If the woman became pregnant through malignant means, there should be the option for her to get the aborton, there is no debate about it. Those cases would have more negative consequences then if she terminated within the first few weeks. What if an underage girl was assualted and became preganant? She should not be forced to keep the fetus to term. As defined, the fertiilzed egg becomes a fetus after the first nine weeks of pregnany, essentially meaning it is matter within the woman's womb and does not have a brain or conscience, as development occurs during the fetal stage. No life is harmed with an abortion within those first two months.
