Derek,
Your article "Tug-of-war over the right to choose" informed me on the
drawn out fight for abortion in so many countries, like Poland. I was irate after I read this,
I guess it's because I'm accustom to the right to abortion in here in America.
If the law in Poland states that abortion is permitted only in 3 cases, then why was it
still impossible for Agata to get the procedure done there? Basically the law favors
doctor's "personal choices" not to abort the fetus. The law also allowed Fr. Krzysztof,
a pro-life activist, to harass and separate this 14 year old from her mother.
I just can't believe that Krzysztof allowed her number to be released to the internet
and all these strangers just stampeded in her personal world. That is crazy to me.
In all reality, all these "pro-life activists" really did was induce extreme stress on
Agata and the un-born child which is the main cause of mis-carriage. On top of
chasing this teenager through the streets and following her to another hospital,
these people were texting her phone and emailing her. That is a ridiculous violation
of privacy and should have been avoided or stopped by the law. True equality
means everyone has the right to make choices best for their lives. Maybe the government
of Poland needs to examine who their law actually promises equality to. I thought
this article was written very well and you did a good job of keeping your opinion
anonymous. I would like to know your opinion on this issue if don't mind sharing.
Thank you for your time,
Alexandria
In class poem:
Although it may not pleasant, all women should be entitled to abortion.
Forcing a young or unprepared female to have a child is like distortion.
What is "freedom" without the right to choice?
In something as serious as parenthood, I think the only determining factor should be the woman's voice.
