Abortion Contributes to Increased Suicide
             What is abortion? "Abortion is the act of giving premature birth; particularly, the expulsion of the human fetus prematurely, or before it is capable of sustaining life" (Webster New Collegiate Dictionary p.3).

Abortion was made legal in 1973 after U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in its decision, Roe v. Wade; and in the past twenty-five years suicides, among young girls and women, have ...
