Life does not begin at conception, it continues. When you follow that argument you are giving more value to a fetus than a woman. To you a female fetus has more rights than a full grown woman. Have you ever seen a pregnant teen carry her pregnancy to term and then be forced to give her baby up for adoption after she became attached to it? Better bone up on some obstetrics, watch a woman give birth and find out what it involves. Affordable, effective contraceptives will prevent abortions but you are probably against them. Too many children cause poverty and all that it leads to.  Late term abortions occur at 24 weeks only if the fetus is abnormal or a risk to the mother. A full term pregnancy is 40 to 42 weeks long. At 8 to 9 months, pregnancies are induced not aborted and those are births not abortions. 90% or more abortions occur in the early part of the first trimester. Women do not abort to have fun, it is a painful decision and totally theirs.
