Do you feel that women should have the right to get an abortion?

No, I don’t. I think women having the right to choose what to do with their bodies comes before they help create another little person. Of course I think exceptions can be made for cases where the baby is harming the mother, but just because a person might be dependent on another person for life, doesn’t mean they’re not a person themselves with their own right to live. Like the group presenting said, abortion can also have an adverse effect on women. They shared the fact that more women that not regret having an abortion. Abortion can also cause a host of horrific effects. These include, psychological damage, bleeding, sterilization, death, etc. Stopping abortion can also encourage more adoption in the US. I don’t think abortion is covered under the 14th amendment as an issue of privacy or due process. As Su-Chin would say, “Your baby has fingernails!”
