How can you even make the argument that abortion is moral? It's not, anybody who says otherwise is an idiot and I'm going to tell you why. I know a common pro-choice argument is simplify posing the question "what about in cases where the mother's life is in danger/rape/ incest etc.?" It is EXTREMELY flawed logic to look at all abortion cases through a scope that shows you only a minuscule percentage of abortion cases. Next, legality and morality are two completely different things; just because something is immoral doesn't necessarily mean it should be illegal (adultery). So there is no need to bring up how making abortion illegal doesn't significantly decrease the amount of abortions.
Abortion raises many ethical issues. When is it not okay to abort a fetus? When there's a heart beat? When it's born? It makes no sense how something can be so disposable 5 minutes before birth, but valued as much as a human being after. What changed about the fetus in those 5 minutes?
If a pregnant woman is killed the assailant can be charged with double homicide. If a fetus is so worthless and just a "pile of cells", then why is it valued just as much as a human life when it is wanted? Who is the mother to decide if the same fetus has no value, or infinite value?
Is the fetus really part of the mother's body? When you see a pregnant woman, you don't say "how's your belly?", you say "how's your baby?" because the fetus is obviously different from the rest of the woman's body. Find one science textbook that labels a fetus as part of the basic female anatomy.
Abortion also raises many ethical issues. What is an acceptable reason for having an abortion? If your child is retarded? Disabled? If your child is a girl? With further advances made constantly, what if soon we can find out a fetus's sexuality in the womb? Is it okay to abort a baby because they are gay? Where do you draw the line.
