3
Arguments in Favor
  • It is a womans right to choose what happens to
    her body.
  • This often is under the assumption that a human
    life DOES NOT begin at conception.

4
Arguments in Favor
  • Abortion can be a medical necessity.
  • This involves the discussions that include
    medical complications due to pregnancy. That the
    life of the mother, the child or both could be
    put in jeopardy by the pregnancy. A medical
    situation that could be changed by the
    termination of the pregnancy.

Arguments in Favor
  • Right to Privacy
  • Many supporters believe the government does not
    have the authority to infringe on the right of
    individual women to exercise this option.

6
Arguments Against
  • Abortion is murder.
  • This belief is based in the belief that human
    life begins at conception. That a fetus is a
    baby as soon as the egg is fertilized.

7
Arguments Against
  • Abortion is against God.
  • Many opponents of abortion view the medical
    procedure as messing with Gods plan. God
    chose to make someone pregnant, God is the only
    one who can decide to terminate it.

8
Arguments Against
  • Adoption is a better option than abortion.
  • Many opponents of abortion believe that there is
    already an option other than abortion for
    unwanted pregnancies.

  • Somewhere in between?
