According to Planned Parenthood’s website, 40% of women have had an abortion before the age of forty five. The strongest argument that Planned Parenthood enforces is a woman’s right to choose. They believe that women have the right to make the best decision for their health and well-being. They think that this decision is personal, and women know the best actions for themselves and their family. Since a woman is on her own path in life, she can decide whether to have an abortion or not. I believe that the choice revolves around the baby and not the women. Since the baby is growing after the moment of conception, he or she is living. Growth is a sign of life, so killing an innocent child is unethical.

Another argument that Planned Parenthood supports is that parents want to be the best parents they can be for the children they already have. According to the website, 60% of people who have abortions already have kids and want to focus on children they have. They believe that individuals who are not parents have babies later when they are ready. I believe that all parents should love all of their children equally. There is no difference between the love for the unborn children and their current children.

In addition, another argument defines the importance of considering many factors when thinking about having a child. Women have many different emotions and feelings about having children. According to Planned Parenthood, women have abortions because they feel that they are not ready to have a child, they want to focus on work or school, they were sexually assaulted, or they do not want to be a parent. I believe that these are valid reasons for not wanting to keep the child after he or she is born. However, I believe that adoption is the solution to these problems. If parents do not feel ready to have a baby or do not want children, then they can give the child to deserving parents who are unable to conceive.
