Abortion Is Murder

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.

A topic that has played a big part in the legalization of abortion is if it would be considered to be murder. First we need to understand what is murder. As defined by the dictionary murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another (Webster Dictionary) Whereas abortion can be defined as the deliberate termination of a pregnancy by the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus (Webster Dictionary). The definition of murder mentions the words 'unlawful ' and 'human being ' for that they do not apply to the definition of abortion. The term “human incubator” was used to describe the women pregnant with an unwanted child (debate.org). One of the debaters said “Abortion does not equate to killing a living breathing existing human being. The woman has a life, dreams, family, history, possibly a job. The fetus has nothing but what it is given (debate.org).” A fetus is not yet a human being. It is more like a seed or sprout of a human being. It is ‘alive,’ but that is also

I feel that the main argument with abortion is more moral than legal, although they both can go hand in hand for this topic. Morally, I feel abortion is murder. All of an embryo’s DNA is determined as soon as the sperm meets the egg. To me, this means that, even though these cells are not fully developed, the will be with time and they are still a human being that deserves to live even when they cannot fight for themselves. I read a post online once that had an interesting take on this and helped to form my opinion to what it is today. It was about a woman who went to the doctor with her 1 year old son. She found out that she

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

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

The government can't take a woman's right away. It is in the constitution that a woman has the right to do anything as she pleases with her body, or to her body. If the government tries to take that away, they will fail because the constitution overrules anything that they say. Some may consider it murder, but others will argue that it is what's best for the baby and the mother. While the ones consider it murder argue that they could have the baby and give it up for adoption don't realize that, that could be just as hard for the mother as having an abortion.

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 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

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.

The thought of killing to most people is bone chilling and makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand up. Abortion is unjustifiable murder because that fetus being done away with is a human being that deserves the right to live just like the people participating in the act. Abortion is an issue that should not be taken lightly because it is a termination of what could potentially become a human

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.

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.

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.
