Abortion

I strongly feel that abortion should not be legal.  Most women are for abortion because they feel that they should have the right to control their own body.  But in the case of abortion, their body is not the one being controlled-- the baby's is.  Most people would argue that the fetus is not a human being, just a blob of tissue.  But life begins at conception.  If not at conception, then when does it technically become a child?  Sex is for the purpose of creating a child.  If you are mature enough to have sex, then you should be mature enough to accept the consequences-- pregnancy.


The 14th Amendment states, "Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."  This means that women have the right to abort their baby, right?  Technically yes, but what about the rights of the baby?  An unborn baby is a person just like you.
