So, it follows logically, that a person isn't considered alive until brain activity commences- at around 12 weeks (or the end of the first trimester.) The potential for life is there, there's just no spark to begin it yet. The consideration here, is that the girls who are the majority of the problem (the idiots who spread their legs and just screw around without caring) are the ones most likely to take the abortion process into their own hands... whether the legal practice is outlawed or not. And that is really bad.
There is a flaw with your logic! First when brain activity stops there never will be any activity again, but with a child a baby the activity hasn't started yet but it will. Abortion is killing a life that has yet to be given a chance to life.

As you can tell I am against killing babies but I also feel it is not my right or duty to force my beliefs on others. If you want to kill babies it is something you have to live with.
