anti-abortion movement

The anti-abortion movement opposes the practice of terminating pregnancies. It is rooted in the belief that life begins at conception and that unborn children have a right to life. Advocates often promote legal, moral, and religious reasons to preserve fetal life, seeking restrictions or bans on abortion services. The movement also emphasizes support for pregnant women and alternatives like adoption. Its goals vary, but central to it is the view that abortion is morally or ethically unacceptable, shaping legislation, activism, and public policy debates around reproductive rights.
