What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?
I changed my mind about abortion. When I was much younger, I used to think that abortions were wrong and no one should kill a baby. As I grew older, I decided it is not up to me, it is up to the mother and maybe her spouse and a doctor. Whatever a woman does with her body is up to her ultimately.
Who am I to get mad because a woman wants an abortion. There are many reasons why women get abortions, such as finances. Maybe they cannot afford a child Or it may not be the right time to have one. Or they are not maternal and don’t want the responsibility of a child. Or maybe they do not want to be a single parent because that is hard. Maybe they want to focus on their career or college; whatever the reason I support the woman. She has her reasons for not having the child. So I am prochoice whatever the mom wants is good for me.
Now I wish in America they saw it the way I see it because they revoked Roe v. Wade means in some states like Ohio,women only have six weeks to have an abortion. Or they have to have the baby. Or they have to go to Illinois to have the abortion. In Indiana, it is worse, there is a complete ban on abortions which is terrible unless it is a danger to the women’s health or rape or incest. I guess that is good, but again if the women do not want the baby they must go to Illinois for an abortion.
It is totally political. The Republicans don’t want to pay for abortions so they take away Roe v Wade. Now Democrats, are prochoice like me. States that are democrat you can get abortions in such as Illinois or California. States that are Republican you cannot or for a limited time such as Indiana or Ohio and Arizona. I really wish the Supreme Court justices, especially the men could get pregnant and see for themselves what a pain in the butt it is to be pregnant. Then they would see what they have done.
I am glad to be prochoice because I don’t have time to be holding up signs at plan parenthood saying I am against abortion. It is such crap. It is a woman’s body she should be able to do what she wants with the baby. The government is not going to raise the child, unless she abused the child, but even then foster parents or adopted parents raise the child. It is her life. I think the government needs to enact Roe v. Wade again, so things can go back to the way they used to be.
In conclusion, I discussed the abortion law in America after they revoked Roe v. Wade, which is a way for the Republicans not to pay for abortions. I discussed that I am prochoice and that I support the woman and whatever she does with her body is up to her. I wish the Supreme Court was also prochoice but they are pro-life. So the woman has to have the baby even if she doesn’t want the baby, unless she goes to another state, such as Illinois. That is crap. I also discussed, they should re-enact Roe v Wade again.
