It is a given that a child will cry, it is also given that the child will be reluctant to leave the parent. However

but what about the innocent creatures that haven’t done anything? Why do they deserve to die? This case it’s clear that abortion takes away innocent lives of babies that could easily been saved or given away to a family who could have taken in the child or simply adopted them. Keeping abortion as an option in my opinion is the easy way out for teens and young adults. Making mistakes is a common error but it’s not a mistake when you decide to take a life away. By illegalizing abortion I feel that there
