Abortion

             Abortion; for some reason being a teenager in the 90's and even more so in 2004, the subject comes up more than most like to believe. It is a touchy subject with the older generation and is coming into play more as young people speak out.

Abortion should be legal because people may have circumstances or accidents where they would need one, because there is a growing abundance of teen mothers in our society, and because not everyone believes in the religion that preaches anti-abortion.

             Accidents can happen to anyone, in any way, shape or form. Maybe she forgot to take her birth control pill, she was drunk and didn't realize wha...
