Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy before childbirth, effectively resulting in the death of a fetus. It is an extremely controversial topic and is widely split in the middle separating the conflicting views of arguments pro abortion and against abortion.

It’s the same concept only this time everyone views that child as having more rights than a baby in the womb. By undermining a fetus’s human rights, they are being declared as non-human, just like how Hitler declared jews as non-human. But just because something is proclaimed as not being a human, does that make it OK to kill it?
