Why should teens be allowed to have abortions?

I don't see how they would be in a better position to be forced to have a unwanted child than an adult would be. Forced pregnancy and birth would be extremely traumatic, and the girls need to live their life as they see fit. Continuing school and have a career if they want to. We know only 3% of teen moms graduate from college by the time they are 30. Kids can make mistakes and may need a second chance.


Should a Publix associate be forced to transfer?

Publix employees are not forced to transfer. In most cases, employees are encouraged to transfer to another store according to the needs of the company. For instance, if a grocery stocker is not needed in one store and another store needs that stocker in another store, the person will be encouraged to transfer to the new store. But in no case are you forced to leave the store you hired in. On the other hand, it is to your advantage to transfer. Most transfers are made to further advance the employee's career. There are advantages to being the senior member of the team, and the ROI system does note length of time in the department.
