Abortion

Someone who has a liberal point of view on abortion would say the choice is in the mother's hands; people do what they want. Conservatives would say that there are other options, including adoption, and that facing the consequences of your actions would show your responsibility toward the situation. Also, a conservative would argue that a fetus is considered living and that aborting it would be considered murder. As well as getting into legal trouble, emotional trouble may follow an abortion; mothers who have had the procedure have been statistically proven to have emotional issues post-abortion.
Personally, I believe that it is the parent's choice whether or not they would like to keep the baby. It may be a complete accident, or it just may be bad timing, but the decision to have a baby is life changing, and shouldn't have to be forced either way. I think that legalizing abortion was a smart move for women's health and safety. Sometimes its just not an option to keep the child, in which case an abortion would be an acceptable alternative, and it is good to know there are professionals that provide the services you need.
