Abortion

The conservative view of abortion is that of the bible, that as soon as a child is conceived it is alive. Therefore, the conservatives think that even during the first few weeks of pregnancy that gettine an abortion is murder. The liberal viewpoint is pro-choice. They believe that it should be ok for a woman to get an abortion as long as it is early enough in the pregnancy. Liberals also seem to be much more open-minded on the topic because they believe that a woman should be able to get an abortion at any time. This is because, what if the woman was raped? or what if she would never be able to take care of the baby? Both situations, liberals believe, should allow women to get an abortion. Conservatives believe that it is always murder except for maybe some circumstances where a rape is involved.

I believe that abortions should be allowed but that they should also have parameters. It should not be ok to use as a form of birth control that bails people out. But it should be allowed under circumstances such as rape. Many times women can also feel pressured in to having sexual relations even though it is not rape and they should be able to also get an abortion. But it should be a very last resort, it shouldnt be allowed more than once or something.
