I do not believe that abortion should be accessible to just any person that is pregnant. Abortion is one of the most horrible acts a human being can take. Men can be just as guilty of abortion by convincing the woman carrying the developing embryo to have it surgically removed. Yes, an embryo is not "living on its own" and is not self-sufficient/self-caring. Yes, it is not breathing, eating, talking, moving on its own, but the embryo is still living no matter what. On another note, pregnancy could be considered a virus because a virus in parasitic, but a virus is intended to shorten life and intended to cause damage to any living being. Viruses live off of your body, growing to a more intense strength and try to take you over. Yes, a developing embryo is parasitic upon the hosting mother body. However, we understand that pregnancy is our way of reproduction, so parasitic definition is completely invalid and http://www.debate.org/debates/Should-abortion-be-legal-no-strings-attached/1/comments/ 2008-01-25T17:00:18-08:00
