Abortion an iniusti Monday's Supreme Court decision to eliminate Medicaid funded abortions is an outrage and an injustice to women, children and taxpayers. A women has a constitutional right to choose whether ot not she will terminate a pregnancy. By upholding the Hyde Admendment, the Supreme Court has intruded into the rights of financially disadvantaged women. The court his in effect, given poor women who become pregnant one legal option - to have the child. Forty percent of the abortions in the United States during 1979 were performed on young girls, 18 years old and under. In most cases teenagers are not emotionally, nor financially ready to raise a child. With the absence of a fail proof birth control device on the market pregnancy occurs even when ( precautions are taken to prevent it. , To force women old or young to j bear unwanted children, hurts the ] lives of not only of the mother but j also the children born. There are i thousands of parentless children across the country, living in or- ] phanages and being tossed back < and forth between foster homes.
