The topic I would like to talk about is abortion. Some of you may think that my views are biased as my religion is strictly against abortion, however I do not go by these statements, as I would like to do what is morally correct. Statistics I have collected will help me convey my views on abortion. Research shows that most abortions are being done on women under the age of 20.

These young women feel like they are throwing away their life’s potential early by having a child during their teenage years, and it is understandable that those women would want to live their lives properly before settling down, and abortion is what they see as their best option, however, for those women I ask, isn’t adoption a better, more humane solution? And with over 1.5 million American families wanting to adopt, there is no such thing as an unwanted child.

Adoption  is a better option where there are no costs. With abortion, the cost will range from $500-$2000, in the US, depending on how far along a woman is, in her pregnancy. When you chose to put your child up for adoption, all of the pregnancy related charges, are paid for for by the adoptive family. In both cases a young woman, would still be able to pursue earlier goals, and you will still be able to carry on with your youthful lifestyle. However abortion will end with the death of potential life, whereas adoption allows you to make an unable family happy. Wouldn’t it feel better to make people smile, than to feel guilty about the choice you made later on?
