Recognize that the fetus is not a parasite to be detached from the mother's body. Rather, it is a living human being that has intrinsic value. If a cell on some other planet qualifies as alien life, there ought to be no question that a group of cells in a mother's womb is human life. Not only is abortion murder of a living being, it is a detriment to mankind's existence. Studies have shown that abortion leads to increased sexually transmitted diseases through "removing" the "consequence" of pregnancy and childbirth. One of these diseases is HIV.
However, there are cases where abortion is necessary, such as instances of rape and when the life of the mother is at risk.
