     Life is about choices and so is death, although for many people the choice of life or death is not theirs to make.  The person in question, a fetus, is an innocent, unsuspecting life that did not choose to be given life, nor will or can it choose to die.  That choice of whether to abort or keep, kill or let live, is made solely by the woman carrying that little person.  Abortion is a topic with many controversial sides and arguments, and like many other issues have exceptions.  Although in the case of abortion, there are only some certain, few exceptions that make aborting an unborn child acceptable.  The life of a fetus is special and unique and should be regarded as such, but unfortunately it is considered a burden, a mishap, or just bad luck, and therefore expendable.  Abortion, with only certain exceptions, is morally objectionable due to the immorality of depriving the value of future life, the irresponsibility because of it being used as a form of birth control, and denying the overall will of God.
     In order to concentrate on the main points, it is necessary to first explain what the certain exceptions are when it comes to abortion.

This helps prove that the fetus' life needs to be respected, but the life of the woman, if seriously endangered, needs to be considered first and foremost.  These endangerments are when rape or incest occurs and in turn impregnate the woman, or if the fetus is seriously deformed, will definitely be still born, or if it is infected with some kind of life threatening disease or distortion leading to a severely painful, abnormal life; both of these causing severe mental distress to the woman.  Also, another endangerment is where the woman's life is seriously threatened by the fetus because of medical problems, which would be considered true self-defense.  Medical problems can be physical or extreme, severe mental cases determined by certified doctors.  These are hard reasons in conditional abortion, the acceptance of abortion under certain circumstances (Figueira-McDonough,32).
     "The future of a standard fetus includes a set of experiences, projects, activities, and such which are identical with the futur...
