Abortion should be legal in all U.S. states

I will start by giving arguments for Point 1 Abortion is morally wrong. Asked whether abortion is morally acceptable (in a new poll), morally wrong or not a moral issue, only about a quarter of U.S. adults (23%) say they personally do not consider having an abortion to be a moral issue, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center. The percentage of U.S. adults who consider abortion to be morally wrong (49%) far exceeds the percentage who express this view about in vitro fertilization (12%), non-embryonic stem cell research (16%) or embryonic stem cell research (22%). Only 15% of the public thinks that having an abortion is morally acceptable. By comparison, about a third of U.S. adults say they personally view IVF and both forms of stem cell research as morally acceptable practices. Opinions on the morality of abortion differ widely among religious groups. Relatively small percentages of people in all religious groups consider it morally acceptable to have an abortion. However, among the unaffiliated, roughly equal shares say having an abortion is morally acceptable (28%) and morally wrong (25%). About two-thirds of Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican Party consider having an abortion morally wrong (64%), compared with 38% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents. Similarly, conservatives (67%) are more inclined than either self-described moderates (40%) or liberals (31%) to view having an abortion as morally wrong. [1] This is all quite fascinating, but the last part goes to say that religious and republican people have a different definition of 'life' and also a different perception of 'human being and of 'rights.' Not to be bias but doesn't it seems like the Right side (politically speaking) cares more about the importance of a human being. Otherwise they wouldn't care whether mothers chose to keep their baby or destruct "it's" life. But they DO care, and the reason probably because they believe that a certain Creator made each and every one of us uniquely and lovingly therefore we should be protective of life. We do not think that fetuses have less "rights" than a 2 year old, and I personally think that abortion is the same concept as the murder of a 2 year old. To me it's not surprising, it's just sad, and - reality. Is it moral to kill a 2 year old? 99.99% would say no. Anybody who actually DID murder a two year old would probably be life sentenced (to prison), or worse. Why is killing a fetus any more moral, or better? Is it because some people don't believe that a fetus is a form of life? Is it because you can't see the fetus? Is abortion legal only because the fetus is helpless? If not, why else?

Point 2 Abortion Kills Under all circumstances of abortion, life is discriminated and there is one less intelligent, breathing and feeling human for the future. This cannot be justified. Christ died so we might live. This is the opposite of abortion. Abortion kills that someone might live differently. -John Piper By the time an unborn child is 18 days, the baby's heart beats. At 42 days, brain waves are detected. At 52 days, the baby hiccups and yawns. At 8 weeks all of the baby's organs function. 9 weeks: has fingerprints. 10 weeks: can feel pain. At 12 weeks, the baby can smile. Why would a mother want to kill it? To save herself? Or most likely because she wants to keep her life the same rather than care for a child. Personally I don't think a mother should have the right to choose whether she can keep the fetus or abort it because if she was that irresponsible to have sex and become pregnant in the first case why should she be given any right? SHE shouldn't have had the right to have sex, in the first place. In the end, you cannot deny that abortion is a selfish and unmoral object that kills a person's right to live. http://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com... http://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com... http://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com...
