Abortion not only ends the life of the child before it has a chance but has health-related issues such as sterility and premature births. Life begins at the moment of conception, and an innocent life shouldn’t be ended due to parent’s lack of financial stability. This problem can be fixed by outlawing abortion. Abortion by definition is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. Abortion ends life, and causes many health related issues for the mother. Abortion ends the life of an unborn child before it has a chance at life. Arguments have been made that the fetus is not a child nor alive until it’s born, however, according to biology life is a distinctive characteristic of a living organism from dead organism or non-living thing, as specifically distinguished by the capacity to grow, metabolize, respond (to stimuli), adapt, and reproduce. A fetus is a living organism, grows inside the womb, it does respond and adapt to its environment. The fetus also has cells dividing and reproducing which makes it a living being according to biology, which is the study of living things. Therefore, abortion is ending the life of an unborn child. Abortion also has several health-related issues such as sterility. Sterility is the quality or condition of being sterile which means not being able to conceive a child. Therefore a woman that had once terminated a pregnancy has a higher chance of sterility in the near future. So when the time comes that she may want to conceive and keep the child, she may not do so. So not only are you terminating the life of a previous child, but possibly preventing yourself from a future wanted pregnancy.

How would you feel if someone took away your ability to live and have a future? You wouldn't have the opportunity to crawl, take your first step, have your first kiss, or experience those butterflies in your stomach at the sight of first love. Millions of special moments, a life, shredded to pieces. This is essentially what abortion does. Abortion is not the answer in the case of an unplanned pregnancy and needs to be stopped! First of all, abortion is a type of unnecessary murder that occurs in inhumane ways and cannot be tolerated. Moreover, there are alternatives to abortion and many families who are looking to adopt. Lastly, the side effects of abortion can cause life threatening health risks to the mother. Excuses will always be made, but the bottom line is that abortion is not acceptable and should be stopped.

Bacteria, fungi, and viruses are all causative agents of septic shock. However, gram negative sepsis bacteria initiate the more severe cases. Two types of bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are examples of these agents. E. coli are rod-shaped bacteria, found in normal flora located in the gastrointestinal tract. They are able to cause a severe infection due to their ability to release toxins. Contrarily, P. aeruginosa are rod-shaped opportunistic bacteria found in soil and water. They bypass a hosts defenses an...
Abortion should be available and a human right! Abortion is a woman's right that should not be limited by governmental or religious authority. Protecting this right is not only a health concern, but also a human rights need. Therefore, it should be considered illegal. I say it should be legal for these three reasons. Abortion should be available because without it, it is a safety hazard. Also, no abortion means more overpopulation and infanticide. Finally, involuntary birth can ruin a woman’s life an is a violation of her human rights.
It takes away the chance for a fetus to develop into a person and experience the important values in life and experience the love, faith, and support from their loved ones and the world. Who knows when a woman who did not undergo an abortion that a baby can bring a lot of happiness and change their life in a positive way. Killing a fetus is like killing an adult human which is not the right thing to do because it has the same moral status. The fetus is a person because it is alive and conscious in the woman’s womb and will soon develop into a person who will have all the characteristics of personhood. Death is the ends of one’s
Giving birth is often looked upon as a miracle of life with remarkable experiences to come. However, others may think this miracle of life will be nothing but problems in their lives. Many females who are not ready for a baby seek abortion as the answer of their problems. Abortion is known to be one of the most debated issues in society. It is best defined as a “medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus” (“Merriam-Webster 's Learner 's Dictionary”). Regardless, if a woman becomes unexpectedly pregnant and is not mentally or financially stable to take care of a baby, abortion is still not the answer. The procedures for abortion is unhealthy for the female, is murder of the fetus, and goes against the 14th Amendment.

Abortion is an issue that is divisive and about which many people feel passionate about. There are those who call themselves pro-choice and believe that a woman should be able to control their own bodies and reproductive decisions. There are those on the anti-abortion side of the issue who are pro-life and believe that fetuses have a right to life. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Abortions have been performed since the beginning of recorded history. There have always been people who have wanted to terminate their pregnancies for a variety of reasons. In the 21st century, the abortion
Abortions should be illegal; an abortion kills a human being that cannot fight back. How would you like if someone pulled you out of bed and duct taped your mouth shut, then just cut off your head? I don’t think that you would like it very well, but they wouldn’t give you a choice. Other countries are making abortions illegal, unless you were a victim of a rape (Abortions- Why this is wrong. As told by a pathologist, 1999). This is still bad but it’s better then just being able to use an abortion like its birth control. Although abortions are not illegal in the lawful term, they should be because it’s just like cold hearted murder. The baby didn’t have a choice and that’s not right.
Abortion is a new habit that women have been using to solve a “problem” and if they think that having a baby is a problem they are totally wrong. Having a baby is a blessing. Sometimes having a baby might not be expected but that is not a reason to take the baby’s life. When a woman aborts it is taking a human’s life away. It is not the baby’s fault if the mother did not take care about her actions the baby has the right to live. Although some may argue that abortion should not be banned because some women feel that they are not ready to have a child. The truth is that abortion should be banned because it robs a human of life. It is a dangerous act and it violates the civil rights.
Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. They both share the same meaning as well, which is the process of not getting pregnant. Let’s starts of with contraception. There are tons of methods to prevent pregnancy to choose from. Choosing not to have sex, birth control pills, birth control shot, birth control patch, birth control implant, vasectomy, IUD, vaginal ring, cervical caps, male condom, female condom, contraceptive pill, contraceptive foam, contraceptive implant, contraceptive sponge, contraceptive suppositories, diaphragm, emergency contraception, fertility awareness method, injectable contraception, intrauterine contraception, the shield, and the withdrawal method. All of these methods may be 99% positive to preventing a pregnancy from happening, but there is always a 1% chance that a pregnancy can happen. Some various methods of contraception, such as diaphragms, condoms and induced abortion have existed for 100’s of years. Despite the wide availability of contraception, unwanted pregnancy remains a huge problem in the U.S. It’s crazy really, so many birth control methods to choose from and still, U.S is one of the areas where abortion is the highest. Moving on, when someone is selecting a contraceptive method, they should really consider the

Abortion is a medical procedure to end a pregnancy. It has become one of the most controversial issues out there. Many people have strong feelings and beliefs for or against it. There are also people on both sides, in my case I am against abortion and for the rest of my life will. Abortion is murder, a killing of an innocent human beings unable to make decisions for themselves. Life begins at conception, and for that reason unborn babies are human beings with the right to live. An unborn baby is capable of feeling pain so they feel an enormous pain during the abortion procedure. In addition, abortion is an extremely dangerous procedure that has many risks. Why would you take away someone’s life when there are many options to
I believe that abortion should be banned. I strongly feel that pregnant women who want to abort their child/fetus should not be allowed to. For one, should one person alone be allowed to control the fate of another? Technically, abortion is murder, since the baby is being killed purposely. Some say that in the early days or weeks of pregnancy (maybe even in the first couple months) the baby is in fact not alive; it is just a bunch of cells. However, the fetus is breathing, and obtaining nutrients from the mother before she even knows that she is pregnant. Within no time, the fetus also has human characteristics: a head, hands, legs, arms, feet, and a torso. Thus, abortion should be legalized only when murder becomes legal, because abortion is murder.
First, I feel that abortion should be illegal because it can result in medical complications and also psychological trauma. It can cause premature birth and could also cause a baby to be handicapped in future pregnancies. A woman who has had an abortion is 2.3 times more likely to get cervical, ovarian, and or liver cancer. Abortion is the cause of 47,000 woman’s death yearly. It can cause depression for at
