Abortion is one of the widely debated topics across the globe with varying levels of beliefs. What is abortion? The removal of the fetus/egg inside a woman's uterus when she does not want the child. This article looks at the views of naturalists, spiritual believers and other anti-abortion groups. Is abortion truly wrong?

I say no, and these are the arguments against it that have been dissected to reveal many flaws.

1) Against "god's" will.

Well, if you don't believe in god, then how should that really affect you? "God's" will has no place for you because you have no place for it. One should not enforce their religious beliefs onto others. If you do not approve of abortion, thats fine. But do not hinder those who do. Let's say you were a catholic Christian. Would it be okay for Atheists or Protestants to come and demand for you to use birth control against your will? What truly makes it okay for pro-life rallies in their attempts to destroy abortions but not the enforcement of birth control to protect against unwanted pregnancies and the spread of Sexual Infections and Diseases?

2) It's not natural

Well, an Abortion is a purposely induced miscarriage. Miscarriages are "natural" are they not? They happen to many women, especially those of older age in their attempts of conceiving children. We create many "non-natural" things, such as processed food, hormonal birth control, medical drugs like vaccines, plastic...all these things have had scientific adjustments and chemicals added, implying that they are not "natural". But we accept them. People try to define them as being "different" things. Well its these "differences" in what they are that are just creating more problems than fixing them. Cars are not "natural" yet we use them for transportation. Elevators are not natural, yet we use them to get to the top of buildings and skyscrapers (which are also not natural). Its not natural for us to drink Cow's milk, we are the only species of animal on this planet that drinks milk after infancy, let alone from ANOTHER ANIMAL and we have to constantly impregnate the cows or use hormones to keep them in a state of pregnancy in order for them to lactate. Now, is THAT natural? Those who use the "non-natural" argument I hope are naturalists themselves, are hunter-gatherers, use no medicines and only herbal supplements found in the wild etc...Because lets face it, most of our world today is not strictly "natural".

3) It's murder.

Ah yes, the argument
