I personally believe that abortion should be illegal. I have believed this my whole life, and my feeling will never change. A lot of people say it is because of my religious background, and maybe they are partly right, but not fully. I have many of reasons to why I think abortion is wrong.

After 40 days, brain waves can be detected. At eight weeks, the toes and fingers are formed. At just 18 weeks, the baby can move on his or her
