People’s Access to their Free Will
No doubt abortion is one of the most controversial issues to discuss in any democratic country. It has always been a matter of great concern
for at least two markedly political groups. On the one hand, the pro-life people who consider abortion a human rights violation -usually addressed as a “war against the child”;
and, on the other, the pro-choice people who claim that restricted access to
abortion also, in turn, violates women’s human rights.
Definitely, this issue can be debated following multiple
trains of thought. Though this topic deserves further analysis in
terms of its ideological, philosophical and scientific bases, I do believe that
political action must exercised. Chile was, until this very year, one of the few countries where abortion was thoroughly illegal. There is then so much for us to do about it, as lack of deep understanding of this public health issue holds us up to guarantee people's well-being. To me, as a Chilean
liberal and advocate of a secular state, this is unacceptable.
I do not believe in God. I believe that knowledge and moral
principles are culturally embedded, so they depend on what people consider
acceptable in society by mutual agreement. I also believe that any secular and democratic state
must guarantee people’s liberties, so if I don’t share any religious principles, why
should I be forced to follow something that I don’t believe in?
I don’t personally support postmodernist principles or
ethical relativism (see Lipovetsky, 1983). Setting the parameter debate over
whether you believe in God or not appears to be inadequate or not very
sophisticated.
Because of the government’s decision to continuously dodge the implementation of abortion in Chile, there is a need to keep the debate going on what a secular and democratic state should be to guarantee people’s access to their free will.

I believe that the church is the one that most influences the opinions of others about being against abortion, this is no longer a political-religious issue, it is an extremely sensitive issue for every woman.
ResponderEliminarI think that as people we can’t form an opinion without first getting informed about the topic in depth
ResponderEliminarWell I have to admitt that i agree with the partner above, I am not informed deeply on this topic, and I think that opinions need knowledge and arguments.
ResponderEliminaris important to research information and to see the actual news, in order to be able to participate in this topic
ResponderEliminarI like the way you expose the topic. We really need a free abortion law for women !

ResponderEliminarI believe that the respect and free expression in the whole world should be taken into account, since we are all in our right to give our opinion and act for what is most convenient in the case of abortion, I think that defines us as society.
