An Akward situtaion...

A few weeks ago we watched a film and talked about the reproductive right of a women and the choice for her to have an abortion or not. In the Film "Tthe Coat Hanger Project" there were some scenes where there were protestors standing outside of clinic for and against abotrion. When I was younger, maybe around age 12 or so; not really sure but I was asked to go translate for a relative of mine because she had become pregnant and did not want to have anymore children since she had already had 9 kids. So I went along to help her translate. I used to live in Pennsylvaina and in my town where we lived didn't have those kinds of clinics so we had to travel about an hour and a half or so to Philiadelphia to the clinic. When we arrived, there were these peoples standing outside of the clinc just like in the movie. They were handing out pamplets about anti-abortion stuff. They weren't saying anything or getting all up in our face or nothing but I felt very werid because me; a twelve or so kid, going into a abortion clinic with a grown women. I felt them starring me down as if them thinking that I was the one who came there because I had gotten myself pregnant but that wasn't the case.

I don't really have a side on aboriton. I'm not for it but then i'm not agianst it. I think that it really depends on the situation. I guess I stand in the middle because there are both benefitical and not. I think that if a women wants to have an abotion she should go ahead and go through with the procedure. I Just think that before shs does do anything she should outweigh the "What if's" to terminate the pregnancy and the "What if's" if she had the baby, and to think about how doing so will affect her life, her partner's life and what could of been if the child were to be born or not. If a person wants to have the child or abort it they should consider the alternatives and consequences beofre they have sex to avoid being pregnant in the first place. Therre are many facotrs why people have abortions and I don' t really care why they do it, but if they want to the choice is up to them.
