23-year-old Kenlissia Jones was jailed and charged for allegedly ending her fetus’s life by ingesting illegal abortion pills. The baby was unable to survive and died 30 minutes after birth. Conspicuously, legalizing abortion worldwide has endless benefits including preventing health defects, empowering women, as well as conserving money.

When did we prioritize potential humans over the ones who have already been born and suffering? Americans prioritize their own issues, but when exterior issues arise within other countries, their value drastically alters. Is legalizing abortion the main issue or is it how Americans define a human being?
Another defect of the government’s budget is the significant pay gap between women and men, plus the lack of support from the Social Security. The government cannot expect to not sufficiently fund Social Security, raise the taxes, and deny the woman’s right to abortion.
