Controversy. Its everywhere. Its also the main reason why everything's an argument. An article we read in class this past week discussed a major ongoing issue of controversy in our society--the legality of abortion. The article, titled Abortion Distortions: Senators from both sides make false claims about Roe v. Wade, discusses Senators Barbara Boxer and Rick Santorum's false statements on the issue of abortion. Boxer lists the negative effects that overturning Roe v. Wade would have on society, while Santorum lists the negative effects that he believes the decision in Roe v. Wade has had on society. The point of the article is to present facts proving some of the senators' claims to be false.
The argument is worth discussing because abortion is still such a controversial subject to this day. Its a controversy that may never be solved. Personally, I do not support abortion at all. Unless there is a life-threatening health issue for the mother, there is no excuse to kill an unborn child. A woman must live with her decisions, and deal with the possible consequences. Even if she can not afford to raise and support a child, adoption is always an option. No matter how horrible and unbearable the situation may seem at the time, abortion would undoubtedly lead to a lifetime of regret. I can't imagine living with the thought of ending a life that never had a chance to begin.
