The major argument with abortion is taking the life of an unborn human. Fetuses are not independent of themselves, more so they are very dependent on their carrier for nutrition, oxygen and other supplements. Therefore, the child will not be able to survive outside the womb by itself. Abortion is ending the pregnancy, not ending the life of the baby. Pro-life activists argue fetuses are able to feel pain. The cortex is outer most layer of the cerebrum; the cortex of an unborn fetus does not develop until 26 weeks of pregnancy. Pro-choice activist refer to the 2010 Britain’s Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist which states fetuses do not feel pain during abortions when the abortion is performed within the 26 to 30 weeks after conception.

Pro-life activist argue the Bible does not clearly distinguish between fetus and babies. It is seen by pro-life activist that when a baby is conceived, he or she is recognized by God as being life. Bible verses that are often referred to during arguments are Jeremiah 1:5 which says “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee…” clearly giving evidence that every child before out of the womb is recognize by God. Exodus 20:13 is also referred to which states “Thou shalt not kill”; activist argue this means all human, including unborn babies. Other religions see abortion as an equivalent to killing parents and destroying life. It is also argued the fetus feels pain during the abortion. Pro-life activist refer to a Neurobiology and Anatomy Adjunct Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Utah: School of Medicine who explains spinal reflex is developed by eight weeks. This gives a valid argument for the Pro-life activists which explains the fetus can detect pain by the end of the first …show more content…
In the 1970’s, women used to perform abortions on themselves with the” use of coat hangers, knitting needles or radiator flush.” (Abortion ProCon, n.d.) During this history, there were a recorded 39 deaths. Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion which dropped recorded deaths of mothers to two adults. Modern procedures for abortion lead to less health issues. Women have abortions because carrying the baby could result in death of the mother and the baby. Carrying a child to give birth has a higher risk of death rather than having an abortion. The risk of dying from an abortion is a 0.6 chance in 100,000: whereas the risk of dying from carrying a child to birth is a 9 in 100,000 chance. Many argue cancer and infertility are a result of having an abortion. The National Cancer Institute, the American Cancer Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist states the abortion cannot lead to the higher chance of breast cancer. Women who have at least two abortions have the same chance of fertility of those who had birth. With today’s government monetary standing, people are finding ways to reduce the giving of money to people who do not give back to society. Abortion reduces the use of welfare by mothers who are unable to work because they are unable to put their child in a daycare. The Congressional Budget office researched the effects of anti-abortion bills and found the deficit, which is $13.2
