In our society today, we are mostly challenged by two questions like: "is it right to do this or that?" And “How should I live in society?” (Bessant, 2009). Today we see that women have the right to decide for themselves whether they want to have an abortion; no matter what the justice is behind it and what others' opinion on abortion is, the final decision on what to do with her pregnancy rests with the mother of her unborn child (Kaczor 3). It's good for women's right to have that power in deciding their own future. More power to them as the stories have that of "a seventeen year old girl and her parents having to go to Mexico to get an abortion because it was still illegal in Arizona" (Colker 51). If it were still illegal, 45% of abortions would be performed, and their right to choose has saved many mothers from suicide (Cannold 32). The question remains: Who is to blame? We have history to blame as women were treated like garbage as they were forced to carry their pregnancies to term, told stories of fake smiles and common responses and then having to go home and cry (Rose 79). Where is it okay to force someone to do something they don't want to do? The decision, no matter how much one may argue, will forever be decided by none other than the mother. It goes without saying that abortion is still wrong; however, the right to force that decision for someone is another. Now times have changed and abortions continue, where can abortion end and pregnancy is something fruitful and blessed by Him who gave us life to continue our name. Religiously speaking, abortion is wrong, but in some cases we find it to be the only option for women if the outcome is death itself.
