Description

I am against abortion after the first signs of neural activity. After that abortion should be illegal as long as there is a foster care system (not forcing the mother to take care of the child after birth) and unless the pregnancy is life threatening to the mother.

I believe it is murder, and murder should be illegal unless under certain circumstances, such as self defence (in this case the fetus threatening the mothers life).
