     The readings regarding the issue of Abortion is somewhat very mixed. It is very difficult to find out what being  living is. Opponents say that life begins once the sperm and egg become one zygote, other say life begins once the fetus begins responding to its environment(womb).

     Warren's stance on Abortion mentions anti-abortion stances stating that it is wrong to kill fetuses. But the question is..Is a fetus a human being? is it a living thing? Locke, Jefferson mention early on that all beings deserve the right to LIFE, liberty and pursuit of happiness/property. My relation to anti-abortion is linked to anti death penalty.

     Either way My faith plays little role in my opposition to abortion. The reason being of my opposition is involved with life being a freedom and not a privelege. But sometimes I might have to play Devil's Advocate because yes.. what if the female's health is threatned or what if she is raped or fallen victim to incest?

     Another Devils Advocate situation could be what we talked last class reagrding a court case regarding a couple that sued a hospital for failing to detect a genetic disorder during the early stages of the pregnancy. These are some things that one has to consider. Although a woman has the right to choose do not forget she too can have long term conseqeuences of her own. Consider psycholigical effects, not all women fall to psychological downfall after abrotion but it has to be considered.

     Warren clearly states her point on her anti-abortion stance and uses great examples such as the space explorer and the alien and such. Infants are well valued to society and Warren prefers that society is to be taxed to help find these infants a home and links infanticicde with abortion. Yes I do beleive that placing the unwanted baby for adoption is a great alternative to abortion.

     Although i support the right to life, It is very best to support and allow unobstructive access to contraceptives, the reason why there are abortion is because men and women do not have proper access to contraceptives. Remember, contraceptives is not abortion but a detterent to it.
