In this quote, Terzo talks about how mothers discard their unborn children as if they're not humans, but trash. Just because the child hasn't fully developed yet, doesn't mean it's not a human.…

There are other options women have such as adoption: waiting until the baby is born and providing the child a well-suited family to properly care for them. I believe any way you can avoid aborting a child is better than abortion because you give the child a chance for life. An unborn child in the womb contains all of the characteristics for it to be considered living, proving abortion is morally and scientifically wrong.…
