Debate Classics: Abortion

[LightAndMagic]

I'm not incredibly pro-abortion. In fact, on many cases I disagree with it. But when it comes down to it, I am pro-choice. I don't know the full reasons/the woman's life. I'm not the one that will have to deal with it for however long, the woman will, so I ultimately believe it's their choice.

Furthermore, many studies show that higher abortion rates lead to lower criminal rates. If by saving baby's lives, that many times are going to end up in terrible conditions, and become a criminal (many of them serious crimes such as murder), what's the point in saving the baby? In the end it's still killing someone.

So it comes down to, is a fetus with no emotions, feeling, thoughts, friends, lovers etc. etc. better than someone who already has these things?

I agree to a certain point. Yes it's the woman's choice, but as stated earlier if the baby can feel pain then it shouldn't be allowed.
