There is a difference between abortion and between life-saving surgery. Abortion is the termination of a human life, within the womb of another person. Surgery, on the other hand, involves an effort to save life. Individuals, who find that they are a match for someone else, freely cooperate together to have the necessary treatments performed. It is recognized that no one can be forced to adhere to such procedures. As regards to abortion, there are alternatives. Alternatives in that the child can be given up for adoption, that the woman can use birth control, etc. Abortions can be permitted if the woman's health is in absolute jeopardy, or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. But anything beyond that is illogical and wrong. You cannot compare saving a person's life to destroying it.
False, abortion is the termination of a pregnancy.
Adoption implies that the woman was forced to carry the pregnancy out against her will, unacceptable.
Birth control is great and works very well in states that actually encourage and teach about it, southern states have some of the highest teen pregnancy AND abortion rates because of their severe negligence in contraception and education.
Fix those and unwanted pregnancies will plummet.
