Shayira Farmer a Parkway West Senior presented her senior project to me and my fellow classmates. Shayira topic was on that Abortion is murder and is not the only way unplanned pregnancies can be handled. Shayira stated that about 1.2 million people die because of abortion. Also 15-44 year old had the highest abortion rate in 2000 with 2.1% and Shayira stated that in 1973 the U.S. legalized abortion. . She said her only problem with doing abortion as her senior project was that she found more opinions then facts.
I think abortion is wrong if you have other opportunities to handle the situation. Many people say that they cant keep the child because they have to go through school and a job to support the child. Abortion should not be your first idea when you find out the big news. You can always give it away for adoption or find a program that helps you plan and get ready for the baby. Even though people think abortion is murder it is still legal and its been that way since 1923.
But to lessen the rate of abortion we should try and stop people from having unprotected sex if they don't want to deal with the baby later. More options are offered to you instead of surgery to get a abortion; you can take a abortion pill nine weeks in the pregnancy or take a Plan B pill. We should have a health fair like my school did and talk to people about safe sex and hand out condoms.
