Abortion

     When a woman is deciding to get an abortion, there are a lot of things on her mind.  How will the procedure go? Did I make the right decision in getting an abortion? How will this decision effect my life and my family's life? It can be a very stressful time for a woman and more burdens could compromise her decisions with the possibility of being hurt emotionally and physically.  If any burden directly threatens the well-being of the patient it should be done away with.  More restrictions and burdens would only hurt the woman and possibly the baby. 
      Abortion services should not be covered under all health care plans.  If it is proven that a woman is raped, then I think health care should cover it.  However, when a women knowingly has sex without protection and gets pregnant, it is her fault and the American tax-payer should not have to cover for her mistake.  There are over one millions abortions in the America each year.  Abortions are at minimum $350.  That means that the massive deficit America is already in would incraese by a minimum of $350 million each year.  If health care plans cover all abortions, what message are we sending?  It is okay to get pregnany and have your health care bail you out every time?  I don't think so.
     I think abortion should be legal in some circumstances.  If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant, she should have the option to obtain an abortion.  However, in all other cases, abortion should be illegal.  No matter how you look at it, abortion is taking a human life.  People like to make the excuse that the child won't have a good life because of money.  Who are we to judge that? There are Foster Homes open for anyone who can't fully support their child and if not plenty of success stories have begun with a poor child who fought adversity and succeeded.  We should give the child a chance to make something of his life, rather than make the decision for him.
