The basis for "pro life" (anti-abortion) thinking stems from the idea that while a fetus is not yet born, it is still a living being and you are taking a life. Some even go as far to suggest that abortion is murder. Pro life thinkers believe that often times the decision to abort is made by inexperienced teens who do not know what they are doing, and are not capable of making an educated choice. They think that it's possible to take away societal contributions that could potentially be made by the unborn baby. For all the woman knows her child could cure cancer or be the next Einstein.
Not only does abortion take away from society, it also takes away from the rights of the unborn fetus. In the Constitution we are all guaranteed the right to life, liberty, and property, but by aborting an innocent baby we are taking away these inherent rights.
Lastly, abortion is also a danger to the woman who chooses to follow through with it. The choice to get an abortion can come with major health consequences as well as the potential to lose her fertility. The woman must risk her own health and future child bearing potential to terminate her pregnancy with an abortion. There are also many psychological effects after getting an abortion. Pro life thinkers believe that the woman could feel extreme guilt for her decision to abort, and also lose the approval of the child's father. Since abortion is such a controversial issue making the choice to abort also could lead to disapproval by family members or friends, leaving the woman with no support network after the procedure.
