Abortion is one of the most difficult issues to discuss.

I am opposed to it on moral grounds (the taking of a life), but am reluctantly in favor of keeping it legal.

I understand the argument that no one has the right to tell a woman what to do with her body, in other words, the pro-choice argument.

It's the same argument that people use to argue for the legalisation of drug use, suicide, prostitution, etc.

However, the argument is not the same for abortion (I can do whatever I want with my body because it's my body) because the choice involves the killing of another life.

You can argue when life truly begins, but the fact is that near the end of the second tri-mester, at about 24 weeks the fetus is viable outside of the womb, and abortion is still allowable. Which to me is a crime.
