The opinions of people usually fall into two groups; pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life advocates believe that abortion is murder. They feel strongly that terminating a pregnancy is terminating a life. Often time’s abortion is against a religion. At the point of conception a fetus is recognized by god, therefore terminating a pregnancy is a form of murder which disobeys many religions (AbortionProcon.org). They believe a fetus is a human and has the right to life. Pro-life supporters think Planned Parenthood should no longer be government funded and that abortion should be illegal. Pro-choice supporters believe a woman has the right to her body and any decisions that are made about her body. They believe a woman has the right to an abortion if she chooses to do so. At the point of conception a fetus is only a cell (AbortionProcon.org). Henry Morgentaler, president of Humanist Association of Canada, says “Even if you have a hundred bricks, or two hundred bricks, it is not yet a house. For it to be a house it needs walls, plumbing, electricity, and a functional organization. The same is true for a developing embryo.” (Morgentaler). They believe the fetus is not a human yet and therefor abortion is not terminating life it is merely terminating a cell. Pro-choice advocates think Planned Parenthood should remain government funded and abortion should remain
