Abortion is morally permissible in which a fetus is not a person which deprives the fetus to its right to life, circular reasoning is an ineffective to oppose abortion, abortion only risks the fetus not society, and deprivation from a fetus's future and suffering of a loved one has no effect on the argument towards anti-abortion.
One of the most important aspects of abortion being legal is the issue of safety. Until abortion became legal in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision in the Roe v.

Many feel that a child should not have to live a life with such handicaps, and many parents do not have the time or money to constantly deal with traveling to countless doctors appointments and constant care.

Raising a baby with special needs is far more tedious and expensive than raising a healthy baby. Reproductive choice helps prevent women and couples from having to experience financial harm. Advocates of pro-life feel that aborted a fetus due to genetic abnormalities are discriminatory. Without keeping the well being of the mother in mind, they also believe that physical and mental disabilities do not make a child any less
