Abortion in United States

Abortion

America stands for freedom and that's what the people of the United States of America deserve. Regarding the issue of abortion, there is no other option than Pro-choice. The extremely controversial issue of abortion should not even be an issue. Americans have freedom to make there own decisions regarding there life and the life of there own unborn fetus. The reason this issue is so back and forth is because it wasn't around when the constitution was formed, saying nothing about abortion because it didn't exist. Abortion is legal and should remain legal as long as we live in a free society where we can make our own choices.

It would be wrong to rob Americans of there freedom to make there own decision in regarding abortion. In a recent case, Amanda Miller 17, was raped by a thirty-three year old Hispanic man. Miller was traumatized and later found out that the rape caused her to be pregnant. Should she be forced to have the baby? The answer is defiantly not. She was brutally raped and got pregnant against her will but some of society is still telling her to take on the responsibility of having the baby. Every time Miller would look at her baby she would be reminded of what had happened to her. Abortion should be legal to help kids like Amanda Miller. Thanks to abortion being legal Amanda was able to have the abortion stay in school and not have to quit the swim team, ASB and all of her friends.

Abortion should also be legal on a financial term. Thousands of babies today are born into poverty. Having a baby becomes a large financial burden on any family. Some couples that are not financially stable that have a baby, ruin both their lives and the life of the baby. Its not fair for the child that is born into a torn family or a family that cannot

afford to put a healthy diet on the table. If abortion was illegal there would be thousands of more families that would be in financial debt and not be able to support a child. A family should be able to start a family with a child when they are ready and able to support the family financially and mentally. Abortion should be legal for both of these reasons.

Population control is also a large factor on the abortion issue. In a recent survey taken from CNN, The United States of America would be over populated by 16% if it wasn't for abortion. Abortion is a necessary tool for society and for the betterment of the lives of the American people today. If families were not able to go through with abortion then there would be more people filling for bankruptcy and more people collecting welfare which comes out of the pockets of Americans. Abortion is not only beneficial for the families lives that are saved due to relieving the stress of having to find a way to provide for a neborn, but the people that will end up paying for their mistake. Abortion should be legal to control the population and help out Americans with financial dependencies.

The other side of this current issue are those who are Pro-Life. The strongest point for the side of Pro-Life is that it is not the fetus's fault that you got pregnant so you should not be able to take an innocent potential life. Saying that its not the fault of the fetus is a weak argument.
