A fetus is a direct dependent product of the mother who is to have complete control over their body in a society that promotes liberty. While it is not ideal that a would-be child ceases to exist, it is far more important to enshrine and protect the right of the individual to control the processes over their own body. Since the fetus is not viable until the last trimester, and only 1% of abortions happen at that point, it is evident that abortion, at large, occurs when the fetus is nothing more than a set of cells dependent entirely on the mother to survive. Due to the dependency on the body of the mother and their right to control their own body, abortion rights must be protected.

My stance on abortion is pro life. Not only because it falls with my religious beliefs but also because I think if it has a heartbeat it deserves to breathe. Not only that, you made the choice to create life, so make the choice to follow through and carry it. No matter the age, physical appearance, or anything else. Your body can create and carry life, and that’s wonderful, so follow through with it.

Abortion should be medically allowed. If the pregnancy is harming the mother, she should be allowed to get the abortion. However, if it is simply to get rid of the child, another way should be found to deal with the pregnancy instead of killing the child.

You say it right in the argument, "it is not ideal that a would-be child ceases to exist". If it is not ideal that a child ceases to exist, then why do you support it? You also say that only 1% of abortions happen when fetus's are viable. That means that 1% of perfectly viable children are being slaughtered. How can it be moral to kill a child? That child has so much potential. We cannot just throw a child away because the mother made a mistake. We need to the best of our ability support the mother and help her to raise the child in a good environment. If our country is able to offer facilities to kill children, we should be able to offer facilities to help raise children. Taking a life is a serious crime. An abortion is taking a life.

I believe abortion should be illegal at every point during the pregnancy. I believe life begins at conception and anyone who has an abortion should be put behind bars. People who intentionally kill their kids because of any reason don't get to just walk free, they're put in jail. The same concept should be in place for abortions. That baby might not be able to survive on its own but neither can a six month old baby. They can't feed themselves, change themselves etc. I also believe that if you're making the decision to have sex, you should take the responsibility that comes… Read more

Human life begins at fertilization. If a woman gets pregnant and does not want the child, she should put the child up for adoption with a family who is willing to care for the child. This would give the child a chance at life, and since it is a human life at fertilization, the child is allowed human rights.

A fetus, which can be considered a person by the time that the pregnancy is noticed, is not separate from the mother. If the mother dies, so does the fetus, so. It can be said that it is more important to ensure that the baby lives through the mother, as it cannot live on its own. If abortion is protected, than we are allowing many fetuses to die for no reason.

No, Pro-Life abortion is killing an innocent child that has done nothing and doesn't know the difference between right and wrong,g while the Mother knows the difference. I believe that we are all made in the image and likeness of God, so we should not kill a baby that doesn't even know its own name yet.
