Reflective Journal on Legalizing Abortion What just happened? Various debates regarding whether or not abortion should be legalized have been happening without reaching to a unison agreement. One group of people argue that this is a woman’s right and thus she is the one to make the choice.

In the cultural setting, employees from different backgrounds perform differently in certain situations.
