Why Is Abortion Wrong

Improved Essays
How can we tell people not to kill each other if it is okay for a mother to kill their own child? Having a child is a lot of responsibility that not a lot of people can handle. However, abortion is not the answer. Abortion is wrong for a lot of reasons. Abortion is murder. Birth control and protection is inexpensive. There is no reason that a pregnant woman should want to get rid of a fetus when there are people from all around the world that try day in and day out to have kids or people that just can't have kids in general. If someone is not ready to have a kid they should not be having sexual intercourse or they should use some sort of protection. Some people say it’s their choice whether they can kill their baby or not but people should choose not to kill an innocent child. Abortion is a very controversial topic these days with many opinions. Personally, I am strongly against the idea of a mother killing their unborn baby. Also, if a person is not financially stable enough to have a child they should take every precaution so that they don't get pregnant. There are also programs for people who are not financially a stable enough to take care of a child so that cannot be used as an excuse. There are many reasons why people think that abortion should be illegal. One reason is If someone gets raped. In …show more content…
The United States citizens are granted certain rights that provide us with the ability to be our own person (Brown 2013). If a child is killed inside the mother's womb they are stripped of the most basic right of all. The right to life (Brown 2013). People think that just because the location of the baby is not in the “real world” yet means that they don't have any rights yet but that is not true (Brown 2013). The growing child still has a beating heart and a developing brain and all other characteristics that make the fetus a person. Killing an unborn baby is inhumane and cruel (Brown

    Every unborn child should have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in the second and third trimester. In 2010, research shows that states indicated that unborn children are considered humans under tort, property and criminal law (Roden, 2010). By these laws shown, a mother shouldn’t get to choose whether the fetus lives or dies. The unborn child is its own person and by a mother aborting her own child should be considered murder. Under law a child is supposed to be born for many different reasons, including being capable of having a legacy (Roden, 2010).…

    It is understandable to see why a mother would abort her child if her life is at risk, but this is at the expense of a baby, who has no part in the decision.

Abortion is immoral and unsafe for a mother and her child.…

    Pro Choice vs. Pro Life There are many reasons on both sides of this issue of why people believe it is or is not okay to have an abortion. Many believe that it is a woman’s right to choose to end her pregnancy or not. The U.S. Supreme Court has declared that it is a right guaranteed by the Constitution. Many would also believe that in choosing to end her pregnancy, she is committing murder, and that although the child is unborn, it is still a living being with the same right to live as its mother. Pro Choice gives women the right to decide if having a child is right for her, and that choice does not end the moment she becomes pregnant.…

    If the baby was not a living thing, he would not be able to open his mouth or move his spine. The mother, doctor, and all involved are committing murder every time an abortion is performed. Our law states that when a pregnant woman is murdered it is double homicide, so how come killing a baby in the womb separate isn’t murder? Our society has many double standards because we conform to what makes others happy, but it is time we take a stand and help save the lives of many innocent children. A solution to this problem is to follow our constitution and make abortions illegal.…

    There has been a long existing debate of “Pro-Life” versus “Pro-Choice” about whether or not women should be able to abort a child. Many people being Pro-Choice will use the argument that the fetus isn 't a living person, and rather that it is the woman’s body; therefore the woman’s choice. There are other options women have such as adoption: waiting until the baby is born and providing the child a well-suited family to properly care for them. I believe any way you can avoid aborting a child is better than abortion because you give the child a chance for life. An unborn child in the womb contains all of the characteristics for it to be considered living, proving abortion is morally and scientifically wrong.…

    Many have different reason to why they do, but either way it is wrong and it should not be legal. Throughout the years, the abortion rate has gone up severely. All of the abortions that happen can not just be from health issues or rape. A study shows that many abortions recently are just because the mother is not ready for a baby. “In 2010, more than half of all pregnancies were unintended in 28 states; in the remainder of the states, a minimum of 36% of pregnancies were unintended” (Wind, 1).…

    Since 1760 BC, abortions have been sought-out internationally. There are a variety of reasons for them: because sexually abused women do not desire for guardianship of the child, females do not want their body to be unfit because of pregnancy, or it was a careless mistake that could have been prevented with birth control or any other prevention method. Many women have nonessential abortions. One quintessential example of this is in China; they kill fetuses if the sonogram proves the unborn child to be female. Abortions should be illegal because it is unjust and purposeless slaughter to the unborn human being.…
