Abortion
One of the most controversial questions of all time is abortion. Is it morally acceptable to have an abortion? Many people (pro-choice) believe that women should have a choice, to have an abortion or not. While others (pro-life) believe that the fetus should be protected and that having an abortion is murder.

It is generally accepted that if someone was to have an abortion, the earlier she had it, the better. This is because, after three months the fetus begins to look like a baby.(Rtolerance) No one...
