Abortion – Right or Wrong

Abortion consideration requires one to look at the law, social thoughts, religious

concepts, family emotions and, ethics and morality.

Pro-choice organizations believe the fetus is not a human

being and abortion is a woman's right to choose.

Pro-lifers, on the other hand, claim that a human being

begins at conception, and to abort a fetus is murder. If

the woman has a choice, should not the future child also

have a choice. And who represents the rights of that

child? The main question is when does life begin. If it

is at the time of fertilization, and the baby's life is not

interrupted by abortion, then he or she will someday become

an adult man or woman. Abortion is murder, and intentional

murder, according to the law is wrong.

If a woman has the

right to choose then that means that the right of the child

to live is threatened. If the fetus is given the right to

survive than the right of the woman is denied. Fetal

rights raises issues of moral status, human potential and

the relationship that would develop with the mother. s

will grow to become a participating adult in society.
