The center for the pro-choice and pro-life debate is about human rights: the right to life of the fetus or the woman's right to control her own body by choosing whether to carry a pregnancy to term. The debaters of each group argue about the position they support by providing rationales and justifications about when they believe life begins. This discussion will have you presenting your side of the debate and support your rationale as well as what your role is as a nurse.
