Should the government stop abortions?

If you don't want to value the life it has, well, that's your opinion, but you can't deny the life that's there.

I'll agree to disagree with you about when life should be valued, but there's no reason to say that it's not alive.

Why should I value the almost non existant amount of life it has? I don't value the life of the bacteria I kill when I wash my face, and neither do you. It seems to me you're making an exception here because of your beliefs. The fetus certainly has potential to surpass the value of the bacteria in this case, but regardless they are on similar levels when making the important decision. If there are benefits for aborting the unborn, it is absurd not to.

Obviously abortion is something we want to avoid, but it should definitely not be banned. Abortion debates are pointless, IMO. People fight abortion on religious grounds, which is not nearly stable enough to win on. It's an udderly useless debate really...abortion isn't going anywhere.
