What makes abortion so controversial in today's society? Abortion is so controversial because they are many varying viewpoints that come from a wide variety of sources. The biggest issue with abortion is determining when an embryo or fetus becomes a human being.

In times like this questions arise to the couple or to the mother herself such as; how can I adequately take care of this child?

The church agrees with geneticists that once a sperm and ovum unite forming an embryo consisting of 46 chromosomes, the fetus is a human being. Those arguing against conception as the conversion into being a human being, say that because the fetus does not have intelligence or free will it is not considered a human being. Even the church says that characteristics of a human being include having intelligence and free will.
