Abortion Is Not The Murder Of An Infant

Unfortunately, the levitical law we find in the Bible today is incomplete, and comes to us in large gaps. That is because the ancient Jews passed down their laws orally, and only wrote down the more complicated laws to jog their memory. As a result, levitical law is filled with tremendous omissions; for example, we know little of their laws on libel, business, lending, alimony, lease, rental agreements and civil rights. But perhaps the most unfortunate gap in ancient Jewish law is abortion. If a law did exist on abortion, then we simply do not know what it was. Fortunately, we have an

This topic is also argued in different religions. The Catholic Church believes that abortion is murder and no person born or unborn should be unwillingly killed. Murder is against the Ten Commandments and a serious crime. They believe that abortion is wrong and just as bad as murder. Many Catholic protest abortion by holding protests outside of abortion clinics.

Out of 55 million Americans who live in food insecure homes, about 16.7 million are children. Almost 5.5 million children live in families who have lost their home. In Maryland alone, there are currently 250,000 children going hungry each day (Raphel). As we carry our lives day to day , many children are suffering due to hunger, the loss of a home, abuse, and many other causes. This issue has bothered me for as long as I can remember, I always think to myself, why bring a child into this world if a person is not fully capacitated to provide for that child. I 'd like to address the issue of Pro-Choice, and explain why Pro-Choice is not murder, like many people see it as. Pro-Choice as I determined is agreeing on the issue of abortion, believing that a person has the right to choose whether to have a baby, or abort it.

Christians don’t believe that abortion should have happen they say that abortion should not happen because God says that it shouldn’t happen. “For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13). Christians see that life is sacred to God.

In Christianity, they are against abortion. In Northern Ireland, Catholics and Protestants have united against abortion. However, some groups are more pro-abortion. The Church of England states that the unborn child is alive and created by God. It can be morally accepted when a baby is suffering from a serious disability.

If a rape and/or incest occur, with the appropriate medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant. But abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime. The perpetrator is the one who should be punished.

What is Abortion? Abortion is a pregnancy being ended so that it doesn't result in the birth of a child, sometimes called a “termination of pregnancy”. It is the only legal procedure, and is completely safe to the mother. Procedures are done in a clinic, like Planned Parenthood (Federation of America), which is a non-profit that helps provide sexual healthcare globally. One procedure is the in-clinic abortion, a surgical method using suction to empty the uterus is the (most common. But there is also a pill available for use at home, which blocks the body’s progesterone (hormone needed to further a pregnancy). Many mothers don't like the option of abortion, but if they aren't in a place for a child, many end up proceeding with it. Therefore, being such a major task, there are abysmal amounts of pro-life activists.

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.

American law argues that, 'the fetus is a part of woman’s body until it is born.' It follows that the woman is granted full permission to terminate any unwanted pregnancy since the mother is responsible of what to remove from her body. (Tatalovich 13). Muslim view of abortion is really confusing as it sometimes support the act and to some extent condemns it. Although the religion jurisprudence doesn’t encourage the act of abortion, it lacks direct biblical (i.e. Sunnah and Quran) prohibition. According to Muslims, it’s noted that the position on abortion is seen to vary. Muslims permits abortion in particular conditions in specific stages of gestation (Religious Groups position on abortion). The Catholic religion opposes all the forms of abortion at any level whose purpose is to destroy an embryo or the fetus. Catholic religion respects life at any level of

On the contrary, some mainline Protestant denominations such as the United Church of Christ, Methodist Church, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, to name a few, are more permissive of women’s reproductive rights. As with society as a whole, Christians are divided on the issue of abortion and have beliefs ranging from the extreme pro-life to the extreme pro-choice position. This means that perception and focus are the main issues in directing people from any faith towards a particular stance on the subject. If an individual decides to focus on one part of the story, then definitely there will be a distorted representation of what they support. The result is that there will be people who are ignorant or neutral on abortion while others choose to support abortions as others oppose the act.

Abortion is one of the most controversial subjects that has been continually argued over for many years all over the world that poses the questions death or life. Abortion discusses one’s interaction where ethics, emotions, medical, and law come into place. According to the Webster Dictionary abortion is the loss of the fetus or unborn child before it can live outside the womb. The killing a human life is a contradiction to the norms of society, from a biblical point of view, one will believe that abortion is wrong because it is a sin that is stated in Exodus 20:13, the sixth commandment of the law of God "Thou shall not kill", and such an act should be outright illegal. Although abortion may seem to be the only correct solution for an unwanted pregnancy, it is cruel, unethical, and presents a double-standard for society; therefore, it should be considered illegal except under some special cases and medical circumstances that indicate a danger to the mother and child.

“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.

Once again it is necessary to state that most of the religious opinions are based on when human life begins. In the case of Hinduism, there is no acceptance of abortion. According to the Vedas, abortion is a sinful activity. There is no question of when a fetus becomes a person. Or even when morality is reached (when a baby is actually born). Abortion in Hinduism is evil in all cases,

Abortion is a controversial topic that has been debated in society. In the entry of abortion in The Oxford Companion to the Bible it states, “abortion as such is not discussed in the Bible (Dolansky 51).” Since the Bible doesn’t clearly discuss the topic, abortion, it is currently debated whether it should be accepted or not. People make the argument that getting an abortion is ending a life so one is committing the first commandant by aborting a child. Friedman and Dolansky discuss where the Bible could be relating to abortion in some way.

Each year, two out of every one hundred women aged fifteen to forty-four have an abortion, 48 % of them have had at least one previous abortion and 61% percent have had a previous birth. This means that these women understand the joy of a baby being born, and still choose to take away their privilege to live. They’ve carried these children before and know the happiness of seeing their own healthy child in their arms for the first time. Why then, when they know they are creating a new life inside of them, do they choose to deprive their child the right to live and experience everything life has to offer? They willingly decide to kill that child and decide to have an abortion. Hence, abortion should be illegal because one is committing an
