Abortion Should Not Be an Option
Melissa Drexter, the girl who killed her baby at her prom, received 15 years in Prison. Amy Grossberg, who along with her boy-friend, killed their baby in a motel room, received 2-1/2 years. Both of them were sentenced because they killed their newborn baby, just minutes after they delivered.

46,000,000 babies are killed worldwide each year by abortion. 1.4 million in the U.S alone due to abortions. That’s nearly 4000 a day.

The mother just simply decides that she doesn't want the baby. Has this become a form of birth control? Partial birth needs become a federal crime.
A reason why women should not have an abortion is related to basic human values. Women need to think about their unborn babies who are not
