Right, I don't really like to talk about political things or any big issues due to my somewhat lack of knowledge on a lot of things. This however makes me angry...
"North Dakota's House of Representatives has passed a bill effectively outlawing abortion. The House voted 51-41 this afternoon to declare that a fertilized egg has all the rights of any person. That means a fetus could not be legally aborted without the procedure being considered murder."
Abortion has always been a subject that everybody seems to have an opinion on. There will always be extreme views on it, whether these are pro choice or pro life. However, at least this choice is actually available for many of us. To have the choice taken away and be made illegal is disgusting.
Many claim that in the UK, abortion is used as a quick fix to an unwanted pregnancy and this maybe so, but what about those who aren't making the decision lightly? Why should their rights be taken away from them? Ok so the article I read dealt with one a debate in the USA, but there have been many debates over here to reduce the time allowed to get an abortion, is it likely that eventually we will follow suit?
In many countries where abortions are illegal, women will seek out back street doctors to perform dangerous terminations where as a result they can be left physically damaged or even dead. How is this right?
We are supposed to live in a free world, where we are allowed to make choices. Why is it even an option for these choices to be taken out of our hands? The article that I read may be talking about something that is just a possibility, but I believe that it is wrong for this bill to even be considered.

Well, a few of my friends have already had abortions, and it tormented them to decide whether they should bring a child into the world or not. I believe, this choice only concerns the parents - not the law and the government. Families who might not be able to support their children won't get a choice in North Dakota. And what about accidental pregnancies? What if a girl is raped and then finds out she's pregnant - she will have to live with a constant reminder of the worst day of her life for as long as she lives. What do they try to prove passing this law? Didn't their parents teach them not to interfer with other peoples' business??
