Who has the right to raid away an innocent life? I believe the answer should be common sense to all humanity.

Aren't consequences the first thing that comes to a teenager's mind when pregnant? The nightmares of consequences are flooding the teenagers' thoughts at that moment. They ask themselves questions such as What am I going to do when my father finds out?' or What if my parents kick me out of the house?'. Perhaps the teenager did it out of anger. For instance, the man she had sex with left her. With countless of abysmal feeling rushing into the teenager's body the first resolve, no doubt, is going to be abortion.

Teenagers who have had abortion say things such as "I did it because I didn't want my child born without a father." Or "I was saving my child's life from hell." On the contrary, rarely did any admit that they did it because they were too much of a coward to face the consequences.
