Pro-life arguments do not just remain stagnant with society, but the religious world also has their belief heard. In terms of organizations the "Catholics know the Catholic church forbids abortion" This may be true but the Catholic church has a history of dealing with the issue of abortion, "Church teaching on abortion has varied continually over the course of its history. There has been constant general agreement that abortion is almost always evil and sinful, the church has had difficulty in defining the nature of that evil. Members of the Catholic hierarchy have opposed abortion consistently as evidence of sexual sin, but they have not always seen early abortion as homicide."

      Abortion being a subject of perception allows itself to belief. Just as religion people believe either abortion is right or it is wrong. Abortion is by some people and some groups, both religious and not, as an act of murder, but then arises a question, when does life being? In what trimester does life begin? What constitutes life? Is it legs, feet, hands some human form, or is it knowledge, reason, wisdom? According to Merriam-Webster OnLine life is "the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body." With such a vague definition of life then how can we say that abortion is wrong, and that it is murder? It is here where the views of the pro-choice advocates take precedence.

      Pro-choice advocates "quote United States and state law, both of which do not consider the fetus a person. The pro-choice position is based on the belief that it is a woman's fundamental human right to decide when or whether to have a child. They also believe that women should have the right to the most statistically and scientifically accurate comprehensive and unbiased information" (Lowenstein, 52). The pro-choice argument can be extended farther, "that a woman's right to control her body overrides any claim made by the fetus." (Cannold, 21). The pro-choice argument is more liberal in that it is not judging a woman for the choice that she will make, and is allowing a woman, or a family, decide whether it is a good time or a bad time to have a child, which is the fear of pro-life advocates.

      The pro-choice approach to abortion is that the fetus is no a human being or a citizen of the world and as such has no rights. The only being that has right is the woman. There are some religions that incorporate the pro-choice view of abortion, but they are sects of some of the main religions like Catholicism, and Judaism. To say that the woman holds all the rights and control of the fate of the fetus is to say that there is not potentiality in the fetus and so it has not rights. It is also to say that even if the fetus did have rights it is the woman's painful undertakings that are held in higher regard than that of an unborn, unknowing fetus.
