Federal Government Should Outlaw Late-Term Abortion
In 2013, reporter Sarah Terzo from Live Action News in Virginia indicated that late-term abortion clinic shoots babies through the heart with poison in order to kill them. This example is a good reason to why the federal government should be outlawing late-term abortion. No matter what situation the mother and fetus are in, every fetus should have the right to live a meaningful life. However, the federal government should outlaw abortion after the first trimester because many of the practices are inhumane, all fetuses should have the right to live, and the ways abortion can cause risks for the women.

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).
Not only will the fetus feel pain after a first trimester abortion, but at 25 weeks the fetus is considered viable (Candisky, 2015). When a fetus is considered feasible it is said to say that when the child is born there is a high percentage of the infant being able to survive (Candisky, 2015). This shows that late-term abortion is considered wrong, under them having the right to life, because you shouldn’t be able to abort an unborn child with such a high percentage of them …show more content…
An example of a risk a late-term abortion can have on the mother is the increase of getting breast cancer (Lanfranchi, 2014). This is shown to happen because the mothers breast have not matured fully, which causes more susceptible breast tissue than before the pregnancy (Lanfranchi, 2014). With knowing the high percentage of possibly getting breast cancer, no mother should follow through with late-term abortion. “Hormonal contraceptives increase breast cancer risk by their proliferative effect on breast tissue and their direct carcinogenic effects on DNA” (Lanfanchi, 2014). Therefore, the increased amount of immature breast tissue will give the mother more sites for cancer initiation, giving her a higher risk of getting breast cancer in the future (Lanfranchi,
