Why Abortion Is Murder

Ever since the case of Roe v. Wade in 1973, abortion has been one of the most contentious issues in our society. In some cases people think abortion is murder, in others, it’s reasonable for some cases. Then there are people who use it just to take advantage of it. The legal stance of abortion is a hot topic in today’s society.

Out of 55 million Americans who live in food insecure homes, about 16.7 million are children. Almost 5.5 million children live in families who have lost their home. In Maryland alone, there are currently 250,000 children going hungry each day (Raphel). As we carry our lives day to day , many children are suffering due to hunger, the loss of a home, abuse, and many other causes. This issue has bothered me for as long as I can remember, I always think to myself, why bring a child into this world if a person is not fully capacitated to provide for that child. I 'd like to address the issue of Pro-Choice, and explain why Pro-Choice is not murder, like many people see it as. Pro-Choice as I determined is agreeing on the issue of abortion, believing that a person has the right to choose whether to have a baby, or abort it.

Pro-life. You may ask, what does that mean? To be pro-life, you have to be against anything that kills. To be pro-life, you have to support all life, no matter how old or young, sick or healthy, big or small it is. Life is the most precious gift that our creator has given us and we must protect it whenever we can. I am pro-life because I am against the direct taking of anyone’s life, which we all should be. It doesn't just have to be abortion, which is what we think of when we hear the word “pro-life”. But it means so much more than that. I am pro-life because murder is wrong.

For recent years, people start to deny abortion and stated it as cruel and murder. While it does involve remove fetus or embryo from the mother and kill the baby before it was born, it might not be the worst thing that can happen to the baby. Most people who chose abortion is either can’t afford to have a kid or unable to take care of them. It was one of the case, while other concern about their right as a person. Some might say the baby have right to live, while others believe the mother have right for herself to do what she want to her body. The debate on abortion is not about who right, but it about the consequences of their action.

Abortion has been one of the most popular and argumentative topics that has still yet to be settled. Ultimately the question we can ask when trying to solve this issue is whether or not pregnant women should have the right to kill an unborn baby. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth takes place and is a moral wrong. Can we as a society call ourselves human if we allow the deaths of unborn babies to take place? Those who take the side of pro-choice or as also known as pro-abortion often use statements concerning life, humanity, human rights and freedom to support their claims. I believe abortion should be illegal because we as a society must protect the human lives that are in danger whether or not they are in their first

Many Christians and scientist wonder whether abortion is scientifically or biblically wrong. For a Christian you have to prove that God values life before birth and that he has a pro-life stance. You have to also prove that God considers the time in the womb just another stage. From a scientific perspective you have to prove that the zygote, embryo, or fetus is indeed alive. You also have to consider at what point during development it becomes alive. You would also have to prove that it is human. This would show us that killing or aborting it would be ending life therefore murdering.

Murder is ending the life of something that has been given life, and a new set of DNA. That child now has life and it would be wrong for us to take it away. It is immoral to end any life, no matter what stage of life the fetus/ human is at. The Bible claimed life is a gift given to us, and we often take it for granted. If we don't accept that life begins at fertilization, and abortion is ending all life, then we can't accept that it is wrong to end life, and have abortions. There are so many positives to ending abortion. People who can't have children could have a cheaper option to adopt, and be filled with happiness. If we don't change beliefs about whether or not abortion is wrong, then people will assume it is right, and morally okay to have an abortion. If abortions continue to be allowed, women will feel as though we don't need to be conservative with their decisions. Women will believe they have the excuse of getting abortions if they get pregnant when they don't wish to. We need to enforce this law of making abortion illegal because it is morally wrong to murder an innocent life, and if

“Think yourself the growing baby in a womb, expected to have a life outside after a specific period. But then, you are deprived of that life”. You cannot deprive someone of life just because it is inside you and you don’t want to take care of it. Fetus is a whole living being. You cannot choose to abort him just because it cannot speak for its right or it is not able to choose.

The argument of abortion is largely circumstanced around whether or not a fetus should be considered as a human person and, if indeed it is, when exactly in the stages of development can a person agree with the aforementioned statement. Most pro-life supporters firmly believe that a fetus is a human at the instance of conception and use this as a sole basis to argue that abortion is therefore immoral. Judith Jarvis Thomson is not convinced that this basis is a sufficient defense and approaches the argument by modifying a generic view on abortion. In the article, "A Defense of Abortion," Thomson makes the assumption that a fetus is, in fact, a human person upon conception and has a right to life. She then claims that even if this notion is

“There are nearly 1.2 million abortions performed in the United States each year” (Operation Rescue, 2014). That was 1.2 million innocent lives that were ended before they even had a chance to begin. Abortion has been legal for decades now, and it is time to put a stop to all the murdering of unborn children. This senseless killing of an unborn child needs to be recognized for what it truly is, and that is legalized murder. Abortions should be made illegal in the United States because it is taking the life of an innocent person, there are other options out there and lastly abortions are not only harming the unborn child but also cause harm to the mother.

The United States Supreme Court ruling Roe v. Wade made abortion legal in America. Abortion is ending a pregnancy prematurely. Abortion is usually executed during the first and second trimesters of the gestation period. Women have the right to get an abortion during the first two trimesters, but the state decides whether are not to allow abortion during the final trimester. Abortion is not said to be murder by the United States government, but many people believe that abortion is indeed murder. The big question in whether abortion is murder and if it should be illegal or not points to when a fetus becomes a living being. If the fetus is a living being at conception then abortion is murder in all situations, but if the fetus is not considered

Since 1973, when it became legalized, abortion has been of the most controversial ethical issues in America. In the court case of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court came to the conclusion that women have the right to privacy which includes the right to having an abortion. This ruling has caused many controversies and millions of people throughout America protest against abortion every year. Abortion is an operation of other intervention to end a pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus from the womb. Since its ratification, more than forty-eight million unborn children have been killed by means of abortion in the United States since the Roe vs. Wade judgment (Abortion in the United States).With abortion outlawed, these lives could have been

Choosing to kill another harmless human is mortifying and needs to be taken seriously. If you murder someone you would have a trial and get punished. However, in the womb, no trial would be necessary, it's all about the desire of the mother. Abortion is affecting our civilisation and society dramatically, due to the fact that we are killing the new generations which we are dependent on to help us in the future. Providing this choice will allow

Abortion has been and continues to be among the most contested and heated debates (at least in the U.S.). Despite this, arguments on both sides usually fall short of proving their claim, relying on emotion and political dogma to assert their claim, instead of their side’s rational arguments. Don Marquis (abortion as immoral) and Judith Jarvis Thomson (abortion as not necessarily immoral), however, break this general trend remarkably well. It is the purpose of this paper to outline why abortion is immoral (according to Don Marquis) and, after showing an inadequacy his argument faces from the writing of Judith Jarvis Thomson, to attempt to solve the inadequacy.

Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy that is often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. As life begins at conception, unborn babies are human beings and thus have the right to life. The federal Unborn Victim Of Violence Act that was made to protect unborn babies from murder states that anybody intentionally killing an unborn baby should be punished for killing a human being. Abortion is a murder because it is taking away someone’s life. Even though the baby isn’t born yet, the fetus in the mother’s womb still feels pain while being aborted. No person, not even a mother, has the right to hurt someone. To keep a child, who can’t even speak, from growing and from living is a murder.
