Abortion. A very delicate subject to talk about, but more complicated and risky it is to make the decision to have one. Many reasons are hidden behind it, but it is a woman's decision to take that step. Many women have abortions each year in the United States, 80% of them bing practiced on unmarried women. What is ith that pushes a woman to take care of her 'problem' this way?
Ever since the government made abortions legal within a certain period of time, abortion rates have shown an obvious and scary increase, "the abortion rate in the United States was higher than recent rates reported for Canada and Western European countries and lower than rates reported for China, Cuba, the majority of Eastern European countries."
Besides being a 'solution,' abortion should be seen like a crime such as commiting murder; after all it does involve killing a human being, though unborn, it's still there.
What makes this situation even scarier is the fact that the U.S. government decided to make it possible for teenagers to have an abortion without their parents' consent. Don't they realize what this does? For example, a teenager, not bein mature enough to make this type of decisions, can think 'oh well, if I were to get pregnant I can just abort the baby, and I won't get in trouble.'
Teenagers don't have any idea of how important it is to practice safe sex, neither do they know what a big responsibility it is to bring a child to the world. I believe the government should reconsider this decision.
