Week 6: Abortion

As we all know abortion is a very controversial issue that surrounds our society. I found the materials from this week’s lesson persuasive. Many of the arguments made against abortion were solid points supported by evidence. I had previously held a stance that since I am not a woman I should have no say on whether or not abortion should be legal or illegal. Reflecting back on that now and I think that I was very ignorant.

I have been fortunate enough to have never been put in a position where I have had to choose between life or an abortion. I think as young people the most important thing we can choose to do is be safe. It’s important to always be prepared for the consequences of sex. If we are worried about getting pregnant then precautions should be used. I think using the neccessary is much better than having to abort a child.

I found this website to be very relevant to the topic we discussed this week:
