Whether someone is prochoice or prolife, the decision inevitably comes down to the woman who might want an abortion. People outside do not matter when it comes down to the decision, because they are not in the woman’s shoes at that time, and their reason behind it. Although I agree that abortion is essentially ending a life, as it is possible for the fertilized egg to become a fully grown person, I believe that there is no right for someone to say that women should not be granted the option of abortion because it is their body, and what they would like to do to it is their decision alone. After watching the movie If These Walls Could Talk, it showed me what abortion was like before the case Roe Versus Wade. It was on influence that persuaded me to be prochoice.
Whether people are prolife or prochoice, it does not matter, because for most, it does not affect them. It is just their opinion. Both sides have valid arguments, but when it comes down to it, it is the woman who is pregnant who ultimately has to make the choice. I have doubt that women have an abortion just to say they want to experience it, but it is more of what the consequences would be if they do not have an abortion (Greenwood). It is the freedom of the woman who decides to get the abortion to be able to get one, and I feel that no one should condemn her just because she has one.
