Abortion is one of the most sensitive topics that America has seen yet. Of course, we have rape, domestic violence, racism, and police brutality but I have never seen people come so undone like they do when the topic of discussion is abortion. In the past, I would put my belief in one side without even trying to see the other. In fact, I wouldn't stand to hear what other people would say against my opinion, but as I got older, I realized that there are just some people in the world who don't believe the same things that I think and that's okay. I had to outgrow my fixed mindset and see that my words weren't facts; my words were only opinions.

I choose to remain neutral in the debate over legalizing or illegalizing abortion, but overall, I don't believe in abortion because I think it's wrong. There's no underlying reason for why I believe this because I've always thought that killing a child before it's born is wrong, but I have friends who say that abortion is right and I'm not judging them for their beliefs. I also believe that it's a woman's body, so she can do whatever she wants to with it because her body isn't my body, her life isn't my life, and who am I to judge someone? While there are alternatives to abortion, like putting the child up for adoption, some people think that it's easier not to have the baby at all and that's entirely up to them, and I won't hold anything above their head.

If you choose to support and believe that abortion is okay, then I am here to tell you that's your belief and I will respect it, and I won't push my ideas on you. If you choose to support and believe that abortion is inhumane, then I am here to tell you that's your belief. You believe that killing an unborn child is lawfully wrong and unjust and I won't push you any further. If you are like me and choose to remain neutral, keep doing what you're doing and be there for your friends, family, and colleagues who want to take a stance on either side of the pendulum.
