text: should abortion be legal why or why not?   no!  the person who's life is being terminated has no voice in this matter, and that is not reasonable.  today, with birth control pills, morning after pills, condoms, etc., there is no reason for people to get pregnant.  granted, it still happens, but when you fail to use any of the precautions that are available, it is my opinion that you give up your right to terminate a life because of your own negligence.  that baby will be well received in a myriad of households who pray to god for the chance to be a parent.  those out there who decide they do not want the child, please carry it to term and give it up.  there are people who will pay you for your inconvenience, consider it!
