Abortions have been a much known topic for the century in the United States. It is a topic that has been debated on whether or not it should be illegal. Some people think that to have an abortion is a sin. Some think that women who abort children are evil, and are murderers. Often they do not understand the reason on why babies are aborted. It requires our immediate attention because each day and year, there are many children that are aborted and less babies that are able for adoption. Soon to be mothers are often affected by this problem. Abortions should be outlawed all together. There needs to be a solution to this problem. Maybe those women who have abortions should be punished for doing so. Women who have abortions should be sentenced for murder. Even though the child was not full term, it was a life that was taken. There would be two options for these women. First option would be to be sentenced on death row by lethal injection, suffering a slow and painful death. The second opinion would be to serve times for committing murder. The minimum number of years that they should receive should be determined by the number of months that they were far along. If they were three months along, then they should serve 3 years. There should be no remorse for them because of what they did. If they didn’t want the baby, then maybe they should have placed the child up for adoption. According to the Bible, women should not have abortions. “Likewise, Exodus 21 draws a clear demarcation between the killing of a person and the killing of a fetus. Exodus 21:12, for example, reads: Whoever strikes a person mortally shall be put to death. If it was not premeditated, but came about by an act of God, then I will appoint for you a place to which the k... ... middle of paper ... ...ncreased pain, an aversion to sex and/or males in general, or the development of a promiscuous life-style.” It is also said that women who have abortions are not guaranteed to be able to conceive children. Women usually can experience the following physical complications: cervical, ovarian, and liver cancer, uterine perforation, cervical lacerations, placenta previa, premature delivery with the next baby, an ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and lower general health. In the end, I think women should be punished for abortions. Abortions are not always the best option for getting rid of babies. The Bible hints at it as well as many other people. Countries also don’t agree with abortions. Sentence these women to death already! A fetus is a life and talking a life is murder! Abortions are not the way to go as towards getting rid of a baby.

Just image yourself in this type of predicament. Imagine the emotional pain of being raped, imagine waking up every day for the next nine months with a child inside your womb that was forcedly put there against your will. By forcing that woman to carry full term and deliver, you are forcing that woman through a great deal of emotional pain as well as physical pain. You are punishing her for having the ability to carry a child and potentially scarring her for the rest of her life. The woman now has to take care of this baby on her own, a baby that is a constant reminder of the horrible crime of which she was a victim. This child will be at many disadvantages before it is even born such as the resentment from its own mother, having no father around, the possibility of mental and physical deformities from being a product of incest, etc. How is this fair to either the mother or the child? It’s not. If you believe a woman should be forced to give birth no matter what, you are saying that a woman’s life is only important until she is pregnant. You are now classifying her as a vessel, not a human life with rights and
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate “(Psalm 127:3-5). That bible shows that child is the gift of God. They are a gift that is given from God. Protecting their life from any danger should be our adult human being first priority. Fetus is the most break-able and so innocent creatures. They cannot protect themselves and save their life from any dan-ger. God gave the child to us so we protected and save them not to damage and risk their life. According to the life new report 1.2 million babies die from abortion just in the USA. Lauren (Henriquez, 2013) Abortion statistic. It is very sad news. Imagine the new coming generation which their life is cut in short because of unethical law that exist in the country. It is an extraor-dinary loss. The country is losing a future doctor, investors, teachers, solider, farmers etc. Fetus regardless of the age should have the right that every one of us. They should have the right of life and being protected from any
...dering of children who have never gotten a chance at a future, should be considered a crime. I think that this idea can reduce the rate of abortion in many ways. Why? Because she would not have to deal with a situation where she would feel afraid, or where the child would be undesirable.
Many of you hear today would argue the point that it is not the baby’s fault, and that it should be allowed to live life to the fullest, but in reality the baby is just an embryo it is not alive, it is not even capable of thought. But if the mother has to have the baby she will experience pain and suffering whereas the baby will feel nothing. What if a girl was raped, and she was forced to go through with the pregnancy to a man who ruined her entire life, to go through nine months of labour and have the feeling of pain everyday to have a child that should never have been born. I feel that refusing a women’s right to have an abortion is extremely sexist. A woman should have the right to remove something that is unwanted in her body, when men disagree it just shows that they have no clue what it is like to have to give birth to something that is not meant to be there.
