Biological Perspective Anti-Abortion

The Argument Against Abortion: Biological Perspective The biological argument against abortion is based mainly on determining when life begins.

When does a life begin? There is much debate surrounding the beginning of life, however, most among those that are pro-life agree that a life begins at conception and that aborting a child is considered murder. “I think we have deluded ourselves into believing that people don't know that abortion is killing. So any pretense that abortion is not killing is a signal of our ambivalence, a signal that we cannot say yes, it kills a fetus.” -Faye Wattleton
