Abortion Rights in the United States, Controversial but Compromisable?

  This article is written for well-educated citizens who are choosing their side of the argument, is abortion a justifiable action, this is a current controversial argument in the United States..  Polls are taken of men and women, who have been surveyed on very specific considerations, trimester restrictions, exceptions of health, rape, or incest, and economic options.  The author’s researched statistics on the subject lead to her credibility, and effectively enforce the idea of combining the two most passionately debated ideas.

  The author validates the idea that there is more support for Pro-Choice, than Anti-abortion support, while offering a third option, a restricted abortion policy, which in theory will satisfy both opinions.  This would mean that in cases the majority of voters feel should be an exception, like in cases of rape, incest, and health concerns, should be allowed.  Additionally, abortions would be restricted after the first trimester.

  This would not satisfy those who believe that a child is a human being deserving of life the moment it is conceived, but it would satisfy all of the voters in the middle grounds who wish to give choice in extreme circumstances, and those who wish to give choice to all income levels, and life situations before the cost of aborting a child is too high.  This seems to be a fair combination as it includes the majority of voter’s opinions from the polls, with the minority choosing to decide for everyone that there should be no choice.

  What the article lacks is a major belief that is often ignored when discussing abortion.  There is mention of rights to privacy, and right of the state to protect the "potentiality of human life", but there is no mention of a right to practice your religion of your choosing.  Those who believe strongly in the idea of reincarnation, or that the soul, or entity of the unborn child will be born somewhere else, into a better, more responsible home, are ignored.  The argument that is debated so heavily for these polices is the idea that a child is either conceived at birth, or it is conceived at conception.

  This may not seem pressing to most people who follow the most prominent of religions in the United States, but they are in no way the only religions.  Mostly it is too controversial to even mention, on an already highly controversial debate, but its relevance to though who decide whether or not to abort their child, for any reason, be it income, consequences, abusive life situations, age, rape, incest, or any other variable that would make someone consider this option, would find it relevant to them.
