Abortion should be Illegal

The words of an unborn baby are ones that almost no one ever thinks of, or hears. One of this country's most controversial topics is abortion. However, if one sees the constitutional infringement to women by the restriction of abortion; the torment to the unwanted child; and the anguish society has to sustain, then this topic would not be so debatable. Too many people do not see the effect that abortions cause. It is a very dangerous offence that affects the mother, father, the community, and most importantly, the fetus, and that is why abortion should be illegal in Canada. First, abortion is against God’s law in many Holy books such as the Bible and the Quran. Secondly, abortion does not only affect the individual, but the community as a whole, and the rights of those people are infringed on. However, abortion does nothing in the cases of rape, or women’s rights, which is the constant argument people in favour of abortion argue. And lastly, abortion should be seen for what it is, murder.
What gives us the right to decide who should live and who should die? That is God's decision. The fetus, the innocent human life whose only protection in the world is its mother's womb can no longer feel protected because even its very own mother could have it murdered. Yet that baby did nothing to deserve to have its life snatched away so suddenly. How can a tiny baby who can feel, breathe, and move be condemned to die without ever saying or doing anything wrong? In our constitution, we are all given the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Why is it that a baby is not given these rights as well?

  • Analysis Of Simon Wiesenthal's The Sunflower

    In the symposium section, Abraham Joshua Heschel quoted, “No one can forgive crimes committed against other people. It is therefore preposterous to assume that anybody alive can extend forgiveness for the suffering of any one of the six million people who perished.” (171). Simon Wiesenthal would possibly never forgive the SS officer because he doesn’t represents to those who suffer and died by the SS officers because he is just one jewish person out of many different jews that died. At that point, Simon Wiesenthal does not represent the rest of the jews and other Holocaust

  • Analysis Of The Sunflower By Simon Wiesenthal

    In particular, he addresses questions he has about limits and opportunities for forgiveness. In the beginning of the book Wiesenthal tells his encounter with an SS officer who was dying. This dying man’s request was that Wiesenthal forgive him for the crime he had previously committed against the Jews. This SS trooper had participated in the mass killing of the Jewish people. When the Jews had been trapped inside a burning building their vain attempts of escaping were met by the SS officers’ harsh brute rejection. The Nazi soldiers shot and killed each Jew that managed to escape the burning building. The SS officer requested for the nurse to bring a Jew to him. Wiesenthal was on a labor brigade at a hospital when he met Karl. Karl was deathly wounded and was being tormented by his conscious. He thought that absolution could be received from another Jew. Wiesenthal was not able to bring himself to grant the dying SS troopers request, because he felt it was not his place to do so. Even though he left the dying man’s...

  • Analysis Of Simon Wiesenthal

    In most cases when you’re being asked for forgiveness it’s for something that is relatively small in comparison to what Wiesenthal had to go through with being directly affected by the Holocaust. However, what should you do if you’re faced with something on that scale? Is it even possible to forgive someone who seems to only be apologizing because he’s on his death bed? I would find it very hard to do what both the Dalai Lama and Kushner are suggesting. Even if I was in Wiesenthal’s shoes and someone like Seidl had lived a long life filled with regret I don’t know that I would be able to truly forgive them for committing such atrocities. So forgiveness for me wouldn’t be possible unless they were forced into doing something that they were fundamentally against, which, in the case of Seidl, he wasn’t. After hearing about how he went into the effort with so much gusto, that’s where the line would be drawn. Much the same as Wiesenthal, I would have just walked away. There would be no forgiveness from me, and certainly no

  • The History of the Cosmological Argument for the Existence of God

    1357 Words  | 3 Pages

    In conclusion, there must have been a necessary being which served as the first cause of the Universe. This necessary being can be referred to as God. I make this conclusion due to my understanding of the evidence given above and the fact that there are no reasonable arguments that beyond reasonable doubt can prove otherwise. In addition, it is my finding that the roots of the Cosmological Argument are firmly cemented in a posteriori observation (induction), as opposed to purely rational thought which is deductive. Knowing how this argument is classified is imperative because it is essential to understanding the structure of the argument and how it arrives at its conclusion.

