Opinions, points of view and emotions are strong and passion is their fuel. Pro-Choice activists say it is a woman's right to choose what to do with her body. The distinction between biology and medicine states that an embryo is not yet a human life; since conception begins two to three weeks after implantation, the heartbeat is heard and the embryo can sustain life outside the uterus. Laws vary from state to state, and in our home state of Texas, political parties clash so fiercely that the state shakes with a tremor felt across the country. Arguments against abortion come from all over the world, and none are more widespread than those of churches around the world. For pro-life activists there is no middle ground; human life begins at the moment of conception.Ending that life is MURDER.Abortion: Induced termination of a pregnancy with destruction of the embryo or fetus. Any of various procedures that lead to the termination of a pregnancy. Also called induced abortion. (The American Heritage Medical Dictionary). Abortion: The termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus (Psychology in Action 10th ed.). Abortion: The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks. (Oxford Dictionary) The simple word “abortion” is disturbing by definition, from any source. Activists spare no mercy in picketing abortion clinics and taunting women seeking abortions. Protesters carry signs with images of late-stage aborted babies in full graphic detail and will even commit murders to try to stop the abortions from taking place. They bombed abortion clinics, killed the staff and doctors who work in abortion clinics with...... middle of paper ...... and "If you're not ready to be a dad, let someone be." "There are 2 million couples waiting to adopt." In conclusion, Pro-Life and Pro-Choice supporters both say they make the right claim to save lives, and each remains strong in their cause. After all, America is a democratic nation.
