To rule otherwise is to negate this right. Their professed compassion for the fetus apparently leaves no room for considering the woman's health and happiness. For them, waving a picture of a bloody, mangled fetus constitutes an argument. According to anti-abortionists' dogma, God places the soul in the womb at conception. The rights of the woman have therefore been sacrificed to the alleged rights of the fetus.
Abortion is a woman's moral right.
