Aborting a fetus is not anywhere near equivalent to killing a man. And the difference has nothing to do with age. The difference lies in being a developed human-being. While “life” starts at conception, life is a very broad term that can apply to even bacteria by scientific definition. A fetus has the potential of becoming a person, but it is not. A fetus does not have a developed brain or nervous system until late 2nd trimester, therefore is incapable of feeling pain, emotion, thoughts. To compare that to killing a man is a false equivalency. Giving birth is expensive, a huge commitment, and takes a huge toll on a woman physically and emotionally. Some women have no intention on changing their lifestyle to carry an unwanted pregnancy, even if they were prohibited from having an abortion. This is increases the risk of children being born with serious complications or death once they are full term due to drug, alcohol use, etc. It can also lead to illegal abortions which will still kill the fetus and put women at risk. as a fetus is completely reliant on the woman to develop into a person- the choice is the woman’s. I can understand why someone wouldn’t want to get an abortion, I can also understand why someone would. Hence I am pro choice.

did you really compare forcing a woman to carry an unwanted pregnancy for 9 months to giving the cop your drivers license? a better comparison would be if this cop pulls you over, and says you must now sleep with him for the next 9 months. because I made a mistake I have to commit my body, time and mental well being to something I don’t want?

Woman abort for many different reasons, even if her health is not in danger. One of those reasons is not “just because she can”, abortion is not something women do for fun & is a last resort. first of all it’s expensive and second of all it can be painful. However, if a woman accidentally gets pregnant and her birth control fails, it is totally her right to have an abortion. A fetus is not a person and a woman has the right to decide if she wants to carry a fetus to term. I wish pro-lifers cared as much about the poor children in the foster care system as they do about partially developed fetuses.

“The precept at the heart of the neurological view of the beginning of human life is the significant development of neural pathways that are critical for characteristic human brain activity. The formation of these neural connections is often viewed to culminate in the acquisition of humanness, a stage during the third trimester of human gestation when the overwhelming majority of neural pathways in the cerebral cortex are established (Morowitz and Trefil 1992).” Just because the brain has begun to develop does not equate to a functional brain. Fetus is still incapable of feeling pain or emotion at 7 weeks.

There are a few reasons I believe abortion should be legal. Firstly, individuals and even scientists cannot agree on when “life” or personhood begins. Some believe life begins preconception, some

believe life begins at conception, some when the fetus has a heartbeat, some when fetal brain activity exhibits regular wave patterns, and so forth. Therefore, I believe it is a woman’s right to choose whether she wants to carry a pregnancy to term. There are a lot of valid reasons that a woman may choose abortion, just because her birth control fails she should not be forced to have a child. Another arguement for legalizing abortion is that a large percentage of women who have abortions are single and living in poverty. The cost of having birth and the cost of raising a child is incredibly expensive so if you are arguing that abortion should be banned you should also be arguing for higher taxes and more tax money going towards welfare. And my final argument is, as some people have previously mentioned, countries where abortion has been banned have higher abortion rates than countries where it is illegal. Illegal abortions are more dangerous for the woman and could also lead to an increase in late term abortions. Furthermore, by banning abortion women will inevitably be prosecuting for having illegal abortions, and in some instances it’s hard to differentiate an abortion and a miscarriage. For example, El Salvador has infamously had a couple of cases of women who served 15 years in prison for having a miscarriage. Abortion can be substantially decreased by providing affordable long-term birth control, not banning it. Ultimately every woman should have the right to choose.
