    society. The second a fetus is fertilized it has the right to life. Though abortion has not yet been banned, laws still have some sort of involvement when women decide to undergo abortion. Abortion is one of the most complex situation when falling into the prolife/prochoice debate. Prolife can be defined as the baby must be born despite all other viability or quality of life whereas prochoice is that each person has full control over what they do with their own body with respect to their reproductive systems as long as they do not breach anybody else’s reproductive system. It is clear that the reason why there is conflict is due to abortion. It can go either way on the debate depending on the situation and the beliefs that an individual may have. However, though the law protects unborn fetuses there should be other preventions and rights that should be contemplated, such as the absolute right to be born no matter the circumstances of the parent, and the right to adoption.

    Thomson argues that even under the premise that the fetus is a person, the fetus’s right to life does not automatically override the mother’s right to abortion.

Anthony’s early life and upbringing had a pointed influence on her beliefs…
