Abortion in California

 

    The question of the right to abortion has been an ongoing issue in all of the United States of course including California. Here in California however with the mix of religions, city life and California’s often different ideas. California should be looked at in a different context than many of the other states in regards to abortion. Getting past the ethics question I personally believe abortion should be and stay legal in California because with many of the cities in California being large cities with high amounts of crime, there are higher rates of rape. Also with the fast paced ways of California living, most teenagers are sexually active before those of the same age in “slower paced” states therefore there is more often teenage pregnancies. We must consider if it is “ethical” to make these people live with the situation of carrying an unwanted child and then deal with the struggle of giving that child up. If were going to make abortion illegal, then I think we should also consider making adopting children from other countries illegal too. People who want to adopt should take care of their own unwanted children before they go looking into adoption in other countries. As mentioned before there are many people here with many different religions and opinions and yours might even be in opposition, how do you feel about abortion?

very good argument. I like how you were able to cover many different points of view in just one paragraph. one way in which you could strengthen your argument is by validating your opinions and beliefs by linking to internet sources that share and back up your point of view. a link to statistics on teenage pregnancies would contextualize your argument with factual evidence. Lastly, i think that more discussion on the religious aspect would open the door for more in depth argument for your point of view.

i agree with you to a point. I agree that in certain cases you should be able to get an abortion, but because someone was stupid, had sex and got pregnant does NOT give them a right to kill human life!! It causes the baby an insane amount of pian at 8 weeks, more than half of the people that get abortions get them at 10 weeks or more. How would you like to be pulled out of your asylum and stabbed in the neck with either scissors or a needle and have your life sucked away!? Probally not very much!
