Abortion is a huge argumental discussion and talked about endlessly across the US. It, is one crucial point to war on women. The demoralising practice of harming an innocent unborn child, which could be easily avoided.
Every year, about fifty percent of all pregnancies are unintended. Almost half of these unplanned pregnancies, 1.3 million a year, are ended by abortion. That means that one in every four women has ended a child’s life. This is where I think the war on women should draw a line. Taking the lives of the innocent is one of the cruelest things anyone could do. Whether it be a mistake or not. You can always have a better solution. I personally believe that adoption is the smartest way to go.
Abortion laws have caused court cases in many states. While states like Idaho, Iowa and Utah have so many restrictions it might as well be illegal, others such as New York, California, and Florida find nothing wrong with having it legalized.

In 2011 Alabama Idaho Indiana Kansas and Oklahoma followed suit, and in 2012 Arizona Georgia and Louisiana passed curves of their own.

And, if you were raped or can not take care of a baby then why not just put it up for adoption. Adoption is entitling the young unborn child to a future, and a family that have a passion and stability to raise a child. This is where people tend to get ignorant never mind the baby that is developing inside of them, it’s all about what they wish to do and how they feel about the situation. To me you could make a lot of this not happen if you did what you are supposed to be doing and thought about your actions before it’s too late.

Contraception, can be conversed on both sides of the abortion spectrum, could be used before having sex. This could dramatically reduce the amount of unplanned pregnancies throughout the US. Sadly, the chance of getting pregnant unexpectedly goes up as you go further down the poverty chain. As it stands 83% Black, 90% Asian, 91% Hispanic, and 91% White women who are at risk of unintended pregnancy currently use a contraceptive
