In addition, to the fact that abortions kill innocent human beings, anti-abortionists believe that they also damage the mental, as well as physical condition of the mother. Since, after an abortion a mother is more susceptible to breast cancer, and to periods of depression . In the case of congenital defects, the pro-life activists argue that such indications of a disease, do not guarantee that the child will be born into a life of suffering . They believe that through love, and guidance anyone with any form of deformity or disease, can lead a normal life . The cases pertaining to rape, also have different anti-abortionists views . Many anti-abortionists believe that the child can actually help the mother get through the turbulent times in her life, by providing each other with a loving environment. Finally, in the case of economics, the pro-life activists believe that having an abortion due to financial reasons, is ridiculous. Because, it doesn't mean that the child will have a life full of isolation and depression. The pro-life activists argue that there are also numerous welfare programs for such families. .
             However, the pro-choice or the activists for abortions, argue that if a family is in a state of financial trouble, then abortion should be a viable option . Otherwise, the child would be born into a life of suffering, and inadequate living conditions. The pro-choice believers, bases their beliefs, upon the fact that having an abortion is the inalienable right of women (nelson 8). They believe that by outlawing abortions, women aren't allowed to practice their freedom of privacy. In a way, women are being denied their constitutional rights. Many pro-choice activists also state that abortion is justifiable, because at the time of fertilization the ensuing embryo is not yet a human being . It is not a human being, but a potential one. Therefore, its death does not constitute a murder.
