The Pros And Cons Of Abortion

Finally, the most crucial reason to why parental consent laws for abortion should be legal is the potential medical dangerous that can occur before and after an abortion (Earll). Parents that are aware of their children desire to have an abortion and support their children’s decisions can provide “important medical history to a physician” (Christian Med.). “A minor may not be fully conscious of a family history that makes surgical or medical abortion

Most minors voluntarily involve their parents in abortion cases and if they don’t involve their parents, it's usually because they wouldn't be cooperative; “Since "privacy" rights have been found to be fundamental and protected by the due process clause, it is plausible that these rights are also fundamental for purposes of equal protection clause analysis” (Wand). The Court has stated that minors are protected by the right to privacy, so minors should have the right as to whether or not to terminate her own pregnancy. In addition, government intrusion does not make family relations stronger and could just sway a woman’s decision. The Court supported this in 1976 during the case Planned Parenthood v. Danforth. In this case, Missouri legislators passed a law requiring abortion doctors to obtain a written statement of the mother’s consent that stated that “the consent was freely given and not the result of coercion” (“Planned Parenthood v. Danforth”). The Court upheld the written consent of women, however, it concluded that spousal and parental consent requirements amounted to an unconstitutional "veto power" over a decision which should be left to the "medical judgment of the pregnant woman's attending physician" according to Roe (“Planned Parenthood v. Danforth”).

In conclusion by getting an abortion it would be killing a living fetus. So it should be illegal. But by doing so girls will find a dangerous alternative way to get an abortion. Also both side will cause girls to have health problems.So what is your thoughts better be something

(8) Those who believe that hypothesis believe that girls under the age of 18 should gather parental consent, or inform their parents before proceeding with an abortion. Of course, in some states that require parental consent, a pregnant girl can receive a ‘judicial bypass’ to avoid having to gather a parent or a guardian's consent first. (7) The consequences of a pregnancy on young girls can last a lifetime, literally. It decreases their chances of continuing their education and increases their chances of poverty and domestic abuse. Not to mention the physical effects of becoming pregnant before your body has finished developing, chances of pregnancy and childbirth complications, and the chances of death increase in underdeveloped people.

Minors and young women are the one who choose abortions most often. Many have lifelong regrets after an abortion..

Teens should be able to get an abortion without parental consent because balancing school and taking care of a baby can be very challenging. According to the article”Tell parents of abortions”, the author states "Schools that support teenage girls through abortion only provide support during school hours. Who is supporting the girls after school?” (Hill). This evidence proves that not only can it be challenging to go to school and taking care of a child but the support systems for teen parents are

I believe that if you are a minor you should have the choice to get an abortion. I believe this because when you are a minor and are pregnant you should have a choice to get one because you still have school and things like that. Also you could have friends to hangout with but your gonna have a baby. If you have a baby how will you afford things for it. Also if you have it and you go to school what are you going to do with your baby. Also you’re gonna have to get a job so you can buy your baby stuff. If you have a baby you most likely will have no freetime. Also how would you take the baby places. I just think that its a bad idea.

24 percent of women having abortions are unmarried teenagers. Pregnancy can be a scary and extremely stressful time in a women?s life. To force a woman who is not ready for a child to go through with the birth is not the answer. Stress is not good for the fetus at all, and could lead to complications in the pregnancy, or even a miscarriage. People also seem to forget about a women?s mental health in these situations. A woman could be haunted for her lifetime of giving birth to an unborn child.

Through every choice in life, there is a decision that must follow. Abortion is a woman’s individual choice; therefore, must be a legal part in todays society. Individual rights have an outstanding role in the controversial topic, on whether abortion should become legal in the United States . The individual rights for abortion show rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. As well, women should be able to have the choice to choose to have an abortion for several important reasons. The right to make these decisions should lie in the hands of the “mother” to make decisions concerning their own to make decisions concerning their own bodies. In addition, women should be given the choice to have an abortion if they are too young

Abortion should be legal because it causes lots of debates. If a young teen makes a mistake they should be able to undo this mistake and live their life how they want to live it. In the text it says “How many times have we listened to radio or tv debates and got frustrated with the people with opposite point of view”. After their is a debate for this people will probably start yelling

The second article “Parental Consent Laws are Unnecessary” by Diana Philip, takes an almost completely opposite standpoint. Philip believes that “laws requiring parental involvement in a minor's decision to have an abortion are detrimental to the welfare of those young women (Philip). Parents may be looking for a way to reprimand their daughter’s actions instead of “supporting or protecting them” (Philip). “Some parents physically abused, abandoned, or disowned their daughters when they found out they were pregnant” (Philip). The decision to keep or eliminate the fetus should be left to the minor. By insisting that a minor must/must not have the procedure done, young women are actually forced to have the same view on abortion as their

Young teens that are pregnat are usally scared to talk to their parents about it.The topic I have picked is a very controversial topic,it has two very good arguments on both sides of this topic.My topic is on parent consent for teens abortions.In this paper I will go into eachside and let you decide which side you support.Now lets start with the pros of having no parent

How can a child make the decision for the life of another child by themselves? In this paper I will outline the mental, physical, and safety issues of minors (age 18 and under) having an abortion and why it is so important that they need to get parental consent before making this life long decision.

In fact, most teenagers do turn to their parents for guidance. But the government cannot mandate healthy family communication where it does not already exist. Laws that restrict minor’s access to abortion by mandating parental involvement actually harm teens and families they mean to protect, by increasing illegal and self-induced abortions, family violence, suicide, later abortions, and the teenage birthrate. The real agenda behind laws enabling parents to veto their daughter’s abortion decisions by requiring parental consent or notification is to deprive your women access to abortion. Opponents of choice are seeking to use the issue of parental consent to paint the pro-choice position as extremist and anti-family. The true pro-family position is the pro-choice position.

Whether a young girl is 16 or 21 they should know what they are doing and getting themselves into the minute they get pregnant. Furthermore, abortions will continue to happen with or without parental consent, young girls deserve to do what they desire with their body. In the end whether someone convinces a young teenager to not get an abortion or to go through with it, they will not help or support them in anyway. Among the same lines, having an abortion can be the best way to go in many occasions. Although many people disagree with abortions they don’t realize the consequences that having an unwanted baby may bring.
