They argue that once the egg and sperm have joined, even if you magnify the product it's length is still less than an inch. They say up to 75 percent of all fertilized eggs are spontaneously aborted and do not result in a live birth. They argue that anti-abortionists look at the joined egg and sperm, see a person in the forty-six chromosomes, and decide that person is more important than any consideration of the woman except her right to life. They also say she is invisible to the anti-abortionist other than as the carrier of the fetus. (Weddington 249) .
"There is no abortion that is not the unjust taking of another's life." (Burtchaell 13) The fetus is a human being and it is an innocent person. It is morally wrong to end the life of an innocent person. Therefore, it is morally wrong to end the life of a fetus.
"Abortion was not only a crime during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, abortion of early pregnancy was legal under common law. Abortions were illegal only after "quickening," the point at which a pregnant woman could feel the movements of the fetus (approximately the fourth month of pregnancy)." (Reagan 8) During the more than one hundred years that abortion was illegal in the United States, the patterns, practice, policing, and politics of abortion all changed over time. Abortion was widely available throughout much era when abortion was a crime. Yet periods of tolerance were punctuated by moments of severe repression. (Reagan 14) The five states that allowed abortion in 1970 experienced declines earlier than the rest of the nation, which legalized in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. In high abortion states, only arrests of those born after abortion legalization fall relative to low abortion states. Legalized abortion appears to account for as much as fifty percent of the recent drop in crime. (Donohue 1).
At some points during the severe repression the changing structure of medicine brought about crucial changes in the history of abortion; at others, changes in women's lives or the political and economic context came to the fore.
