I agree that some people can provide for a child, however that is often not the case. Pregnancy cannot always be controlled. There are so many factors that go into the decision of whether or not to keep a child. First of all, not everyone is able to safely deliver the baby due to prior medical problems. Others are not ready to take on this responsibility. Some women need to finish their education or keep their job in order to support themselves. Some women don't have a partner to help them take care of the baby and they feel very overwhelmed. Money is a large factor in making this decision. Even with the option of putting the baby up for adoption, it costs from $5,000 to $11,000 just to deliver the baby. In other cases there must be a necessary c-section in order to protect the baby or mother which can cost up to $14,500.

Women should have the right to make decisions for their own body. Pregnancy is not always a woman’s decision, and many different factors can lead to pregnancy. 65 out of 1,000 pregnancies are unintentional. More effective ways to lower abortion rate include providing better ways to help prevent pregnancy. This includes easier access to affordable birth control. Completely outlawing abortion would not stop it. It would just lead to unsafe methods of abortion. Of all abortions, approximately 45% are done unsafely. With stronger restrictions, this percentage will only rise. It is important to consider the factors that go into the decision to have an abortion.

The average cost of giving birth to the baby can range from $5,000 to $11,000 in the United States. If complications lead to a necessary C-section, the delivery can cost up to 14,500. Some women are rape victims and mentally cannot take care of the baby that emerged from that traumatic event. Prior health issues also play a big part in the ability of a woman to have a baby. In some cases, delivering a baby can lead to death for the mother. In other cases, a woman is simply not ready to have a baby. Teen pregnancies become more common and it is important for these woman to continue their education. A teenagers body might not be able to handle the delivery. Some women lack a partner and are afraid to raise the baby with no support. All these factors must be considered before telling a woman what she can or can't do with her own body.

Gay marriage should be controlled by the states. The federal government should not be allowed to control an issue they have little information about. This is a very important subject and it cannot be represented by such a large group. Not everyone supports gay marriage so it should be decided by smaller leaders of the states who know more about the region and the population it. A decision that effects this many people should be divided into smaller groups to make sure the majority of people are happy.
