Abortion

Before I even read an article on either website, my first impression is that the National Right to Life website looks like a kid made it, where the NARAL pro choice America looks way more professionally made. On the pro choice America website, they would raise a problem and then have a their own solution to each problem. For example, one problem pro choice supporters had was that pro life supporters were spreading lies to people. Saying that abortions cause breast cancer. The websites solution? Don't let them spread lies, if you hear something bad about abortion "spread the facts". Although I understand what the website wants to do, I dont think their solutions to some of these problems will help in real life. I think it all boils down to what people believe. If they believe in an abortion then they will get one, if they have a strong opinion against abortion they simply wont get one. I don't think any of these websites will make a huge difference in a decision. Especially because I dont think the pro-life website is very user friendly. I had a much easier time looking through pro-choice website. To me the pro-life website was basically just dont get an abortion its bad for you, where the pro-choice website did give some good facts.
I believe that a parent should have the right to know if their minor is having an abortion. Just like a parent has to consent on every other thing in the kids life, I do not think this should be any different. With that, I do think that having a second opinion on the matter, especially a parents, there might be different decisions made. Once the daughter is over 18, I do not think they will need any consent considering they are an adult. As far as having the father of the baby's consent, I do not think that is necessary. One reason is because if a girl is going to get an abortion without their baby's father, most likely the other parent is out of the picture. Basically if the father is around, I think he will be apart of the decision. This is a more internal issue based on the what is going on in ones specific life. This should be delt with privatley, considering each family is in a different situation.
As I was looking at the Illinois laws on abortion, the NARAL pro-choice life website stated a lot of anti choice laws and told why they were unlawful, but they did not  even give a little detail and why they could be ok. This shows a lot of bias that the website is only trying to portray one thing, and not just give out the details on abortion in Illinois.
