Abortion is defined as the destruction or termination of a fetus while still in the mother's womb. However, abortion is so much more then just the definition. The controversy surrounding it and the consequences which come with preforming such an act are far beyond anything which could ever be defined.

The Pro-Life view which takes the view of abortion being morally, ethically and religiously wrong. Pro-Choice on the other hand believes that abortion should be the choice of the individual faced with the situation based upon their own values and beliefs. These two opposing sides are constantly debating the issues of abortion. They argue over when the life of a person actually begins and who has the right to choose to end an individual's existence.

The law leaves having an abortion in the hand of women who may or may not choose if faced with the situation to have an abortion. The woman or teenage girl does not even have to have consent from the father of the child or their parents if over the age of fourteen.
