There was a topic about abortion about 3 years ago, but it hasn't been active in forever, so I figured I would bring it up again since there have been lots of new people in that time and I guess it can be possible to change your opinion.
I think abortion is completely ethical and should be 100% legal. A majority of abortions are done before 12 weeks of pregnancy with the legal limit being 24 weeks. From a pure biological standpoint, a fetus' nervous system isn't even developed until ~ week 25 which is when it begins to rapidly develop. Prior to week 24, the fetus doesn't even have significant bodily functions that define something as being alive. How is not okay to abort it before this point if it doesn't have enough characteristics to classify it as being alive? To me, that's like saying that you can't cut a sandwich in half because it has pumpkin seeds on it (I know, weird metaphor but it's the general idea). If the woman wants an abortion, let her have it. It's her body, she can decide what she wants to do with it and anyone who is against abortion is just enabling discrimination against women by not letting them have a choice regarding their own body. Discuss.
