Abortion

On April 12th 2012, Shayira Farmer came in to talk to 9th  graders about Abortion. She showed them a poster board and a power point on how Abortion kills life and how that there are other options. There are 1.37  million abortions per year and about 3,700 abortions a day. She said that some reasons that women have abortions is that they are too young or they are just not ready for the responsibility. Also that some fathers aren't always there and women don't want to be a single mother. 52% of all abortions happen to women under the age of 25. She made the presentation for her 12th grade final project to graduate. Farmer said she chose that type to keep teenagers away from pregnancy and abortion and that she chose this because millions of women have abortion and it hurts them physically and mentally. Farmer said "There are other options like adoption, birth control and condoms. There are other options why not try it?

Farmer said she wants to attend Virginia State college. When students asked if she had got pregnant now, would she get an abortion and surprisingly she said yes. She stated that she is too young and she is not ready for a baby.

I think that abortions are absurd. Why would you want to take someones life? I believe that the life starts at the fetus. You can always have the baby but give it someone who can not have a baby. If you are old enough to have sex you are old enough to deal with the consequences.
