Abortion

Abortion is well debated on whether or not it should be legal or illegal. Some people say that it should be legal because a women has a right whether they should keep their child or not. Abortion is like killing the baby. That baby doesn't have a chance in life if someone decides to abort it. If you do not want to keep the child I believe then the women should put it up for  adoption. If you do not want a baby then you should be smart enough either to not have sex or to use protection instead of being careless about it.
Recently in Manhattan a billboard that was anti-abortion was removed because the message on it annoyed some people. This billboard shows purely a anti-abortion message and I don't think it was right that it was taken down. It is in NYC where people can express themselves freely but the removal of this was taking away someones opinion on abortion. The message to some may have been offensive but the board was put up because as of 2009 the rate of abortion in black women was 60% as said in The New York Times.

    I agree completely with your statement, if abortion is done the baby has no chance in life. What if the baby could of became the new Albert Einstein or another great person. By aborting the baby you take away that opportunity. A women not only has a right to keep the child, but also either to HAVE the child or not. There are many ways in which birth-control can be used to prevent a women from being pregnant in the first place.

    I also agree, there are many places where you can get help and advice. Abortion is not the only choice. Like you said you can give it up for adoption. Also, there are many couples who can't have kids and are always looking to adopt. If you are not really to have a child them you are not ready to be having sex or at least you should have protection.
    But, I do understand how some people can get offend because it is saying that African Americans are irresponsible and don't care about their babies. This poster is calling them dangerous. But it does get the point across and it is very catchy.

    I enjoyed reading this :)
