Opinion Article Two

Through out the years many teens have gotten pregnant and gotten abortions. In many cases abortion is not the way to go because of health relating problems. But some teen or even adults need the abortion for many good reasons too. The real question here is, Is abortion right and should it be allowed and legal to everyone in the United States.

The majority of woman who have had abortions are teenagers. Studies have proven that teens are the ones that have more sex and end up pregnant with a baby. Since teenagers do not have the responsibility to take care of a child or do not have the time or money, the first thing that pops up in their mind is getting an abortion. But getting an abortion is not always right, their are many health problems that come along with the abortion. A woman can bleed to death or she can pass out and not regain consciousness. Yet many teens seem to keep on doing it unaware of the danger they are putting to their body�s.

But in other cases a woman and /or teen needs to get an abortion, not being able to speck for themselves. A girl could get raped and not want to have the baby that is going to turn out just like the person that raped her. Or its against their religion to get an abortion. In India girls are not allowed to wear t-shirts or pants because of their religion, getting an abortion is even worst. In Mexico it is illegal to have and abortion, but if you are lucky you can find a place where you can get an abortion.

So is it okay to have abortions legal to all teen in the United States? NO. For many reasons: 1)A parent should know what exactly is happening to their child no matter what. A parent is still in charge of the teen in till it has become and adult. 2)The teen could make a wrong choice and regret it for the rest of her life. 3)Even though its nothing yet the teen is still killing something. If the teen had a chance to live life why can�t the baby that is growing inside the teen live to.

There is no right or wrong answer to the question. Its just a matter of what the person thinks and my opinion is that we shouldn�t have abortions legal, that is why they invented the morning after pill, now that should be legal to all teen everywhere.
