Every time a baby is conceived it is another miracle God has given to us. But lately the miracles God has given to us, have been destroyed. Since 1973, when abortion was legalized in the United States, more than 57 million babies have been destroyed violently in some way. These pre-born babies have been denied their most basic right of all, the right to life. By being denied their right to life, the Declaration of Independence calls this an unalienable right. In the United States alone there is about 2.3 abortions taking place every minute of the day. Just think that is 137 abortions per hour and 2,900 abortions in one single day ("Abortion Statistics”). Abortion should be illegal across the world because it is the taking of innocent lives …show more content…
The side effects of the abortion is not just physical, it is very much so emotional. In several cases, mothers who have had abortions are left with emotional trauma. Some emotional trauma includes, eating disorders, depression, flashbacks and suicidal thoughts. Along with emotional side effects there is physical sides effects of an abortion. Some of the physical side effects mothers deal with is damage to the cervix and internal organs, not having a complete abortion, infection and scarring of the uterus lining. With abortions the mothers have a higher risk of developing cancer. According to the American Pregnancy …show more content…
Abortion is the termination of pregnancy which translates into the killing of the baby inside of the womb. Abortion is a form of murder; it is a form of murder because the doctors are killing a helpless child inside of the womb. “It seems to me clear as daylight that abortion would be a crime” (Gandhi). In the definition of abortion it uses the phrase “termination of pregnancy”. That phrase means “termination of life”. Abortion is considered murdering because the definition of murder is the unlawful killing of one human being by another. Abortion fits perfectly into that definition and category.
When someone conceives a child, the minute the heart beats, life begins, but where does life
Abortion refers to the termination of one’s pregnancy, resulting in the removal of one’s fetus to prevent it from being born. While the concept is simple enough, the crux of the argument lies in the morality of this procedure and whether or not a woman should be allowed to sacrifice a fetus to better her own life. Abortion must continue to be legalized in order to ensure that women have that choice.
As defined by the Merriam- Webster dictionary, abortion is “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by resulting in or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus as a spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during
Scientific research has successfully shown that abortion cause many psychological side effects. It leaves the woman with many strong feelings about their decision. They feel sadness, wishing that their situation could have been different and grief for a lost life. Guilt arises because they know a fetus represents an independent life. Anger builds up towards other people having to do with their decision.
Abortion; as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary is, “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. This is the definition of abortion of which I will be reviewing its ethical status. After Roe vs Wade, the supreme court simultaneously decided that women have the right of privacy under the 14th amendment; making it acceptable to abort a pregnancy within the first trimester (Vaughn 119). The main argument on abortion is really a debate on human life, and whether it has value from the moment of conception. Each and every human life is composed of intrinsic value, and has the right to live. Killing an innocent human being is wrong, and fetuses are innocent human beings;making it morally wrong and impermissible to abort a fetus (Vaughn 143).
Abortion by definition means the way of ending pregnancy by removing fetus from the womb before it is able to survive independently. Abortion is an extremely debatable issue because while some people are completely against it, others believe that a woman should have the right to choose. Abortion decision is like killing own child or killing an innocent human life before coming out from uterus. I will explain how a human life is being destroyed, the process in which they destroy the fetus, and how to avoid this situation all together I believe that abortion is morally impermissible.
In 1997, there were 1,184,758 legal abortions. That is over one million lives not lived. Imagine; those babies could have been lawyers, doctors, presidents… These babies could have found the cure to cancer. Merle Hoffman, an abortion provider, says that “Abortion is as American as apple pie.” But it’s not. To anyone, regardless of beliefs, that comment should be found disturbing. Abortion is destroying our culture by making society devalue the sanctity of life. It’s murder and it may have lasting physical and emotional side effects on the women that receive the abortion. Abortion, in all stages of pregnancy, needs to become an illegal procedure.
1.0 Introduction There are many arguments surrounding the abortion debate. An issue dealing with abortion that has not been explored very thoroughly is the issue of Post-Abortion-Syndrome. This paper will examine the psychological and physiological effects of abortion, on the women who had them, later in life. This paper dealing with abortion will not explore either side of the abortion debate because to do so would introduce biases.
Not only do these women bear social side effects, but abortion can psychologically affect the mental and emotional state of mind of the person each woman differently as well. The emotional side effects of having an abortion are just as real and harmful as the physical side effects. Although an important aspect that leads to negative emotional effects has to do with the acceptance about the baby inside them. For example those who believe that the fetus inside of them is not a baby or a living being, until it is born or once they see proof of existence, are more likely to have a less of a chance experiencing negative emotional side effects. Most certainly those who do believe it is a baby are more likely to experience negative emotional side
Many citizens do not think of an unborn child being a human beings ,but in reality it has every right that any other born child has. Abortion should be illegal because cases of rape are not an exception, laws already protect the rights of unborn children, and mental and physical effects that occur in abortions.
Is abortion murder? Murder is defined as "illegal killing with malice aforethought." Abortion fails this definition for two reasons. First, abortion is not illegal, and second, there is no evidence to suggest that expecting mothers feel malice towards their own flesh and blood.
Let's talk about abortion in general it's murder , when you abort the fetus your killing a living thing . The definition of kill is cause of death of (a person,an animal ,or other living thing) the synonym of kill is murder . The fetus is not just a group of cells onces its alive its living .

Abortion is when a developing fetus or embryo is removed from the mother’s womb before it can survive on its own. This can be done by chemical or physical means. Some women terminate their pregnancy late or within the first 28 weeks of their pregnancy . For those who choose to have an abortion is a very emotional issue. This is and always has been a ferocious debate. Lots of people tend to disagree and agree on when life begins. Some would say abortion is no different than murder.
Abortion can be described as the fact of terminating a pregnancy.Like people who believe that abortion is wrong say,we can consider abortion as a murder. If killing an innocent human being is wrong and is consider as a murder, the abortion is also a murder.To be more specific, I am going to talk about three points which support my thesis. First of all, it is a universal thought that the mother is the one who delivers the baby, which gives her the power to decide whether she can either or not keep her pregnancy. No matter the circumstances which cause the pregnancy, i meant whether she was raped or had sex without protection, women should not terminate their pregnancy. Many people say that a lot of women abort because of some personal reasons
After having an abortion, there are many mental, physical, and emotional side effects (American Pregnancies). Mentally women may feel guilty, they might regret the procedure. These side effects may not last forever. The side effects that will last a while are physical. Many patients experience abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, damage to other organs, and perforation of the uterus. Regular trips to the doctor can help eliminate these side effects in a short period of time. The last side effects are emotional, which are a lot like mental. Some side effects are feeling angry, or experiencing loneliness. Although there are many side effects none of them are permanent, and by preforming a safe abortion, these women can experience little or even no side
Women who have an abortion may have mental problems after having an abortion according to a 2002 peer-reviewed study published by the Southern Medical Journal found of more than 173,000 American women who had an abortion were 154% more likely to commit suicide than other women who did not have an abortion. “Women who have abortions are also at a higher risk of breast cancer” (Yubei Huang). Women and babies are not the only victims of the abortion industry, men are hurt too. According to the Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, a study of men whose partners had abortions found 51.6% of the men reported regret, 45.2% felt sadness, and 25.8% experienced depression (Priscilla Coleman and Eileen S. Nelson).
