Abortion Thoughts
I did work today with breaks to watch some college football and go to the gym. Essentially there was nothing worth telling you about my day today. Instead of blathering about homework, I will instead use this space to present my personal position on a serious issue of the upcoming election (needless to say I side with the democrats).
Abortion:
A woman should have the right to choose. This is a deeply personal decision that the government ought not to interfere in. Furthermore, when abortion was banned, it did not prevent the practice, it merely put women’s lives in jeopardy as they would seek abortions from unlicensed amateurs with no medical equipment. It is fine for people to have their own personal religious beliefs condemning abortion as murder but they cannot use religious doctrine as grounds for restricting the constitutional rights of others. That is the very reason we have separation of church and state.
