Abortion Pill Legalization

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?

              • So in your opinion and correct me if I'm wrong you think that an unborn baby who has no friends and no life outside growing in a girl's stomach is more important to save than a girl who has friends has a life? 

                • I believe so yes, because the girl/woman created that life. And correct me if I'm wrong, but most mothers would risk their life for their children. Also, the female has already lived some of their life, the baby has not had that opportunity yet. 

                  • The baby who has no life whatsoever in my opinion is not more important than someone who lived what if your wife got raped and died because she had to keep her baby you would prefer her to die for a unborn thing instead of having the love of your life live?

                    • I agree, I think that women can be selfish at the fact that the baby's life matters.

                    • oh so like you are pretty much selfish too that's what you are pretty much saying because if you choose yourself over the child then you're pretty much selfish too. Like you don't even care about the damn kid and not giving birth to it and not putting it in an adoption center and you are just killing it with no care in the world without giving it a chance or anything that's what's selfish in this world.

                    • Well I don't know if you know this, but the abortion process is actually very painfull too. Also, I know that it would be hard to raise that baby after being assulted, but once again, 2 wrongs don't make a right. Yes, the rape was wrong, but the second wrong would be killing. And those 2 wrongs would not make abortion right.

                    • what solutions force a kid to raise another kid? Forcing a girl who was raped to raise the kid of her rapist? would you still think the same way if you were a girl and you were raped and men keep telling you, you have to keep the baby imagine how that feels for a man who can't get pregnant to tell you you have to keep that baby walk around with it for 9 months are give birth it which is extremely painful? men that think they have the right to tell women they have to keep their babies are insane.

                    • In my religion, I believe that there is a soul during that period of time. Though we do have an overpopulation, they are still people. We can't just go around killing people because we have too many. There are more and better solutions.

                    • a baby does not have a heartbeat until around 4 to 5 weeks which means that that clump of cells does not have a soul and is a burden to some women throwing away that "soul" is worth it if it means you can survive and the world is already overpopulated there are plenty of kids who need adopting just putting more kids up for adoption does nothing there are more kids than parents who want to adopt. 

                    • Though I am a man, I don't think that many women would say that. At least I can use my mom as an example, I know that she would risk her life for me, and I think that most moms feel the same way. Though it may just look like a clump of cells, there is a soul in there. Waiting to become something greater. It is incredible that us humans can reproduce, and the fact that we just throw that away is just shocking to me.
