The other day in journalism class, seniors came in our class and presented their senior project. Their topic was abortion and what it is. Some women and or teenagers get abortions because they can't afford to have a baby or they got pregnant by an accident. When girls get an abortion they kill the baby while it is still inside of their body. Abortion is basically killing someone, people don't think of it as murder but the baby is still a human. Since 1973 up until now, about 54,000,000 babies have been killed due to an abortion. About 137 babies die from abortion per hour! If people don't want babies they should not have sex or use a condom. If a woman is raped, they can get medical care and most likely will not become pregnant. Most of the abortions are caused by African American women. 2000 was the highest year of abortion as of today. It is known that abortion can cause other medical problems later in life such as ectopic pregnancies double, higher chances of miscarriage, and pelvic inflammatory diseases also increase.
"Abortion is murder and demeans the way of life." I strongly agree with what one of the seniors said. I think abortion is wrong and is also harmful to the person that is getting an abortion. It can cause mental, emotional, and physical damage to a person. People that have unplanned pregnancies should not get abortions, they should put the baby up for adoption. It doesn't really cost that much & it does no harm. I strongly think abortion is not the way, people who get it should be arrested.
FYI: African Americans do not get most abortions in this country. Remember that only around 10% of the American public is African-American. They do, however, have the highest rate of abortion--likely due to poverty and lack of access to contraception.
