Abortion is unethical and immoral. These are the thoughts of many Americans in our society. If a woman gets pregnant than she should have to deal with her "problem." However there are many circumstances that arise that could make that a difficult and sometimes impossible decision. Instead of every woman that becomes pregnant having no say in whether they have their child, there should be an age limit set. The legal age of a woman having an abortion should be set at 18. It should be illegal for anyone at the age of 18 or over to have an abortion. I believe, for many reasons, it should be the legal right of a woman under the age of 18, a minor, to have an abortion. Minor's account for fewer than one in 10 abortions performed (PPFA , 1999). Furthermore, it should be her right to do so without parental consent.
