Abortion is illogically opposed and shouldn't be considered immoral
I am for abortion - Under certain conditions, however. The physical side of this issue is another argument all together and there is no need to examine it here. Abortion is seen in a bad light by most people - As the situation seems to be that abortion is the denial of potential lives. Most people tend not to think past that. However, what most people don't know is that a foetus is not alive until 12 weeks. It's gender and outcome are not decided yet.
Firstly, the idea that abortion is bad comes from bad science and ignorance. The ignorance comes from the fact that when it comes to abortion, people follow what 'seems right' instead of using their heads. Studies show, and scientists all agree - That a foetus is merely a clump of cells before 12 weeks. This means you are not killing anything - Nothing is alive yet, the foetus doesn't even have a designated gender or final outcome. Doing this can be compared to crushing a seed before a plant has even started growing.
Secondly, most people bring up the argument that "Having an abortion is essentially denying a life".So, according to this statement, 'denying a life' is all it takes for something to be immoral..

After 12 weeks, then, and ONLY then, should it be considered immoral - because the baby is alive.This "Denying a life" ideology is illogical. You are always "Denying potential lives" every second. Every second that isn't used impregnating a woman is denying a potential life. Having an abortion before 12 weeks is "Denying a potential life", but now that we know that we are essentially denying potential lives every second, then why should abortion be opposed and why is abstinence not opposed as well?This is flawed logic, it makes no sense and only follows what 'seems right'. There is no scientific or logical reason behind
Abortion is a purposeful end of pregnancy by evacuating the developing life. Many people assume abortion is a sin act toward innocent and defenseless fetus. There is a pro-choice group arguing by saying that abortion is not really a sin act since a fetus is at its synthesis of life. In the article “abortion should not be restricted “by Diana Brown and “Law that prohibit late-term abortion put mother at risk” by Stuart Taylor. These both article argues that abortion as a consequence of mother’s hardship in life, so effort should go into preventing the cause of abortion than blocking the practice. On the other hand, a pro-life groups are arguing by saying abortion is immoral acts. It should be prohibited for any reasons. The article
As a Christian, I am aware that the act of Abortion is clearly immoral because it clearly goes against the 6th Commandment “You shall not Kill”. Many respectable medical journals such as The Lancet, states life start at contraception and abortion of a fetus is the act of killing.
Thou shalt not kill; one-tenth of what may arguably be the most famous guidelines of morality in the western culture, and also the main driving force for pro-life advocates. The argument supporting their beliefs typically starts with the premises that a fetus is a person, and to destroy or to kill a person is unethical. Therefore abortion, the premeditated destruction of a human being, is murder, and consequently unethical. I deny the fact that the fetus, what I will refer to as an embryo up to 22 weeks old, has the right to live. The opposing argument is invalid because a fetus, although perhaps a part of human species, is not formally a person. This leaves it simply to be a part of the woman?s body, whose fate lies solely in the
In conclusion, abortion is morally wrong. A life is sacred, both the mother’s and the infant’s. It is best to prevent pregnancy and eliminate a difficult life choice that takes the right away from one of those people. A quote by Ronald Reagan says, “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been
The strongest argument against abortion is a moderate one, and one similar to the legal one established by Roe v. Wade. It says that abortion becomes morally unacceptable in cases where the viability of the fetus outside of a woman’s womb can be answered. As Barcalow says on page 232 of MP, “although a fetus is not fully an actual person before birth (ninth month), the closer it comes to the ninth month, the closer it comes to being transformed from a potential person to an actual person.” Hence, if the woman chooses not to abort during the early stages of fetal development, but does decide for it nearer to the birth, where the viability of the fetus, outside the womb, is biologically possible and sustainable, then the woman undergoing the abortion procedure becomes immoral.
Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth and is morally wrong. An abortion results in the death of an embryo or a fetus. Abortion destroys the lives of helpless, innocent children and is illegal in many countries. By aborting these unborn infants, humans are hurting themselves; they are not allowing themselves to meet these new identities and unique personalities. Abortion is very simply wrong. Everyone is raised knowing the difference between right and wrong. Murder is wrong, so why is not abortion? People argue that it is not murder if the child is unborn. Abortion is murder since the fetus being destroyed is living, breathing and moving. Why is it that if an infant is destroyed a month before the birth, there is no problem,
Abortion is immoral. The statement "a woman has a right to her body" has two weak points. First, unlike her
I believe abortions are morally permissible. It is a procedure that will occur whether legal or not and I have no moral or legal imperative to prevent a woman from receiving safe medical intervention if she makes that decision. There are no comparable medical procedures where people feel they have a right to prevent a competent adult from exercising their options. Individuals that believe that abortion is immoral have no authority to offer opinions on medical treatment for anyone but themselves. If they are offended by abortion they should not have one.
Faye Wattleton, the longest reigning president of the largest abortion provider in the world - Planned Parenthood- argued as far back as 1997 that everyone already knows that abortion kills. She proclaims the following in an interview with Ms. Magazine:
If one were to abort an embryo then that embryo, that human life would never be duplicated again. For example, a scientist that may have found the cure to A.I.D.S would be killed. There is a better way to solve our problems than by killing children. A fertilized egg is the most beautiful, most innocent being that we could ever create and can redeem even our worst mistakes. This fertilized egg is not just a mass of tissue, for if it were there would be no debate. It is immoral to kill; therefore, abortion is immoral.Abortion should be banned because life begins at conception.
I believe that it is a woman’s choice whether to keep her child or not. I don’t think that anyone should interfere with the choice of the provider of the baby. Abortion is a popular topic in the debate world, but I strongly believe it shouldn’t since at the end of the day the woman is liable for her child. In this article, an unknown writer wrote, “The fact that a fetus may or may not have a beating heart, developing neurological structures, identifiable digits, or any other human quality does not equate abortion to murder. All embryonic organisms resemble a developed version of said organism. Additionally, a fetus does not have the mature, necessary neuroanatomical system required to feel pain until 26 weeks gestation. Not to mention,
some people are for it and some are not but what about the person holding the baby and or thing inside them. Did you think of how they feel? The definition of Abortion the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus So 28 weeks? By the first trimester you would know if you were or not. The first trimester is for 1-12 weeks.
Support 2: Abortion is very risky, and could cause malformation and double-sex. These results are not only painful for baby, but the whole family. They would get made fun of their whole lives by the public and this will be a very difficult thing for them to live with.
Abortion is tremendously unethical, just like murder is highly immoral. Many religions oppose the idea of abortion; Christianity considers abortion to be a sin under all circumstances; Hinduism considers abortion to be a form of violence. In addition, when the woman decides to have a sexual intercourse with a man without any proper use of contraception, she knows that pregnancy will result. If the mother did not want the baby in the first place or if she could not take on the responsibility of the baby, then she should not get pregnant just to later on kill the unborn innocent child in her womb. Abortion can not only harm the baby, but can also cause physical and psychological damage
As many people know, abortion is the process of terminating pregnancy. I hold a very strong explicit attitude about abortion, meaning that my negative attitude of abortion is “consciously accessible, controllable and easy to report” (Branscombe). I am completely against abortion because I strongly believe that aborting a child is basically like murdering a person. Even if a baby is not born yet, after conception, the fetus is forming and growing into a person, meaning that it is alive. In my opinion, killing a person
