Rick Santorum, Meet my son

Women should be able to make their own choices regarding their pregnancy, with as much information as they can possibly get, because then it is the women's choice not one that the others make for her.

Through out our lives we face many decisions and we need to be able to make the right choice. Women's lives have been controlled by other for centuries. The article Rick Santorum, meet my sons, talks about how the womens son faces disease, and how the son will die any time soon. This hurts the mother. She does not truly know what to do. She loves the child as much as any mother would love their child. The situation she faces is a lack of information before the baby was born. If she knew that the baby boy was going to have a disease which aren't curable she says she would have aborted the child out of love. She like no other human being wants to see her son suffer. We all have loved ones, who care for us, and are their in times of need. This little baby boy has his mother who loves him, however, she cannot do much to save him. Yes she loves him, but is that enough?

A women should not be judged on the decisions she makes of her pregnancy. If a child is going to turn out to be a little defected and suffer most of its life, what is the point of the child being born? The mother may love her child, but does that mean she acts selfish and allows the child to suffer? A mother's love, I suppose, is hard to understand. If she aborts the baby knowing that the baby is not going to enjoy its childhood is that loving? I imagine mothers do what is going to be best for their child. Whether it is aborting the child or letting the child live?

It is the mothers choice to do what she wants with the baby she has to carry for nine months. We all face difficult choices. But when we face such situations do we always have all the information there to make the right choice? The mother in the article did not have all the information, and now the baby suffers every second of his life. Do we as humans like suffering, generally not.

If we make a decisions without the influence of others we humans feel satisfied. A women should not have to do what she is told to do. She should be given the choice to make. Surely a mother, wouldn't harm her own baby in any way. A mother always looks out for her children, so no matter what the situation is she will always look for the better of her child.

I know my loved ones will always look out for me. They may be strict at sometimes, but that is because they know that is what I need. Women all over the world are judged. In many parts of the world if there is a baby girl born it is a disgrace to the family. The women in such situations does not get to make the choices, others do. Whey is it that when there is a baby the women does not get to make her own choices, after all it is her baby. If a child is going to suffer most of its life, the women should choose to do what she wants with the baby.

  1. You wrote two thoughtful responses. However, make sure that you explicitly say in your introduction(s) that you agree or disagree with the original source. That is a key to this type of essay.
