The Debate about Abortion

I am comment on A Piece of Pecan Pie's Blog 7, it states that Texas should not allow abortions. I do NOT agree with that. I believe that any woman can make their own decision.

There is a reason why abortion has not been abolished. It will go against some US constitution law, which Texas constitution is almost identical too. The Roe vs. Wade case was overturn. Not only that, some individuals have their own religion beliefs. Sometime a mother needs to have an abortion if their life is at risk just by carrying or delivering the child. And of course, it will be suggested by their physician.

I do agree that abortion should not be depended on just in case a woman gets pregnancy because of an irresponsible decision. However, for those that use contraceptives in all measures and got pregnant, or rape victims, I believe that the woman can make any decision they want. Who are we to judge? We all have different preference of religions and different opinions. I think it is no one else business.

Yes, adoption is an alternative decision rather than abortion, but the woman has to go through the 9 months of pregnancy and delivering the baby. It is found that mothers go through depression after giving up their child. Then, when the child grows up and discovers that they were adopted they question why they were given up at birth. There is a lot of psychological problems in the future.

Sometimes parents or the mother can not financial take of this child. Texas has a high percent of families on wealth fare and that includes single mother. Our state tax would increase.

Over all, I disagree and I think it is up to the woman's decision.
