Biased views and it doesn't really give a good impression on the reader, personal stuff should be left out unless you achieved something worth mentioning.
Ok, i'll find a way to keep my overall message without mentioning it.

Yeah it was but I'm going to try and get rid of it.
Popped this in the Personal Statement advice forum for you 
Pretty much everything that you mention should be related to law and why it interests you. It's not for you to come across as opinionated in any way. If you are giving your opinion, it should be backed up and it should relate to why you are interested in law. Remember that an undergrad degree is an academic course and is not there to make you a 'lawyer' - you need further study for that. Law is not vocational, not like teaching or medicine for example
I applied for law too !
Did you write down why you want to study law other than dazzling them with your abortion views ?

I didn't mention me wanting to be a lawyer because I want to end up working in a bank.
Yeah I took out my opinion on abortion now. I only put it in because I was talking about controversial topics in law and listed abortion as an example. That's when I put my opinion in but yeah, now I've deleted that part.

Obviously not.
If your bit on abortion comes over as irrational polemic, your application will go straight onto the No pile.
To read law you need to be calmly analytical and be able to consider conflicting points of view. That is what your PS should make clear, not your views on abortion.
If you want to sound-off about social issues then consider applying for Social Policy instead.
