The thought of someone else deciding for me if i can or cannot have a child is really quite disturbing.  In my opinion, i believe that everyone has the right to do to their bodies however they please.  I beleive that a women’s body is a very precious symbol in the world, and it shouldn’t be treated as an object that can be told what to do by someone who doesnt even own it.  I know that when i get ready to have children, that i don’t want anyone, the government, a doctor, anyone, telling me what i can do with my own body.  However, i do believe that if you are old enough to have sex, then you are old enough to have a baby.  I dont it’s right to kill a baby just because you dont want it.  That is when i find abortion wrong, but if you’re having sex and something happens that isn’t suppose to, and you know that you’re not ready to have a baby, then i find abortion okay.  It is also okay, in my opinion, when a girl is raped, and those who say that abortion isn’t right ever, please put yourself in that situation.  Would you honestly say that you would have the baby of the man who brutally raped you and tortured you?  I dont think so.  My beliefs on this topic come from no other sources.  This is what i believe and i didnt get my ideas from anyone else, or anything else.  Women should have the right to decide if they want to have a child or not, and taking it away would just make the world a worse place, b/c women are going to get an abortion whether the government says to or not.  That’s just the way it goes.  It’s like smoking marijuana, everyone knows it’s illegal, but many people still choose to do it…i dont know why, but they do.  I don’t think it is something that as a nation we can stop.  I think it’s going to continue on forever, and the only person that can stop it from happening is the person doing it.
