Abortion. That one word can stir an argument for a lot of people. Everyone has the right to think and believe what he or she wants to, but what gets me is this whole debate over choice. “It’s a woman’s right to choose.” “My body, my choice.” These are a couple of the things I hear from various groups supporting abortion.

Yeah, it is a woman’s right to choose, she can choose with whom, when, where and why she has sex, except in rape cases, of course.

It is also her body do with what she wants to. If she chooses to have sex, then she and her partner must also face the possible consequences of sex.

Abortion wouldn’t even be an issue if people would take responsibility for their actions.

If you’re going to have sex you obviously run the risk of getting pregnant. Sex is the choice you get to make. Conceiving a child may or may not be the result of the choice you made. We make a lot of choices in our lives that we can’t take back, so why should we be able to take back the consequences of our own sexual actions?
