The Debate over Abortion

Pro-life advocates: the baby's right to life

Pro-choice advocates: the woman's right to freedom of choice

"These fundamental differences in perception of the key right involved in the abortion debate colors the way the two sides support their respective positions. Invariably the two sides begin their defense and focus it around either the baby's right to life as a person or the woman's right to freedom of choice. . . We begin with the question of personhood, not because we are unaware of or uncaring about a woman's right to control her body, but because we believe that right cannot outweigh a person's right to life."
