Different places in the world have different laws on abortion. Some states allow abortion up to a certain age of the foetus, while others don't allow it at all.
So what do you think? Are you in favor of it or against it? When does the baby, which starts off as a ball consisting only of a few cells inside the womb, actually start to count as a human being? Please give some explanation behind your point of view, putting into consideration things such as unwanted pregnancies. |

Okay, so it looks like most people are against it. But from what point is a baby a baby? From the second the egg is fertilised? or should we protect all our sperm and egg cells just in case they might get fertilised and grow into the next Albert Einstein or Michael Jordan? Am I murdering thousands of potential geniouses every time I ejaculate?
What should the law be? UK law states that abortion is legal up to the 24th week of pregnancy, at which stage the foetus could technically survive outside the womb. Quite a lot of States in America totally oppose it. Should people be given a choice on whether they want an abortion or not? |
