2nd assignment: Views on Abortion

1. What is your stance on abortion? Give three reasons why (this is your own thoughts). Explain clearly and use a lot of detail. - 5 points

I think my stance on abortion would be pro-choice. The reason I chose pro-choice is because its a women's decision. Most people aren't ready for the future and aren't prepared , so they decide to have an abortoin. In fact its a women's body and who are we to judge on what they should do with their body. Abortion can prevent a person form loosing their jobs or education, so abortion would be best off.

2. Copy/paste evidence that supports that supports your views. Make sure you use quotation marks (" ") because these are NOT your words. - 3 points

"They believe that in the end, it is up to the pregnant woman herself to determine whether to terminate or to continue with her pregnancy.
But if a pregnant woman is to have a real choice about the future of her pregnancy (i.e. not to be forced into an abortion because of poverty, or social pressure etc.), certain legal, economic and social measures must to be available to support the woman, whatever decision she takes regarding the pregnancy."

3. Explain the quote you chose for number 2 in your own words. You can explain it in the following ways: relate it to something that happened in your life or someone else's, explain why you agree with the statement, explain it to the reader with more detail in case the reader might not understand the quote, or give the reader a hypothetical situation in which the quote plays out. (Whichever why you decide to explain your quote, you should have at least 3 sentences to be thorough) - 6 points

Oh boy, I chose that quote from number two because I really think that a women should have the right to have a decision. If a women is to choose not to have an abortion then that would be her decision. If she chooses to have an abortion because she wont be able to maintain that living creature. I think she should have the right and it should be legal.

"A pregnancy to a woman is perhaps one of the most determinative aspects of her life. It disrupts her body. It disrupts her education. It disrupts her employment. And it often disrupts her entire family life."

This quote above says that abortion recently disrupts a women's life. I think that women should have a chance or oppurtinity to do what best for them. Abortion can be a brutal thing to occur but in some cases a women might need an abortion because she might risk her job, education, family life etc.
