I guess it depends on wether you believe the unborn child is human and has as much right to life as any other human. That's the core arguement really, is the unborn child just a mass of cells that is no more "alive" than your liver, or is it in fact "John, Mary, Wanda, William"?
When is it alive? is it ever alive? can we decide that at 3 months? 7 months? 15 years? How bout late term abortions? should we allow those past 9 months? what about someone who survived an abortion, should the mother be allowed to abort them later when they are a teenager? What if the mother decides the baby's hair is the wrong color? is that ok for an abortion?
Some may laugh off the arguement, but it happened before. It's called ugenics and it was practiced by the Nazi's.
