Re: Should Abortion Be Legal?
Says jaybones on February 7, 2008
The question should not be, does a fetus have rights, but do the rights of the fetus overrule the rights of the pregnant woman. My thoughts on this were, and still are, influenced by the death of a high school classmate who died from a backalley abortion. I believe that the decision should be made by the woman with the input of her medical professional, her family, and her spiritual advisor.
Since women are going to get abortions whether they are legal or not, I think that it is incumbent upon the society to make that medical procedure as safe as possible. The people that target doctors and picket outside clinics, have driven away many of the best physicians because those physicians don't need the grief. Those that are left are only those that are either truly devoted to the cause, or those that can't find other medical work. So the protesters are actually making a very safe procedure more dangerous. I think these protesters do this because they think the women that get abortions deserve to be punished and not because they care about these women.
