Can you share with us your thoughts on Abortion?

I am pro-life and I've always been prolife and I think abortion should be an option for every woman. If a woman has the reproductive right and ability to give birth, why can't she be given the chance to choose not to want that, especially in necessary occasions. I was raped when I was fourteen by some armed robbers. Till today, I still wish that my parents had aborted the baby I had. She's fifteen now and she doesn't stay with me, she stays with my mom and I cannot seem to have her around. She reminds me of things that I do not want to deal with. And having to talk about this now is very painful. I'm going to thirty and I divorced my ex about two years ago. He had a child out of wedlock and this was someone that made me go through hell. If we are to go by the society's definition, isn't that maternity fraud. The whole discussion about paternity fraud just seems so exaggerated to me to be honest because if we are to be fair on the discuss, these married women perpetrating paternity fraud are not sleeping with themselves.

Do you think Abortion should be legalized?

Yes, I am very much of the belief that it should be legalized. Men have no say to paternity fraud if abortion is still illegal. If abortion is legal, at least women would have the chance to terminate the pregnancy before transferring paternity to the wrong father. It's just simply 2 by 2. We can't place one immorality over the other and to be realistic, one isn't an immorality per say, it's just predicated on the ability of women to make choice about their bodies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying belittle the severity of paternity fraud, I just see it as a two way thing.
