It has recently come to my attention that it is possible for a
young woman under the age of 18 to have an abortion without needing a parent or
guardian's consent. I'm shocked that this is even a possibility, considering
the state of our society when it comes to matters such as that.
Today's society is just a mosh pit. Everyone fights about
everything possible, yet our country is supposed to be founded on the basis of
freedom, nothing we do seems to be anything similar to our "goals."
We fight over gay rights, feminism, abortion, wars in other countries, ethics
in other countries, anything that could possibly lead to a large scale
argument, our kind seems to take and put an immense amount of work into making
it a huge deal.
Firstly, my views on all of these topics follow a similar pattern.
The largest question leading them: why do you care? Where does it affect you?
90% of the time it doesn't and the person is just trying to dictate someone
else's life, regardless of their views. Let’s take an example here - gay
rights. Many believe that same sex marriage is wrong. They believe that it is
either against some religious idol’s teaching, or is the opposite of what
nature want. Now let’s take this into perspective, why does this said homophobe
care? Because it’s different, and they’re uncomfortable. I will admit, there
are some homosexual couples and/or individuals who are very abrasive with their
personalities, and can be a little much. That isn’t because they’re homosexual,
it’s just who they are. That person would be uncomfortable to be around
regardless of their sexual preference. So therefore, it doesn’t matter, you’ll
have to deal with them like you would anybody else, without taking into account
that they’re not heterosexual.
Abortion however has a couple of twists and turns in its debate.
There are debates about ethics in this topic. Whether or not abortion is
killing a human being or not, and whether or not we have the power to decide
another human beings life like that without consent. While I don’t have a good
solution to the problem, my views on it are pretty straightforward and apply to
those who believe for and against abortion.
Don’t be overbearing about it, if it doesn’t affect you, or anyone
in your family, there is absolutely no reason to harass anyone over this topic.
This topic is not much different from deciding whether or not to pull the plug
on a patient who relies solely on life support.
