The Right to Life

             Abortion, the termination of pregnancy before the fetus has attained the ability to live
             independently, is morally wrong. The decision of pro-life or pro-choice has been society's most

             indecent: 1) Vacuum curettage is a powerful suction tube inserted through the cervix and into the
             womb. The fetus is torn apart by the force of the suction, and the body parts and placenta are then
