Description
I am against abortion after the first signs of neural activity. After that abortion should be illegal as long as there is a foster care system (not forcing the mother to take care of the child after birth) and unless the pregnancy is life threatening to the mother.
I believe it is murder, and murder should be illegal unless under certain circumstances, such as self defence (in this case the fetus threatening the mothers life).
The topic statement is just so wrong on so many levels...
