How Abortion Kills An Innocent Baby

Abortion is killing innocent children and affecting the lives of many women across the United States. These actions speak words loudly saying, I don't want the child so I’m taking the easy way out and killing the baby. Abortion is just another excuse to not take responsibility for the actions you took. The United States should make abortion illegal. Abortion is wrong because there are many different options other than killing the baby, it is unsafe for the woman, and women that have had abortions live with that fact every day physically and emotionally.

Do you think that its right to kill an unborn baby, just because the mother of the fetus decides she doesn't want it? There are over approximately 40-50 million unborn babies that die from abortion each year. I truly believe that an unborn baby deserves a chance to live.

In this essay, the morality of the abortion of a fetus will be discussed in a drama involving a married couple named Deb and Derek (Smolkin, Bourgeois & Findler, 2010). For clarification purposes, we must first define the topic of this discussion; abortion is defined as the act in which a female voluntarily terminates her pregnancy where this act is legally permitted (Warren, 1973). Deb who is 16 weeks pregnant discovers that the fetus she is carrying will most likely be born mentally challenged (Smolkin et al., 2010). As the drama unfolds, the couple ponders the negative impact this child will have on their business, marriage as well as the quality of life that their child will experience if it is carried to term (Smolkin

Abortion has taken the lives of more than 50 million babies since 1973 (“About Abortion”). The issue of abortion is one of the most common controversial issues in American politics and culture. In modern society, many women that have an unintended pregnancy and they result to abortion without researching other options. Abortion is not a substitute for birth control and this issue should be taken seriously. The individual woman needs to understand that by agreeing to have an abortion she is agreeing to kill an innocent fetus. Abortion rips the unborn child from his or hers right to life. Society needs to let women see through the eyes of the fetus and find alternative ways to raise the baby. Abortion should be

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.

Let’s move to the next topic, why the abortion is unconstitutional. When the United States became an Independent Nation the Founding Fathers declared “All men are created equal…with certain unalienable Rights…Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (A Transcription 1776). The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution provides that no person should be ‘deprived of life’ without option to the due process of the law. At conception a new life comes into existence, one with a unique genetic code and the unlimited potential for greatness that is concealed in all humans, the progression into a baby, then toddler, child, teenager, adult is certain. However, aborting a fetus denies it of life and the ability to relish its future liberty and the pursuit

Induced abortion is the deliberate ending of a pregnancy before the fetus is viable or capable of surviving outside a female’s body. Abortion has been practiced in every culture since the beginning of civilization” (Kaplan, Tischauser & Chara, 2015). Abortion is one of many controversial issues. It is a topic that is widely debated among many people. Abortion is a difficult topic of discussion, when the baby is a product or rape, or has Down syndrome or deformities. According to my Christian worldview, I will examine the abortion ethical dilemma, and compare it to other options of resolving the dilemma.

Firstly, abortion kills the innocent lives of babies. In America, about 1.21 million abortions occur a year (National center of health). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 3,952,841 babies are born a year. The life of every unborn baby is in jeopardy, he or she either gets the opportunity to live or he or she’s life ends. “There is no ethical defense for killing someone who is innocent, no matter how great the inconvenience to another person may be”. (Wayne Wilkins) People believe that aborting a baby won’t harm or cause pain to the unborn fetus; it’s the destruction of a conception. The power to end one’s life should be in no one’s hands.

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

I believe that abortion is wrong and it’s a social problem. I think that it is wrong to have an abortion because life begins at conception. Abortion is no different to murder as it is the act of taking a human life. As in California penal code 187 says murder is an unlawful killing of a human being, or a fetus with malice. I think the above definition is an easier and less aggressive way to say that abortion is the murdering of a human being. No civilized society should permit any person to intentionally hurt or take the life of another human without any type of punishment, and abortion should not be different.

Just because abortion is legal in all fifty states it is not morally right because a fetus is technically still a person, killing is against the law, and it goes against God’s will for us to have the right to live. In 1973, the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade changed the course of American history. The outcome of this case made abortion, “the termination of a pregnancy resulting in the death of the fetus,” legal in all fifty states (Abortion Facts). Abortion has become one of the most controversial topics in our nation, and is becoming a substantial issue (Sproul 47). Every abortion takes the life of a child, the most innocent of human beings. Not only does an abortion kill the fetus, but the procedure itself is very gruesome and can cause pain to the child or the mother (Abortion facts). On average, there are around 700,000 abortions per year in the United

Out of the many reasons why abortion is wrong, is that it is considered brutal murder. In 1982, Ronald Reagan stated: "Simple morality dictates that unless and until someone can prove the unborn human is not alive, we must give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it is (alive). And, thus, it should be entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" (Unkown). You are taking a life and killing a human being. The baby is alive and not just some 'group of cells' as abortion doctors call them. You are painfully putting a human being to death. It is wrong to think someone has the power to end a life so harmfully. That is something that most criminals do not even have to suffer through. Are we (as human beings) really so stubborn and idiotic to evolve the death sentence so that rapist and murders do not feel pain when they die all because they are alive, yet when it comes to an unborn human it suddenly no longer matters? Thomas Jefferson stated the most fundamental principle of our developing nation when he wrote in the nation’s first document, the Declaration of Independence, that we were all created equal and endowed with certain unalienable rights and that among these rights was life. Who should be able to take that right away simply because someone made a mistake and does not want to pay the consequences for their actions?

Many argue is it the women’s or the foetus’ rights and values that are being trampled on? “Pro-choice movements sometimes fall back on an abortion rhetoric that seems to dehumanize and trivialize the death of a foetus as a way to humanize and make important the reproductive rights of women.” (Wolf p54) “Women can treat an unwanted foetus as a violation of her civil rights and is therefor justified tin using force to expel it” (McMillan pA12) The decision is not up to the mother because she is not God. Only God, the ultimate creator has the right to choose who may live and who shall die. Humans do not have the right or the power to control the quality of life and to avoid suffering. “The issue of abortion is not just life, but how life is created and the extent to which human intention and control the process, both before and after birth.

“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.
