Abortion is one of the most controversial issues and no two side can come to an
agreement. Abortion have become and argument between is life and death. My personal opinion
on this matter is that I dont believe in abortion because its murder, we cannot play God and
decide who live or dies, not just in the abortion case as well in other life or death situation.
Abortion is a life or death matter, but in both sides there is one common goal, which is reducing
the number of abortions and making abortion safe. Abortion is defined as the removal of the
embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy (Dictionary) in another words,
abortion is the murder of an unborn life. Abortion should not be legal because abortion is
murder, life begins at conception, so unborn babies are human beings with a right to life,
and abortion promotes a culture in which human life is disposable.
Abortion is murder our lives are sacred to all of us and yet there us an option to murder
lives that havent even begun to live. The assumption that everyone knows what the term
abortion mean is being made, but the question remains the same why do so many people try to
hide the issue aside? Who get to choose is who live and who die. This society is corrupted. We
give someone the choice whether to kill an innocent, helpless, and defenseless unborn child. On
the other hand yet we put into a trial someone a murder someone else to defense itself into
proven guilt and maybe even after that this person get to live with restriction but still alive.
Nevertheless to kill an unborn is just another routine in our day to day. In today society
especially in the United Stated media portrays sexual intercourse as a rite of passage. From the

moment your turn you TV on or use your phone goes into your social media such as Facebook or
Instagram sexual content is displayed. We portray that is ok as long as Condom is being used.
Another controversy is what about when someone get raped? Its ok to get abortion. Is debatable
whether its ok or not but is still consider murder. Yes we know she probably didnt wish to
become pregnant as a raped outcome but is still killing and unborn, defenseless, innocent life.
There are other choice than murdering a life. According to smith there are other method to
prevent pregnancy and avoid abortion such as the IUD that seems to prevent a fertilized egg. And
new human being from implanting in the uterine wall. The pill does not always stop ovulation,
but sometimes prevents implantation of the growing embryo. We have way to prevent the
murdering of an innocent, helpless unborn child before it even become a life. We just need to
become more aware of your choices and more responsible of our actions.
In a research done by the Arizona Right to live it came to a conclusion that there is fact
that life begins at conception. Is confirmed by scientists, doctors, and even those who are proabortion. Some believe that just because its a baby in unborn is not alive but once an embryo is
at nine weeks a heartbeat develops meaning is alive. The pro-choice is a little hypocritical if a
women is involve in an accident if the mother and the unborn are hurt or kill then the person
involve in this situation can become charge with a double charges. So it ok for the unborn to
become a human life when it convince in the situation. According to The Unborn Victims of
Violence Act when a pregnant women is involve in a criminal attacks, and injures or kills both
her and her unborn child, can be claimed that two human victims where loss or attack. The bill
would establish that if a "child in utero" is injured or killed during the commission of certain
federal crimes of violence, then the assailant may be charged with a second offense on behalf of
the second victim, the unborn child. But yet when a women decide to have an abortion no

criminal charged are made. Dr. Watson A. Bowes, at the University of Colorado Medical School
stated life begin of the point of conception. Every human beings existence begins at
conception. This fact is crucial to demonstrate because once a human beings life begins to exist,
it should be protected until natural death Every time a sperm cell and ovum unite, a new
being is created which is alive and will continue to live unless its death is brought about by some
specific condition."
If abortion would become legal it send a message that human lives is disposable, and we
can decide who lives and who dies. The Pope Francis as well as some US House of
Representatives claimed that abortion endorses that human life is disposable and babies are
thrown away as unnecessary. The US House of Representatives as Randy Hultgrens specified
that abortions allows us to throw away anything or anyone that is an inconvenience to us.
When a doctor graduated from college the sworn on a Hippocratic Oak. In the original version
abortion was forbidden. Todays doctors are required to swear that they must not play at God and
8% of all modern oaths administered specifically require the doctor to refuse to participate in
abortion. No live should be taken away specially the one of an unborn child. Life is a gift and
how are we to decide who lives and who died.
Abortion is one of the most debatable topic out there, and no to side can come to an
agreement. One thing is certain is that abortions is consider to be murder is taking an innocent
helpless life always life star in the moment of conceptions unborn babies are human with the
right to life we cannot play God and decide who live and who dont and abortion portrays a
cultures that believes that human life is disposable.
