In this generation, it is strange for a college woman to be pro-life. Women are always told that they should have rights to their own body and as a woman, I disagree with abortion. When I tell people that I am Pro-life, they dismiss my beliefs and tell me how it is wrong.
As a young women, I am met with both surprise and shock when people learn my beliefs on abortion. In today's society, it would be easier if I went with the majority view. But at some point in your life, you have to stand up for what you believe in and I do not believe in abortion. I believe that "Every life matters".
Every human life is valuable and should be cherished. A child is always a blessing and should be treated like on from the time they are conceived until the end.
I believe that life does not happen at birth, but happens at conception. From conception until birth the child develops just like it develops through the different stages of its life. It has to grow in the womb and grow from year to year to turn into the person they are meant to be. No human value should be diminished at any stage of their life.
I also believe in Pro-Life because would it be fair to punish an unborn child because you do not feel as if you can raise it? There are many other options that you can do besides ending a life. There are many couples that are in the world that would love to have children and can not. Babies can be dropped off at a hospital that can give the baby the medical attention it needs, as well as help with finding a home.
You do not have to have a child on your own. Women become mothers from the minute they find out they are expecting, just like the man becomes a father. Your parents, as well as the man's parents, now become Grandparents and a support system. You may think that aborting a child is a personal decision, but it's not. The child that may be only days old has already impacted so many lives and aborting the child would only break people's hearts.
It's not easy to be a woman and be pro-life because other women instantly think that you, as a woman, are against women's rights. I believe that being a Pro-life woman shows how strong I am. It shows that you do not put yourself first, but instead, you put your unborn children's rights first. An unborn child does not have a voice, but who better to be their voice that their mother?
In the words of Dr. Seuss, " A person's a person, no matter how small.
