Gordon's Arguments Against Abortion

The day a mother gives birth is one of the happiest days of her life. The happiness of the new baby fills the room and brightens the family’s day. Some women do not get this experience, because they decide to have an abortion instead. Abortion is where a mother kills the fetus inside of her womb.
