Being pregnant is similar to a superhero, a really tired, weak superhero who wants to eat all the time and isn’t allowed to lift heavy objects. Well if you haven’t guessed it, I got pregnant at the age of sixteen. No sixteen-year-old girl thinks they will get pregnant, let alone want to get pregnant at that age. This is how my story went. I come from a home that is very religious and strict, we went to church every Sunday morning and evening and on Wednesday nights. It was during the summer after

to use this source for my research paper because one of my research questions pertained to finding ways to outlaw abortion and what states already had. In my research paper I am planning on trying to persuade my readers to view abortion as immoral.
