Abortion Procedures - FEMINIST MAJORITY FOUNDATION

I read an article about a South Carolina bill, in which would require women to wait 24 hours after viewing an ultrasound prior to having an abortion. A House subcommittee approved the legislation and now it will be passes on to the South Carolina state House Judiciary Committee. The current requirements in South Carolina to proceed with an abortion are women have to wait just 1 hour after viewing their fetus to decide. My opinion on this topic is very harsh. I personally DO NOT believe in abortion. I might be old fashion but I was always tought that if you don't want a child, don't do things that can make you have a child. I know this is a different day and time but come on, murder is killing a living, breathing soul. Isn't a fetus the same thing, just in a womb? I do see both sides of the story though. I understand that there are certain circumstances that women have to have an abortion. I know that with things like tubal pregnancy it is required to abort the pregnancy to keep the mother alive. Not only the health aspect of abortion, but I do understand that if someone is molested or raped, they probably wouldn't want to carry a child from that. Still, I truly believe that once a child is conceived and it begins developing organs, hands, fingers, and toes, it is a human. It has a heartbeat and does breath but in a different manner than we do. For the sake of the children I hope South Carolina does pass this legislation. I believe that if mothers we forced to go home and think about killing something so innocent, a fewer amount of them would ever go through with the process.

Who Am I?

I am a returning student to Morehead State University. I took a couple years off to get my life in order and decide what I wanted to do for the rest of it. Now I am coming back as a P-5 Education/ Special Needs major. I have been married for almost 2 and a half years. We don't have any children but our pets make up for the kids. We have 3 dogs, Tinkerbell, Reagan, & ElRoy and we have 4 cats, Dolly Madison, Jacob Clyde, Cookie Dough, & Harley. Yea, I know we have crazy names. In all reality though, they are our children and you sure couldn't tell them otherwise. Well thats a little about me.
