Answer to Question #2

Abortion has been an on going political issue for decades. Liberals and Conservatives tend to fight over whether or not it's a woman's choice to keep the baby or if it's society's choice. Since I'm a liberal, I support 'pro-choice' because our country is built on the basis of freedom and taking away a person's right to choose would be to take away their freedom. But one of the reasons I gravitate towards this issue is because of the people in charge who are making the decision. They're mostly men. Currently the amount of men in Congress is an overwhelming number compared to the amount of women and yet, they still feel inclined to make this decision. The irony is, their own personal beliefs conflict with how they politically stand. In the past there have been congressmen who have voted against abortion yet their daughters or wives have had one. Essentially it should be up to the women of this society to decide because they have to carry a baby. Even though abortion is seen as murderous, there are some women who are not suitable to be mothers and they could end up hurting themselves and the child during their pregnancy. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about the issue but when it comes down to the actual decision, it should be given to the mother and no one else.
