After reading Brittany’s blog post talking about ethics and medicine, I would partially agree with her view on abortion. When given the choice of pro-life vs. pro-choice, Brittany chose the side of pro-choice. Her man agreement is that if a person was raped then they should have the choice whether to abort or keep the unborn child. I would have to agree 100% with her on that topic of pro-choice.
In the blog, there is a point brought up about favoring both sides of abortion. Many people believe that it is not possible to favor both sides. I would have to say that I am one of those people who do agree with both sides of pro-life or pro-choice. I believe that circumstances will dictate as to whether abortion should be allowed or not. In Brittany’s example above, I would agree that a raped victim should not be responsible for raising a child, because she was the victim of a crime and she had no say in the matter. However, if a couple accidently gets pregnant, with or without the use of protection, they both consented to sexual intercourse and they should be held accountable for their actions.
As stated in my previous blog post, people don’t learn from their errors if they just “abort” the problem and go on living with their lives. They will not learn anything and will most likely accidently get pregnant again. The process will keep repeating, because they think that creating, and then taking away life, is no big deal. I am not saying that having a child should be a punishment. I am trying to convey an important message: if you make the choice to have sexual intercourse, and get by chance get pregnant, then it is time to learn from this moment and grow up to become competent, mature, adults. It’s not the end of the world, but it does mean that you need to mature faster than your peers.
