The view of many is that there are only two sides to the issue of abortion. One is either a supporter of abortion or they are against it; there is no middle ground. There is a clear and distinct rift between the two groups of people. However, I believe that there can be a middle ground. People should recognize this middle and come together to discuss their thoughts and opinions in a safe and secure manner. There are activists who protest outside of abortion clinics and many clinics have even been vandalized or burned to the ground because of these protestors. These actions seem very drastic in my point of mind. I respect these people’s desire to protect what they believe in and to show the world that they are not going to lay down and let

Owen makes a point in his article to point out that a woman may justify her decision to abort her child based on the notion that during the time of the abortion the baby was, in fact, not considered a living fetus. Some women rationalize the idea by saying that the thing growing inside them is just a bundle of cells and is not a living, breathing child. This notion, however plausible, is one that I do not recognize. In my opinion, once the sperm cell meets the egg there is life. I cannot begin to fathom how some do not see the life growing inside of them. Although I find this assumption incorrect, I also consider that every person has the right to their own opinions. Just like any other medical procedure, abortions are readily available to those who seek them out. Many states are working to prevent this type of service from becoming available to its residents, as discussed in the article “The Public Health Threat of Anti-abortion Legislation”.

When becoming pregnant with a child that you do not want to love and cherish, you must look at all of the options that are available to you. Adoption is one of the options that could influence someone into changing their minds when it comes to abortion. There are many women and couples who are not capable of having children, and adoption is a way of making more than one life better. By choosing to carry the baby to term, a woman can put it up for adoption and save the life of her child as well as bless the life of someone else. Abortion is not the only option, and I believe that when a woman goes in to discuss her options once she discovers that she is pregnant, all of her options should be presented to her. However beneficial adoption is, there are still some woman that believe that abortion is the only option that will work for them. It is imperative that we learn to accept this opinion. Even though abortion is something I would never consider, I respect the woman’s right to choose. I wouldn’t want someone to approach me and tell me what I should believe in and what I should do with my life. Each woman who enters into an abortion clinic has a story, and it is up to her if she wants to share that story. Women who have
