Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in all of life. The abortion debate is a very complicated and personal issue, and it usually involves people with views that range from pro-life to pro-choice. With so many people on both sides, it can be hard to understand how others view the issue.
The decision of abortion is one of the most difficult choices that women have to make in their lives. Women should be able to make this choice and not be affected by anyone else’s beliefs or feelings about the issue, regardless of whether they’re religious or non-religious.
