Against Abortion Lisa Wilson Political Science December 5‚ 2012 I am strongly against abortion and feel that no one has the right to take away another’s life. I do‚ however‚ feel that if the mother’s life is in danger that all of the precautionary steps should be taken to prevent having to use abortion‚ but if that is the only way to save the mother’s life‚ then an abortion should be performed.
