Abortion Rights

I found my Students' Right topic to be a bit difficult in findings. The input I was receiving from others was almost exactly what any scholarly literature said. I am going to change my topic to Abortion Rights. Does this right stretch to the doctor, the mother, or the government? I feel the choice of an abortion should be given in certain cases. If the mother will die or be paralyzed from having the baby I feel the option for abortion is necessary. This option would be given by the doctor and the choice would be made by the mother. In the case of a rape, the mother should have the option for an abortion. The only problem with the rape, is there must be substantial evidence that a rape had indeed occurred. I especially feel abortion should be an option for the mother if there was a rape and the mother is barely a teenager. I feel the government should not have a say in who can or who can not have an abortion. I don't feel abortion is the only option but in certain severe cases it should be.
