“Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want,” Mother Teresa. Abortion is seen as an act of personal violence, in which it causes more problems than it solves. After 5 weeks, getting an abortion should be illegal―unless there is a serious health risk for the mother, as it is destructive in all aspects. Abortion causes an obstructive impact to a person morally, physically and psychologically, and has devastating effects to a society.
The topic of abortion is as old as documented history, and has always been very controversial throughout the world. The earliest known description of abortion comes from the Ebers Papyrus, 1550 BCE, where it was suggested that abortion can …show more content…
Women are now able to detect if they are pregnant as early as the day of their missed period through pregnancy tests. They may also get a blood test 6 to 8 days after ovulation which is more reliable. Nonetheless, this gives the woman over 30 days to think about what they would like to do. 30 days may seem like a short time and be said as rushing the woman, but if they really wanted to get an abortion, it would not take long for them to decide this as they would not have much doubts on the subject. After 5 weeks, they can always keep the baby and just give it up for adoption if they do not feel that they are ready to take care of a baby, which helps them to avoid problems that may arise with the act of …show more content…
The act of abortion is seen as an infringement on one’s human rights, more specifically one’s right to life. One reason that abortion was justified decades ago was because of the unclear understanding of whether an embryo is human, and if so, at what stage is it considered human. We now have the technology that could answer these questions, something that was not around before. Those who support abortion state that there is a difference between an embryo and an adult, and that an embryo is not considered human. They say this because an embryo may be smaller, but that does not mean larger people are more human than smaller ones. Men are typically larger than women, yet we stress the need for women’s equality. Also, just because an embryo is less developed than the adult they will once become does not mean they have fewer rights. A 6 year old is less developed than a 16 year old, but that does not mean that older children have more rights than their younger siblings. Reasons as to why many people condone the act of abortion is because those considering it say it is because of rape, health risks, and because they cannot live the life they wanted to. According to Campaign Life Coalition, almost 120,000 surgical abortions are committed annually in Canada and is done as a “back-up” birth control method in more than 96% of the instances. Less than 1% are for the so-called “hard cases” of rape
