From the Paper:

"1. First Advantage: Foetus should not be considered a person.
Abortion should not be viewed as the killing of an individual because the foetus cannot be regarded as a person, especially in the case of the relatively early fetus (Callahan, 1990, p. 681). Technological advances have led to early termination of pregnancies, which helps in alleviating psychological trauma and angst (Reibstein, 1998, p. 66). In fact, newer forms of abortion methods, such as the abortion pill, RU-486, and a surgical technique using the vaginal ultrasound, can terminate pregnancy less than 2 weeks after conception (Reibstein, 1998, p. 67)."
