Today I learned a lot from the presentations in class from some philosophers theories and my classmate's opinions on these theories. Utilitarianism was one of my favorites and this theory seemed to care for people the most and how they are affected by a situation.

One of the many reasons I think abortion is wrong is coming from a religious aspect on this topic because even though the baby is in the womb as an embryo without form it still has a soul and cutting its ties to life is murder and that act is a sin. Murder is obviously wrong but also think about this a little more deeper from a different perspective maybe that could have been a child destined to find a cure for cancer or HIV I realize this is a little extreme but it is just something to consider we never know what the universe is providing for us and I think we should just take our chances and not take a life. Another reason abortion is wrong is because I feel like it could be taken advantage of because when one person partakes in this action others feel a little more willing to do so also and it just causes a small snowball effect. I agree in some circumstances such as rape or being taken advantage of while under the influence it is more acceptable to abort a child but ultimately it is wrong and we should not make others feel like it is okay to do so and I hope we become very aware of this
