    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. Wade case of 1973 (McBride,Alex), many women were forced to undergo unsafe abortions. It is estimated that nearly 1.2 million women died during “back alley” abortions before Roe v. Wade was passed.…
