Legality Of Abortion

             of an unwanted pregnancy. To do so would be discrimination. But, there are still other people who believe that .
             abortion should be illegal. Some people say that abortion should not be legal because it is murder. Some people .
             interpret the fourteenth amendment differently. They believe that the life and liberty is being denied from the fetus. .
             Although the law has set boundaries on when a fetus should be considered a citizen, there are people who .
             believe that life starts before birth no matter what the law states. I am sure these people wonder why the fetus .
             doesn't have rights as well as the mother. Abortion author Faye Ginsberg states that, never in the history of the .

             Steinbock). The fetus is like a snowflake; there are no two alike. Very shortly after conception the fetus takes on .
             very human characteristics. The fetus thinks, moves, dreams, and feels pain just like you and I.
