Response to Kelly

I respect Kelly Rogers’s thoughts and opinions on her blog titled “Stage Seven Blog” on the passionate subject of abortion. I agree that it is not moral to terminate a pregnancy based upon a quick solution to a problem. I disagree with the statement referring that the decision of President Elect Obama to sign the Freedom of Choice Act will shape the future of our country or even become the most significant subject that will stand out during his tenure. Abortion should be kept private. Abortion should be the decision made only by persons involved. Abortion is a moral decision. There are many different scenarios that force individuals to make decisions that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Abortion is one of them. The bill states “that every woman has the fundamental right to choose to bear a child, to terminate a pregnancy prior to fetal viability, or to terminate a pregnancy after fetal viability when necessary to protect the life or health of the woman”, it does not state that “"health" being defined as anything physical, emotional, psychological, anything related to the well-being of the mother.” I agree the option to terminate after “fetal viability” is acceptable, only if there are known physical complications that force the individuals involved to choose life or death. If no known medical complications are present and the individual chooses to abort, in my opinion, the decision is immoral. It should be an unlawful act and not endorsed by the government.
