This is sick, legalize abortion for what????? If there’s a genuine reason for that, that’s when it’s life threatening, if not it’s going to encourage girls to start wayward living.
Whether they legalize it or not, people do it daily. Some things are inevitable rain, tax and abortion. Not that I am in support but there are things one can’t stop from happening.
