abortion

Would you murder an innocent person? Abortion is one of the common decisions
that women make in the United States. It should be illegal under all circumstances. Many
women have different opinions and reasons; but they shouldn’t be able to choose murder.
All types of abortions should be illegal throughout the whole world. “In the United
States abortion has been legal in every state since the United Supreme court’s decisions
in Roe V. Wade on January 22, 1973” (Jayson). Almost 40 percent of all women will
endtheir pregnancies at some point in their reproductive lives. Common women that end
their pregnancies are young, white, unmarried, poor, and over 40.
Understanding that having a child at a young age puts a person in a difficult
situation, people choose abortion for a lot of different reason such as fathers of the child,
the responsibility, having to get job, depending on government checks, or the changes in
a young person’s lifestyle that they will have to make when they bring that new life into
this world. Not only that, there are other options, other than abortion like adoption.
Adoption changes lots of woman’s lives and its way better then killing a child. Lots of
different help is given to you as well. Social Services help with food stamps, housing,
welfare, child care. Wick which provides basic foods and also Medicaid can also help.
“Planned Parenthood insists it is challenging the state’s new funding ban simply to ensure
continued medical care for thousands of poor women” (Leininger). Right now there’s
something called pregnancy Medicaid where you can take your baby to the doctor and it
would be free. In school there are programs that they provide for young teen that are
expecting soon. If you’re making good grades in school they provide free transportation
and daycare for your child. Sometimes in certain situations when you do ,do adoption the

foster parents give the opportunity to still see as well as which him or her grow up. I,
myself had the choice to get an abortion but looking at my situation from a different
perspective, killing a child because I can’t take care of him or her is wrong.
A numerous amount of people feels that responsibility doesn’t exist on this earth
when it comes to children. A young person has responsibilities like school and work.
Understanding that things happen in life by accident, girls get raped and have to worry
about diseases or getting pregnant.Even then, it’s not fair to the unborn child to suffer the
death penalty. When it comes to having children at a young age, there is a lot of
responsibility that comes with it. Being financially stable is very hard, especially if you
don’t have a job or aren’t getting any help. “Young adults & mostly minors can’t handle
taking on the responsibility of taking care of child” (Just) so they tend to feel stressed out
and begin to think about their future, they feel that abortion is the only way to go. A
young person should stay in school because an education will get you far in life. People
in this world feel that abortions is a quick way to through all types of responsibilities out
the window, for the simple reason of them not being ready to take care of what they
created. That’s why it’s always good to wait until you have a good career going and have
your life together before thinking about being another life into this world. Always use
your head.
There are a lot of different risks that comes with having an abortion afterward such
as heavy bleeding, infections, brain damages, pain during sexual intercourse and
increased risk of breast cancer. “An unwanted pregnancy can affect you and everyone
you love and care for emotionally” (What). Thought of even considering an abortion

hurts mentally and physically. It’s like filling your heart with guilt and pain that you can
never take back. Emotional risks starts at regrets or even having the abortion, a boatload
of guilt problems because right then in there you realize that you have taken a life from a
child that never asked to be here, often destroys the soul, you often go through a period of
denial, angry at yourself , and depression.Even if these emotional episodes don’t take
place immediately, you will reach a point in your life where you will have regrets and
you will suffer emotionally. Think before you decide to spend your life worrying about
the mistake you have made.
Another very important risk that women should be concerned about is death. “It is
claimed by abortion proponents that abortion is safer than childbirth. They claim 1 death
per 100,000 abortions compared to 10 deaths per 100,000 deliveries” (Dr.).There have
been reports of deaths from abortion. “Lime 5 published by Life Dynamics” (Dr.), “The
author and his staff verified 23 deaths from induced abortions in 1992-1993 all reported
to the state agencies” (Dr.). These deaths are mainly caused by infection, hemorrhage
and uterine perforation. So it’s not only your baby’s life you should think about but your
own life as well.
Another reason is religion. All people may not believe in Christianity, but the
Holy Bible clearly say’s in Exodus 20:13 “Thou shall not kill”. Getting an abortion is
killing one of God’s wonderful creations that He put on this earth for a reason. Many
people around this world believe that the Bible condones abortion. The Bible clearly
prohibits taking the life of an innocent person. Babies and unborn babies are qualified to
be a member of the human race. A professional nurse from Johnston Memorial Hospital,

Smith
Mrs. Jennifer Wells, says that there has been a case where a patient has wanted an
abortion but the nurse said that she would not preform one because she did not believe in
abortions. Many nurses and doctors that don’t believe in abortions often asks to exchange
patients with another doctor that would perform one. It could be tough being a nurse or
doctor and all that pressure is put on your shoulders when you don’t believe in something
that you have to face in life. “Whether the baby is born for you to raise or someone else,
the fact remains that is a baby whose life you may be planned to erase form the face of
earth, instead of providing the opportunity for this spirits body that God created has
breathed life in, to live and to be loved by someone who does want them” (What).
Personhood is the quality or condition of being an individual person. Everybody
has a personal life just a well as an unborn child does. He or she may not physically be on
this earth but mentally the baby is just as you are. The book published in 1974 called
Abortion and the meaning of personhood, said “The fetus is not viewed as an
inconvenient growth to be severed from the mother's body like a cancerous tumor.
Rather, the human fetus is asserted to be a new, separate human being who is the rightful
occupant and resident of the womb and who deserves the protection of the basic human
right for life and continued existence”. (Bajema).Everybody is theirown person and
deserves to be treated the same way you would want to be treated which is alive, living
and loved.A baby is a human being too, even though it’s not physically here on this earth
breathing air like we are this very day. Stop and think about your baby before you decide
to take that child’s life away from him or her because of your own faults in life.

In conclusion, women go through lots of trails and challenges in their lives.
Women shouldn’t have the opportunity to take a child’s life. The government needs to
step up, care and help woman make the right decision by making abortions illegal. People
should want to stop abortions instead of trying to influence and encourage individuals to
kill innocent children that don’t deserve the torture. America has a mind of its own, stand
up for what’s right and help save one another child that has his rights to be born.
