I was recently at a friend’s house for dinner and we got into an interesting debate about the morality of abortion. My friend had a very strong opinion against it, while I was more open-minded to both sides of the argument.

My friend began by expressing her own personal experiences with abortion and how she felt that it is wrong in all cases. She talked about how she felt personally violated after having an abortion done at a young age and how it made her feel as if she didn’t have any real control over what was happening to her body. She explained that this feeling only elevated when she learned more about fetal development and realized how much potential there is within just a few short weeks of pregnancy.
