Abortion: Pro

A positive aspect of abortion is that it allows a woman to handle her own actions and decisions, which she is entitled to as part of her civil liberties. If she chooses not to have a child, then it is her private matter and subject to her own actions. One could view any interruption of this by any unnecessary outside parties as an infringement upon her Constitutional rights, and hence unlawful. The arguement is that abortion is murder, but a murder is only valid when exercised upon a person, and under the Fourteenth Amendment, only a creature with capacity for logic is considered a person, which embodies all post-natal humans. Because a fetus, though alive, is not capable of logical thought, it is not yet a person, and hence cannot be lawfully murdered. To deny this would lead one to consider that cutting down a sapling is murder, for a tree is a living thing, lacking a thought-process.
