During my research i came to find that a very young girl that was a victim of abortion. Many young girls can be victims of abortion by the cause of being raped. Being raped can and will leave a girl scarred for life inside because it wasn’t their idea of being raped by a much older person. In the year of 2003, a 9yr old girl, who was living in Costa Rica had got raped and impregnated by an adult attacker. Her parents struggled against the state. Doctors were forcing her to bear the child, although she hasn’t gone through puberty yet. On August, a Columbian 11 yr old girl had the first legal abortion in her country after being raped by her stepfather. Her stepfather was arrested and the girl is currently in the custody of the island's family department.
According to an article in BCC, the number of abortions under 16 are increasing in the world. The government officials called for a huge value for sex education in school, and it may affect on how young girls are having sex at a early age. Young girls shouldn’t have sex until they’re older, because they will come across of pregnancy and may face abortion, which can harm them mentally. According to the chart, it shows that 9% of young girls under 18 have an abortion. It also demonstrates other ages much older. In my opinion i think if young girls have sex, they should always use a condom every time no matter what, because they may regret having sex, and may face abortion in their life.
