Abortion is a widely controversial issue today in our society. It is one that I am very cautious to take a firm position on, not because I do not have an opinion, but because I am aware that there are many positions to take and a lot of different reasoning behind each position. With the information I have learned about abortion, I personally believe that it is a matter that should be between the parents of the pregnancy. Many people say it is up to the mother, but I think the father has a very important say in what goes on as well. This is not to say that the father can veto the mother’s opinion, but it is a discussion that needs to be had between the parents before a decision is made. With that said, I am aware that the father will not always be involved with the decision making process, and even then the woman’s life can potentially change a lot more from a pregnancy than her partner’s. If a woman has educated herself with all of her options and made the decision to abort her pregnancy, I do not think that there is anyone who should be able to tell her that she has to go through with the pregnancy. One can argue that the mother should not be able to decide the fate of another person, but I think that if she is truly prepared to go through with an abortion, it would be a crime to allow that child to come into a world in which it is considered a burden.
