Change The Law Of Abortion Each year, one million American teenagers are pregnant and eighty-five percent of these pregnancies are unintended. One and a half million each year are ended by abortion. Now it is time for the government to pass a law to make abortion illegal across the nation because it is a bad influence for the young people, innocent babies are being killed, and it will affect teenagers' lives when they get older.In 1973, the United States Supreme Court made a decision that women have a constitutional right to decide whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. Abortion became legal across the nation. This law has been in the United States for twenty-seven years now. It is time to change this law and make abortion illegal across the nation.

There have been forty million abortions since 1973, and 4,000 unborn babies are killed each day. Is this what should happen to unborn babies? Babies are the most precious things in the world. Babies are the future; mothers should not kill their own babies. Most teenagers who have had abortions now regret it very much; they wish that they could take back for what they have done. It is very hard to see a baby killed by his or her own mother. Some teens have to have abortion because their parents want them to, for example, Sunshine who was only 16 when she had an abortion. Her mom found out that she was pregnant and told her to have an abortion. She was forced to have one because it would ruin her life and embarrass her family."But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child, murdered by the mother herself." Mother Theresa addressing at the National Prayer Breakfast. As a matter of fact, teens that had an abortion will affect their lives in the future. For example, Amanda was forced to have an abortion by her parents. Every night when Amanda goes to sleep she has awful nightmares and she wake up screaming. She also has flashbacks all the time. And sometimes she dream of what the baby could have been like and think of the fun things she and her baby could have been able to do together. It is very hard for them to grow up and realize that they killed their own child. Likely, teens might have a disease or cancer if they had abortion. If a girl is not mature enough to decide not to have a child, how could she possibly be mature enough to raise one? If a girl is considered old enough to be a parent, she must be at least old enough to decide whether to be one.Between 1992 and 1996, the number of abortions in the United States fell from 1,529,000 to 1,366,000. Now is the time for the US Government to make a commitment to make abortion illegal because of the bad influence on teens, innocent unborn babies are being killed, and it will affect teenagers' lives when they get older. In the real world, there is something better than abortion. Birth control is much safer than abortion.
