Her Right To Choose Abortion has been a sensitive topic for years and will continue to be as long as people have different viewpoints. A woman’s body is her own property in which no one has the right to dictate what she can or cannot do with it. Woman’s Rights were worth fighting for and the fight of Woe vs. Wade although won seems to still be going on to this day.

(“Abortion is Murder for Convenience,” 2009). I cannot discredit that some women that have abortions may be vulnerable to depression because it is a very emotional decision, but for woman that are pregnant and that have children it is extremely common to have depression. According to “Depression during and after pregnancy fact sheet” (2009), depression occurs in about 13% of all pregnant woman and new moms and is extremely common. Women that are at risk of depression while pregnant are aniexty, money problems, stress, young age, drug abuse, relationship problems and mental health issues. As far as the suicide statement made by Mr. Hall, during my research all I could find in terms of the
