Advocating the legal protection of human embryos and fetuses, especially by favoring the outlawing of abortion on the ground that it is the taking of a human life.
The Pro-life stance is taken very seriously by those who some may consider Pro-lifers. Their ideological position opposes abortion on the grounds of the inviolable rights of the fetus as a moral subject. These rights are seen as ‘trumping’ all countervailing considerations claimed by pro-choicers, though there are some differences of opinion on appropriate action in ‘tough cases’ (e.g. where the mother's life is threatened by continuation of the pregnancy).
