Roe V. Wade's Argument Against Abortion
Abortion has many different meanings to various people. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy before a fetus is formed. Abortions are most likely to occur before the third trimester. Roe v.

The end result is the same; the mother still gives up having a child. The most important thing to state here is that everyone has certain rights, so why shouldn’t a woman have the right to do what she wants with her body if it is not harming anybody and if the “baby” has not even formed
