Abortion

On the organization's, National Right to Life website they show the baby on an ultrasound growing from month to month. I do not believe they should have this on their website. It would just guilt a woman into not having an abortion. A woman is already going through a lot by having to make this decision but to show this is just guilting them even more. They also talk about the complications they can happen from having an abortion but they refuse to talk about the fact that most woman who undergo an abortion have no complication whatsoever. The pro-choice website lays out everything very well. They do not hide anything about having an abortion and it gives a woman places where they can go to talk or a hotline to call to find a doctor or clinic where they can have an abortion. As a 17 year old, I believe parents do not have the right to know if their child is having an abortion. They do not have the right to consent to it. Now that their child has had sex and is now pregnant they are now an adult and can make their own decisions. If they made the decision not to use contraceptives while having sex, then they can make the decision on whether or not to have an a abortion. If they were adult enough to have sex, then they are adult enough to make their own decisions.
I believe that the father of the child is allowed to have an opinion but overall it is the womans decision because it is her body and she gets to decide what she wants to do with it. I would hope that a woman would take her husband or boyfriend's opinion into account when making that kind of decision but in the end, it is her decision and if she does not want to hear his opinion, she does not have to.
I agree with Illinois's law saying that a woman should be able to make her own decision on having an abortion. Something I disagree with is some Insurance companies including medicad will not pay for a woman to have an abortion. Why should having an abortion be any different from having an appendectamy? It is needed by the person either way.
