A new wave of feminism emerged in the 1960s. Many new feminist groups, for example, the National Organization for Women (NOW), began to form insisting that abortion was a woman's right. This "woman's liberation" called for a new sexual freedom for women where they no longer had to interrupt their careers and lives to raise children. Many doctors refused to do the procedure so many of the organizations learned how to perform abortions themselves and administered them without physicians. Most of these feminists argue that a fetus is just a "mass of cells" and is not alive until it comes out of the mother's uterus in birth. In 1973, in the United States, a famous Roe v. Wade decision legalized on demand abortion throughout the first three months of a pregnancy. Ever since, there has been a vicious debate between supporters of and those against a liberalized abortion policy.

I am strongly against abortion and feel that no one has the right to take away another's life. I do, however, feel that if the mother's life is in danger that all of the precautionary steps should be taken to prevent having to use abortion, but if that is the only way to save the mother's life, then an abortion should be performed. I do not believe in the selfish reasons of taking another's life especially due to the lack of judgment on the parents' actions.

As early as the times of the Ancient Egyptians, people looked for a way to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. Today, abortion is an intense debate in our society. Should a person be able to take another's life? Isn't it considered murder if the person is already 'alive'?
