Abortion

An abortion is the removal of the fetus from a pregnant woman. One who is pregnant should for whatever reason be able to have this preformed on themselves, as long as it is in the early (first trimester) stages of pregnancy. The best alternative to abortion is not to get pregnant in the first place, by using contraception or keeping one's legs together. Most conservatives like to think Liberals like abortions, of course that's not true, no one does they just don't think it should be illegal.

Procedure
Abortion is an extremely safe procedure, and can be even safer than childbirth. However, conservative-influenced studies have attempted to identify every possible complication that could occur to control women through fear and destroy such organizations as Planned Parenthood.

Arguments Against Abortion
Some of the arguments against abortion include the rights of the fetus, which is good and all, but under the 14th amendment,

The fetus is not born therefore, not a citizen. Conservatives like to have religion on their side when dealing with abortion, the same conservatives justify killing human beings through Capital punishment or war. They believe these are people made by God. The same Conservatives destroy the environment (also supposedly made by God). The same Conservatives let people suffer and sometimes die by not aiding the poor, or not aiding people who have been in unavoidable natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina. The same Conservatives opppose Universal Health Care which prevents unecessary deaths.

That's what (What Jesus did, at least according to the neocons)
