Of course, we should not tell what to do with HER body, however, we must decide when life begins, and when that life-form has rights. In my opinion, as soon as the fetus begins developing, that unborn child has rights.... you are also committing a double murder if you kill a pregnant mother. If you kill an unborn child, in my opinion you are destroying not only religious belief, but also the Constitution which grants us life. What goes on that's even worse is the killing of partially born babies....which our president voted to support.
Now a lot of people say that it should be a woman's choice and all that rhetoric, however if it is acceptable to just abort a baby at one's discretion, and it is wrong to oppose this, the debate should also lead to our views about morality and sex. It just shows how far we've moved away from religious morals and its consequences. People should be held responsible for what they do with their own bodies.
With that said, in cases of rape abortion should always be an option.
