a matter of life and death). The pro-choice side often presents the claim that, "A woman should have the right to make her own choice. It's her body!".
             The sad thing though is that a lot of young girls these days take advantage of that and look to abortion as a method of "birth control" (if you can even call it that). People who are pro-choice also bring up scenarios of women who are too young or too poor to raise a child, or who are victims of rape and did not choose at all to become pregnant. There are also those who suffer from certain medical disorders and cannot deliver a child without endangering the child and/or themselves.
             It is because of these certain situations that the United States cannot make abortion entirely illegal (though according to my mother Romania at one point did, but agreed to perform this procedure when completely necessary). Those who are pro-life have done a really wonderful job with providing information online, in pamphlets, books, and most everywhere else possible. While researching I came across many accounts of women who have had abortions and now realize what a horrible mistake it indeed was. One after another describe the horrors of knowing that a child, their child, was being savagely ripped apart inside of their womb, then vacuumed out and left on the edge of a sink to die. They give in detail accounts of the suffering they went through afterwards and plead to God to forgive them for the mistake they made. They each go over the alternatives they were given at the time and wonder why they didn't choose to instead give up their child for adoption or why they weren't serious enough about birth control.
