Arguments Against Abortion

Abortion is a highly debated topic in many circles around the world. One where both sides can be considered truthful and strong. The article “Abortion and Rights” takes that stance that abortion should be prohibited and laws should exist to stop it in most cases. The article cites; Abortion goes against the fundamentals of human rights, fetuses are also human and should be treated as such, many woman part-take in abortion as a quality of life action which is not humane and finally allowing the act of abortions runs us the risk of treating people with disabilities and such as lesser in society.
