Church paper, not school paper. If someone doesn't want to be pregnant, then they should be able to get an abortion, if it's not third term. After 30 weeks, abortions are done for medical necessity.
Practically everything so-called pro-lifers say is pious fraud or irrelevant. An abortion during early pregnancy are safer than pregnancy and birth. Lungs, fingernail, heartbeat, hair, feet, none of those things determine personhood. When a person has a lung or heart transplant, it's not like that person ceases to exist, and the heart donor continues to live. There are people without fingernails, feet, or hair. Personhood comes from the brain, specifically the cerebral cortex and thalamus, when don't develop until the 30th week.
So your church is trying to train you to lie to people to convince them not to have a medical procedure that they want. A decision they've made to take responsibility for their situation.
If you need to write the paper, then do so without the "pro-life" fraudulence. Maybe your paper could be about someone at 26 weeks, and you're argument is that maybe they've been pregnant a month longer than they realized. There's certainly an argument for having a 4-6 week period where you err on the side of fetal personhood.
Ask the "teacher" when you are going to write a paper trying to talk someone out of having their kidney stones removed.

Biology 101: "The life of an individual organism of any sexually reproducing species begins at the moment of fertilization". A woman doesn't know she is pregnant until her son or daughter has been alive for at least 5 to 6 weeks. Therefore, abortion is the premeditated murder of a human being.

Science does not know what life is, let alone when it begins. The religious say it begins at, or very shortly after conception. I.e., a soul enters the zygote. So, they consider abortion to be murder, as the soul is denied the opportunity to continue.
It's pretty much that simple.

God hates hands that shed innocent blood (v17) and he will avenge his murdered little ones
Pro 6:16 ¶ These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Pro 6:17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Pro 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
===============
Pro 31:8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
ensure justice for those being crushed.
Pro 31:9 Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless,
and see that they get justice.

Abortion should be legalized, but the negative aspects of abortion should be checked

"Let's keep abortion safe, legal, and rare."
That's essentially my view on it.

Abortion is immoral and should be made illegal. No-one should decide who lives and who dies.
