My opinion piece is about abortion, and how women should have the right to choose whether they get one or not.
Here are some arguments that I may wish to investigate further/ expand on:
Statistically, the number of abortions does not change, regardless of whether they are performed in countries where it's legal or illegal, so for the safety of vulnerable women, abortion clinics should be open and available to everyone.
People who are anti-abortion should focus on contraception instead of closing abortion clinics.
Women shouldn't be forced into keeping a child that they cannot/ do not wish to support.
Pro-choice is fair, because if a woman personally doesn't want to have an abortion, she doesn't have to. Other people's choices do not affect her (or anyone else) personally.
An unborn fetus is not a human being, and cannot feel pain.
