After class on Thursday it is apparent how truly controversial the book "Beloved" is. I don't bleieve that Sethe's actions can be justified by anyone, but it is made apparent that she wanted to protect her child and she felt that she could best protect Beloved from saving her from the horrible grips of slavery.
   As for the Abortion issue, no one should ever say that something is right or wrong because everyone has their own opinions. My personal opinion is that Abortion is a choice that every female should have. It should not be critized by men because being pregnant and going through child birth is something they will never experience. When I think about abortion the scenario that comes to mind is if a woman is raped and becomes impregnated by the rapist, and she doesn't want to carry the child that has been conceived from such a degrading horrible act then as a woman she has the right to choose abortion. Another example is when a woman has experienced a Tubal pregannacy a woman must have an abortion or she will die. Yet another example, when incest has occured and the female wants to get an abortion to save the baby from birth defects that can be experienced from incestual ralations. I know that many people believe that there is a low percentage of incest incidents but it is not as low as everyone believes. There are so many reasons that abortion is viewed as necessary, therefore people especially men should not be so quick to pass judgement.
