Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy after conception. It is a way to allow women to terminate their pregnancies, but it involves killing the fetus/embryo that is undeveloped. It is a very controversial subject for this very reason, especially in American politics. There are two sides to abortion: pro-abortion and anti-abortion. People that support abortion think that the embryo or fetus is not an actual person, and that the government should keep allowing abortion unless/until they can prove that it is a person. Opponents of abortion think that think that the embryo/fetus is an actual person, and that they should ban abortion unless/until they can prove that it's not a person.
Now, I am against abortion for many reasons. First of all, I agree that the embryo/fetus is a person. In fact, the baby's heart starts beating about the fifth week of a forty week pregnancy. The baby's body is completely formed at about the ten week period. Also, there have been electrical brain waves recorded as early as forty days into the pregnancy. Second of all, the way they kill the baby is absolutely awful and horrifying. There are many ways to kill the unborn baby, but the most common way literally dismembers its body, and is vacuumed out. Now, to me, that is both gruesome and awful.
