When a woman becomes cognizant of their pregnancy, there are two choices available to her; keeping the fetus or aborting the fetus. I think the latter option is absurd. Why hurt yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally to get rid of a life inside of you? It makes no sense. Also, have you seen an abortion performed? It’s amazingly gruesome. Let me tell you why you should leave the Dark Side and join the pro-life forces.
As we all know, abortion is the termination and removal of a fetus from a woman who is pregnant. This deplorable act is performed every day by physicians.

Now some people may say that you are not killing a human being as it is not out of the womb yet or it is technically part of the mother so the mother has the right to let the baby stay or go (what George and Lee call “the bodily rights argument” (20)) or whatever other excuses they can conjure up. Here’s how I see it: the true purpose of sexual intercourse is for reproduction; pleasure just happens to be an amazing condition attached alongside. Abortion is seen as a way out for women who became pregnant. No, I’m not saying that being pro-life is to not have sex (which actually leads to my next point); it’s to have sex
