Over many years abortion has been a hot topic of debate. In the case of teenagers receiving abortions, it is even a hotter topic. The use of abortions in teenagers is just like another type of birth control. In 2000 there were 9,826,251 teenage girls (15-19) in the United States. From ages 15-19 there were 235,470 abortions in 2000. (http://guttmacher.com/sections/abortion.html). Although this is not 2000 it does let you get the picture of teenage abortions. The issue of abortions will probably never be settled. It has been faught over since the Egyptians ruled and it is still an issue. This proves to me that it will never be settled. Why is it, humans may be able to decide if we should kill a child before it is even born. For a baby can stand up, kick, yawn, suck its thumb, and other movements while in the mothers whomb. So wouldn't that mean that that baby is a human and abortions would be considered murder? When does a baby get its rights; before or after birth?
