Abortion

Do fetuses have a right to life? – Yes
I think that a fetus is just a small person. I do not believe in people playing God and determining which people can be born and which people can’t. I believe that all people have a right to life, but I also believe that you can lose that right (capital punishment)…but that’s another story.
I feel strongly about this because I believe that sex is meant for reproduction. I believe that people should have sex with their significant other after they are married. If this happened, we would not even have this argument because people would want their children.
I understand that some people get raped, but why should the person who results from that (the baby) be denied life?
I guess my main argument is that a fetus has not done anything to deny him or herself the right to life, which all people have.
I do not think life starts at birth. The fetus is a living person. Some people may use the argument that it is dependent on the mother; therefore it can not be said to have life. But, what about people on life support? Are they alive?
