Abortion

After looking at both sides websites, I truly think that the pro-life website is more organized and extensive. One thing that really made it easy for me on the pro-life side was the medical facts page. I just keep clicking next page after I was done reading and it kept getting more and more facts. The pro-choice website was very scattered while the pro-life website was very organized and on the home page, I could figure out where I wanted to go from there. The pro-life website was also very convincing. Going through the page about how the abortion was actually done disgusted me. Pro-life seems to be winning the debate right now. Their arguments seem to be more focused and direct. One topic that the pro-life really was centered on was “is abortion really safe?” There are many claims and facts that show how abortion is not the safest procedure for women to undergo. After looking at these websites, even though I am pro-choice, the pro-life website did not alter my opinion. I think the pro-life website was stronger and so much simpler but it didn’t change my viewpoint on abortion.

Parents should 100% have to know about their daughters pregnancy and abortion. Yesterday in the article I read, I found out that there are multiple girls who had abortions without telling their parents and they had complications and died the next day. If their parents would have known, that would not have happened. Also, if you can’t tell your parents about how you want an abortion, you probably aren’t mature enough to have sex. Getting an abortion is a medical procedure. Any other medical procedure requires parents’ consent to the procedure. What makes abortion different? It is a medical procedure and can be very dangerous if complications occur.

Yes, the father should also have to be notified of the woman’s abortion. I don’t really think that he can say no to the abortion because he is not the one actually having the baby. However, he is the father of the baby and without him, there would be no baby. Because of that, the father should have as much power in the decision as the mother.

After looking at Illinois abortion law, I agree with most of what is said. I really agree with the young women statement where girls under 18 need consent from their parents. Also, I agree with the spousal consent where the husband needs have consent for the abortion. One thing that I don’t agree with is the insurance issue for some women getting an abortion. The insurance doesn’t cover all women which I think is wrong. Illinois is very against abortion and they are trying to do whatever it takes to get rid of it. Another thing that I like is the Low-Income Women’s access to abortion. I think that is great for women who can’t afford one but might still want an abortion.
