It begins by defining abortion as the removal of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, which can occur spontaneously in a miscarriage or be intentionally induced. It notes abortion has been legal in the US since 1973 under Roe v. Wade. The document then explores the debate around whether abortion should be legal or illegal, and considers arguments from both pro-life and pro-choice positions. It raises several points about the complexity of the issue and how personal beliefs and circumstances influence individual views on abortion.
