Abortion should be made Illegal

Abortion should be made illegal. Abortion is murder, it is the killing
of an unborn baby. In today's society, regular people are not allowed to go out
and just murder someone for no reason, so why should doctors be allowed to murd
er unborn babies? "Abortion is not merely the removal of some tissue from a woma
n's body....Abortion is the destruction of an unborn baby." (O'Connor 93) Accord
ing to John C. Willke, president of the National Right to Life Committee, "At th
e union of sperm and ovum there exists a living, single-celled, complete human b
eing." Therefore, according to what John C. Willke says, abortion at ANY stage
of pregnancy is the immoral taking of human life and should be illegal. "The bi
ble makes it clear that to God the unborn child developing inside the womb is fa
r more than mere fetal tissue. He inspired King David to write: "Your eyes saw
even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing." (
Young 25-27) The bible (Exodus 21:22, 23) has clearly stated that a person woul
d be held accountable for hurting an unborn baby. (Young 25-27) Take this for
example; Say a woman is walking down the street carrying a child in her arms. A
nother woman is walking down that same street carrying a child, only this woman
is carrying the child in her. Both children are dependent on their mothers, bot
h just dependent in different ways. (Schwarz 35) Take another example "Suppose
a woman suffers a miscarriage, A sympathetic doctor will not tell her, "You ha
ve lost your fetus"; he will say; "You have lost your child"." (Schwarz 35) If
an abortion is picked the term "fetus" is used as a cold scientific "neutral" wo
rd which switches the persons mind from reality, and also will flip the seriousn
ess, and preciousness of a unborn baby. (Schwarz 35) Can it be so possible in to
day's society that we "get so caught up trying to be sensitive to the woman and
her suffering that we forget the baby altogether." (Gallagher 63)) People toda
y do not want to see a young persons "life" ruined because of an unwanted pregna
ncy, so they see their only choice is abortion. (O'Connor 94) Many people in
today's society do not accept capital punishment, they feel it is not humane. B
efore capital punishment is even considered, the human is given a fair chance of
trial by jury, and if found guilty -- then administered the death penalty. (O'
Connor 98) "Yet many people who reject capital punishment accept, support and c
onsider it a :right: to take the life of an innocent unborn baby, who has never
had a trial or been found guilty." (O'Connor 98) Is it not ironic that in a ho
spital a doctor will work for hours trying to save the life of a premature baby,
but then in another room a doctor will work to end the life of another. The po
litical laws will allow the doctor to kill the baby inside the mother's womb, bu
t outside the womb this would be called Murder. (Awake! 3-5)
"According to one study, 87 percent of teenagers who have abortions fear
the having a baby would dramatically change their lives in a way they are not p
repared to accept." (Young 25-27) Many people will agree that abortion is wron
g, but than they will consider abortion if a woman is raped. Many studies today
show that pregnancy from rape is very rare. " One survey of 3,500 consecutive
victims of rape in Minneapolis, U.S.A., yielded not a single case of pregnancy.
Of 86,000 abortions in the former Czechoslovakia, only 22 were for rape. Thus,
only a tiny portion of those seeking abortions do so for these reasons." (Awak
e! 3-5) "From 50 million to 60 million unborn babies perish each year by aborti
on. Can you comprehend that number? It would be like sweeping the entire popul
ation of the Hawaiian Island off the map every week!" (Awake! 6-9) "In the Uni
ted States, abortion is the second most common surgical procedure, next to tonsi
llectomy. Annually, over 1.5 million abortions are performed." (Awake! 6-9) "
In what was the Soviet Union, abortions are estimated at 11 million annually, am
ong the highest number worldwide." (Awake! 6-9)
As we can see the main topics that people use today to say that Abortion
should remain legal is all contradicted. Many people state the right of a Woma
n, but we can see the fetus in her is not just a fetus, it is a developing human
being. We also see that the bible states that God knows us as an embryo. Many
studies were taken, and show some very interesting information about abortions.
In conclusion, Abortion should be made illegal. Abortion has been shown to be
murder by not just the most important book today, The Bible, but also many scie
ntists.
