For the people in question, yes it could be. But not for all.
I oppose abortion (except for in the case of the life of the mother, because in that scenario two people would die, so saving one is the right choice) because I believe all human beings have one basic right, and that right is the right to life, and it trumps all other rights.
I do not believe anyone has the right to make the choice to take life away from another human being. Hence why I also oppose war, euthanasia and capital punishment. Suicide or doctor-assisted suicide I have no problem with, because if people wish to choose death for themselves, that is their own perogative, but I do not believe in choosing it for someone else unless they have clearly stated (with evidence) that they wish it.
