1. Can we determine when a child actually become a person?
2. What issues are taken into account when discussing abortion?
3. What would be the cons of taking away abortion?
Abortion is a very controversial subject. I could take my stand on this issue but I rather go broad and look at both sides. Not only do people argue whether it should be legal or not, they argue when a child actually becomes a person. "Some sources believe that the government has taken away the unalienable rights of the child by questioning when the child actually becomes a person and by recognizing the rights of the mother over the rights of the child. Some believe that the government should not have so much authority as to take away protection from the unborn." This is just one way to look at life in regards to government. Some also say a child is a person as conception and some say when the child is born and all in between. It is not realistic to think we will ever come up with a way to prove to all when a child is a person; therefore we cannot determine when a child actually become a human being.
When discussing abortion and whether is should be legalized or not, not only is when a child becomes a person researched but the issues the mother faces is also considered. Issues such as rape, financial state, and health of the mother is put into consideration. What if the mother was raped and doesn't want a child? What if the parents can't support the baby? What is the mothers life is at stake? All of these issues must be taken into account when discussing abortion. What if we just put restrictions and regulations on abortion? Such as if mothers life is at stake it is allowed, or if not enough money the government can offer money, if raped it can be used, etc.
However, if there are restrictions or abortion is considered illegal then there will be consequences. These would include illegal ways of abortion. For example, those 'back alley' stories would increase. Women would do anything and risk their lives to get an abortion illegally. This would also need to be taken into consideration.
So what can we do about abortion? The government has mixed feelings and has no idea what to do about it. A candidates view on abortion affects voters and who they vote for. There are too many pros and cons dealing with abortion that it is nearly impossible to please everyone.
