by Asma Gaba ![]() Abortion: Should it be legal? Should it be banned? Pro-choicers believe that abortion should be legal and accessed easily, because every woman deserves the right to terminate a pregnancy (before the fetus can survive outside the womb, which is normally between 24 to 26 weeks). Pro-lifers, on the other hand, believe that a termination of pregnancy is immoral and should not be used. Whether it is for religious or personal reasons, pro-lifers believe that a fetus should always have the chance to undergo the full 9 months in its mother’s womb- and so pushing laws in favor of banning abortions seem to be the right thing to do. There’s a distinct difference between being personally pro- life and politically. If one is personally pro-life, they still believe that abortions should be legal, therefore voting pro-choice. Political pro-lifers will vote against the choice, inherently attempting to change laws due to their own feelings against abortion. What most people fail to understand is that pro-choice does not equal pro-abortion; pro-choice means that the option of termination should be readily obtainable. In fact, one can be pro- choice but personally dislike the idea of an abortion. Being politically pro-life is essentially restricting the rights of women across the nation. If one doesn’t enjoy the idea of an abortion, that’s a personal belief. Every single woman deserves to have the opportunity to terminate an unwanted pregnancy- the choice should be available- whether it clashes with one’s personal opinions or not. Because you can be pro-life and pro-choice.
