Some people argue that the fetus becomes a person only after birth or once it reaches a certain level of consciousness or viability outside the womb, which is usually around 24 weeks.
Also, consider this: In cases where the mother's life is in danger, should we prioritize the life of the mother or the unborn child? Or, in cases of severe fetal abnormalities, where the child, if born, would live a life of constant pain and suffering, would it be more humane to allow the option of termination?
I believe that such personal and deeply impactful decisions should be left to the individual, their family, and medical professionals, rather than being legislated by the state. It's also crucial to focus on the root causes of abortion such as lack of access to contraception, comprehensive sex education and economic instability.
What are your thoughts on focusing more resources on prevention methods like contraception and sex education to reduce the need for abortion?
