Why Is Abortion Inhumane

Did you know American physicians perform about two abortions every minute of every hour of each day?(-----) That could lead up to approximately 46 million abortions a year. Abortions should be illegal, because it is inhumane, used wrongfully, and could possibly danger the parent and child.

Abortion, that is a word that has caused an enormous amount of controversy over the past years. Ever since the U.S Supreme Court decision allowed abortions to take place, people have been split into two sides. An abortion is the removal of a human being. Isn’t that murder? In our court system, if one person takes the life of another, they are sentenced to life in prison or even the death penalty. However, when a mother decides to take the life of her unborn

In some cases, the cause of abortions is due to the fact that the parents of the fetus were not careful. It is a person’s choice to have intercourse, and if that person is not careful and responsible it could result in a pregnancy. As Doug Bandow said, “Abortion is not just another ‘choice’. Rather it is a flight from responsibility.” (-----)Making, and taking away a life is not something that should be played with. An abortion is not a contraceptive that can be used to prevent pregnancies. An abortion is a way to get rid of a pregnancy. There are cases where a pregnancy is due to a rape, and the mother wants to get rid of the baby because it is painful for her to have a baby with her rapist. However, it is not the baby’s fault. It is very emotional devastating that the mother was raped, but why kill the innocent baby? The baby will have some DNA from its father, but it will also have DNA from the mother. Just because the baby has DNA from the father does not mean that it will turn out like him. The baby is its own person, it has its own thoughts and feelings. And it also depends on the behavior he is taught. If a child grows up in a bad family or environment, they will obviously have a harder time possibly doing the right thing, no matter their genes. Abortions are also used for sex selection. Over the past hundreds of years boys have been the most desired for gender in pregnancies, and it still

Many pieces of research have discovered that women that tend to have abortions are more likely to lead an unhealthy lifestyle, and have a higher chance of premature death. “...those who had undergone a single abortion had a 45 percent higher mortality rate over that time period than those who had carried babies to full term.”(----) Abortion not only takes away the life of an innocent baby, it also increases the risk of death. Along with the risk of death, studies have shown that women also have an increased risk of getting breast cancer. “...on a study showing that women who have had a single abortion may face a nearly three-fold increase in risk of breast cancer.”(----) Abortion is wrong on so many levels, however, there are some cases in which abortion is acceptable. In the rare cases, some pregnancies result in the child having a disorder. And there is nothing wrong with a baby having a disorder, but there are some people who would not want to see their child suffering for the rest of their lives. As, Frances Ryan states, “For some, being told their child will have a severe disability is reason enough not to go ahead with the pregnancy… There are times when abortion is the humane choice. In reality, there are times when people feel they simply cannot cope.” (----) In certain times when the mother is at risk, the baby or both an abortion is
