Abortion is justified.
Diogenes
Your assertion that abortion is justified completely sidesteps the fundamental ethical dilemma: the cessation of a potential life. How can an act that terminates a developing human being be "justified" without first addressing the moral status of that life? You're starting your argument in the middle, assuming away the most contentious part.

Whay do you mean? It is our choice, our female bodies. You, or hospitals shouldn't control our freedom, and it's not a actual baby if it's just a fetus. ITS NOT HUMAN.
Diogenes
"Our choice, our female bodies" is a worn-out slogan that sidesteps the issue. The biological reality is that a human embryo, not merely a "fetus," begins to form distinct human characteristics with a beating heart and developing organs as early as 5-8 weeks.[1][2][3] To declare it "not human" is a disingenuous attempt to redefine biological facts for convenience. If it's not human, what species is it?
