During the most common abortion, they inject poison into the baby’s head, then they proceed to pull off each body part of the baby crushing all organs until they get to the head. They crush the skull and pull it out as the last step; this is called a Dilation and Evacuation (D & E) (2nd Trimester Surgical Abortion). Any interruption that takes place after twenty-eight weeks of being pregnant is known as an abortion (Abortion 1). What does the term abort mean? There are many different ways to describe what “abort” means. One way it can be used is that when you abort a mission you are leaving it before the mission is completed. When aborting a baby, this is essentially what is being done. “aborting” a mission, or in this case a pregnancy, that …show more content…

If a woman wants to control her own decisions, she should have not gotten pregnant in the first place if she did not want a baby. A lot of Pro-Choice advocates want to pull the sympathy card when getting pregnant, but what they do not want to own up to is that they knew the chances they took when having sexual relations. Some people would like to state that they were raped. Although I do feel sorry for these women, only 1 percent of all abortions (45 million per year) is from rape or incest (Abortion Statistics 1). If there is a situation of rape, some women want to abort the baby because it is not fair that they were raped so they should not have to keep the baby. This is NOT the baby’s fault. It is the rapist fault so therefore they should be the one who is punished; not the most innocent one in the situation.

We should not decide if a baby needs to live or not because it is not our place to determine if someone is worthy enough to be born and live or not.

God wants us all to protect the innocent because they are not guilty of innocence. In the Bible it is said, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful” (New International Version, Psalms 139:13-14). He knew us before anyone else knew us. He made us and handcrafted us to be one-of-a-kind and different from all others. We are also told, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them” (New International Version, Genesis 1:27). How special is it that mankind is made after the most perfect thing in existence. God made us all in his image, and we should not erase His image from anyone. We should protect the precious life that God has given us. He does not
