I
am an American Too.
I am endowed by
my Creator
with the unalienable right to life.
Just like you, and every other American.
You know who I am.
Now that you can see my face,
will you use your voice?
Please tell America,
I am an American, too.
"To
those of you who think abortion should be legal, when exactly does a fetus
become a child? Even after just forty days, brain waves are detected. After 10
weeks, a fetus has fully formed feet. Where's the line between life and a lump
of tissue?"
-- Jessica, 16, from Notre Dame Academy in Park
Hills, Kentucky
"I
think that a woman's body is her temple. What she chooses to do with her body is
up to her. If she is not ready for a child, she should not go through birth and
adoption. Why ruin your own life and your child's life? The baby hasn't
experienced life, so no loss would come to it."
--
Carley, 14, from River View High School in Warsaw, Ohio
"I don't think abortion should be
illegal; however, I would consider special circumstances if it posed a health
risk. I feel bad for victims of rape and incest. They must remember, however,
that like them, the child is also a victim. For
those with 'accidents,' learn some responsibility."
-- Staci, 18, from Cairo High School in Cairo, Georgia
