I believe that the pro-choice side is winning the battle over abortion. The first thing I noticed when I went on to the pro-choice website was that they were calling people who were pro-life, anti-choice people. Both sides are fighting for every inch of ground. Something else I noticed about the pro-choice side of things was that it seems like their biggest tactic was trying to make the other side look bad instead of trying to make their side look good.
The first thing you read on their site is:
"Anti-choice people want to outlaw abortion, regardless of the woman's situation. They will stop at nothing to make it harder for women to access abortion. They even target the doctors who provide abortion care.
Anti-choice people use many of the following tactics to reach their goals:"
The arguments that the pro-choice website has I believe are better, due to the extremists that are on the pro-life side of things. It makes very little sense that people who are pro-life, have been killing people who help out with the pro-choice side of things. It is an oxymoron, that people who want life kill people who want people to have a choice.
I do believe that people should have a choice of whether or not they would like to have the baby. I may not respect the reason they decide not to, but for some people, they may not have the tools they need to raise a child. I do believe that children should have consent from their parents, because an abortion is a major procedure to undergo. It is very possible to have a complication during the procedure, and if the child happened to die, there would be a huge problem. The father should have full consent on whether or not his daughter should have an abortion. If a minor needs their parents consent for any other procedure, they should need it for an abortion.
Its good to know that Illinois is not crazy about abortions like they are in some southern states. I think Illinois does a good job for the most part in controlling abortions. There are not many hoops you have to jump through, and it seems pretty direct. One rule I agree with is the spousal consent. The law states that the patient must have spousal consent before a married woman may obtain abortion care.
