Firstly, only a tiny percentage of abortions originate from rape or incest - even so, do you think it's ok to punish the child for the crime of the parent? least of all, kill it as punishment? Also, if rape or incest was the case, there are options, other than murder, available to the mother, such as giving the baby up for adoption. There are thousands of couples on waiting lists hoping to raise a child in love and understanding.

Secondly, the baby is not part of the woman's body, the baby is inside her body, it has a different DNA, it has a different heart beat, it has different dreams - and yes, babies dream and feel pain and make decisions, such as moving away from the needle when the mum gets tested at around 4mnnths to check for the health of the baby.
