Abortion Contraversies

Abortion has been around for many years but during the past few years, the Pandora box has opened. The pro-life activist groups have fought outside of abortion clinics to stop abortion but it has not worked as it seems. It has created the confusing controversy of what side of the pendulum you are on: Pro-life or Anti-life. At the end, we all fall under the both sides. If we believe that pro life is the way to go then we end up thinking about the pro choice aspect at one point of our lives. Yes, we can be pro-life but we fall into the pro-choice of determining the end a pregnancy if the case is rape or incest, it changes our mindset on our beliefs. If the women is raped or incest has occurred, the doctors usually recommend to end the pregnancy but it is also the moral choice of the women to do it so it set the women in the middle of the balance: should I do it or should I just live with the choice of keeping me child?. Therefore, the doctors give them a few days to think about it. The morals society sets upon women and pregnancy are everywhere. For example, when you’re driving the freeway, there’s a sign for pro life verses the abortion choice. This type of messages the media portrays out public reinforces the norms we must follow if we are women. It makes the women who have had abortions feel guilty, undeserving of another child, and makes them feel as evil human being who has murdered. On this point, I view abortion as a choice of what we believe in morally and in what situation we are in terms of pregnancy. As women we oppress ourselves by judging other women in their choice of why they aborted their child. Since the Pandora box has opened up publically, abortion has created controversial messages of how the health system is not effective in the choice of birth control access and pregnancy itself is faced.
