As surprising as this may be to some people, there is no debate within the medical community as to when life begins. Life begins at conception. Therefore, every "successful" abortion ends the life of a living human being.
One of the mantras of abortion advocates is "Every Child a Wanted Child". It sounds noble enough, until you realise what their solution to unwantedness is. If a child isn't wanted, they argue, then it shouldn't be born. The problem, of course, is that the child is already conceived, and the only way to keep said child from being born is to kill it. How do they justify such violence? Often by arguing that it is better for the child to be dead than for the child to be unwanted.
Since abortion is impossible to justify on the merits (it kills a living human being, remember), "choice" has become the foundation of its political justification. Abortion advocates don't want to talk about facts or science, but they love to talk about "choice". "It’s my body. My choice!"
There are four basic ways that the embryo or foetus (who is not protected under the law) is different from a newborn baby (who is protected under the law).
