It doesn´t matter if its not a child yet. It´s still a life you´re taking I´m so tired of hearing the explanation that it´s not a child yet, therefore it doesn´t mean it´s alright. We had this discussion in my class some time ago. Surprisingly it was only me and another person who were against abortion. I was very shocked. I´ve always thought everybody deserves a chance to live and nobody should have the power to take away an innocent persons life. The discussion in my class was about "teen moms". I said "I think you should take responsibility of you´re own actions, instead of pretending it didn´t happen." A lot of young girls don´t even think about what they´re really doing, they think about abortion as a way to erase what happened. But you can´t do that, it already happened. Besides you don´t just get pregnant behind your back. It´s not like you just wake up someday and realize that you´re pregnant. We all know how babies are made. When you have sex you´re aware of the "consequence", so you shouldn´t have the right to kill somebody. If you get raped, then it is not something you have done. Still, killing the embryo doesn´t change what happened. I don´t think it would make anything better. The child is not guilty.
