Pro Life Vs. Pro-Life Or Pro Choice?

Pro-Life or Pro-Choice? Out of numerous controversial subjects, the topic of abortion has made its way up the list of most talked about. By medical definition, an abortion is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus (“Abortion”). Among the controversy, two sides have formed. One side is known as pro-life and the other pro-choice. Pro-life supporters state that life beings at the moment of conception and believe that the unborn baby has the same rights as its mother.

One can experience mild to very strong cramping throughout the abortion. It is also common for light to moderate bleeding and maybe continue for six to eight weeks. This method has a 99 percent success rate (“Comparison of” 1). This

Many people who are pro-life see abortions as a direct violation preserving human life. This is one of the trickiest arguments concerning abortion because of the various opinions about what qualifies as a human life. Some say from the moment a human sperm penetrates a human egg, a new entity comes into the world. I believe otherwise. In the first trimester, which is when majority of abortions take place, fetuses and embryos cannot survive without its mother. Since its health is dependent on the mother’s health, it is not considered a separate life and therefore is not considered murder. After all, a person’s age is computed from their birth date, not
