Summary: 202 Legal Induced Abortion

Decent Essays
We believe that women should be able to have a choice on what they want their lives to be, although they might be taking a life, it would be better than making a life and not being able to take care of the child. In 2012, 699,202 legal induced abortions were reported to the CDC from 49 reporting areas. The CDC is a federal agency under the department of health and human services. There are 1.21 million abortions in America each year. There were 13.2 million abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44. All unintended pregnancies 4 in 10 are aborted. Abortions happen for multiple reasons and that’s no one's business but the woman who is getting the abortion. We need to get people to understand our main focus is to let women have a choice.

    Freedom was once an ideology appreciated in every American household; remembering the true value of being free and the rights they were entitled to since the day they were born into the United States.
