The heart begins to beat after 22 days but this doesn't mean it can think and breathe. You need a brain and nervous system to think and lungs to breath. The foetus can breathe after 10/11 weeks

I am pro choice. There are times when I am against abortion but I still believe it is a woman's choice of what she does.

I think abortion should be legal to prevent women dying from back alley abortions.

I disagree with abortion is when it is used as contraception or when the baby is planned and then aborted for having a disability. When I say disability I mean a minor ones like a cleft palate and things like that.
If the disability/disease is very severe ones like If the baby will die a day after birth and suffer for that whole day then I would agree with abortion.

I am against late term abortions, I believe once the baby can survive without the mothers support then abortion is wrong. Usually this is 18 - 20 weeks. Also I have learnt that a nervous system is fully developed at 12 weeks which is when the foetus can fully feel pain. I personally would feel uncomfortable getting an abortion after this time.

This is my source for my biology facts http://www.nrlc.org/abortion/facts/f...velopment.html
It is a Pro life website but from what I can tell this is fact. I have learnt this in my A level biology and Religious Studies and it is in my text books, I double checked to make sure the source isn't bias.
