Everybody believes something in today’s world, and it’s guaranteed you can find someone who disagrees with you. I chose to discuss a currently controversial topic, if abortions are ok and if women should have the right to get them. Personally I belief that women should have every right to get one, for three main reasons. First off, they are people too and should have control and a choice with what they do with their own bodies. Also victims of rape and incest should not be forced to carry out an emotionally and physically unhealthy pregnancy. Lastly, the ages that women typically get pregnant and want abortions, do not have bodies fully developed for childbirth, resulting in a dangerous and potentially deadly childbirth.

My peer’s first main reasoning behind this was that she believed the bible says it is wrong, due to Exoduses 22:25. Which when I read it, is about how two men get in a fight and accidentally hit a pregnant woman, leading her to miscarry. The man who was behind the blow, was punished for murder, this verse leads the main belief that it is not our place as people to decide who lives and who dies, as well as the life of an unborn child has the rights of a full grown man. Another religious supporting reason for her was that God consciously created us and intended for us to be born and have a purpose, which can be found in Jeremiah 1:5. Despite me not being the most religious person anymore I find some points in this to be a nice thought. Thinking and potentially believing that a God made each of us with a set plan is a beautiful thought indeed, but what about babies who were fated to die not long after being born due to natural causes? What purpose and if anything, a life, did they lead? Another main flaw I find in this main reasoning of hers, was in the story of Exoduses 22:25, it was clear that the woman had wanted the child. Which makes me wonder if the Bible has any direct verses that could pertain to a woman who did not actually want her child if she want it, which is a more modern possibility, but then again the teachings and laws of the bible are from from useful to the modern and everyday life. Her second main reason was that it is wrong to kill a baby, which it becomes when it gets a heartbeat at 8 weeks. Her main supporting reason for that was, a baby can live on it’s own in the third trimester(8 weeks is the beginning of that), for example premature birth. Her thinking behind this was instead of getting an abortion and killing the baby, the mother could easily get a C-Section and put the baby in NICU, and into an incubator. I personally very much believe that something is considered to have a life once it gets
