it is just religious belief. Religious belief should never be forced onto the general public, that is why we have seperation of church and state. Abortion is NOT murder because the fetus is NOT a baby.

4. Ew! Abortion is disgusting!

We've all heard horror stories about abortion procedures. Hysterical descriptions of the 'baby' being brutally ripped apart, graphic descriptions of the blood and gore. Seems painful, doesn't it? Seems inhumane? But remember, the 'baby' is not a baby. It is not fully developed, or even partially developed. It has NO functioning brain, NO nerve endings- it cannot feel a single thing that's happening to it. To make abortion illegal simply because it's squeamish to watch is ridiculous. Might as well make surgery illegal, or circumcision.

5. There need to be restrictions because some women take advantage of abortion and use it for the wrong reasons.

Are there wrong reasons? Really? So what if a woman has an abortion because she got pregnant after not using a condom? She made a mistake, yes. But should she be punished for nine months straight and forced to carry a baby that she does not want? No. This is saying, "You didn't plan ahead, and because of that, you must give birth to a baby." That's a horrible thing to force a woman to do, and awfully vindictive and spiteful.

In closing, I will say this- every woman has the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Religion does not have the right to insinuate its opinions as fact and force women to give birth to unwanted babies, or force horrible restrictions on availability. Restrictions only create more psycholocical trauma and stress, turning an already difficult situation into a nightmarish one.
