Horton Book Report

They continue by stating that abortion is simply a process that terminates pregnancy, not a life. This is an obvious misconception since the term embryo refers to humans at particular states of development. They are not blobs in a state of development, but rather humans growing to be ready for life. This simple blob or embryo that people believe is okay to obliterate is actually already a complex form of a human. Even before the trimester stage the baby will have all its body parts needed for the rest of his or her life. Although countless scientific and medical textbooks agree that human life begins at conception, people are still doubtful whether or not our science is correct. But if we are truly uncertain when life starts, it still does not give us the right to destroy a possible life. Why must we doubt thousands of intelligent scientists who agree that life begins at conception because of religious beliefs? Can you truly say it is okay to kill a life because people’s religious beliefs? No matter how much better it sounds defining abortion as terminating pregnancy, in the end a heartbeat is stopped, and a life is not able to continue.

Whereas those that are against abortion believe that abortion is against God’s law in the Bible, in the Bible one of the ten commandments is “thou shall not kill” meaning that we are to value human life and treat every person with the dignity befitting someone made in the image of God. When we fail to listen to God on this point, there are consequences - more death, more killing, more inhumanity to man. When we listen to him, things are better for everyone. Abortion is murder; it is the killing of an unborn baby. In the 21st century, regular people are not allowed to go out and just murder someone for no reason, so why should doctors be allowed to murder unborn babies? This is a question that is often argued a lot by those that are against abortion. According to John C. Willke, president of the National Right to Life Committee, “at the union of sperm and ovum there exists a living, single-celled, complete human being.” Therefore according to what John C. Willke says abortion at any stage of pregnancy is the

because he wanted justice, and valued the importance of life. In the last part of the story a line

Each day throughout our world, medical professionals suction thousands of babies from their mothers’ wombs through a procedure called abortion. The law protects and provides consent to both the mother and the medical professionals for these procedures. However, the babies seemingly have no right to protection or life themselves because of the argument regarding when a fetus is determined be human and have life. Pro-life author, Sarah Terzo, in a LifeSiteNews.com article, relays the following testimony supporting this from a medical student upon witnessing his first abortion, “Rejected by their mothers and regarded as medical waste by their killers, society allows these babies to die silently, with no recognition or acknowledgment of their

Horton: Michael Horton wants us to understand that “the image of God is not something in us that is semidivine but something between us and God that constitutes a covenantal relationship (123)”. Horton wants to make sure that we know that we are the image of God. The image of God is not something that we have or carry. Since we are created in the image of God, Horton believes that God has called us to be a faithful image of him and we do this by accomplishing our calling that was given to us by God. Being created in the image is a present but it is also a task for us. It is a gift because we are given the opportunity to be like Christ. But it is a task because we need to work in order to show others who God is. So by going out and doing sinful acts we were ruining the image of God.

His employer was trying to shaft him. He fought for his rights, not knowing what the outcome would be, but knowing this was something he felt he must do.

Many Americans or even others around the world that believe abortion is murder. Abortion is so much like murder as it is killing someone, it is the defiance of the community to agree with the sanity of a human life. There is no place on earth where someone does not get charged for harming someone intentionally or taking the life of someone, abortion is no different. For example, if someone picked up a knife and stabbed another human being and ends up killing them. It is similar to a process of abortion occurs like when the physician uses his/her utensils to take out the fetus. That person will get charged for killing that person, why wouldn’t a woman get charged for killing her own unborn child? It may seem like the physician is doing all the “crime” but it is under the mother 's responsibility because of her decision to have the abortion. People say that the fetus has no idea of

Of all the legal, ethical, and moral issues we Americans continuously fight for or against, abortion may very well be the issue that Americans are most passionate about. The abortion issue is in the forefront of political races. Most recently the “no taxpayer funding for abortion act”, has abortion advocates reeling. Even though abortion has been legal in every state in the United States since the monumental Supreme Court decision, “Roe v Wade”, on January 22, 1973; there are fewer physicians willing to perform abortions today than in 2008. (Kraft) At the heart of the ethical dilemma for many in the medical profession is the viability of the fetus. And just to make this whole dilemma more confusing, according to the United States

The overall worldview of “Horton Hears A Who!” was one of Christian worldview. There were scenes in the movie that represented atheistic views. The characters in the movie had to be open-minded with the obstacles that lead them to reality. They had to believe in change in order to understand the beliefs and concerns of others. The earth is similar to the speck, because we are floating around the universe just like the speck was floating through the air. The importance of this movie reveals that big people (higher power) need to listen and look after smaller people. As Horton states, “A person is a person, no matter how small”.

Maudie’s words hung around the atmosphere uncomfortably. She’d said to me that there were a handful of people in the town who would support Atticus in his mission to defend Tom Robinson. From what I could see, no one wanted to do such thing, absolutely no one. The whole town stood still. They all sat in their tiny homes, waiting for

Abortions should be illegal because they are murder. The definition of Abortion is “a medical procured used to terminate a pregnancy and results in the death of the fetus, or embryo” (Webster, n.d.). The definition of murder is” the crime of deliberate killing of a human” (Webster, n.d.). So there for getting an abortion is logically murder. Science has proven that the life of a human begins at conception, so when a surgeon performs an abortion it should be considered murder! If everyone else who commits murder goes to jail, then why should not the doctors who perform the life ending procedure? Or the mother that ok’s the procedure? They are doing the same thing as the person on the street who just shot and killed someone. They are both ending a human life and both should face the same consequences.
