What the fuck. Let's talk about something else. | Some people don't like the death penalty and think it's morally wrong, but it's legal.
The Pro-choice people came up with this debate of when life begins at the very beginning of the abortion debate 30 yrs ago and it's still not a given. I think that abortion has changed our society a lot. I also think abortion is about power more than anything. It was a way for women to have more power then men. Men had the power before abortion, but then women wanted control over life and death, and they got it. I don't think it's really a big plus for women, and it is a societal thing. Society decides what is right and wrong, and laws can be persuasive, but they aren't the only factor. Most women to this day won't admit to having an abortion, and if they do they will be looked at differently. Say it isn't so, but it is. If society really accepted it, it would be tossed around in everyday conversation. |
