What Are Abortion Laws?
Abortion is also known as interruption of pregnancy or abortion, intentional termination of pregnancy, removal of embryos or death of the fetus. In China, people generally do not discuss any bioethical aspects of abortion. Many people adopt voluntary abortion in the context of a one-child system, or forced abortion is carried out by relevant departments. And in many countries (especially Western countries) abortion is a controversial behavior, mainly on issues such as morality, religion, female body rights, infant life rights, and male fertility rights.

- Termination of life in the prenatal period after pregnancy, before birth. This may be caused by man or by nature, even though artificial abortion is a matter of moral philosophy. Conservatives or "pro-life" believe that deliberate abortion is not allowed; whereas liberals or "pro-selection" see such behavior in various situations as permissible. Liberal attitudes can even be extended to every situation where mothers wish to have an abortion. They also impose many restrictions on abortion, such as the age of the fetus. The neutral party has imposed restrictions on the circumstances under which abortion is allowed, but the outcome of the debate is not biased towards neutrality. Abortion also involves issues of human nature and the beginning of life; the right to life, the fragile concept of "holy life", the way in which conflicting rights are dealt with, and the politics and society that may propose and implement moral and legal policies problem.
Religious aspects of abortion
- In some countries, the human "soul" is considered to enter the embryo 14 days after the egg is fertilized. At this time, the embryo is "human". Killing the embryo afterwards is equivalent to murder. This is the reason that some European countries ban abortion. But there are many religions in the world, and there are different interpretations of this process. For example, Islam believes that the soul enters the body on the 40th day, and Buddhism believes that as long as the conscience is born, there is life, and if there is no conscience, it will not be pregnant at all. Chinese Confucianism talks about life less and less. [9]
- Generally speaking, the Christian tradition places great emphasis on respect for all human lives, and forbids the intentional or direct killing of the lives of innocent people (including fetuses). Abortion has never been considered a good or a morally neutral act. The godfathers of the ancient church attacked abortion; Clement of Alexandria (c. 140-217) saw abortion as sexually immoral. QSF Tertullian (160-230) blamed abortion to conceal the facts of pregnancy. Although Augustine (354-430) advocated delayed ensoulment, he believed that all abortions (including unborn fetuses) were serious crimes. Thomas Aquinas (circa 1225-1274) also accepted the idea of delayed initiation, but claimed that the felony was committed only when the fetus after the initiation had fallen. Reformers, such as M. Luther (1483-1546), also mentioned that the fetus has a soul; J. Calvin (1509-1564) more directly rebuked abortion as an incompensable sin crime). Seventeenth-century Anglicans and Puritans also regarded abortion as sexually immoral. After the eighteenth century, the church's position changed, and it was believed that when the embryo conceived, it had human life (at least the potential of human life) and must be respected. This position has been the official position of Catholicism today.

Biology of abortion
- Many people mistakenly believe that abortion is a "religious" issue, but it is not. It is a scientific issue, especially a biological issue. To ask when life begins, biologists are the scientific authority, but when we are looking for an answer to this question, we often go to these people last. The conclusion of modern science is very clear: human life begins at conception. This is a scientific fact, not philosophy, speculation, opinion, conjecture, or theory. Today, when life begins at conception, it is a well-documented fact that no scientist or doctor who is rational and honest and knowledgeable can deny it.
- Biologically, it is a scientific fact that two different bodies coexist during pregnancy. One is a woman's own body, and the other is a child. Many pregnant women and their fetuses have different blood types, which shows that they are two different bodies. If a person has two different blood types, this is not medically possible.
Legal aspects of abortion
- Abortion is a big deal in Western countries. Prior to the mid-19th century, although abortion was considered misconduct, most states in the United States allowed it to be performed before. After the mid-19th century, a group of professional surgeons began to promote restrictive abortion legislation. In 1845, Massachusetts was the first state to consider abortion a crime. By 1910, abortion was a felony in all states except Kentucky. Most states require abortions only to save pregnant women's lives. Introducing abortion, providing an abortion, or performing an abortion for another without a surgeon's license is a criminal offence. However, women who have abortions are not punished. [9]
Human aspects of abortion
- The state also has some restrictions on abortion. It is mainly a restriction on the time of abortion, restricting or prohibiting subsequent abortions. These restrictions not only consider the interests of pregnant women, but more importantly, the right to life of the fetus. On the other hand, there are many unmarried pregnant women in Western countries who are willing to give birth to their children. There is no family planning problem, birth registration is not difficult, and people do not regard unmarried pregnant women as a rebellious thing. There is no need to get married or have children, so there are many unmarried moms and unmarried dads. In China, the trouble of having a child from an unmarried relationship is even greater. [9]
