My thoughts on abortion

Abortion is a complex subject that I honestly do not know what side I stand on. There are too many different situations for me to make a strict judgment. I was adopted because my birthmother had just begun college and was not ready for a child. I am happy that she decided to give me up rather than abort me, I have to be otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here saying this. But there are people who unlike my birthmother make this mistake and do not deal with it rationally. As much as I want to give a child the ability to live their life, a life of abuse, bad parenting, and endless disadvantages is not a life I would want to live. When speaking of abortion we have to take into consideration whether losing a life or making one almost not worth living is better. The saying between a rock and a hard place definitely comes to mind there. I feel very strongly as to abortion being used as a form of birth control. I do not think it is right for a woman to have multiple abortions because she is too lazy, too carless, or too stubborn to protect herself. I think woman like them give us a bad name and is part of the reason that this topic has become such a crisis. We need to protect ourselves. Another critical point of abortion is that what about women who were raped? Should we make them relive the most awful point of their existence for nine months? I think that is completely cruel. If every case for an abortion were the same I think it would be an easier decision for me to say "No more abortions, abortions are bad!" or "Yeah women need the right to choose what to do with their bodies" but not every case is clear cut so I don't think there is any way to control this debate or find an end to it. Like I told you I am happy I was not aborted like my birthfather wanted me to be, I love my family and they love me too. Having a parent who will take care of you and appreciates you I believe is far more important than putting a child into a horrible situation which in the long run can possibly do a great amount psychological and maybe physical damage to them. So when it comes to abortion, I just don't know.
