[] [] [] [] Innocent lives are being erased in our world because people punish them when the innocent lives are not at fault. 1.37 million lives are being destroyed each year in the United States. Abortion is the cause for these lost lives. The reasons for abortion vary in different situations. Birth control failure, not able to support a child, not wanting a child, result of rape, or afraid of birth defects are reasons that women choose to abort. In today's society 52% of abortions are from women under the age of 25. People in today's world pressure young women into aborting, because it says it ruins their lives. 93% of abortions are because of social reasons. Women care too much about what people will think of them if they have a baby, so they think they should destroy a baby's life because they don't want to look bad. If women didn't engage in sexual activity then they wouldn't even have a chance to get pregnant. Younger women are more likely to have an abortion. More than 80% of women who have abortions are unmarried. Unmarried women abort because they think they can't do it on their own. Adoption is always a healthy solution, but instead women like to hurt innocent babies' lives. Teenagers account for 19% of all abortions, because many teenage girls are getting pregnant and they have no positive authority that can direct them in the right way during their pregnancy. Women think that because they got pregnant their whole life will be ruined, that is definately not the case.
