Controversy is everywhere; people can take the least controversial things and make them controversial just for the sake of discussing them. There are many issues that are of great concern to people nowadays; issues that provoke debate and become important issues in presidential elections. People have all kinds of views on these very issues, and most of the time the Bible has a great influence on people's final decisions about how they feel. People believe things are wrong because the Bible tells them it is wrong. It doesn't matter what religion you are the Bible in a very important piece of history in this society. Things like abortion and homosexuality are frowned upon because of the way the Bible is interpreted. People believe that the sixth commandment “thou shalt not kill” also applies to the fetus; or they believe that the union between a man and a woman means that people of the same sex cannot have the same sacred union. People take this now outdated piece of history and try to apply it to our society today without taking into account the fact that the human race has changed since the Bible was written. When the topic of abortion comes up, people refer to the Bible's sixth commandment "thou shalt not kill" and believe that abortion means killing a child, regardless of what stage of pregnancy it is in. People believe that abortion should not be legal. Paul Campos, a law professor at the University of Colorado, said: “Whether or not abortion should be legal depends on the answer to the question of whether and at what point a fetus is a person cannot be answered logically or empirically. The concept of parenting is neither logical nor empirical. It is essentially, or a quasi-religious idea, based on fundamental (and therefore unverifiable) assumptions about the nature of the world.” about abortion, when it is acceptable and when it is not and some simply think that regardless of the circumstances, it is never okay. There are people who believe that abortion is only acceptable under certain conditions, for example if the woman has been raped or she got pregnant due to incest. Some people believe that abortion is acceptable when the woman is in danger. People who are most concerned with a woman's choice believe that abortion is acceptable when it is performed in the first trimester.
