Every woman should have the right to choose whether to have an abortion.

Such support includes reaching out to young people and giving them the tools to make informed decisions so that abortion does not have to be a choice and abortions would be rare. Adoptions need to be easier for people to pursue. The pro-life and pro-choice factions should come together and reach some sort of common ground.
