Generally speaking, the term abortion debate refers to the contested struggles the Moral, Legal and Constitutional aspects of abortion. The debate is primarily composed of two competing perspectives which are expressed by the groups involved in the abortion debate are the self-described "pro-choice" movement (emphasizing the right of women to choose whether they wish to bring an embryo or fetus to term) and the self-described "pro-life" movement (emphasizing the right of the embryo or fetus to be born). Both of these are considered loaded terms in general media where terms such as "abortion rights" or "anti-abortion" are preferred.[1] Each movement has, with varying results, sought to influence public opinion and to attain legal support for its position, with some anti-abortion advocates even going as far as using violence.
