Life is a right for every one either born or unborn. In today`s world t people have turned to abortion to hide their promiscuity. They feel unborn child is not human enough to live. The scientific world with enough knowledge that life starts at conception still supports abortion. The effects of abortion are not only restricted to the mother but also to the society as a whole.
