• A fetus is just a part of the woman's body • It's not a baby • An egg and a sperm are also human life -- the fetus is only a potential human being • It's not a person, it has no meaningful life • Do not impose your religion on me • A fetus is not a person until quickening • Life begins at birth • No one can really know that life begins before birth
• Even if the unborn is a human being we can't force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term against her will• Everyone has the right to choose • Every woman should have the right to control her own body, a.k.a. "reproductive freedom" • It's a private decision between a woman and her doctor -- the government should stay out of our bedrooms! • An unmarried girl shouldn't have to be embarrassed by having to carry her pregnancy to term or have the pain of placing her baby for adoption • Women won't ever have equal rights if abortion isn't an option • Some women have no other choice • I'm personally opposed but . . .
• It's unfair to bring an unwanted child into this world • Unwantedness leads to child abuse • The poor need to limit their children or they will be forever on welfare • The majority of Americans are pro-choice • Overpopulation and quality of life
• Tens of thousands will resort to back-alley abortions and women will die • Abortion is safer than childbirth • Abortion is easy and painless • Abortion may be the best answer for the woman at this time in her life
• What if the woman's life is threatened • What if the baby has a deformity • What if the woman was raped or was the victim of incest
