"The problems people have with the issue of abortion stem from some basic misconceptions about the "sacred" nature of life, about fetuses, about babies and about human beings.
The pro "life" stance basically boils down to this
Life is sacred
Human life is especially sacred
Fetuses are human life

Therefore abortion is wrong."

So, life is sacred. Yet humans are the main cause of death of life on this planet already. Animals and Plants are life. What makes us different then animals and planets? We have a mind, that is it. So, since psychology does not know what gives us our mind, we can not tell when a fetus is to the level of having the rights as all of us. Once Psychology figures out what makes us have minds, that is when there can be a limit. Otherwise, killing a fetus is like killing a deer or tree for food and wood.
