I have read a bit on the subject of Abortion and the ethics their of. My problem with understanding the issue is this:
I understand the entire argumant of woman who believe it is their own body and may therefore decide what to do with it. I sympathize with those woman; rape, financial problems, and complications during pregnancy make their argumant very strong, but....
When those woman have an abortion it is not neccesarily their own body they are protecting, but the body of another they are harming. Even if that body may only be a few cells it will in time become a full grown human being with the same basic human right (the right to live).
So the real question then is when do we ascribe those rights onto a child still being carried within its mother
