Should Abortions Be Illegal In The United States?

Superior Essays
Children are a gift from God (New International Readers Version, Psalm 127-3). There are about 7 billion gifts (people) in the world. That’s 7 billion birthdays every single year. In America, women have the option to terminate their pregnancy due to any circumstance, ranging from not being financially able to support a child to not wanting to disappoint someone. Abortions should be illegal in the United States because, of the health risk that affect women after the procedure. It is plain out insulting to religion. This termination of children is a massive genocide that is currently happening to the unborn in the U.S. The idea that women undergo procedures to terminate a pregnancy and place themselves under extreme conditions is mind blowing, …show more content…
The film historical drama movie; The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas covers the holocaust through the eyes of two 8 year old boys, one named Shmuel who was a Jewish prisoner and the other was Bruno who was the son of an SS soldier. One day Bruno accompanied Shmuel in search to find his father. The two 8 year old boys are stopped in the mist of their journey and were told by a guard to remove their clothes for a "shower". Essentially an SS soldier pours some Zyklon B pellets into the “shower”, and the prisoners start yelling and banging on the metal door where the two boys die. (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas) The film will send any audience into tears and disbelief from the fact that two innocent boys are killed for absolutely no reason. In the same sense; abortion is a genocide. Innocent children are being killed for reprehensible reasons! One couple got an abortion because their parents thought they were too young to take on the responsibility of raising a child (Lee 48). During many history classes today many ask where America was during the disaster of the holocaust. Post WW1 the United States adopted the policy of Isolationism; this is when we stayed out of the involvement in another country 's domestic and international conflicts. We as a country are practicing isolationism today in the 21 century, but within our own country! The law sits back and allow women to kill a child, because of a claim “it’s none of their business what a woman does with their body”. That idea is ridiculous because it’s not just her body, it is also where an innocent and precious child is developing. If we as a country continue to just sit back and practice this internal isolationism, we have truly learned nothing from the Holocaust during the 20th

    Many people take the right to live for granted, however, from hundreds of thousands to millions of unborn children are killed annually because they are unwanted by their parents. Facts provide evidence to support, “If destroy us at the earliest stage, you never end up with us at this stage” (Clemmitt). Everyone believes their life is guaranteed, that they will be able to live undisturbed and happily. Marcia Clemmitt stated in an article from 2006, “If you are a full scale human embryo and you are given nurture, you end up, by anybody’s definition, a full-scale human being”. According to a 1997 statistic, approximately one and a half million children are aborted annually; 100 thousand children are put up for adoption while one and a half million families want to adopt a child annually (“Annual Adoptions”).…

    “In 1965, illegal abortions made up one-sixth of all pregnancy – and childbirth – related deaths” (“Abortion Access”). This justifies that if abortion isn’t legal, then those who want to get rid of the fetus will perform illegal abortions such as self-abortion. As a result, those who perform self-abortion will end up harming themselves. Although many are against abortion because they consider it evil/inhumane, it should be legal because the mother could have been raped, have a disabled fetus, or have an unwanted pregnancy.…

    Abortion has been around for quit sometime now, and its support is only getting stronger. Advocates of abortion emphasize one’s ability to have the choice of whether that person wants to keep the baby or not. They believe that the person that was conceived is technically not a human being yet, and is a person once the mother has given birth to the child. Because they believe that the person they are aborting is not a human, it is then okay to end its life. They make arguments such as having the option of abortion will help victims of rape, incest, or if the person is just not ready to have a child.…
