Why Should Abortion be illegal?

Abortion is taking the life off new human being. Many people would say that it’s not human to kill another person but what makes abortion any different from that? The main reason why many women abort is because they’re too young and are scared of the Impact a baby will make In there life, they don’t have enough money to support a child, or their relationship starts falling after finding out they’re pregnant. As a Christian I was taught that abortion Is wrong and that only God can determine who lives and dies. Not only is abortion wrong but it can also cause severe damage to our body not only physically but psychologically.

If you’re not ready to take care of a child on your own don’t abort put your child up for adoption, there are thousands of couples who would love to have a child but can’t and are just waiting for a baby to adopt. Abortion is not justified because adoption is another choice, women often have side affects both physically and psychologically and you are taking the baby’s right of life away, killing is never right under any circumstance, therefore abortion should be Illegal. Adoption Is another option, give your child to a nice family who will take care and purport the baby the way It should be.

There Is 36 couples waiting for ever one baby put Into adoption (Life News). You can even have the choice to have an open adoption where you can keep In touch with your child and know how Its doing throughout his/ her life. I think the fact that there are couples out there aborting because they aren’t ready to have a children is unfair to couples dying to have children and the future baby. Abortion is very harmful to the human body not only physically but psychologically. Abortion can cause both short and long term physical complications. One is that abortion can affect women in being able to have healthy pregnancies in the future.

After having an abortion women often suffer from depression because of regret, not only that but abortions create a risk of having a miscarriage or pelvic inflammation disease In the future. Abortions aren’t helping your life they’re ruining it. All of this can be avoided, our bodies weren’t made to have abortions. You are taking the life of a human being when you have an abortion. The fetus has a heart beat 5 weeks after the mothers last period and the fetus heart starts pumping blood throughout its body at six weeks (New Health Guide). People say abortions is not killing an actual living being.

The time period recommended to have a safe abortion is 10 weeks, by this time the baby is already active. Its teeth and fingernails are growing in, it can start making facial expressions and even have the hiccup (New Health Guide). Please tell me how this isn’t a human being. The Declaration of Independence says “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”, but by having an abortion you are taking the babies right of life and happiness.

Abortion can and should be stopped, It’s not right nor human to kill a human being because you can’t or don’t want to take care of It. I understand women are scared or Just don’t have the time to take care of a child but adoption Is always a choice. Abortions change women forever and not always for the best. The child has rights and by aborting you are taking the baby’s right of life. Affects and you are taking the baby’s right of life away, killing is never right under any circumstance, therefore abortion should be illegal.

  1. There are many reasons on why abortion should be legal, and a choice for the American people. Government and religious beliefs shouldn’t be interfering with your opinions on laws that change people’s lives. Not everyone believes in the same religious beliefs, and that’s the part of America that makes it beautiful. The power of choice, and freedom. If you tamper with abortion laws, you tamper with people’s choices and freedom. The world is cold and ugly, which is significant reason why abortion should remain a legal choice for all women. I’ll give a perfect example, from a young females perspective. If you’re a young fourteen year old female, and you are sexually abused by one of your family memebers, and conceived a child from such an encounter, do you honestly believe you should be forced to give birth to an inbread child? Putting yourself in the shoes of others can change your thought process on the whole ordeal. Picture yourself as grown women who gets drugged at a bar, and is taken advantage of over night. You find out later that you have conceived an unwanted child of a rapist. Should she be restricted of the choice of an abortion? Perhaps a less traumatic example would be that you’re simply aren’t ready for a child and your birth control isn’t one hundred percent effective, and you have found out you are pregnant. Should you have to be forced to give birth then? The list can go on, but the point that I’m trying to make is, if you strip a women’s power of choice, you strip the one thing women has been fighting for since the first women’s rights Convention, whixh was held at the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, NY on July 19 and 20, 1848. The freedom of equality and choice. If you believe in stripping a woman’s rights to her body, you are not a true Amercan. People have died for the freedom of choice. If you do not honor that, you might as well spit on the graves of those first women’s rights activists and the men who have given up their life to protect our rights.
