Even though I am pro-choice I do believe in a woman’s right to have anything done to their body but I do believe it needs to be regulated. I believe we need to regulate abortions but I do not believe that the conversation should be all men. I think the conversation needs to a majority of woman sitting around talking about the situation and how to handle this and how to regulate it where everyone is happy about the outcome on both sides. Woman can not make laws for men because we simply don’t know the experience and perceptions a man has, and it’s the same way for men making laws for woman it just doesn’t make sense.

In the NYT article a woman named Karina Chávez told woman at a rally in Des Moines that they should shout their abortion. I disagree with this because even though we has woman need to take responsibility for our own bodies and stop letting other people have a say about how we look I do or what we do I do not believe that you should be very loud with such a controversial topic. There is a lot of woman who can be offended by this simply because of their views, also it is a very private thing to do so I don’t believe that woman should be very loud about such a sad thing because it can be a very dramatic experience.

In the article I read from the New York Times a woman from the article stated that “They are never threatened, so they never have to think the way we do.” This quote is stating that government officials don’t have to worry what bills and laws are passed because they are “above” it and rules don’t apply to them. I necessarily don’t agree with this just for the main fact that everything that happens in this country is applied to all citizens and they are citizens. All the article states that if abortion was banned or regulated more than it is if you are rich and in government their daughters would be able to get it down. I definitely disagree because if there is a law preventing it they would have to abide by it and there wouldn’t be anywhere to get it done.

Right now across America laws and bills are being passed to either outlaw abortions or to regulate them. I read an article about a woman who lives in Georgia who used to protest when Roe v Wade was going through our court system and she was talking about how she never would have to pull out the pins she first wore when she was protesting in the 1970s. The pin had a hanger on it with a big red slash going down the hanger representing how woman resulted to having an abortion back then before the law was passed.

I am pro-life so I deal with a lot of opinions from a lot of people and thats okay. Not everyone in this world is going to agree one hundred percent on anything. My advice to you would be to just listen what the other person has to say and why they believe what they are so strongly talking about and then sit there without getting loud or fighting with one another and just talk calmly about your differences in opinion and who knows maybe you will look at certain things you once believed in a little differently. My cousins and I always buttheads on this topic they are pro-choice and like I said earlier I am pro-life but does that mean I love them any less? Most definitely not I love to hear what my cousin Jackie has to say about this topic and she has definitely made me think different on a couple of things. One thing in my opinion that has changed is that I don’t think abortions should be banned as a whole I think they need to be regulated such as when there is a heart beat I don’t believe we should proceed with the abortion, but if the woman still does not want the child I believe there needs to be a system set up where they can set their child up into an adoption so from the moment they are born they have a nice loving family and aren’t thrown into the system.

So I believe you guys my readers should get involved or at least interested in this topic because this topic affects everyone. It can effect you or your family or maybe someone close to you like a friend. You should have at least some knowledge of the subject and have you own opinion so if the occasion ever arrived where somebody you knew was struggling with the news of pregnancy and they didn’t know what to do you can give them both sides of the abortion argument whether your pro-life or pro- choice so they don’t feel that you are shoving your point of view onto them and they have more anxiety than before.

I feel that what we as a society can change is the regulations for abortion. I feel that our nation needs to find the right procedures and regulations that meet in the middle and is an easy comprise for both sides of the argument which is those who are pro life and pro choice. I feel that if we change the time in the pregnancy that it is still okay for an abortion a lot of problems can be solved because you are allowed to get an abortion all the up to the third trimester and the “fetus” or child is already almost done forming and growing by then and that is what angers a lot of pro life groups. I also feel that we need to be able to have these hard conversations without one side coming for the other because that clearly isn’t working, we need to have a calm cool and collected conversation and meet in the middle and get this problem solved.

I got introduced to this topic when I learned that my friend had an abortion, before that I didn’t even know what it was or what a woman goes through during that process. I believe that we as woman need to be there for each other because this is a very painful procedure not only physically but mentally too, it can take a very big toll on someone and it’s something you carry around for the rest of their life. After my friend told me what happened I went to my older cousin to talk about it and get some insight and I actually learned that she had gotten an abortion too. That was when I learned that a lot of woman go through this everyday and it can be so close to you and your life and you don’t even realize sometimes.
