technically we do know when “life” begins in the womb, but at the same time having an abortion is the better alternative for some people, for example say a very young woman got raped and couldn’t handle a child none the less be able to provide for the child you rather them have the child and let it suffer a miserable life because there “parent” was not able to get an abortion or the right ti there body? there are very many factors that go into this debate.
