'''The most morally and ethically significant point of contention in the abortion debate is the status of the fetus as human or not.''' Indeed, the determining factor for most if not all individuals' opinions on abortion lie in this point; the Pro-Life support the position that these are simply little people, and the Pro-Choice use standards to establish what makes someone a person, to which they say the fetus does not qualify as. If the fetus is a person, then it's murder, and thus abortion is wrong. If the fetus is just a parasite, then it can be dispatched without hesitation.

Indeed, the determining factor for most if not all individuals' opinions on abortion lie in this discussion; the Pro-Life support the position that these are simply little people, and the Pro-Choice use standards to establish what makes someone a person, to which they say the fetus does not qualify. If the fetus is a person, then it's murder, and thus abortion is wrong. If the fetus is just a parasite, then it can be dispatched without hesitation.
When these points are explored, however, it will be decisively revealed that abortion is in fact murder, that the fetus is indeed a small, undeveloped person, and that those that advocate that it is merely a parasite are engaging in a dangerous mindset. With the basis set-it is murder-then the position must be elaborated upon: What makes the fetus a person? but moreover, why is setting standards for humanity a dangerous mindset?
