My father's father wanted my mother to get an abortion. fortunately for me, my mother's parents told him that they would do everything in their power to help their 16 year old daughter raise a child. Not all people are in that position or have that luxury to be in that position. Speaking as some one who almost didn't make it here, if the parent's don't have the capabilities to be good parents/ there is something wrong with the child/ full term pregnancy puts the mother at risk/ the woman is a rape or incest victim, then by all means, let her get an abortion. but i don't feel that abortion should be used as a form of general birth control. having said that, i can't get pregnant, so i really don't have any say so in a matter that i will never be in. i will NEVER be the person layed back on a medical table about to have a life taken out of me, so what i say doesn't matter.
i'm pretty sure that in the declaration of independence that it said something "the pursuit of happiness". are we telling these women that they can't have their happiness if that means they get an abortion?
