The termination of pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo from the womb before it can survive on its own is called abortion. Nowadays, abortion is so common that more than forty percent of all women will perform abortion at some time of their reproductive lives. While this numbers are scary, what is more troublesome is that several countries support this dreadful act. Society is now considering this act of murder each day more normal, and position the mother 's rights before the baby´s rights. Killing an adult is no different than killing a fetus, both are genetically unique and were made by God. Abortion should be illegal because it unjustly takes innocent lives, insults and violates Christian values, and inflicts pain and illnesses on …show more content…

Sadly, this right is violated when performing abortion. People who support abortion say that the fetus in the womb is not considered a human being yet, so it does not kill or harm anyone. “In fact, unborn babies probably feel pain more intensely than adults. This is a uniquely vulnerable time since the pain system is fully established, yet the higher level pain-modifying system has barely begun to develop.” (Ranalli) The babies inside the womb feel pain, they are no different than an already born baby or an adult. “Beginning development of the brain, spinal cord, heart, and gastrointestinal tract stats by week 3 [...] By week 8, everything that is present in an adult human is now present in the small embryo.” (American Pregnancy Association) The heart of the fetus starts beating very early in the pregnancy. “An embryo 's heart begins to beat around the eighteenth to twenty-fourth day after conception.” (Tanner) Pro-choice defenders also say that it is the woman 's right to choose to have the baby or not, forgetting the baby 's rights. The life of a human being begins at the moment of conception, and it is not the fetus´s fault if the mother wasn 't ready to have a baby or if the situation in which baby was conceived wasn 't ideal. For example, if the baby is conceived by rape, the baby should not pay the consequences of other people, he or she has not done anything wrong .”Compassion for the mothers is extremely important, but it is never …show more content…

Although it does not have the specific word, there are several verses relevant to the topic .For example, in Jeremiah 1:4-5, it states that before God formed you in the womb, he knew exactly what your purpose in life would be. If this is true, this means that God has a plan for all unborn babies, he even has a purpose for the babies who are aborted. . If you abort your child, you are altering God 's plan for the baby, and prohibiting the human growing inside of you to see the world for himself or herself. Also, abortion is wrong because it is murder, which God is completely against with. In Exodus, God gives Moses the Ten Commandments. One of the commandments clearly says that murder is erroneous, never acceptable. What this means is that abortion is considered a sin, because it is murdering a human life. Proverbs 6:16-19, states that God hates seven things, one of them being the shedding of innocent blood, which in a way can be referred to

If a mother finds out that giving birth to her child could cause her death, she should have the option to abort the fetus. It’s never an easy decision, but the option should be available. Circumstances that would make a women need to get an abortion to save her life are severe infections, heart failure and severe cases of preeclampsia (high risk for stroke). Again, as John Locke said “being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions. ”[1] Taking away the option to get an abortion from a woman whose life is on the line because of the fetus she is carrying, is harming her right to life and health.

The debate around abortion is one that has led political headlines for decades. Many people view abortion as immoral because it is the destruction of an individual. Others argue that an unborn child is not yet an individual, so abortion is acceptable during the early stages of pregnancy. Compromises on this thought often revolve around the point at which an embryo or fetus becomes a human person. If an unborn child is not yet a person, then it has no moral status, and abortion would be acceptable.

“They base this argument on the fact that they consider the fetus as human; therefore, killing potential people not only is it wrong but also illegal. In addition, there is the argument on fetal rights; that is, since the fetus is a potential human then human rights apply.” (Karakoulaki, M., 2012) Not only do these individuals who advocate for pro-life believe that abortion is murder, but they also believe that the act of terminating a pregnancy puts the prospective mother in danger of health issues. “Connecting abortion with psychological illnesses and even breast cancer; arguments that that have no scientific base.”

Abortion is the deliberate and direct killing of a human in the womb, and a human person is an and organism with homosapien DNA in all its cells. “Fetus” is merely term to describe the stage of development in the womb. If you are to agree that “killing a human person without justification” should not be allowed you must, therefore, agree aborting a fetus should not be allowed because, it unjustifiably kills a human person. There are no differences between a one celled human and a full-grown human that justify killing the one celled human. Secondly, there are no sufficient reasons to suggest that even after granting humanhood, abortion can be justified.

(Sims-2013) Being pro-choice, one would argue that they should have a choice whether or not to have a baby; I would assert the mother should have thought about the risk or situation before making the choice that resulted in the conception of the child. Abortion at any stage and development is murder, as the fetus is a viable human being as proven biologically and affirmed by federal and state laws. Murder, death, and life respectively.

In fact, it is proven that babies can feel pain during an abortion. I believe abortions should be outlawed, as they are unethical for many reasons. One of the reasons abortion should be illegal is because human life does not start once a person is born, nor when the heart starts beating, but at conception. After conception, the baby grows and develops for about nine months, but this does not mean the baby is any less human than anyone else. In addition, it has been proved repeatedly that human life starts at conception.

Abortion should be illegal after one month of being pregnant. The number one cause for people getting an abortion is because it isn’t the right time, that to me is stupid because they knew that there was a chance that getting pregnant could happen. If a girl got raped I understand her wanting to get an abortion, but as Frank Pavon said in his article, “Rape and Abortion”, “Will and abortion help her? First of all the abortion will not un-rape the woman. The tragedy has happened and nothing can change the past.

However, in most cases it is the embryo that is aborted and not a fetus, which is the stage in which the embryo starts to develop. As such an embryo cannot be written in statistics as a life lived as it is dependent solely on the carrier, thus aborting at this stage technically should not be considered as the taking of life but as a decision on whether to facilitate this possible life. Personhood begins after a fetus is able to survive outside the womb, not at conception. Conclusion

It is estimated that 1.2 million babies are aborted every year (Guttmatcher Institute 2011). Abortion is a brutal murder of an unborn child. Whether the abortion is completed using drugs like RU- 486, or the surgical procedure, you are taking away a life and killing a human being. The baby is alive and not just some 'group of cells' like abortion doctors like to tell their patients. You are painfully putting a child to death which is morally wrong.

Some believe that the removal of a fetus is murder, but scientifically that is not true. Many members of the medical community would argue that “[t]here is a difference between killing or destroying something and preventing something from coming into existence… Abortion is inherently different from other procedures because no other procedure involves the purposeful termination of potential life.” There is a difference between the destruction of an already living human being, and the termination of potential life. In one case, the mother’s life can be ruined or made much more complex, or take away from some aspects of their life. But, with a fetus, it hasn’t been able to go and start a life.
