A few members have mentioned that a fetus isn\'t a human being yet. In my opinion, what grows inside a woman for the first 7 months is a parasite. It feeds off of what a woman eats and the biological waste it excretes is carried out of the woman as well (kinda like a ringworm). Its survival depends on the host body. So hypothetically, make the woman disappear and the parasite will shrivel and die.
In the case of rape, some rapists actually still run free, never getting caught. Imagine what a person, who was orphaned, started to research his/her background and found out that he/she was a product of rape or even incest. That\'s like thousands of dollars of therapy.
Why should a bunch of old, male caucasian politics make a decision of what happens to a woman. I bet they\'d want their mistresses to get an abortion before their wives found out.
Yes, I agree, we do abuse the act of sex but does that stop people from doing it? No. Do contraceptives work all the time? No. Abortions should be left as an option that\'s available. In my health class, we had watched a video about drug use in England. We know that marijuana and heroin are bad for you, but according to the video, the English are getting those drugs as prescriptions to not only control where addicts get their drugs but also to help them quit. That\'s an option; it\'s bad but it\'s an option anyway.
