I
agree with Daniel, he makes some very good talking points in his blog. I agree that it is just as much the
responsibility of the man as it is the women to raise a child. Yes, a lot of men are cowards and run from
pregnancy and leave women with a child they can raise themselves, but that is
just a terrible situation for mother and child.
Women should not go getting abortions they should in turn be careful
when they are having sex. If they would
only have sex with men that are reliable and they think would not run if they
make them pregnant. Women are equally
responsible in choosing a partner as in carrying the child. If they do not want a child there are ways
for a women to protect herself from becoming pregnant. Being on birth control, making sure the man
is wearing a condom, or just absence.
Two of these could be against the religion of the women but if the women
is that religious I do not think they would be getting an abortion either.
Rape
is a different thing, but as Daniel said there are very few instances when a
baby is produced from a rape. And even
if the mother of the child was raped she could eventually put the child up for
adoption. That is a very difficult thing
for a mother to do and had major emotional and physical effects on women when
they must leave their new born child.
But that’s why rape is such a terrible thing and should not be taken
lightly. Rape is a horrendous thing and
I personally think any man who is capable of rape is so morally wrong they
should be incarcerated for years, even the thought of rape disgust me.
Abortion is both the man and women’s responsibility. Both parties need to be more careful. If women are raped which as Dan said is a
rarity for a child to be produced the women should try to keep the child but it
is understandable if they do not want to.
And that one exception almost makes it legal to everyone to get an
abortion because women would just claim rape if they did not want the child.
The "well you shouldn't have made the mistake" is a common refrain, but it doesn't seem that helpful for me for those who actually find themselves in that situation--and there always will be people who do. Making abortion illegal will no doubt reduce the incidence of it, but it won't eliminate it, so the question is whether that reduction is worth the cost in the loss of personal freedom. The problem is that many people who consider themselves anti-abortion in the abstract change their minds when the situation becomes concrete.
