Abortion is an increasingly controversial subject, with many strong beliefs on both sides of the debate.
Those in favour often state that it is a woman's right to choose what happens to her body. Those against often see it as the murder of an unborn child, sometimes citing moral or even religious reasons for their beliefs.
Are you "pro-choice" or "pro-life"?
Many "pro-lifers" believe that from the moment of conception, the zygote is a new life. Medically, it is not considered such until about 10 days later when implantation occurs and the zygote attaches to the wall of the uterus. Most Physicians and "pro-choicers" consider this to be the start of pregnancy.
Others believe that a new life has not really been created until either around 4 days after this, when the embryo is formed or around 8-9 weeks later, when the embryo becomes a fetus.
At what stage in this process has a new human life been created and at what stage is it no longer acceptable to terminate the pregnancy?
