Should abortion be restricted?

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics spoken about throughout the U.S. In my personal opinion, a woman should not be told what she can and cannot do with the child she is carrying. It is irresponsible to pertain in sexual intercourse if you are not taking precaution but who says it is responsible to bring a child into this world that will possibly not be properly taken care of or raised in the right matter? Having a child is one of the most beautiful things a woman can do in her life, but to give birth to a child who is not planned for or wanted at the moment is not a life that anyone deserves.

Many people may have the question, when is a fetus considered alive? The answer to this question mainly depends and varies on a persons views and their beliefs. In my personal opinion, a fetus is not considered alive until conception and/or until it has legal rights. When a baby is not yet born, it has no legal rights to protect itself, but its mother has all the right to do as she pleases.

Its very easy for people to judge a women who has had an abortion, but I'm sure if they were put in the circumstances or situation she is in, it wouldn't be such an easy decision either. Some may even say that the unborn child supersedes any right of a woman to “control her own body” when it comes to the decision to terminate. This statement, in my personal opinion, is completely absurd. Margaret Sanger once said, "No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her own body.” People who are anti-choice do not realize or take into consideration that a child entirely changes the life of a women and all the decisions she makes from the day the child is born either benefits or affects their life negatively. If a women chooses to terminate, it is because she is sure that the life she is currently living will not be a secure and proper life for that child to be raised in.

As an American, I believe having a choice is something all Americans cherish and agree with. Having the choice to do what you please(within the law) in your life and to do what you feel is best in your situation is why many people are proud to be Americans. Pro-choice is something that is different for every person depending on the situation they are put in. If a woman has an unplanned pregnancy, she should make the choice for herself or with her partner on if they would like to pursue the pregnancy or terminate; whether it is because of their beliefs or their situation, it should be a choice they make themselves. The choice of bringing a child into this world should be made by the individuals in the situation, not by the government.
