Stand on Abortion
Abortion has become a headline topic over different sources of media. There is the pro-choice side where the belief is that the mother has the choice to abort her pregnancy. Then there is the other side, pro-life, meaning the belief is that if the mother is pregnant she cannot terminate the pregnancy. Lastly, there is an undecided person who has not picked a side. I am pro-choice, but I do have “standards” that I have towards my pro-choice belief. I believe that if there is a factor that contributes to the mother’s or child’s health, then yes an abortion should be allowed.

I can be a supportive shoulder for either side of the debate, but it will not change the way I view
