Do you consider something with a beating heart a living creature? A
baby heart forms and starts beating in the fifth week of pregnancy;
therefore, that would make abortion murder. The baby that is growing
inside of the woman is depending on her, so when she makes the choice
to end that baby's life, they are making the choice to murder another
person.
Someone that believes in the pro-choice theory would say that the
decision is up to the woman, but the person with the pro-life theory
would say that it is murder no matter what the situation. Most people
consider it murder to kill a baby the day after it is born. Then why
would it not be murder to kill it before it is born?
There are many abortions performed each year in the United States.
Seventy-five percent of all abortions in the U.S. are performed on
women over twenty years of age, but the lawmakers try to concentrate on
the 186,000 teens that have an abortion each year. In 1990, there were
nearly 400 abortion bills were that were introduced to forty-one
legislatures. So far, as many as twenty states have passed laws that
requires a teenager to have a parents consent before having an
abortion. This may help reduce the number of abortions each year. The
people that passed these bills feel that maybe the parents will feel
differently about the situation and be able to talk their child out of
it. Twenty percent of teens that are sexually active do not use any
form of birth control. These are the teens that end up getting pregnant
and getting an abortion. If these girls would use some kind of
contraceptive it could stop a lot of the abortions performed each year.
If people think about it, it is so much easier to take a pill then it
is to be pregnant and have to decide on the life of another person.
When someone feels that they are responsible enough to participate in
sexual activity, they should also feel that they are responsible enough
to deal with the consequences that follow.
Abortions are often considered "the easy was out." I feel that
abortions are just selfish. There is no easy way out. I could not
imagine living with the guilt of taking another's life, especially the
life of something that I created, and that is dependent of me. There
are so many people out there that wish they had the chance to get
pregnant. If they really feel that you are not ready to be a parent
then the person could at least give the baby up for adoption, and make
their life, that baby's life, and the family adopting the babies' life
a lot happier.
Many of the people that have abortions take advantage of it and use
abortion as a form of birth control. I can understand that having a
baby might ruin someone's life, or so they think, but what about the
life that you are ruining when they have an abortion. In a way, it is
taking away a piece of them, a piece of them that they will never be
able to get back. What if the baby that they killed could have grown up
to be the president of the United States, or discovered a cure for a
disease that they might have when there are older? There are so many
things that need to be considered.
The procedure of abortion is very gruesome. Have you ever seen the
results of an abortion? It is scary. Maybe if the results of abortion
were more widely discussed then it might change the way people think
and feel about the topic. Maybe if people really knew what happens to
their baby, they would consider it murder too. Just think that of all
the lives people could change if they were more conscious about their
actions.
