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.

Abbortion is wrong, if you have an abbortion you are KILLING a child that doesn't have any say. if you are the one thats going to have the abbortion you were the one that formed the child and you should take responsibility to take care of the child.

it's not murder due to the fact that it is not a human life until a certain time. that's like saying the death penalty is murder and it's not. it's execution, it's practically a law.
