Pro-life for Life
Abortion has been a highly debated topic throughout our society for several decades now. The debates typically revolve around two separate sides of abortion.

The realization of abortion is that there is an abundance of factors and variables that point out that abortion is not the proper form of action to take.
The first argument surrounding the decision for pro-life is the fact that this embryo that is being destroyed, is a human being and thus it is technically murdering someone. Indeed they are, and contemporary human embryology and developmental biology leave no significant room for doubt about it. The adult human being reading these words was, at an earlier stage of his or her life, an adolescent, and before that an infant. At still earlier stages

In the infant, fetal, and embryonic stages, each of us was then what we are now, namely, a whole living member of the species Homo sapiens. Each of us developed by a gradual, unified, and self-directed process from the embryonic into and through the fetal, infant, child, and adolescent stages of human development, and into adulthood, with his or her determinateness, unity, and identity fully intact (George & Lee, 2005). There is a discrepancy amongst the idea of when personhood is developed during pregnancy,and individuals who support pro-life suggest that due to the fact that there may be a gray area then fatal actions like abortion can not be taken. From the moment that the fetal process begins, this embryo has a different genetic makeup than its mother or father, thus it is its own person (George & Lee, 2005). There may be arguments that suggest that even though this embryo is technically something that is living, it does not mean that it has become a human yet. This comment seems to be consistent with the definition of an opinion and
