"Undocumented Teenager Obtains Abortion After Court Victory"

For around a month now, an undocumented pregnant teen has been in a battle with the courts over her choice to abort the child. Adding on to the drama, she is an undocumented teen so matters were further complicated, stating "she came to America to be a nurse, not a parent". On Tuesday morning, she won her battle with the courts and promptly had an abortion the next morning. Personally, while I don't like the idea of ending a human life, I think at the end of the day, it should be the woman's choice on what do about her pregnancy. It's her body and she shouldn't be forced to do something she doesn't want to do. So while I dislike the inherent notion of an abortion, ultimately the decision should be up to the mother.

  1. I appreciate your opinion. Even though you disagree I admire the way you put it and the fact that you think the choice should be the mother's. I also agree on this matter-our government is trying to limit birth control so when some of us do end up pregnant there's not really many options.
