Pro-life or Pro-Choice: Is it Really Our Decision to Make? As it states in the American constitution, every American is entitled to have the freedom of speech. With the freedom of speech comes the freedom of opinion. Some people make strong opinions off of what they hear and see, and others make strong educated opinions based on things they have researched and experienced. Many people that have opinions like to voice them, and some like to voice them so strongly that it makes decision making harder for others. When it comes to abortion, does the freedom of speech and opinion really give Americans the right to decide the future for a mother and her possible child, or for the child’s future itself? One of the most prominent places the abortion issue is raised is within the American government. When mixing politics with a controversy, it is proven that the combinations will only make the controversies worsen. Most of the time little problems get blown out of proportion due to the fact that we let politics and religion effect decisions we should be able to make for ourselves. Let us take a look at an example of where the government has taken a small problem and has dramatized and magnified the intensity to now being a subject of argument between every American, and individuals in other countries. William Jasper, senior editor at the New American Magazine, wrote an article titled “’Climate Science’ in Shambles: Real Scientists Battle UN Agenda.” Within Jaspers article he enclosed many compelling examples of how the government has magnified a controversy into something so transverse that the government has “in 2009 sunk 79 billion dollars into” (Jasper 6). His last paragraph sums up the fact that government has more of a say in the controversy of climate change, then the world renowned scientists can say. It does not matter that although these scientists have knowledge and an education to support their
