Abortion and Adolescents Throughout the semester, I have been searching for information regarding abortion. Many people are completely against abortion, while others believe that there is nothing wrong with it. Some say that even if the fetus is one week old or 45 weeks old, it is still considered murder. Where to draw a line? It is obvious that there will never be a right or wrong answer. Every woman should have the right to do what she wants. Whether it was an abortion or not. Some say even contraception is bad. Martin Luther called contraception homicide. One man said that anyone who used contraceptives would lose their soul. This concerns abortion, because if a couple only had sex to begin life, then there would be less disease, very few abortions, and few adoptions. Throughout the semester, I researched some of the many issues related to abortion. There are a few questions from the "A" type category that I will try to answer based on what I have read throughout the semester. Many people often wonder what kind of restrictions or should I say rules exist for different states. In Pennsylvania, there is a requirement for teenage girls to show consent from a parent or judge, and another that imposes a 24-hour waiting period for a woman after hearing a presentation from her doctor about the alternatives to abortion. There is also a provision that would require women to inform their husbands if they wish to have an abortion. Since states cannot completely ban abortion, they attempt to impose restrictions like those in Pennsylvania. In most states, it will be decided whether or not teenagers have the right to have an abortion without involving their parents in the decision. Some say that if this comes to fruition, teens could then seek illegal abortions in their own state or even consider aborting themselves. States are also considering father consent and considering banning the use of federal funds for abortions, which could limit teens' options. Many pregnant teens avoid having an abortion, but then turn to adoption. It is estimated that around 3% of pregnant teenagers will place their baby up for adoption. Some authors argue that increasing the difficulty of abortion will have an effect on adoptions. They argue that pregnant teens will instead turn to adoption, but again the reason the adoption rate is so low is due to the legalization of abortion in the United States..
