Against Abortion

Why is it that by 21 days into the fetal development the baby's heart begins to

beat, but yet in most people's eyes the baby is still not 'technically' alive' That heart beat means nothing, it doesn't represent a human person whom God has created in his own image and has had a plan for that baby ever since the beginning of time. To most people that statement isn?t allowing women and their families freedom of choice. And yet that baby isn't given any say in its freedom to live. This paper will give many supporting statistics towards the right to life, I am pro-life.

*Forty-nine percent of pregnancies among American women are unintended, half

of these are terminated by an abortion. Each year, two out of every one hundred women

aged fifteen- forty-four have an abortion, forty-eight percent of them have had at least

one previous abortion and sixty-one percent have had a previous birth. This means that

these women understand the joy of a baby being born, and still choose to take away their

privilege to live. They?ve carried this children before and know the happiness of seeing

their own healthy child in their arms for the first time. Why then, when they know they

are creating new life inside of them, choose to deprive their child the right to live and

experience everything life has to offer. They willingly decide to kill that child, certainly for their own benefit.

Each year, an estimated forty-six million abortions occur worldwide. Of these,

twenty million procedures are obtained illegally.* Why are there stories on the news

everyday of people being murdered and mistreated and the culprit being sent to jail of

punished in some way for the crime they?ve committed. Yet I don?t think I?ve ever heard

on the news of a women being sent to jail for the murder of her unborn baby. It?s still

illegal, it?s the murder of a child, they are given no freedom, and the mother goes

unpunished. *On average, women give at least three reasons for choosing abortion; 3/4

say that having a baby would interfere with work, school or other responsibilities; about

2/3 say they can?t afford a child; and 1/2 say they don?t want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner. A baby would interfere with their

make a difference too, but the Supreme Court won?t allow him to. Partial-birth abortion

is banned in certain states in the United States, its a horrible image to put in someone's head. However, some of the pictures I've seen really make people wonder how someone could destroy human life like that. Abortion all together should be banned, but some people are more pro-choice than pro-life. Senator John Kerry is pro-choice, if he is

elected president there is virtually no hope in the end of abortion, and Roe v. Wade.

President Bush is at least attempting to change the law, but is constantly being stuck

down. John Kerry will do nothing in our country to stop the murder of unborn children.

His concern is in Iraq, where a few people are dying each day, while every third baby

conceived in America is killed by an abortion. Kerry wants to raise taxes for the wealthy, I wonder how they would feel about this tax raise knowing that some of it could be contributing to the murder of an unborn child. If Kerry wins the election basically all hope of ending abortion is crushed for another four years. Our worry won?t be on the Supreme Court, it will be on our pro-choice President.
