In my own opionion, Women should be allowed the choice, my reasons being:
-The fetus/' concerned has a high probability of, Being still-born, miscarried, dying during delivery, or short after, and/or killing the Mother as well, due to a genetic disorder of the mother or fetus. Also, if the child has a high probability of being born severely mentally retarded,as mentally capable as a labotomizee, or brain dead.
-The child is the offspring of a ****, which is a mentally traumatizing experience, and the mother has no idea if the child could grow up to be; like the old addage, like father, like son, mentally unstable, violent etc.
-If it is an unexpected child, in the region of, protection used but failed, e.g. condom burst, morning after pill didn't work etc, and the child is unwanted, and not able to be properly, or adequately cared for.
Righting a few wrongs:
A fetus is not deemed developed enough for life outside of the womb until 35-40 weeks.
Just because the fetus has a heartbeat doesn't meant it is a human life, or alive, as it does not have a scientifically recognisable conciousness until near the end of the pregancy. This means that abortion is not akin to murder, as murder is deliberate, and caused by conscious thought.
Abortion, is called that because it Aborts, or ends the pregnancy prematurely.
Also, the Fetus is apart of the Mother, up until around the middle of the pregancy.
And in my own views, Abortion is a terrible thing, and women who ignore contraception, even for religious reasons, are ignorant, and irresponsible.
