Abortion

The articles that we read for class and what we learned in class today really made me think twice about abortion. I’ve always been somewhat neutral on the topic of abortion, because I believe in certain instances that some people should have the right to choose. At the same time I think, how could someone take away a life from one that hasn’t gotten a chance to live it? To me it is a very thin line and I’m not sure exactly which side I’m on. That’s why when I was reading the articles and writing down the notes in class it all made me ask the question, when is an embryo considered a person to which it would be considered wrong or murder? to have an abortion? I’ve never wanted to consider abortion murder because I know there are many women out there having abortions because of certain circumstances like rape or even not being able to properly take care of the baby through the pregnancy or after. I also think that I can’t truly say that I am against it because I’ve never been in the position where I would have to even consider it so I don’t know what the reasoning is for some women that are doing it. But after learning more about it I feel that there is a particular point in the pregnancy where the embryo has developed enough that it would be too late and considered wrong to have an abortion. That being said I’m still not sure exactly when that time is, possibly before the embryo develops into a fetus. I am still staying neutral on the topic because I don’t know the reasoning for some people’s abortions and because I don’t know when it should be considered killing, but today did really make me reconsider the possibility of being pro choice because of the thought of taking away the chance at life from something so innocent.