    I am German, but I am completely against the acts the Nazis committed against the Jews in the Holocaust. I would never personally be able to bring myself to commit horrific acts and murders against another human being like the Nazis did in mass numbers. I personally agree with Simon not forgiving Karl because it is very hard to forgive a man for committing such cruel and barbaric acts against other human beings. Yes, it is true that Karl may have been forced by leaders or higher powers of the Nazi regime to carry out these horrific acts, but he still could have refused. He still went along with it though, even if he may have been killed if he had not done so. He still committed genocide and murdered/tortured other innocent human beings for no specific reason at all. Also, we have to bring into the picture that Karl would still get a sunflower put by his grave after he died, while Wiesenthal will not because he is Jewish. Simon uses the image of the sunflower to represent Karl’s relationship with God. There will be light from God upon the dark graves of the cruel/dark soldiers who committed the horrific acts against the Jews. This can be another reason why Wiesenthal cannot forgive Karl, because his afterlife and relationship with God is certain,

  • Abortion in Canada

    As one knows, some unwanted pregnancies could often be harmful and distressing for a woman. Women should have the right over their body to choose to sustain the fetus or not. In the past decades, women did not have their freedom of abortion in many countries of the world. There have always been controversies going on about abortion. Each individual has dissimilar views on the legality of abortion. Some people are against abortion for personal religious purposes and beliefs. For those who don’t believe in abortion, it is because they see it as killing a fetus, which is a human being. Others support abortion because they believe in women’s rights. Laws of abortion vary in each country, and abortion is not legal all over the world. It is illegal under any conditions but only permitted to save woman’s life if in countries such as Brazil, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, and Ireland.

  • Explain How Child Development Influence Current Practice

    508 Words  | 2 Pages

    F. Skinner’s behaviour theory states Children learn from their experience. For e.g. if a child gets told-off for tearing pages from a book, he/she does not repeat the same act. In school teachers appreciate good behaviour by praise, smileys or stickers which encourages them to continue behaving well. Teachers give timeout or detentions in case child displays wrong behaviour. For e.g. pushing peers, hitting/kicking other children or throwing classroom equipment at peers, speaking rudely, disrupting the session, etc. Both positive and negative rewards become part of child’s experience and they learn about acceptable social behaviour and develop their own

    The existence of God has been a question that has plagued mankind since it begging of times.

  • Abortion should be Banned

    410 Words  | 1 Pages

    A mother kills her unborn child because it is unwanted, but she's not charged for murder. Is it right? There is about 46 million abortions per year worldwide, and approximately 115,000 per day, but why? Is it because rape or incest, health problems with either the mother or the child, or just because the baby's unwanted or inconvenient at the time? (The Alan Guttmacher Institute.) Abortion should be banned because too many babies are being killed from abortion, if you don't want a child you could always put it up for adoption, and most mothers don't understand the consequences that occur from abortion.

    Diabetes is a malady in which the body does not create or legitimately utilize insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is expected to change over sugar, starches and other nourishment into vitality required for day by day life. The reason for diabetes keeps on being a secret, albeit both hereditary qualities and ecological components, for example, heftiness and absence of activity seem to assume parts, without insulin a man can't live. At the point when nourishment is eaten, regularly it is changed into sugar and conveyed in the blood to all cells in the body. The sugar in the blood causes the pancreas (an organ found behind the stomach) to make and discharge a hormone called insulin. Insulin is

  • Analysis Of St. Thomas Aquinas Cosmological Argument

    1222 Words  | 3 Pages

    The existence of God has always been the most debatable topic due to the absence of concrete evidence to prove the existence of God. However, four philosophers have attempted to provide a rational ideal that God absolutely does exist. St. Thomas Aquinas is the first and the most well-known philosopher to provide his Cosmological argument. The arguments’ claim stems from the ideal that some things are caused, but nothing can cause itself. The Teleological argument discovered by an English Clergyman named William Paley is based on the concept that every object has a design, and every design has a designer. Former Archbishop of Canterbury, Saint Anselm provides a different approach by using an Ontological argument to persuade the existence of