A woman who does not want her child, should put the child up for adoption, not have an abortion and not even give the child a chance to live. Adoptions are good things, abortions are not. Abortions do not give children the chance to live. We are killing the child even before the child has a chance to do anything. I mean, if you have an abortion, you could be killing the next Albert Einstein, or even the next Michael Jordan. Give the child the chance to live.
But what if the woman was raped? Some people would argue that the woman should have the right to have an abortion, because it was not her fault that the baby was conceived. It was not the babies fault either, so the baby should not be punished? If the pregnant woman does not want to carry the baby for the full 9 months, the fetus could be placed in a surrogate mother, who will nurture the fetus inside of her, and when the baby is born, the baby will be placed in the arms of the original mother. And if she does not want the baby, she can put the baby up for adoption, and be placed in a home where its life will be cherished forever rather than simply thrown away and forgotten.
I believe every woman has a right to decide what she wants for her body. If a woman wants to get an abortion, she should have that choice. She should not be punished for making a decision that she feels she needs to make. We should not have to punish someone, because of what they want to do with their body. I understand people believe abortion is wrong, but it's also wrong to take away a woman's right to decide what she wants to do with her body. If I knew someone who wanted to get an abortion, I wouldn't get mad at them and say it's wrong. Because I know it's their decision to make, and nobody else's decision. It's a personal decision every woman should have the right to choose.
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.
Pavone, Frank. “ The Bible's Teachings Against Abortion”. Educational Resources, Priest for Life. (2009) 102-107. 9 Feb 2014.
Many people try to justify their actions for abortions, insisting that it is in the best interests of the child. The reasons women have abortions are not simple and can be difficult to understand, they can cover a broad range from rape, deformity, not being able to provide for the child, in another relationship, or unplanned pregnancy. Some women state, “I may not be able to provide it with a good life” to “It was bad timing and I can’t support a child right now”. In the case of rape it’s not the baby’s fault, instead of punishing the criminal it is giving the ultimate sentence to the child, the capital punishment death. “The circumstances of a preborn child's creation should not modify, let alone negate, his or her right to life. In other words, the preborn baby has a right to life regardless of the circumstances under which he or she w...
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.
I believe that women have the right to have abortions. Their body is their own to do with what they please. Although most people do not know their situation, the woman would know whats right for herself. For instance, not being able to take care of the baby psychically and emotionally. Some may argue that abortions for raped victims is a horrific idea however, those who have not experienced the physical and emotional damage should not have a say in what she should do with her body.
A child is completely innocent. A child did not decide that his parents would have sex or that they would use ineffective contraception. An unborn child is always innocent and should never be punished.” (Kristi Burton Brown) It’s not the child 's fault that the parents didn’t used protection during sex. The child shouldn’t be punished do to the parents being irresponsible. “Words cannot explain the horrible heartbreak I feel knowing I was responsible for ending a life that was a gift from God.” (abort73) Mothers have abortions not realizing their ending a child 's life and once they realize what they have done they regret it and regrets always come back to remind what horrible act they have done. “I love my baby more than anything in this world, even though I wasn 't brave enough to keep it.” (abort73) The mother made the decision to get an abortion not thinking about the harm it will cause her life but she still realized that the love she has for her unborn baby remains. To conclude, Premature birth ought not be lawful in the United States since it rebuffs blameless
Women are using abortion as a method of birth control, it’s horrible how some women kill an unborn child for convenience. There are so many ways to avoid getting pregnant and prevent abortion. If you are not financially stable, don’t have unprotected sex and prevent murder. A women that can’t support her child don’t have the need to have an abortion when she can completely confidential and for free give her child for adoption to a family that will love and protect him or her. A baby that is a product of a rape should not be killed because just like his mother, the unborn has no fault of been brought into the world. In addition, killing an innocent baby won’t make a women forget the rape. It is true that the unborn cannot survive outside the uterus on his owns, and that the fetus most be at least 22 weeks to have the chance of surviving, is also true that the unborn is in his mother’s body, but is not her body. By that being said the unborn has the right to live just like any of us. An unborn child is capable of experiencing pain by 20 weeks after
Abortions have always been a very controversial topic. Over the years we continue to fight for or against it. One can say that is one of the most talked and argued topic in the United States. An abortion is when a woman terminates her pregnancy before the fetus is viable using various of methods. Some argue that abortions should be illegal and considered murder, while others, from a religious point of view, say that no one has the right to take away the life of a person, in this case the fetus. However, others insist, that abortions are a basic women’s right.
