Pro-choice activists believe that abortion is the choice of women whether or not she wants to receive one. They want women to be given "personal liberty", so they can have abortion at any time, the right to choose to have an abortion is so personal and essential to women's lives. Pro- choice activist are arguing that a man can withdraw from a relationship as soon as he finds out about a pregnancy. There is no question of him involving it after that, he has made his choice. It is only fair to say that women should be given the same choice. If one doesn't want to hold the responsibilities of a child than she should be able to have the choice of abortion as part of her options.
Women choose to have an abortion because pregnancy and childbirth can prevent them from keeping their jobs, from feeding their families, and from serving others in ways they consider necessary and appropriate. Pregnancy and childbirth may determine whether a woman ever gets to start or complete her education, which will significantly influence her ability to support herself and her family. The availability of abortion makes it possible for people not only to choose the number of children they want, but also to create the kind of family life they have always wanted for themselves. If a women cannot choose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, she is denied the right to the "possession and control" of her own body. One of the most sacred rights of common law is to choose and if a women can't do this than their most important possession is taken away. Abortion isn't only a women's right, it's a women's choice. This is what Pro- choice activist belief, but the question is how many people agree with them.
However, in my own personal belief allowing the legality of abortion is immoral. A pre-born child is given the status of a "product of pregnancy" and never seen as the miracle only a woman can create. Compassion for the small one is drowned out under a demand for "rights", but what about the rights for the unborn. "A women has a right to her own body" is an idea more and more women are realizing, but that idea ignores the unborn child's right to his or her body. Never, in modern times, has the state granted to one citizen the
right to have another killed in order to solve their personal, social, or
economic problems. The embryo is its own being that should have it's own
rights to protect it. If one was to abort an embryo than, that human life would never be duplicated. There is a better way to solve our problems than by killing innocent children. A fertilized egg is the most beautiful, most innocent being that we could ever create, and can redeem even the worst of our mistakes.
This fertilized egg is not just a mass of tissue, for if it that than there
would be no debate. A fetus feels pain. A study about abortion has demonstrated the remarkable responsiveness of the human fetus to pain, touch and sound. The fetus responds to light, heat, cold, and
taste. Observations of the fetal movements in saline abortions indicate
that the fetus experiences discomfort as it dies. One doctor who, the New
York Times, wrote, "conscientiously performs" saline abortions stated, "When
he injected the saline, he often saw an increase in fetal movements". In another case, a film using mew sonographic techniques shows the outline of the child in the womb thrashing to resist the suction device before it tears off the head. Then you see the dead child dismembered and the head crushed. This is murder. Nobody who sees this film will speak again of "painless" abortion. After the doctor who performed this procedure saw this film, he never performed another abortion again. But, many doctors still do perform abortion, and in some instances a live child is killed. "About once a day, somewhere in the wo, something goes wrong and an abortion results in a live baby". Forty-five out of six hundred and seven mid trimester
abortions done in Connecticut in 1974-1976 resulted in live births in these cases the child was killed in cold-blooded murder. It is immoral to kill a baby, and therefore abortion is immoral.
Finally, I have come to the end of my essay and after analyzing the advantages and disadvantages, I have decided to say that abortion should be banned all over the world because of it's immoral and since life begins at conception. You may understand why abortion is immoral after you read my last paragraph, and I am sure you will agree with me.
Abortion is simply defined as murder. Life begins at conception because before the birth, the child’s heart beats, the gastric juices flow in the stomach, and all its necessary organs have been made present. This is a child that thinks, dreams, and feels pain, so will you then decide to kill this innocent baby? Or would you like to watch this innocent baby being killed because somebody is having personal problems? I will leave you to answer this question.
