Abortion: Teen Pregnancy

           While many teenage girls who have babies do tend to leave school, receive bad parental care, rely on public assistance, develop health problems, or get a divorce; this does not happen to every teenage girl who gets pregnant. Some girls have families who support them and help them out. Some are also able to continue going to school and do not develop health problems. Also, some are able to keep a relationship with their child’s father.  Even when a teenage girl does have problems or changes in her life because of her pregnancy that does not mean that she should be aloud to get an abortion. Part of being a mother involves having to change parts of your life. The reason so many teenage girls have problems is because they are probably not mature enough to have a baby yet. They don’t want to give up their social lives or other freedoms to care for their baby, so many of them just get an abortion. While it may seem like just a simple thing, it is not. It is not the baby’s fault that its mother was careless. By having their baby aborted they are taking away a human life, not just a blob of tissue. The girl needs to accept the consequences of her actions and realize that there is in fact a small human growing inside of them, not just a blob of tissue.

            A lot of girls would just say that it does not matter if they dispose of the fetus because it’s not like they are killing a living human being. This is not true. The fetus is a living human being; it is developing and growing, just like a young child that has already left its mother’s womb. Also, just removing the child from the womb does not magically turn it into a human.

            Many teenage girls who do have abortion mainly do it out of their own personal comfort. They do not want o accept responsibility, and just abort their child. It would not make sense (at least in our society) for a parent to have their toddler killed just because they are tired of raising it. A fetus I still a human being, so killing it is like killing a toddler. Just because a teenage girl has gotten pregnant, and this pregnancy will cause her to make some changes in her life, does not make it okay for her to take a human life. A human life is a precious thing, and just as we would not take a life of a two year old who is growing both mentally and physically, so is a fetus in  woman’s womb.
