17. Controversial Symbol: Pro Life Ribbon

Should we allow baby-killing? Is a fetus a form of life? Can he/she/it feel anything? Does removal of  fetus mean killing a life? What about the women that were sexually harassed? Are they allowed to abort? What about teenage mothers? Is abortion ethical?

These are just a few questions that surrounds the issue of abortion. Groups have been debating on this issue since the technology made it possible. Some believe that the fetus is indeed a form of life, which makes abortion unethical and similar to murder. Others, however, see the teenage mother and women and think that those people should have a chance to choose their future. Still, there is a group that believes fetuses do not have feelings, therefore, abortion is acceptable. Government and political parties of different countries take different sides on this issue, so countries differ in the policy of abortion.

The Pro Life Ribbon is a symbol for the group that disapproves of abortion. Its little white feet, baby blue color and baby pink color all signifies the baby. "Choose life" and "Let there be life" urges people to let the baby live on. This symbol is controversial because of its link to abortion.
