This word has become a controversial topic in political, religious and medical world since the 19th century and until now, it’s still a question in each and everyone’s heart. (“Feminist”) On January 1973, abortion has been brought out in the case of Roe v. Wade, which later ruled that the state law that banned abortion is unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. (“britannica”). Because of this case from 1973 through 2005, millions of legal abortions were performed
The Author of the article claims that euthanasia is inherently wrong and can lead to drastic problems in our society with various support claims.

Are you pro-life or pro-choice? Do you believe that terminating pregnancy early is a good choice, or is it better to put up the baby for adoption? Should not every child be giving the opportunity to live and succeed? When is abortion a good thing and why? In America it always seems we are choosing the “easy wrong” vs. the “hard right.” How often do we think of the unborn child's life, and what it would take to give it an opportunity to live?

Did women in the 1920’s have control of fertility? Were women able to have birth control and plan for a family?

The way the traditional married couple family--the breadwinner-husband and homemaker-wife--evolved over time can be analyzed through both the neoclassical and the bargaining model of the family.

“Any American born after 1973 is a survivor of legalized abortion” (“Abortion”). This quote struck me because of its frankness. After it was legalized, many women had an option to abort their pregnancy against the Catholic Church’s wishes. Any child that was born after that year could have been aborted. This shows that many of the people that are living today could have been killed simply because the mother did not want them and they were considered to not be living in the womb. Being here today
It seems like there have been more teen pregnancies now than ever before. Why is that?
