INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY - ABORTION ACTIVITY

Abortion Activity

Activity Questions:

  • Should abortion be allowed?
  • Is it a religious or legal issue?

I was born and raised in a Catholic country where abortion is considered illegal, and as a result, my previous self was opposed to it. My position on this issue evolved only in my late junior high school years because of countless discussions and conversations that I read on various social media platforms.

The arguments of pro-abortion supporters made more sense to me than those of anti-abortion supporters. They made me realize that growing up in a Catholic country should not be a barrier to abortion because it is more of a legal issue. Other people's religious beliefs should have no influence on it because not everyone shares the same faith — and they are not the ones bearing the child.

The decision of a pregnant mother to abort her child should not involve any religion because, contrary to popular belief, it is not an act of murder. You cannot say that a woman killed a person because the child inside her womb is not yet a person until it reaches seven months. So, using pills such as the “morning-after pill” cannot be deemed abortion, nor can abortion before seven months of pregnancy.

Still, if a mother chooses to terminate her child during its seven-month stay in her womb, I will not object because it is her body and her choice to make.

Abortion should not be an issue in the first place since society should not have authority over how a woman treats her body and makes decisions about it. This is why contraception should be a personal choice rather than a community regulation.

It is entirely up to the woman to decide what she wants to do with her body — whether to use or not use contraceptives. Others should not interfere with her decision-making because what if the woman is a single mother with no financial resources to support the child? Society cannot do anything to help this child because it is not their responsibility to raise him or her.

That is why only the woman who will bear the child has the power to choose whether to obey or refuse to conform to society’s expectations.
