Abortion Is Murder

Is abortion murder?  Murder is defined as "illegal killing with malice aforethought." Abortion fails this definition for two reasons. First, abortion is not illegal, and second, there is no evidence to suggest that expecting mothers feel malice towards their own flesh and blood.

Abortion has been one of the most popular and argumentative topics that has still yet to be settled. Ultimately the question we can ask when trying to solve this issue is whether or not pregnant women should have the right to kill an unborn baby. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth takes place and is a moral wrong. Can we as a society call ourselves human if we allow the deaths of unborn babies to take place? Those who take the side of pro-choice or as also known as pro-abortion often use statements concerning life, humanity, human rights and freedom to support their claims. I believe abortion should be illegal because we as a society must protect the human lives that are in danger whether or not they are in their first

Every individual defines pain differently, so “without interrogation, we cannot know for sure what the fetus feels” (British Medical Journal). As we know, asking a fetus if it feels pain is impossible, and assuming that they do could be wrong. Considering these statements, abortion cannot technically be called murder. Fetuses are not self-aware, rational, or attentive like humans. From a religious standpoint, I understand why people consider abortion murder. A fetus has the potential for life, and that they consider that potential life a real life. However, stretching this idea farther, sperm also have the potential for life, but many of these people are not against sex or masturbation. Fertilization has not yet occurred, but the potential is still there. According to scientific evidence, a fetus has a fifty to seventy percent chance of becoming a feasible human being. These chances are relatively high, but not a guarantee, and not yet a life. One cannot kill something that is not yet alive.

For recent years, people start to deny abortion and stated it as cruel and murder. While it does involve remove fetus or embryo from the mother and kill the baby before it was born, it might not be the worst thing that can happen to the baby. Most people who chose abortion is either can’t afford to have a kid or unable to take care of them. It was one of the case, while other concern about their right as a person. Some might say the baby have right to live, while others believe the mother have right for herself to do what she want to her body. The debate on abortion is not about who right, but it about the consequences of their action.

In 1973, there was an abortion case in the Supreme Court called Roe vs. Wade. The case made abortion legal. Since that day, abortion has become one of the most highly debated topics in our nation. A big question about abortion is if it is murder. Many people say that it isn’t murder because you are killing the fetus, the unborn offspring of a mother, but even when a baby is in its mother’s womb, it has a breath. According to the American Heritage High School dictionary, murder is the act of putting an end to, or destroying a life, which is exactly what abortion is. Although being a parent is very hard, abortion is murder, mentally stressful, and it disregards the gift of life.

Abortion is one of the most immoral things you can possibly do to another living human being. Bishop Christopher Jones of Elphin says,”Abortion is always morally wrong”(Daily Mail, 2013). “We claim that we must protect the innocent, voiceless, and powerless unborn child in the womb”(Bishop Jones, Daily Mail). Just because someone doesn't want their baby does not give them the right to choose whether or not a life is taken because

"[Murder] is a universal moral wrong that applies to all people, in all cultures, and in every age in human history" ("Abortion," 2017). Murder is unlawful because it is taking someone's life away. Ending the life of something that cannot defend itself, like a child, is immoral and unjust. "Abortion is the willful and unjustified killing of an unborn child" ("Abortion," 2017). Abortion can be considered murder because it is ending a new life of an organism. Once that life is formed, it is wrong to take it away. "It is seriously wrong to kill the unconscious, the sleeping" (Marquis, 2015). It is wrong to kill the innocent, the people who aren't fully aware of their surroundings. When a child is in the womb it is unaware of its surroundings, but it has to potential to become fully awake and fully living. Abortion is viewed differently. Some people view it as right, and some as wrong. It should be viewed as wrong because it is the willful killing of an unborn child that deserves the right to

Many people believe abortion should be illegal as they think the termination of a pregnancy is Murder; the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another’’

Abortion is seen in many ways some can argue it's good and most argue that it’s murder. Weather or not you get an abortion right away or later on in the pregnancy you are still killing a

Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy that is often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. As life begins at conception, unborn babies are human beings and thus have the right to life. The federal Unborn Victim Of Violence Act that was made to protect unborn babies from murder states that anybody intentionally killing an unborn baby should be punished for killing a human being. Abortion is a murder because it is taking away someone’s life. Even though the baby isn’t born yet, the fetus in the mother’s womb still feels pain while being aborted. No person, not even a mother, has the right to hurt someone. To keep a child, who can’t even speak, from growing and from living is a murder.

In today’s society,abortion is a choice that is being made by many women.It is vital to know the consequences and circumstances of the procedure.Abortion is the slaughtering of an innocent fetus,which is illicit.

“There are nearly 1.2 million abortions performed in the United States each year” (Operation Rescue, 2014). That was 1.2 million innocent lives that were ended before they even had a chance to begin. Abortion has been legal for decades now, and it is time to put a stop to all the murdering of unborn children. This senseless killing of an unborn child needs to be recognized for what it truly is, and that is legalized murder. Abortions should be made illegal in the United States because it is taking the life of an innocent person, there are other options out there and lastly abortions are not only harming the unborn child but also cause harm to the mother.

Abortion is an argumentative issue across the world. Many people have different views and opinions on this topic. My opinion on abortion is if you put yourself into the position then you should deal with consequences. Why should an innocent unborn baby have to give their life for two other people’s mistakes? If you are not ready for that type of responsibility, then don’t take the risk. But for instance though if the women/girl are ever raped or incest, there is medical care to ensure that she won’t get pregnant. The unborn baby shouldn’t be punished as it committed no crime.

Abortion is murder. Life begins at conception, so unborn babies are human beings with a right to life. Fetuses feel pain during the abortion process. If the fetus can feel the pain, then it is alive, is a human being and is murder. There is a universal agreement that states that pain is detected by the fetus in the first trimester. If the fetus is beyond twenty weeks of gestation, there will be pain caused to the fetus. People kill babies everyday. Webster’s defines abortion that the procedure used to end a pregnancy and CAUSE the DEATH of the FETUS. Causing the death of a human being is murder. Life is a gift and everyone should have the chance to live it. There are 1.4 billion abortions per year.

Would you ever kill an innocent baby? Murder is a crime and abortion is killing a smaller human being but it's just the same,so it should also be a crime. I think abortion should be away with because, it's murder, no one even gave the baby a chance, what if that baby was the cure for cancer.
