Killing Innocent Lives Kasey Gonzalez is a senior in high school at [|Eldorado High School], who participates in pals and child development class.

In my opinion, it is women’s fault for going out, "having unprotected sex", and going to the clinic to get an abortion. I know many girls who goes out to the parties, who end up getting pregnant and getting an abortion. It’s selfish. There are some girls, who try to get pregnant on purpose, and as soon as their boyfriend says they don’t want anything to do with them or the "baby," the girl gets an abortion. I believe it is wrong for women to get abortions; their mother had them; imagine if their mother would’ve aborted them. Why kill an innocent baby for your own mistakes? Women and men should be responsible and use protection to prevent getting pregnant; it’s an easy solution.

Many teens today are having unprotected sex and getting pregnant. According to //Women’s Issues,// “ Pregnancy that occurs in the wrong place at the wrong time can have a lifelong impact on a woman's ability to raise a family and earn a living. Teens who are pregnant are less likely to graduate from high school or college.” They believe having an abortion would be the solution to being able to graduate high school and living a better life, without having a baby. I disagree with this statement. I know a few women who have had a baby while they were in high school; some graduated early and some completed the whole year. My best friend had a baby at the age of 16. Now, she is running track and playing softball. After school and practices, she goes home to be with her son. In the article //Teen Breaks,// teenage girls talked about why they had abortions. Some were “made to have an abortion because of their parents,” others thought “ we are just kids ourselves and we could not take care of a child.” Teenage girls don’t have to get an abortion to fix their “problem;” an adoption is a better way to solve it.

A baby is hard to take care of. Spending all your time and money is hard for someone to do. Women should consider adoption as their first option if they do not want the baby; not abortion. Abortion is killing an innocent living child, who did nothing wrong. The choices people make is not the babies fault. Be smart, be safe, and use protection.
