It seems there is one thing that most of us agree on and that is the welfare of the mother (ie. the confirmed human being) should be greater than that of the fetus (ie. that whose status is contested).
Hence, we need to create blanket laws that will cater to all individuals in society in the most compromising fashion. Since the woman giving birth has certain rights confirmed and the fetus does not, is it not logical then that abortion be legalized? It simply is the less of two evils here.
Some may not be happy, true, then again the rich don't like taxes either.

i believe that the only time abortion should be legalized is when its beyond reasonable doubt. in other words, when there is conciderable proof that a fetus is is not human at an exact point because otherwise we are taking much to great of a risk of being wrong. this isnt like an issue of how long to keave the cake in the oven.. if we are wrong, innocent babies die. thats the bottom line. i dont know about you, but you dont burry a body if youre not sure hes dead just like you shouldnt abort a fetus if youre not sure hes not alive. until we know for sure, abortio should not be practiced.
