A Woman's Body Should Be a Woman's Choice.
One of the biggest responsibilities a person faces in their life is raising a baby. At one point in time, two people did not think of having a baby until they were married. However, in society today an unmarried woman being pregnant is very common. Although she cannot go back in time and make herself not pregnant, there is a solution: abortion. Some argue that that by making abortion legal would make pre-marital and/or unprotected sex more appealing because the responsibilities of having a baby would be abolished by having the opportunity to abort a pregnancy. But is it not justified to leave the choice of having the baby be made by the woman who would carry the baby for nine months? More importantly, why should she have to have such a responsibility due to certain circumstances that she has no control over, such as what if she was unable to support the baby, if she was raped and if the baby would be born unhealthy with a life threatening disease.
The responsibility of having a baby is not as glamorous as it seems to be on the television or on movies; it is a very serious role a woman has in her life and she should be mature enough to handle it. If a teenager becomes pregnant, she is too young to be worrying about raising a child. She should be focusing on her education and she herself needs to grow up. She would not have the experiences in life that she .
needs to be considered mature enough to be a mother; the experiences in areas such as going to college, having a job, relationships, and experiences with family, friends and .
strangers. She should experience these things before she is ready to be a full-time mom. Secondly, a mother should be emotionally stable to raise a baby. It would not be in the best interest of the baby to have a mother who has had too many bad experiences in her life that have left her mentally unstable. She would need to sort out her life and get rid of the bad habits she may have because of the bad experiences she has had, such as drinking and drugs.
