Women's health clinics sue to halt Texas abortion law

1. The Dallas Morning News. (Sept 28, 2013) http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/state-politics/20130927-womens-health-clinics-sue-to-halt-texas-abortion-law.ece

2. Category of problem: pregnant women

3. Level of category: state

4. The article concerns: Texas House prepares to pass a bill that would limit access to abortion.

5. Why is it important? This affects the situations of families of pregnant woman who can't have the child for whatever reason. Based off of religious views, social norms, financial situations, the thought of abortion may be an ultimatum for these women who face this choice and therefore may need this choice.

6. My opinion:
Personally, I put myself into the shoes of women who face the choice of abortion and I feel like if that was me, I would have to give birth to the child because I can't even fathom deliberately putting a child to rest because of my mistakes. The only exception that could come to mind is if the woman had been raped. I feel like that was something totally out of her control and unintentional on the woman's part. Anything intentionally done to have a child would be full responsibility of the woman having the child. That is a selfish act to kill another human and I feel like you have to adjust to the changes with having a child because you're at fault. I go both ways on this issue just because if you do consider people's religious views and etc, sometimes it is what they have to do not what they want to do, and women may not be in control of the action especially for girls who are under age having children. Thinking about the state of when the woman is already pregnant and has that option to undergo the abortion process, I believe it is up to her ultimately and shouldn't feel like the government should limit access to abortion. Every human being has their own beliefs and I do not feel as if the government should be the ones to establish the ultimatum for women in this situation. I also feel maybe instead that the government should implement more programs for women to obtain abstinence to further prevent these situations from occurring.
