Pro-Choice VS Anti-Abortion

I don't necessarily believe that abortion is the right choice but I definitely believe that every woman has the right to decide for herself if she wants to have a child.

My granddaughter has posted on Facebook that an anti-abortion rally is being held at her university and she is going to be marching on the pro-choice side. How can anyone in this day and age not believe that a woman should have the right to choose?

I'm sure that the anti abortion group will be screaming obscenities and threats but I'm hoping the pro choice people will show their support for their cause with a dignified demonstration. Anti-abortionists have honest and strong feelings about their quest but they fail to understand that not everyone shares those beliefs and they have no right to demand that everyone should.

My personal beliefs go beyond abortion and I also believe that a person has the right to choose when they die. Our right to do what we wish with our own body is of utmost importance and no-one else should have sovereignty over us.

Abortion is ugly. There is no doubt that it isn't something that we should take lightly. Abortion can take a serious toll on a woman's body, sometimes making her infertile for the time when she is ready and willing to have a child. I don't believe that any pro-choice people take it lightly. They are only stating their personal convictions that a woman's body is her own and she has the right to make her choice of whether or not she will have a baby.

Until science has progressed to the point where they can provide an artificial womb for an unwanted fetus, we will have to accept that some women will choose to terminate their pregnancy.
