Abortion... Pro-What?

Source Accessed 9-12-08 9:55 pm

McCain finally discussed his views on abortion. He made his views public by going to famous TV shows for women, such as "The View" and a taping of the "Rachel Ray Show". McCain was booed while stressing his feelings of abortion. He feels that the decision to legalize abortion in 1973 "was a very bad decision, it was a bad decision." He also faced questions about Palin, Obama, and religion. It was noted that he performed very well under the continuous stress of the questions and live audiences.


I don't know where I actually stand with abortion rights. I feel that a women should be able to chose the fate of her baby but I feel that a women should not at the same time. For women, and even some men, that take this issue very seriously will find McCain's interview very important. I, on the other hand, do not because that is not what I look at when I am deciding who I am going to vote for.

Abortion was definitely the primary source of this article with Palin, Obama, and religion being the secondary issues. When I asked my friends what they felt, they said almost the same thing that I did, that it doesn't really matter to them because they were not really that concerned about abortion. It's not that are not concerned, but certain women have certain situations that abortion is needed, others do not. When it is abused, abortion should be illegal, when it is not, abortion is the best way. Tricky situation to be put in, Pro-Life or Pro-Choice? That is the question.
