Abortions are the #1 controversial topic to exist! What is an abortion? An abortion by definition is “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy”, in other words, ending an infant's life in the tummy before they are born. According to guttmacher.com, abortion pills accounted for over 54% of all abortions in the United States. This pill is now being taken to court. Should this pill stay legal for all states, or shall the banning of this pill begin now?
Why do people execute abortions? There are many reasons that women state why they want or have an abortion. Such as, “too early”, “not ready”, “don’t want a baby”, “can’t care for one”, ect.
How does the pill work? Well actually, this is a two-step process. First, the woman will take a pill called Mifepristone. This pill will initially stop the pregnancy from progressing. This may cause a woman to feel nauseous or start bleeding from their uterus. The second pill is called Misopristol. Up to 48 hours after taking Mifepristone, the female will take Misoprostol. This pill will “in simple terms” kill the sex cells that are creating the baby. This pill will cause extreme cramps for the female as well as a lot of blood rushing out from the uterus. This process is very similar to a miscarriage when taking these pills. Still confused? Think of it as a forced miscarriage.
Why is the potential banning of the abortion pill such a big deal? Mifepristone (the abortion pill) is responsible for over half of all abortions. Because of how big this pill is to abortions, this is huge for both Democrats and Republicans. Democrats are usually for “pro-choice”, whereas Republicans are usually for “pro-life”. What does that mean? If you are pro-choice, that means that you believe that women should be able to make their own decisions on what they do with their body and want abortions to be legal. If you are pro-life, you believe that abortions should be illegal and vote for the banning of this medicine.
Depending on your political POV, there are many pros and cons to this pill and topic. In my personal religious view, I do not believe in abortions. I think that they should be illegal because I don’t think it is right to end a life, even if it hasn’t even begun. Also meaning, that I think that this pill should be banned by the court. This is a really tough topic to talk about, with many mixed opinions.
*I will try to keep posted on updates with this court case
For right now, the pill will remain legal until further notice.

Do you think that the abortion pill should be legal or illegal? Why?
Would it be easier for the female to just have the baby and put it up for adoption?
Do you think that the government will end up banning this pill?

I think that the abortion pill should be illegal. I say this because there are many people who cannot get pregnant and would adopt the child. When having sex you know the risks are getting pregnant so if you do not want to get pregnant then don't have sex. I hope the government bans the pill.
I agree I hope that the government bans the pill too. I think that if you don't want a baby, you shouldn't be doing those types of things.
I think that the pill should be legal because women should definetly have the right to choose what happens with their bodies. As for adoption, no it wouldn't be easier. It's a long process and most of the time, kids don't get adopted and are stuck in foster care. Foster care can be truly traumatizing. Children in foster care are 4 times as likely to commit suicide. By banning the pill, they'd be opening the door to thousands more adolescent deaths. The way that our country is spiraling I think they will put even more restrictions on abortions and abortion pills where there are already too many. The government will either successfully ban the pill, which would cause unsafe and harmful abortions everywhere. Or they will put restrictions on it like you can only get it before 6-8 weeks, or you could be fined or arrested. In short, the pill should not be banned.
But that's the problem, abortion shouldn't be about the woman's body, it is about the soul that is being created inside of them. And yes, foster care can be traumitizing and some children may die, but not all, so that's not an excuse to just kill a baby just based upon a prediction on what you think their life will be like.
So, are you saying that the woman doesn't matter in this equation? What if it's a high risk pregnancy or sexual assault? Are you against abortions in those cases too?
Well the woman does matter because they are holding the baby but if they don't want the baby that's not a good excuse to just kill the baby and not have a life if you would've chosen the easier way and put it in the adoption center then the baby would still be able to live and live its life and just move on I think that if you kill a baby from the pill you should get charged because technically you are killing the baby no body else.
I think that multiple people would get charged. The mother, the doctor that killed it, and anyone else that helped with the abortion. Such as the chofer.
I believe what my religion believes in, which means that I believe that no matter the situation, abortions are wrong. But, I respect others opinions on this subject.
I think the abortion pill should be eligal because you are taking a childs life. I think if the parents were having kids they shouldnt have a choice for abortion but I do belive it should be easer for people to put their kid up for adoption. I think the government wont ban the pill.
I agree with you, as much as I think abortion is wrong, I don't think that they will ban the pill.
