Abortion is no doubt one of the most controversial issues in the 21st century. It has created a firestorm in both politics and religion that can stir up emotions that have even lead to violence. Lately the issues of woman rights and the right to life have been making waves in the splitting party lines. The landmark decision in 1971 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade made abortion in the first trimester the woman's choice no matter the circumstance. While most conservatives and pro-lifers argue that most abortions should be illegal and that the unborn fetus is as important as the mother's life, others beleive that there are some instances where the mother's life is at risk and the fetus must be aborted to save the woman's life. While I agree that some abortions are wrong, on the other hand there are other circumstances when it is necessary, and it is the woman's right to save her own life.
