THE ABORTION DEBATE

The abortion debate refers to discussion and controversy surrounding the moral and legal status of abortion.

The two main groups involved in the abortion debate are the pro-choice movement, which generally supports access to abortion and regards it as morally permissible, and the pro-life movement, which generally opposes access to abortion and regards it as morally wrong.

Each movement has, with varying results, sought to influence public opinion and to attain legal support for its position. In Canada, for example, abortion is available on demand, while in Nicaragua abortions are always illegal. In the USA, abortion is generally legal but subject to restrictions is some jurisdictions and circumstances. In some cases, the abortion debate has led to the use of violence.
