Abortion--The Wrong Choice
The abortion debate is raging in America. The opposing sides in the debate each strongly believe they are right. The pro-choice supporters see a woman's right to choose as central to the debate. The life of the baby is the most important concern of the pro-life advocates. Very little middle ground exists on the issue of abortion. It seems that as long as contraceptives are not completely reliable and safe, abortion will remain an issue. This highly sensitive topic will undoubtedly be hotly contested for a long time to come Abortion should be illegal except in instances when the mother's life is endangered by the pregnancy.
Abortion is murder. The embryo is a person from the moment of conception.

A middle-aged person, a teenager, and an unborn baby are all in stages of human life. Killing the unborn baby is no more justifiable than killing the two other people. Abortion is a practice that should be prohibited by law because it basically amounts to...
Scientist say that?
if scientists think life begins when a sperm enters and egg, they must have a very depressing job- in 50% of cases, the egg will not do anything when combined with sperm, just sit there without dividing even once, then die. Of the ones that do divide into a zygote, only one in six will implant in the wall of the uterus. Even if they get that far,and it registers on a pregnancy test, the mothers body will check for any defects and spontaniously abort 15-20% of all babys. If life begins when egg hits sperm, then surly nature is the biggest killer of all.
