Article three: Is Abortion Murder?

Source Citation
"Is Abortion Murder?" World Overpopulation Awareness (population). WOA, 24 Mar. 2010. Web. 12 Apr. 2010.

The article takes a pro chioce view towards abortion. It states that women have rights over their own body. The question disputed is when does a fetus become a person? It is not quite clear at which stage this occurs. Pro-choice activists proclaim that personhood slowly develops, instead of occuring all at one time. The reasoning behind this is that a fetus cannot act as a distinct individual. It is incapable of thinking, talking, and functioning as an individual would. As debate continues as to when the fetus becomes a person, it is not fair to the child to not give it a chance. Abortion never gives the child a chance to live. Who knoes what this child may accomplish and contribute to society. Everyone deserves a chance at life.

  1. You make some very controversial points about this article. Maybe stay away from questions like "When does a fetus become a person?", because that's not a question that can be clearly defined and answered, and thus won't help your case much.
