abortion
...lf was naked. I've never thought about my side on it, but that's what the internet is for. That afternoon when I got home I researched as much as I could to figure out where I stood on this position. I even talked to my mom and stepdad about how they felt. Me and Samantha even had our own discussion about it. So basically, I knew where I stood and I was firmly stuck there. Kristy was voted best dressed our senior year which shows she took good care of her looks. You could find her at the YMCA at least four times a week, and never did she look like she had just got doing a workout except for the fact her body was as toned as a 5'3 , 115 pounds, 17year olds could be. She put her time into making it look that way so why wouldn’t she be able to choose what else she wanted to do with her body. It’s not something I’m proud of but, there were not many virgins in my grade, or even in our school, which didn’t make it okay to have sex, but it did make it normal. If I had not know the type fo girl Kristy was, with her 4.0 GPA, I wouldn’t have taken this all so easily, knowing that she knew what was best for herself and her body. Yes, she could’ve easily not have had sex, but she had taken precautions. She was on birth control and she had been with this guy for almost three years. It was her mistake so it was up to her to fix it and up to her how she would be fixing it. If you make a mistake and buy a house when you weren’t ready you can always sell it. Divorces are there if you’ve made a mistake about who you want to spend your life with. So she can decide whether or not she wants to have the baby she put into her body. Witnessing first hand, from one of the closest people to me, what is running through your head while deciding how to deal with the mistake you had just made, made my decision on where I stood on the subject much easier to make. Not only did she have to get through junior year of high school, she had to graduate, go to college, graduate from college, and start a life, all the while keeping old friends, making new ones, and living every experience, good or bad, to its fullest. How could this happen with a child in her life? So we looked at all the different options...she could of course have the child, raise it, and not be able to live life to the fullest because of a mistake. Adoption was also an option, but who wants to go through the pain and misery of labor only to give away the result? Then there was abortion. No one we knew had ever had an adoption so it wasn’t like she was influenced by anyone. Her family and friends actually didn’t have that much say in her decision. The choice was made on the past, present, and future of her life. Some people argue that you should think of the baby’s life. The one that hasn’t even started. And I’m guessing you’re not supposed to take into consideration your life that has accomplished seventeen years of things. Or what about you boyfriend’s eighteen years of life. What about those forty-two years of your parents’ going down the drain because instead of sending you to college there going to be sending you to the doctor once a month. And instead of looking forward to going to wedding their looking forward to going to their granddaughter’s preschool graduation. That baby’s life will get started if necessary, when necessary. Making abortion illegal is going to be just like making underage drinking illegal. Citizens are st...
