People should know that pregnancy comes with the responsibility of having sex and they should be accountable for their actions.With all of the opinions and controversies of this topic it is hard to tell the future of the laws surrounding it. Politicians and civilians are on both sides of the debate and whether it stays legal or becomes illegal it will always be a controversy.
