Abortion: Pro Life
We have all heard the well-known fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel. Imagine if you were Hansel or Gretel and were living through a harsh famine with your family. Your family is poor and food is so scarce that there is not enough for everyone. One night you overhear your mom and dad talking about leaving you in the woods to die. They make the decision to do this because they can only provide food for themselves. How would it make you feel if your own parents were trying to take your life away? Wouldn’t you want to have some say in whether you were going to live or not? Well every day 3,000 unborn babies don’t. Our nation has been debating the topic of abortion for …show more content…
The abortionist takes a pliers like instrument to grab a leg, arm, or any other body part they can grab ahold of. Once they have clasped onto a body part, they tear it from the body with a twisting motion. They continue to do this until only the head remains. Then the head is crushed and pulled out. After all the pieces of the baby are taken from inside the mother, a nurse has to reassemble the parts to make sure there are none remaining. The last abortion method is known as Dilation and Extraction (D&X). This is usually done from 4 to 9 months of pregnancy. With a forceps, the abortionist grabs the baby and positions it feet first and facedown. The child’s body is then pulled out of the birth canal but there is one problem, the head is too big. At this time the baby is alive and most likely flailing it’s arms and legs. The abortionist hooks their fingers over the baby’s shoulders while holding the woman’s cervix away. They then drive a surgical scissors into the base of the skull and spreads the tips apart to enlarge the wound. A suction tube is then inserted into the wound to suck the baby’s brains out. The skull collapses allowing the baby to be pulled …show more content…
Otherwise this paper would be pointless. Also Planned Parenthood wouldn’t be making $164 million annually from abortion procedures. Those who are in favor of making abortions legal are politically referred to as Pro-Choice. Pro-Choicers have a few reasons why they believe abortion should be legal.
The first and foremost reason why people think abortion should be legal is because they think it is the womans “right”. The Pro-Choice group claims that since it is the mother’s body, then it is the mother’s choice to choose whether or not to end the baby’s life. They state that the mother has the “right” to privacy and the “right to choose.
But what they don’t understand is the right to live (not be killed) supersedes the right to privacy. Killing in private is no more acceptable than killing in public. If our society applied this logic of “my body my right or my choice” to every political controversy then our world would be out of control. But just for fun lets apply it to a few. Legalize all drugs of any kind: if it is my body, then then it’s my right to do crack cocaine or any other drug to my choosing. Slavery: why don’t people have the right to choose to enslave someone. Slavery only prohibits freedom when abortion prohibits life, so why isn’t slavery legal if abortion is? In the case of abortion, it’s not the woman’s body who is being dismantled or
