Worldwide, approximately 42 million abortions occur per year that’s approximately 115,000 per day. In the United States, 1.21 million abortions occurred in the year of 2005, which roughly comes out to be 3 per day (4). Moreover, 1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest, 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems with either the mother or the child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (4). Ending an unborn baby’s life is not constituted by choice—no, it’s constituted by deliberate murder. First and foremost, slaughtering an unborn baby via abortion is wrong because an unborn baby is still biologically considered a human being. Pro-choice advocates support assertions, such as the prevention of overpopulation, exclusions of rape or incest victims, and constituting woman’s right to abort her own baby. However,

Dr. Jerome LeJeune, a professor of genetics at the University of Descartes describes conception as, “After fertilization has taken place a new human being has come into being. [It] is no longer a matter of taste or opinion… it is plain experimental evidence. Each individual has a very neat beginning, at conception.” Eclectically, Dr. Jerome is not the only one who argues about what constitutes a human being’s life, but also a number of respected embryology textbooks and scientists profoundly support fertilization to be the start of human life. Although many scientists find that a baby at conception to be the start of human life, a lot of cunning abortion advocates will argue with fallacies. Fallacy number one: Abortion prevents overpopulation. False. The current birth rate in America is a ratio of 1.9 children per family (8). Globally, the total fertility rate at replacement is 2.33 children per family. At this rate, global population growth would tend towards zero (1). The myth concerning overpopulation of the world is far from the
