Single Mothers Are The Most Important Person In A Person's Life

Improved Essays
Mothers are the most important people in a person 's’ life. People literally live inside them before they are born. So one can just imagine how close a person can become to his or her mother. In this day and age where most people come from single mothers, their moms are their entire lives. Although I did not come from a single mother, I always envied the relationships my friends had with their mothers who were single moms.
Although they did not have a father in their lives and they told me that I was lucky to have both who were married and still together, I always felt as if there was some void. When I went away to school and my friends’ parents would come down to visit, they were so happy. They talked to their mothers about everything. Their moms would listen and give great advice, and they enjoyed listening to their daughters talk to them even about troubling things. It made me sad.
Some background on my mother is that she got pregnant at seven teen years old. My mother then gave birth to my oldest sister, Lunden. She was kicked out of the house and left to raise my sister on her own. My sister 's father, who has twenty five kids that he does not keep in contact with, did not even sign her birth certificate, and remained out of her life.

That is what I believe happened to my mother. She told my oldest sisters before that she tried to abort them. And judging from the way she treats me lets me know that she never wanted children. As if having children was something that just happened to her rather than something she planned for. Because of this. I am completely and totally pro-choice. I know what it feels like to be unwanted and I know that the effects of that can be dangerous. Therefore, I know that I do not want any kids right now so I am celibate so that I will not have any

    My stance however is Pro-Life or Anti-Abortion, but I look at circumstances individually, and I believe abortion is permissible in certain situations. I believe that abortions are acceptable if the life of the mother or the baby, is at risk. In this situation, either the mother or the fetus could die. The suggestion of abortion is given by the professional opinion of a doctor, but ultimately the mother has the final decision. The mother choses to either live and let her baby die or die and let her baby live.…

    As a doctor, I see an enormous amount of teen and unwanted pregnancies. I also see mothers decide to have a baby with the intentions to raise and take care of the child, but sadly, not all mothers are mature enough to raise a baby, and eventually let another family member take the child. In todays world, women who are considering an abortion are forced to decide in just 24 weeks, and some politicians want to shorten that time or even abolish abortion fully. On the other, there are some people who are “pro-choice” meaning the believe the mother has the choice to abort the baby up to 24 weeks. I know of one case that is personal to me.…

Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

I felt no one would understand what I was going through because I did not know anyone else who had lost his or her parent.

    There has been a long existing debate of “Pro-Life” versus “Pro-Choice” about whether or not women should be able to abort a child. Many people being Pro-Choice will use the argument that the fetus isn 't a living person, and rather that it is the woman’s body; therefore the woman’s choice. There are other options women have such as adoption: waiting until the baby is born and providing the child a well-suited family to properly care for them. I believe any way you can avoid aborting a child is better than abortion because you give the child a chance for life. An unborn child in the womb contains all of the characteristics for it to be considered living, proving abortion is morally and scientifically wrong.…

    Lastly pro-life people would argue that adoption is a great alternative. A lot of women do not want to go through the nine months of carrying that child. They may not be able to afford those nine months of prenatal care, or doctor visits. So I still stand firm in my belief that women should have the right to…
