Below is another students' discussion posts and respond in Prompt #1 write a least 60 words on whether and why you agree or disagree with what they said. 

Prompt #1:Abortion is okay because Women should have the right to choose what they want to do with their bodies. If they want to have an abortion then that is their personal decision. I think that it is a sound argument. If they have the moral right then the premise is true that abortion is ok. The premises are that Abortion is okay and the reason is because woman should have the right to choose what happens to their bodies let’s say they are raped or in a really bad relationship and were not allowed to do such a thing then they are stuck with an unwanted attachment. They have the moral right to make this decision and because of this they are not wrong morally which means that it is ok for them to decide to have an abortion. I believe that these arguments are sound and this is why abortion a choice that a women should be allowed to make.
