| Abortion is a moral right—which should be left
to the sole discretion of the woman involved; morally, nothing other
than her wish in the matter is to be considered. Who can conceivably
have the right to dictate to her what disposition she is to make
of the functions of her body? |

Abortion Rights are
Pro-Life
by Leonard Peikoff
Roe V. Wade Anniversary Still Finds Defense of the Right to Abortion Compromised.
Abortion:
An Absolute Right by the Association for Objective Law
Despite Roe v. Wade's ruling giving women the right to abortion,
the Court reached this decision by balancing a woman's rights against the
State's 'interests' in her health and in that of potential life. As long
as the right to abortion may be overridden by any 'state interests,' however,
a woman has no right to do with her body as she sees fit.
Supreme Court Should
Protect Right to Abortion in Current Partial-Birth Case
by Glenn Woiceshyn
Anti-abortionists are making a comeback. A woman's right to abortion is
rapidly being eroded by the proliferation of state laws banning certain
types of abortions.
Anti-Abortion
"Pro-Life" Movement is Anti-Life by Christian Beenfeldt
The "pro-life" movement is not a defender of human life--it is, in fact,
a profound enemy of actual human life and happiness. Its goal is to turn
women into breeding mares whose body is owned by the state and whose
rights, health and pursuit of happiness are sacrificed en mass.
The Religious Right's
Culture of Living Death by Alex Epstein
Human life is sacred--not because of supernatural declaration, but
because of the unique nature and glorious potential of the individual,
rational human life: to think, to create, to love, to experience
pleasure, to achieve happiness here on earth.
Abortion is Not
Murder: So-Called "Pro-Life Movement" is Anti-Human by
Christian Beenfeldt
An embryo is not a human being, and abortion is not murder. The
"pro-life" movement is not a defender of human life--it is, in fact, a
profound enemy of actual human life and happiness.
Abortion: When do rights
begin? by Andrew Lewis
The issue of abortion does center on the question of where rights begin,
which is when a human being does exist, not when it might.
Pharmaceutical Butchers
of Beijing by Michelle Malkin
Forced abortions in China are a violation of a woman's right to her body.
The Abortion Pill: Birth
Control the Hard Way by Andrew Lewis
While the FDA's delayed approval of the "Abortion Pill" RU-486 (which will
be sold in America as mifepristone), is generally a good sign for the recognition
of abortion rights, the conditions that the FDA has placed on its use raise
serious concerns about the government's willingness to intervene in a woman's
pregnancy.
A Physician Comments
on Abortion and the Morning After Pill by Richard Parker
Anti-abortionists often claim that the fetus is a human being and, although
within and part of the mother, it has individual rights. A consistent application
of this view essentially makes the act of abortion an act of murder.
