 This is ridiculous ." MERO GORU KO BARAI TAKKA" is a saying in Nepali that sums up everything said above. I would think, it should be the right of a women to keep or abort. There should be absolutely no "correct" or "incorrect" things to do regarding this matter....

 Mazzarella did make some useful points . Like some of us considering the baby as just a part of mothers body , which can be wrong sometimes. As mazarella said, baby has its own heartbeat by 5th week , and that embryo circulates its own blood  , which may by different blood group than the mothers. By 16th week, the fetus can control its movement , so I consider the baby as a new life by now. Which some of you may not consider.  Personally, I would not support abortion after this time period.   So watever raju161 posted above, I agree with his points. His posting mentions the fetusof 23 weeks . By this time , the fetus has developed and functioning nervous system and if the baby borns after three weeks later, it can survive.   And as GrgDai said, if gangraped or misconception ( 95% chance as grgdai said) , the mother should be allowed to decide. However, it would be better if the abortion is perfomed early rather than waiting till the baby grows fully. For the rape victim, you can just take oral pills to end pregnancy under health care supervision by first few weeks, and you dont have to go for chopping/sucking the embryo .   What I am trying to point out here is that aborting a baby considering him/her as mother's body just a couple of days before the actual delivery date is simply cruel. It should be destroyed before it is fully developed.

 An analogy of abortion can be made to wars. Noone likes wars because everyone knows that numerous innocent lives will be lost. But there comes a time when war must be waged as a means to your survival, otherwise, the consequence may be even worse. It is like choosing the lesser of the two evil.

It's funny how these extremists come up with arguments. All these so called "christians" force the govt to cut healthcare and medicare and let people who cannot afford health care die. They go around killing lot of innocent people with wars and genocides. And yet they raise hell about unborns. How the fu(k are they ethically or morally right. How is saving a fetus different than saving a senior citizen or a person from another faith, religion etc.  It's one thing to protest abortion in the name of humanity. But why in the hell with religious viewpoints. @mazzarella go and fu(k yourself. Why can't you do stuff for humanity and leave religion aside? And don't ever quote something from stone age (aka moses bible etc). They didn't even know that the earth is just a grain of sand in the universe. If you want to make earth center of universe and disprove evolution then it's your choice. But don't expect people to respect your views if you make such ludicrous comments.   And BTW Hitler did kill people in the name of religion. You can disprove that he was a true christian but again he thought he was. How are you any different than him if you just do what the book tells you to do without using common sense?
