​The most common weak argument against abortion is: “you are killing a baby”. What is being aborted is not a baby. Instead, an abortion in the first trimester is eliminating a group of cells and tissue from the uterus. A fetus in the womb cannot think, breathe, feel or do anything on its own. There are hundreds of explanations as to why women need abortions. The long list includes: she was a victim of rape/incest, she is not ready or too young for a child, she is financially incapable of having a baby, the fetus has a health problem, the woman has a health problem, she wants to avoid being a single parent, etc. The social aspect to these problems is not frivolous, but very serious. The only way to understand these reasons is to be in a woman’s shoes. They are legitimate reasons and cannot be solved in most cases. To think otherwise is incredibly ignorant.
