In Undecided...Out Decided.

Sadly, this blog project is coming to an end, and I would first and foremost like to thank everyone who took the time to read this blog and respond to the points I brought up in my posts. Without your comments and responses through engaging in this topic, this blog couldn’t have been successful. Throughout this blog, I have tried my best to present you with unbiased information while interjecting my own opinion on this topic in an un-influential way. As a writer I feel that I have developed in this aspect (with your help), while as a thinker I have grown intellectually in being able to see both sides of an issue. In examining North Carolina’s laws on abortion, I feel that I have become more pro-choice in the context that, if we as a state are planning on following the constitution on legalizing abortions then we need to take that stance. First, we need to make abortions available to all women, then we need to make clear we will never indoctrinate spousal notification, and finally, we need to eliminate parental consent laws as they are clearly unnecessary. Though I may not like the idea of abortion, in researching this topic I have accepted that abortion is legal in our current system, and, as a state, we need to fairly recognize this.

A Cloudy Future

In this post I would like to examine the future of abortion laws in North Carolina if we do not resolve our current problems. Currently, I believe that we have pointless, confusing, and unnecessary laws in our great state. If neither the public nor our politicians attack this issue, then I believe that the frustrations on both sides of the overall abortion issue will rise as a result. My only hope is that we will never experience a tragedy such as Paul Hill’s shooting, and Eric Rudolph’s clinic bombing
