The document discusses the debate around abortion from both sides. Pro-choice arguments include that women have reproductive rights to decide to carry a baby to term or not, and that a fetus is not legally considered a human being. However, others argue that abortion is equivalent to murder as it ends a potential human life without consent. The document also notes health risks to women from abortion as well as ethical and religious considerations on both sides of the debate.

baby a choice at life

 Many couples wait for years for the chance to
adopt a child
 The decision often comes to minors or young
adults who don’t have the maturity and life

doctors Hippocratic oath,
and according to a survey in
2006 by LifeNews more
than 82% of women later
regretted their abortion
decisions.

women to health risks and
danger of losing fertility.

increased risk of having a
premature baby.

medical study, women
who have more than 1

 Government gets to control a woman's body.
 "Back alley" abortions would increase if it were made illegal, leading to
increased risk of young women dying or becoming sterile.
 Its better to abort the baby, rather than having it grow up poor and
neglected and become more likely to get involved with crime.
 Giving up a child for adoption can be just as emotionally damaging as
having an abortion.
 Carrying and delivering a baby can be painful & dangerous to the
mother, and a number of complications can develop.
Abortion is not murder because it is performed before a fetus has
developed into a human person.

7.  Most women argue that abortion is a case
of women's rights and personal freedom.
They believe that fetuses, embryos, and
zygotes are not actual people.
 Life starts in the womb, but “life” means a
lot of things. Cows, pigs, sheep, deer and
chickens (all of which the majority of
Americans eat, pro-"life" or not) are "alive."

8.  Life should be dignified,
and the lives of animals
being raised for slaughter
are pretty much never
dignified. And so many go
to waste- the number of
animals raised for slaughter
in this country that live in
conditions that render
them totally inedible.
 Pro-Choice advocates
believe that they should
have the choice and right
to their baby, not the
government or anyone
else.
