pro choice pro battle

i took the conservative side of the abortion debate in class but i struggled because i dont necessarily beleive in it. they make valid points but they only do so to gain sympathy. yes it is a living cell, yes the child could end up being something great, and yes the woman could be scarred with the decision for the rest of her life. it is murder.
i personally take the liberal side however. all of the above are true, but when it comes down to the decision, IT MUST BE UP TO THE PERSON CARRYING THE BABY. it really is as simple as that. im all for people fighting abortion and spreading the word of how cruel it can be, but it should stay as opinions and arguments and not as laws. the woman should be the one who takes in all considerations and ultimately decides if she wants to let the baby live whether it was a rape or a misuse of contraception. the battle should still be fought by all means but the government should withdraw its power over the issue. they physically cant control the woman because she could easily get an illegal abortion if she strongly felt she and the child would be better off unborn.
