A clear understanding of one's opponents' views and reasoning makes for a much more powerful and convincing argument. Abortion should not be criminalized. The belief that the fetus is a human being with a soul and rights before it is able to survive on its own outside the womb is exactly that, a religious belief. The religious beliefs of one group should not be imposed on the rest of our society. Since there is no proof that a fetus is a human being, only opinion, any rights that it might have should not supercede the right of the pregnant woman to decide what she can and cannot do with her own body.
Abortion is morally wrong.
It infringes on the child's right to life. The fetus is a living being with constitutional rights of its own. The mother should not sacrifice the life of her child in order to avoid the consequences of her actions. Our government should not allow legalized murder in the name of the Constitutional right to privacy. While discrimination against women and minorities was a serious problem in the past, that problem has largely been eliminated.
