Murdering your child is not a human right. The zygote has a right to live, whether it is an accident, born of rape, poor, crippled or retarded. Abortion is an extremely selfish action that's primarily justified with the argument that a zygote is not a person, the same argument that people have, made throughout history when trampling people's rights for their own selfish gain. Abortion should only be allowed if the mother's life is threatened by childbirth. Side: No way
Zygotes, are technically not people, rather a mere set of tissue within the uterus. This isn't just about the life of the child, it's about the life of the mother. Also, it's not even guaranteed whether the baby will live. I see your argument as selfish and close-minded because you are not seeing the factor of how this might endanger the mother. Additionally, it is not right to allow violence in this country, right? So rape is then considered a violent crime, not a sex offense. These decisions are guaranteed to women by the 9th Amendment under Roe v. Wade, and reinforced with the right to privacy, also guaranteed under the 9th amendment. Side: Yes, do it
