Induced abortion

[Tracie Lynn]

An act of willfully [terminating] the progress of biological development from between the time after conception of a new biological life-form and before its birth or exposure to unassisted life, via chemical or physical means.
Cultural ethics issue: Within the United States of America much debate flows from the issue of whether abortion is considered wrong due to the termination of what already is or could be considered a human individual by its mother/[carrier].
[Pro-Choice] [activism] originates from the philosophy that a pregnant individual and carrier of a fetus has the fundamental right to decide what happens to their body system and any life-form that it supports.
[Pro-Life] activism originates from the philosophy that an individual fetus is in fact, human, and possesses basic human rights;also, the pregnant carrier of such fetus (or human individual) does not have the right to determine if its existence should be terminated.
The answer to the debate about this issue comes down to the question of: When does a genetically human life-form become considered an individual and [possessor] of basic human rights?
