Why Abortion Should Be Illegal

Why abortion? When thinking about abortion and reasons people do it, the first thing that probably comes to mind is that it is done because of age, being too young, having school to worry about first, finding ways to finish school, having a baby and not being able to afford it, and even just because the mother does not want to be a single parent and have to worry about all those things by herself. Abortion should be illegal because the reasons people abort are mainly just excuses, it can have serious long-term effects on women, or because of political and religious views.

“You do not have the right to be left alone with that abortion decision. The child is present, you are not alone.” A women should never think it is ok to make decisions on her own if she carries another human in her womb. If a teen or young women is on the way to thinking that abortion is the best choice, leading that women into other choices is the best and could save her from many bad situations, even if she only cares about herself. Open their eyes to see all the different options there is available for them so that they do not come to regret it in a future.
