    • Against
      • It is wrong to punish a child for it's father's action
      • A young girl is not mature enough to deal with any lasting guilt feelings

      • Life begins at conception, when something uniquely new comes into being
      • The right to autonomy should be limited as in this case the mother is making choices for someone else
