I once heard someone say "My rights end where yours begin." This is the crux of the abortion matter.
It all depends on if you see the fetus as tissue or a baby. If you choose the former, then it would seem that "no one has the right to tell a woman what to do with her body." However, if you ascribe to the latter philosophy, then it is murder. A mother is choosing to kill her offspring, for whatever reason.
That said, I am pro-Life. Why? Because I believe that the unborn child is a life from the moment of conception. Many people will choose to argue "if it can't live outside the mother than its not a baby." However, even after a child is born, it cannot live without assistance from someone, something.
I don't see birth control failing as an excuse for an abortion. If a woman chooses to have sex, even with birth control, she knows that pregnancy is still a possible outcome, a consequence of the choice.
Abortion is a selfish act; its the antethisis of motherhood, which is selflessness. And when it all comes down to it, the purpose of women is to be mothers. I don't mean barefoot and pregnant, 18 kids with one on the way...I mean the biological purpose of the female gender is to carry a child to further the human race. It makes me very sad to see many women killing another person, a part of themselves.
