Abortion a choice or murder

             Thesis: Is abortion a woman's choice or abortion murder?
             Abortion is a very controversial topic. Many politicians are trying to get abortion out-lawed. This decision is making it illegal for a woman to choose how she is to live her life.

All and all it is a very disturbing and emotionally draining event for anyone involved. Especially, the women who are there to have an abortion.
             The reason this is such a controversial topic is because of one question "when does a fetus become a baby and get a soul." Some people believe a fetus gets its soul at conception and some people believe it happens when the fetus develops a heartbeat. The heartbeat of a fetus can be detected as early as three weeks in the uterus. However, medically speaking this is not a true heartbeat.
