At what point does a baby become a human being and by what criteria do you make this judgment? If you cannot decide when, then you are risking killing a person. For many people, abortion is more of an idea than a hard reality, because they avoid the overwhelming horrible truth. An abortion is a medical or surgical procedure that ends a pregnancy, but some define abortion as a violent act that kills an unborn baby. Without any anesthesia, the baby is dismembered, torn apart, and vacuumed out of the mother. In the case of a near-term or partial-birth abortion, the baby is turned around and pulled partially out with its head still inside the mother.

(Head, Tom) If we were able to stop legalized abortion tomorrow, most of the babies saved from abortion would be loved and cared for by their biological or own mother. Those mothers would end up being grateful for their child and glad that they did not have an abortion. There is no doubt that in twenty or so years from now a vast majority of babies saved from abortion will be glad to still be alive. Having an abortion will kill your child; it will kill a human being that just started living. For some people abortion doesn't matter because they are not the ones being slashed open and killed. They are not the ones who don't even know how life is outside their mothers tummy. Babies don't form by themselves, so they should not have to suffer for any know reason.
