With the presidential election of Donald Trump he brought his ideas of how America should be. His opinion started conflict among many of us in America. Bringing up issues such as immigration, terrorism, and abortion. Donald Trump's views on abortion have encouraged others with the same views to come out and begin to protest.
Before the presidential election abortion was already a controversial issue. For those pro-life the idea of abortion was terrible and inhumane. They feel that abortion of a child is against civil rights because the children are deprived of life. When a mother is aborting a child that is a result of a rape, people who are pro-life feel that since it was not the child's fault it shouldn't be aborted. Many of these people use religion to back their idea of pro-life, using God to make those who abort their children feel shame for what they've done.
They don't need to do that because abortion may be the hardest thing a woman can do. When women abort their children there are almost always extenuating circumstances. There are those who do abort children because of the unexpected pregnancy, but to want to take away a woman's right to her own body is a crime in itself. We are going back in history because the problem with abortion was already dealt with in the case of Roe vs Wade and since this idea is brought up again today is a problem. Though I don't fully agree with the idea of abortion I fully agree with respecting a woman's choice.
This controversy of abortion was a problem in the past and a problem today. Someday we will need to resolve the issue like all our other problems, with compromise, but the day we start making it illegal for abortion and start telling women that they aren't in charge of their own bodies is the day we stop calling America the land of the free.
