A Fetus Is A Person
A fetus is a person and is separate from the mother, and therefore, the mother does not have rights to choose abortion.

It is a self-evident truth.

A fetus is a living person. Life begins at conception.

Yes.

The womb is built to extricate the contents=birth. Separate entity.
The contents=Baby, has a totally separate blood-stream from Mother. Is it's own person.

With the Rights of an Own Person.

 A person can make choices.
A newborn baby can make choices.
A fetus however, cannot. So, while being very negative a fetus is not a person.

I agree with everyone on this side.... People have abortions for many reasons.. And I'm not gonna list them all but 1 main reason is that they feel they wnt be able to cope.. And more and more teenagers are have abortion..with today's ever growing technology and knowledge of science babies can survive if really premature so yes it is murder in a way... The answer is NOT abortion.. The answer is CONTRACEPTION! Who agrees?

A fetus is a genetically unique human. It doesn't matter that it can't survive on its own, neither can adults on life support. It doesn't matter that it is immature, so are all children under 21 (still growing!). It doesn't matter that its ability to think is impaired, so are all people with neurological disorders. So unless it is ok to indiscriminately kill adults on life support, adults with neuro-disorders, and all children under 21, then a fetus is a person.

I very firmly agree! No one has the right to take a human life. Human life is a cell mass at first, doesn't make it less than human. A fetus is a word. The word describes the stage in which the human is at, at a specific time in it's development.

If it weren't a person, it wouldn't be growing. I'm not sorry to burst your bubbles. Abortion is literal torture on a helpless being. That is sick beyond words.

 It's for the greater good mark. The child will not be wanted.

A fetus, eight months old is a person, as far as I am concerned. Two days before giving birth, a woman can still get a doctor to kill her soon-to-be baby without being prosecuted by law !
But the BIG question is : Exactly when does a fetus becomes a human being ?
In his father's testicles ? After five months in her mother"s womb ? Whenever his "premature baby" status makes him/her viable ?
I don't know....

Right! If a woman doesn't want an unexpected pregnancy she shouldn't get laid at least without a condom. Abortion should be illegal just like any other law that's not legal.

A fetus is obviously a person of future and thus it should not be aborted in any case. Abortion is the heartless method by which a fetus gets terminated while staying in the womb. What I feel strongly that anybody in this world should not have the right to take a life although it would not be born till date. I feel that a fetus is a nothing but a life and a life is always precious and why should one kill it just only for some baseless reason? A fetus possesses as much right to live life as a normal human being. Therefore this abortion should be banned because it is nothing but as similar to murder. A fetus must be judged as a person of future because it is originally the unknown individuality of coming days. Treating fetus a person would lead to the banning of abortion.

I agree.
It's murder.
Yes, it's still growing, it may not be fully functional, and it still relies on its mother, but so does a one year old baby. Should mothers have the right to kill their own one year old baby just because there may be complications, problems, or struggles with it? No! It is the same with an unborn child.
It may be a fetus, but it is still a child. Period.

I totally agree that a foetus is a person. It may not be a full grown baby, but it is still life. As soon as sperm fertilises an egg it is life. No ifs, no buts, that's fact because it is a cell, and cells are life. I think that instead of abortion, women who don't want their children could give them up for adoption. The only problem with this would be that they could form an emotional attachment during the 9 months and not want to give up their baby anymore, which obviously could cause problems. I don't think though that we should take away a woman's right to abort their baby - what if they died themselves because pregnancy is too risky for them, or what if they had no other choice for some reason or other? I think this is a very touchy subject and I have always been in the middle with deciding whether or not abortion is right.

In theory this is right but in the eyes of the law the situation is different so I'll agree with you as you've stated your argument.
This is such a difficult issue. Yes that small fetus is a developing person and with scanning techniques we know so much more about how a baby develops before birth, this has made the arguments for abortion more difficult.
Having agreed with you I do think that there has to be some framework that protects women under some circumstances.
If a women would die in pregnancy or childbirth then this opens up a new debate.
There was a case not so long ago where one baby had to be aborted to save a twin and this must have been a terrible choice for those involved as I remember it was against the religious beliefs of the parents. However once the surviving child was born they changed their view somewhat when they realised that if the choice hadn't been made for them they would have lost both their children.
I agree that we have to give a lot of thought to the rights of these unborn children and this will always be a very emotive debate.

Scientifically speaking, a fetus is not a human being yet; it's just a big ball of cells. And the fetus is not separated from the mother. Where the heck did you get that from? Haven't you ever heard of a placenta, or the fact that an embryo has to attach to the mother's uterus to live, thus NOT being separated? Since a fetus is part of the mother's body it is her decision to have an abortion, and since her decision is based on her own beliefs, its constitutionally wrong to argue with her.

Even if the feotus were a person, abortion should still be legal as it is it's mother's body, and the mother has rights over her own body. You cannot possibly intend to give a feotus rights if it is unborn and unable to comprehend what a right is at all, let alone the right to life. And speaking of rights, what right do we have to judge any mother who wants an abortion?

 If comprehension is necessary what about people in a coma? What of people with a very low IQ? Drunks?

What right do you have to judge the right we have to judge a mother who wants an abortion?
