There are other methods of abortion, such as taking misoprostol with methotrexate, which has pretty much the same effect as the morning-after pill, each method using a different way to get rid of the fetus.
I believe that abortion is morally wrong and should be made illegal. Human life begins at conception therefore; abortion is the murder of a person. Every human being has the right to live and that right should be protected. The fetus is in no real sense “part” of the mother but is a separate and distinct human being. Most women have abortions for their own convenience without even considering the fact that they will be killing another human being. People “for” abortion argue that the fetus is nothing but a bit of tissue but that does not change the fact that there is miniature person in that womb. A lot of people say that abortion can be justified if the mother was impregnated as a result of rape but why punish the child for the sin of the father? Women can get immediate medical treatment to prevent pregnancy.
In the UK and US, contraceptives are available almost anywhere so there shouldn’t be any unwanted pregnancies. Making abortion only encourages teenagers and adults to have sex.
There absolutely is no need for abortion when others who might not be able to have children want to adopt a baby. There is a lack of adoptable babies mainly because of abortion being legal. The abortion could have psychological effects on the woman who will have to live with the feeling of guilt for the rest of her life. Abortion is not as safe as a normal pregnancy and it greatly increases the chances of miscarriage in future pregnancies. Highly developed fetuses already have their central nervous system developed so the baby is able to feel intense pain when it is killed in abortion.
Abortion is morally wrong and should be made illegal. It makes me sick to know that a mother would choose to have their baby killed. The right of the unborn baby to live supersedes any right of a woman to “control her own body.” The bottom line is that abortion is wrong because it is taking a human life.
Here is a poem I found on the Internet. It is fictional but might make a pro-abortion person feel differently about abortion.
Dear Mommy, I am in Heaven now, my heart has been broken. I so wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened. I was so excited when I began realizing my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw I had fingers and toes. I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping. Even from my earliest days, I felt a special bonding between you and me. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost all of the day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy. That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into that warm, comfortable place I was in. I was so scared, I began screaming, but you never once tried to help me. Maybe you never heard me. The monster got closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming, "Mommy, Mommy, help me please; Mommy, help me." Complete terror is all I felt. I screamed and screamed until I thought I couldn't anymore. Then the monster started ripping my arms off. It hurt so bad; the pain I can never explain. It didn't stop. Oh, how I begged it to stop. I screamed in horror as it ripped my leg off. Though I was in such complete pain, I was dying. I knew I would never see your face or hear you say how much you love me. I wanted to make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't; all my dreams were shattered. Though I was in utter pain and horror, I felt the pain of my heart breaking, above all. I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. No use now, for I was dying a painful death. I could only imagine the terrible things that they had done to you. I wanted to tell you that I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand. And soon, I no longer had the breath to say them; I was dead. I felt myself rising. I was being carried by a huge angel into a big, beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone. The angel took me to Jesus and set me on His lap. He said He loved me, and He was my Father. Then I was happy. I asked Him what the thing was that killed me. He answered, "Abortion. I am sorry, my child; for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the monster. I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but I couldn't; the monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live. I just wanted you to know I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to die. Also, Mommy, please watch out for that abortion monster. Mommy, I love you and I would hate for you to go through the kind of pain I did. Please be careful. Love, your baby girl.
