Moral issues of abortion

The topic of abortion is a very controversial subject but there are two sides to it. Most abortions are done in the early stage of development of the fetus and many consider it morally acceptable.In various countries, infants are euthanized as soon as they are born and it is looked down upon as murder. Now here's my question, in what stage of development, is it not considered murder?



There are cases in which the parent is financially unable to care for the child and they resort to abortion. However, i believe that there are more appropriate solutions, such as putting them up for adoption or finding someone who will care for them. I don't have a religious bias against abortion, but more of a moral bias. Why should it be okay to take the life of an infant when there are other solutions to it? Who knows, maybe a child who was aborted could've become a historical figure and had a large impact on society. I'm going to compare this to the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" in which Henrietta was a poor black woman in a time of racial discrimination. She had many children and chose not to abort any of them. In the end, her children watched after her when she had fatal cancer. There have been cases in which women who had abortions, couldn't deal with the guilt of taking their child's life and were driven insane. I find that abortion is morally unjust and there are better solutions to it. Then again, these are just my thoughts........ whats your opinion on this?
