I think it's so interesting to watch debates over this topic. Something I think many people overlook is that when there is an argument over abortion, it is never over the same issue. Even the terms "Pro-Life" (which insinuates those for abortion are "Pro-Death") and "Pro-Choice" (which insinuates those against abortion are "Anti-Choice") are on opposite ends of the spectrum. |
Granted, a person's religious stance plays a huge part in this, but you still cannot argue religion against rights. They are two seperate entities. In reality, there are two issues in abortion. Issue 1) When is the fetus "alive"? For the religious believers, this is the question of when the body receives the soul. If it is alive while in the womb, is it then a seperate being with seperate rights? Is killing an unborn fetus killing a person? Issue 2) Is it a constitutional right for a woman to choose what happens to her own body? Now as you can see, you cannot argue those two points against each other because they simply don't make sense. It's like arguing that Bush got elected because he's from Texas. Poor example perhaps, but you see my point. It's flawed logic. Instead, we need to be addressing each issue seperately. And really, the only issue to be discussed is the last one. Religious views, sadly enough, cannot be put into law because our country has determined "seperation of church and state." In my opinion, as a Christian, I do not agree with abortion. I will never have one unless it is absolutely necessary for my survival. Or maybe in cases of rape or something. BUT I firmly believe it should be my choice to decide what happens to my body. I should be able to pick if I want to have one or not, just like I can choose to voice my opinion or not, vote or not, own a gun or not. They're all my rights as an American citizen, and regardless if you or I agree with them, someone in this country values it and that's what's important. Our rights must always be protected.
