The Morality of Abortion!

[damyanti]

You say that "The fundamental controversy of abortion is: When does a human life begin?"

I don't think its relevant if the fetus is a living being or not...if something is growing inside of me, its my decision.

If someone breaks into my house, don't I have the right to shoot him...after all the bugler is human too?

I am in favour of teaching personal responsibility and education, but you cant force people to be sensible,...even before it was legal it was being done, there were always ways to come about abortive remedies.

Most European countries have a 12 week limit "on demand" and "may be performed after 12 weeks if necessary to avoid serious danger to the woman's physical or mental health; if the child is at risk of being born with a serious physical or mental defect; or if the woman is under 14 years of age" clause. I think thats a very good and reasonable stand.

If it's your body, why a 12-week limit? Why bother?
