me: *trips on a stair*
me: oh my god. i could have died. my life could have ended, right here, right now, on the cold linoleum floor of this highschool. my entire future and past, just gone. every person i ever met or will meet would have been affected, positively or negatively. every grade i would have gotten goes ungraded. every piece of pizza, gone uneaten. what if i saved someone's life? pushed someone out the way of a moving truck? they will be dead because i am dead. what See More if i fall in love? maybe they will never find someone else? what if they become depressed? what if they kill themselves? bam, another life ended because of mine. the chaos theory is truly cold, heartless, and uncaring, and only knows cause and effect
friend: you didn't even fall
me: you can shut up

(this veritable essay is not meant to dehumanize any pro-life people, nor is it meant to start any fight beyond debating. i know its long but its a pretty good read)
1. A fetus is not a human being, it cannot survive on its own. It is dependent on it's mother for everything. Does that sound like a living human? Even if a fetus was alive, the "right to life" doesn’t imply a right to use somebody else’s body. People have the right to refuse to donate their organs, for example, See More even if doing so would save somebody else’s life.
The "right to life" also doesn’t imply a right to live by threatening somebody else's life. Bearing children is always a threat the life of the mother.
2. The "Adoption is always an alternative to abortion" argument implies that the only reason a woman would want to get an abortion is to avoid raising a child, and that isn’t the case. Depending on the circumstances, the mere act of having a child in a hospital can cost between $3,000 and $37,000 in the United States. Giving birth is dangerous, too: In the United States, pregnancy complications are the sixth most common cause of death for women between the ages of 20 and 34. Even before birth, there are costs to pregnancy. In addition to the whole "carrying another human being around in your stomach for nine months" thing, many women, particularly teens, are shunned and shamed for their pregnancies — not only by friends, families, employers, and classmates, but also by advertisements in the subway. There's also the risk of violent retribution from abusive partners and parents.
3. Women would NOT use abortion as a form of birth control. Contraceptives are readily available, cheap, easy to apply, and MUCH less painful, emotionally taxing, and time consuming. So why would a woman choose abortion over a contraceptive? The sad fact is, many women and girls do not receive adequate sex education, and do not know any other method. Another easy abortion fix.

4. When performed by trained professionals, abortions are one of the safest procedures in medicine, with a death rate of less than .01 percent. The risk of dying while giving birth is roughly 13 times higher. Abortions performed by people without the requisite skills and training, however, are extremely unsafe. An estimated 68,000 women die every year from back alley abortions, which are generally most common when abortion is illegal and/or inaccessible.
If you’d like to examine See More the health impact of banning abortion, consider Romania, which banned abortions in 1966. That policy remained in place for just under fifteen years, during which time over 9,000 women died from unsafe abortions, and countless others were permanently injured. That’s around two women dying every day. When the policy was reversed, maternal mortality rate plummeted to one-eighth of what it was at its peak under the no-abortion policy.
The negative health effects of prohibiting abortion don’t end with the mothers. Romania's abortion ban sparked a nationwide orphan crisis, as roughly 150,000 unwanted newborns were placed in nightmarish state-run orphanages. Many of those orphans now suffer from sever mental and physical health problems, including autism, reduced brain size, schizoaffective disorder, and sociopathy.
When abortion is illegal, it becomes exponentially more unsafe for both women and their children. You may not like the fact that women will seek abortions even when they’re illegal, but it is undeniably a fact nonetheless.

5. While it is true that some women regret their abortions, do you really think there should be laws preventing other people doing things that they might later regret? Imagine if you procrastinated your essay, you might really really regret that but do you wish there was a law against procrastinating?
6. "Taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay for things they find morally disagreeable." By that rationale, America also shouldn’t have a military, since that’s funded by taxes, See More and many taxpayers find American foreign policy morally disagreeable. Also, the Hyde Amendment prevents most public funds from going toward abortions. But that’s a moot point, because these are two separate arguments. Believing that abortion should be legal doesn’t require you to also believe that taxpayer dollars should fund abortions.
7. "What if your mother had aborted you?" Well, if I’d never come into existence in the first place, I probably wouldn’t have any strong feelings on the matter.
In summary:
A "right to life" doesn't imply a right to use someone else's body to sustain a life.
Women do not have a "responsibility" to have children, and certainly don't assume such a responsibility by virtue of deciding to have sex.
Outlawing abortion is very dangerous, both for women and their children.
Adoption still requires women to carry a baby to term and then give birth, both of which are also inherently dangerous.
Abortions, on the other hand, are quite safe.
Banning abortion violates a woman's right to control her own body.
