As you grow up, so does your views. That is what happened to me. After seeing tons of March for Life tweets, pictures, and stories, I decided to sit down and think about the way I view abortion.
As a 17 year old teenager, it is easy to get caught up and be easily influenced. I argued with my family, my friends, people I have never spoken to on Twitter on the topic of abortion. I would say things like, "The government can not control a woman's body." Things of that nature. I believed that Planned Parenthood was the greatest thing ever for teenage girls. I would argue that, "Out of all the services Planned Parenthood offers, only 3% are abortions!" I was a complete idiot.
After reading some of the various stories related to March for Life, I was confused on what I truly believed in. After thinking, it is my belief abortion should be outlawed unless the case of rape or the mother's health is in danger. I began to think, "How did I not see the facts so clear early before this point?" The only difference between fetuses, babies, and adults is their stage of development. I am here to say I was wrong. Abortion is wrong and should be outlawed.
Some babies die by chance, none should die by choice
