Question: What level of government or agency is responsible for dealing with teen abortion?

Answer: The state legislature makes laws regarding abortion, including teen abortion. The members of the state legislature are elected. People who are unhappy with the abortion laws can challenge them in state and federal courts. A person who is considering an abortion can consult a doctor, parent, relative, counselor or another trusted adult, but does not need to consult the government.

Abortion is morally unfair to the unborn child(fetus). The way I see it for a raped victom it should be a choice because they had no say so in the act of having unproteted sex. However other should not be gieven a choice, they laid down and enjoyed the unprotected sex so they should face the consequences of having and raising a beautiful child. It makes no sense so kill an un-born child because of your very own stupidy and careless thinking :*(

I think abortion should be legal.Some people are not ready for a child what if the person was raped?would people honestly want a child to be born into a family that does not want it and be forced to live a horrible life?

Abortion should be made illegal. It is first degree muder. (that is intently doing the murder). It is a baby for gosh sakes. A human being. And it does not get a say in its own murder. I do not see where there is a difference between abortion and murder.

Abortions shoul be 100% Illegal except to rape victims only. I say that because they had no other choice but to have sex with that person. All men should make sure they strap up,no matter if there girl say she is on birth control.
