Abortion

Everyday there are pregnant mothers who abuse drugs and alcohol totally ignoring the living, growing person inside them. Then, when these children are born, they are usually born with a drug addiction or birth defects which sometimes leads to death. One thing's for sure, these children's lives are greatly complexed before they even reach the light of day. Which leads to my position that the rights of the child should be extended to the unborn. …

…rights to an animal that will most likely not have any effect on anyone's life, why can't we give rights to an unborn child who will have an influence on many people thoughout his or her life. Obviously there will still be many mothers who will not be caught using drugs while pregnant, but if we could save just one child from a life of total dependency and misery, then it would be worth while.
