Problems with most of "ten reasons against abortion"
I'm not sure that the recent addition of a list of ten arguments is all that encyclopaedic, and some of the reasons themselves are a bit shaky. The first part of No. 5 doesn't even make sense to me. Nos. 1 and 2, as worded, make no distinction between abortion and capital punishment, a self-defence killing, etc. They are poorly worded. For No. 3, I don't think it's fair to say that adoption achieves the ''same'' result, although ''similar'' might be okay. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 23:02, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

== Problems with most of "ten reasons against abortion" ==
1-2: Both these reasons accept the statement "humanity begins at conception" as an undisputed fact. Because it is disputed, you must prove it before using it.
3: Just because adoption works, abortion is not necessarily bad, what if a woman simply did not want to go through childbirth?
4: Even if abortion does have some negative health effects, it does not mean it should be illegal. We allow alcohol despite negative health effects.
6: This is an opinion, not a fact.
7: Women already ''can'' have control over their bodies through birth control and abstinence.
8: Many Americans oppose the Iraq War. Does that make funding it with tax dollars immoral?
