My mother's friend is pregnant with a total of five children. Of these five, only four are still here. At the time her family was having financial problems and she had just received the news of her fourth pregnancy. Her friend had to make one of the most difficult decisions of her life. Either keep the baby and her entire family would be left homeless, or go to a clinic and have an abortion. Abortion should be a legal and safe option for all pregnant women when deciding the future of their unborn child. In 2011, Jennie McCormack was arrested for taking a pill called RU-486, “the abortion pill” (Hass). RU-486 is a drug approved only by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and can be used by women "up to the 49th day after the last menstrual period." The woman takes two pills to “cause the death of the fetus” (Considering Abortion). McCormack, having a total of three children, didn't have the money for a $500 trip to the nearest clinic, two and a half hours away. Thinking of his children, McCormack called his sister and asked her to buy the pill online for $200. Jennie thought she was twelve weeks along, but after taking the drugs mifepristone and misoprostol, the drugs RU-486, she was found to be between eighteen and twenty-one weeks along. When the fetus came out of her, she was terrified and called her friend, who then called her sister. The sister reported Jennie to the police. Idaho, where Jennie lives, has a 1927 law that mandates a five-year prison sentence for a woman who induces an abortion. Jennie's case was taken to court and was later dismissed due to lack of evidence. During the second time this case was brought to court, neither the pro-choice nor the pro-life sides of abortion really wanted to do anything with this what a... middle of paper... one woman world.Works CitedAnonymous .
