Abortion is a moral right which should be left to the discretion of the woman involved. Morally, nothing other than the mother’s wish is to be considered. Who else has the right to tell her what she is supposed to make of the functions of her own body? A child cannot gain any rights until it is born, so the mom chooses if the embryo has the right or not to live. The question of abortion involves much more than a pregnancy. It is also a question of the entire life of the parents. Being a parent is an enormous responsibility; it is an IMPOSSIBLE responsibility for young people who are ambitious and struggling. Some of these parents are not intelligent and conscientious enough because they abandon their child on a doorstep or give them in adoption. For these young parents, pregnancy is practically a death sentence. They are forced to give up their future and to become slaves of a child’s physical and financial needs. Some cases are even worse, like when an unwed mother is left alone with her child. I cannot quite imagine the state of mind of a person who would wish to condemn a fellow human being to such a horror. Procreation is not a duty; human beings are not stock-farm animals. For conscientious people, an unwanted child may change the path of their life. To oppose an unwanted pregnancy is to support sacrifice for the only purpose of prohibiting happiness and fulfillment of human beings.

I do agree with you, this is totally a moral right that I truelly defend and feel the same as you. Although I disagree with the part that the embryo, fetus, or unborned baby does not have rights. Since the second they are concepted they have rights because they are alive. Is immoral to kill a human been that has done nothing wrong, afterall being pregnant is only the parents fault because they were not precatious.
