Abortion

             Is abortion right or wrong? This is a debate that has gone on for years, swaying back and forth from illegal to legal. Are you pro-life or pro-choice; is it murder or is it getting rid of something you don't want? One of the major arguments is, "When does life begin?"

They also believe that if you were raped then you shouldn't have to keep it because you didn't want it. Finally, there is the point that they believe a fetus cannot think.
             Let's talk about the pro-choice point; you're not really killing the fetus since it was never alive. This is not true at all; scientists now agree that human life starts at the moment of conception. Fetuses and embryos are actually biologically complete h
