Extract

After reading many positions on abortion, I have come to the conclusion that a fetus is a person and the right to life of a fetus outweighs that of a woman's right to bodily integrity. Hence, that abortion is immoral. Supporters arguments are that a fetus has no right to life at all based on the belief that is does not meet a set of criteria for personhood. Therefore, a woman may choose to abort at anytime during her pregnancy. Some may say that a woman's right to bodily integrity outweighs a fetus' right to life. I wish to expose the fallibility of these arguments.
