What it's all about

The purpose of this blog is to explore the ideas and arguments of both sides of the issue of abortion.

Posits to be explored:
1. What, if any, is the causal relationship between one's religion and the likelihood of seeking/receiving an abortion or supporting a woman's right to choose?
2. What, if any, is the causal relationship between one's socioeconomic status and the likelihood of seeking/receiving an abortion or supporting the right to choose?
3. What, if any, is the causal relationship between one's political beliefs and the likelihood of seeking/receiving an abortion or supporting the right to choose?
More posits may be added later as my research into this topic progresses.

I would like to stress to my readers that I, like any other human, am bias. As a result of my humanity, I am but a comglomeration of insight, lessons, and experiences. Though I have never had personal experience with this subject, either through myself or someone I know, I have my own steadfast opinions on this topic and I will not pretend I don't. I believe strongly in a woman's right to choose whether or not she wants to have an abortion. As it stands in my mind, the issue of abortion is in two separate pieces. I believe that a government has no right to tell a woman what she can or can not do with her own body. The way I see it, whether or not a woman seeks an abortion is her own choice that can be inspired by religion, money, or anything else. If a woman has objections to this subject, then it is her right not to receive an abortion, and vice versa. My opinions on this matter have little to do with religion, as I have not been to church since I was almost 12 years old, though politics do play a role.
As you can see I am by no means an unbiased-teller-of-truth. I am simply a student seeking to learn and share.
