I don't think that the correct argument is "Is abortion ok" I think that the argument needs to be "Is abortion murder?" And when you get into this argument there are very convincing arguments for both sides.

One being that until the infant is born it is an extension of the mother and therefor it is her choice to do with it what she wants. However a new Alberta law has made it legal for children to sue parents for damages that were incurred while the child was in the womb, But only in the case of a car accident. This law was in response to the Canadian legislation that provinces could allow a child to sue its parents, but only in the case of a car accident.

So if a child can sue for damages that are incurred in the womb then does that not seem to operate under the same guise that an unborn child has rights separate from the mothers while in the womb?

The fact that there is no legal definition for a fetus further darkens the issue. It is fully understandable for a pro choice believer to use the fact that the fetus is simply a lump of tissue and therefor should not be considered as a human child. Many pro life activists rebuke this claim with biological "timetables" stating fetus development.

Another important issue when considering abortion is the relatively newer ability to screen for disabilities at certain stages of fetal development. People argue that this allows society to eliminate people with disabilities it is also argued that because the testing can not decipher between levels of severity that it is unfair to abort based on the results. However many people will argue that aborting can save a child years of suffering or will save unprepared parents from having a child that they can not effectively parent.

My views on abortion? I don't know for sure I'm a Christian and because of that I do believe that abortion is murder I find it hard to see the difference between aborting an infant in the womb and taking a newborn and denying it food or oxygen. However Ive also never been in a situation where Ive had to seriously consider abortion maybe if I was my beliefs would change. I guess its hard to tell. At this point though as far as abortion being a right, Well I don't see murder as being a right. I also believe that if a child who is born can sue its parents for damages caused in the womb then if that child were killed then it would have been able to charge for murder. Like I said though this belief could change. We never really have a full perspective on any issue until we have experienced it.

I believe that the abortion debate will never be easily solved I also believe that the Canadian government needs to put a comprehensive definition out for a fetus and to what extent a fetus should have constitutional rights.

I chose two songs for the lyrics today because I wanted songs that looked at the issue from both sides, I originally made this psot without lyrics but then I decided I wanted them in. I believe that through music we can see issues in a way that makes them less intimidating thats why you find lyrics in my blog.

And then she heads for the clinic
and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Everlast~What its like

Mommy I dont like this clinic
Hopefully you'll make the right decision
And dont go through with the Knife incision
But it's hard to make the right move
When you in high school
How you have to work all day and take night school
Hopping off da bus when the rain is pouring
What you want morning sickness or the sickness of mourning
