Abortion is a word heard around the world. Do people know what it actually means? Abortion is a procedure to take out the embryo so that it does not turn into a fetus. Which is okay‚ but what really is disturbing is Partial-birth abortion which is a procedure where it is a fetus already and the medical surgeon kills the fetus and then takes it out.
