Abortion. An extremely controversial issue in our society today. Should women have the right to choose whether or not they want to, well, get rid of their child? Should they be able to kill another human being? Should they be able to get the abortion and save their own life due to birthing complications? There are pro's and con's to both sides of the spectrum, let's evaluate them.

Pros of Abortion (According to web articles): 

If a woman has complications with childbirth, it should be a viable option for them to get the abortion.

An Abortion could be a tool to undo mistakes for an underaged mother, and therefore keep her life in check.

Not always does a mother want her child, therefore without the option for abortion, she'd be raising an unwanted child, or forcing it to go through the trials of adoption, which could be hard on the child, making it feel unloved, unwanted.

In the case of rape, their child would be born of the rapist's loins, and would be a constant reminder of the brutality the woman faced.

Cons of Abortion (According to web articles):

It is considered a brutality against the child, by not giving it a chance to live.

It promote infidelity, where women can have many sexual relationships which would end up in abortions.

It decreases the chances of childbirth later on in life.

It promotes irresponsible behavior among people, especially in teenagers who believe that with the option of abortion, they can practice unsafe activities and not have to raise the child they conceived.

Abortions can lead to medical complications such as infection and miscarriages.

Later on in life, the mother may look back and regret making the decision to get an abortion.

Thatcher's Thoughts:

Well, my thoughts on the subject of Abortion vary between both sides of the debate. First off, i'd like to state that I am pro-choice. Although, to a certain degree. I believe in the right to an abortion, only if it is compromising the life of the mother, or in the case of a teenage pregnancy. I do not condone the explicit and immoral acts of which result in an unwanted teenage pregnancy whatsoever. Now, in the case of Pro-Life, I believe that anyone mature enough to live on their own should be mature enough to raise a child or give it up for adoption. Now, I'd suggest adoption only in the case of financial reasons and/or the child is unloved/unwanted and would be abused.

So, that is what Thatcher Thinks on the subject of Abortion.
