I read a book titled, “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.” It is about a boy in striped pajamas, Shmuel, who is an eight-year-old Jewish child in a concentration camp during the Holocaust.

The United States did not have set laws for abortion until the 1800’s, but they did follow the guidelines for abortion in England. England allowed abortions as long as quickening had not yet occurred, which means the mother had not yet felt movement from the fetus inside of her.

Between the 1960’s and 1970’s, one-third of the states…
