More Adoption, Less Abortion

        With the pressures of peers come the pressures of sex. More and more of America’s

youth are becoming sexually active and less and less of this youth use a form of sexual

protection. Unprotected sex may lead to an unwanted pregnancy, and in turn, abortion. This does

not pertain only to teenage pregnancies but adult pregnancies as well. Women of all ages are

choosing to abort for various reasons such as financial instability, emotional instability, and even

shame. Although abortion is becoming a ubiquitous and popular practice for an unplanned

pregnancy, it is not the solution. Abortion has more potential hazards than benefits and this

medical procedure should be banned and made illegal. An adoption should be the first priority to

be considered by unplanned pregnant women, and doctors.

Abortion is an inhumane form of murder and immoral to the developing fetus. This

medical procedure does not give an unwanted child a chance at life, therefore “almost 1 out of 4

American babies are aborted” (Bender, David and Bruno Leone 28). Abortion does not grant the

 child a say in his or her future. It takes away his or her life without considering the child’s

potential. Abortion has become so common that “every year in America, 1.5 million abortions

are performed. This statistic has been used to portray abortion as a modern-day Holocaust... Each

abortion kills an unborn child... Just as the Jewish Holocaust in Nazi Germany was legal but

morally wrong, abortion is legal buy not moral” (Bender, David and Bruno Leone 27). Like the

Holocaust, abortion kills a significant number of innocent children. The Holocaust is viewed as

mass murder and if abortion can be depicted as a present day Holocaust, it considered as mass

murder as well. Abortion is murder in the most inhumane fore. In methods such as dilation and

curettage, “the cervix is dilated or stretched to permit the insertion of a loop shaped steel knife.

The body of the baby is cut up into pieces and removed and the placenta is scraped off the

uterine wall” (Rodgers). Just the thought of slicing a fetus into pieces is inhumane. Intentionally

doing this to one’s own child is wrong. Some may argue that the fetus technically has no

developed nerves to feel this pain, but it is no excuse for this murder. A life is deliberately being

taken away and although a fetus has not matured into a full infant, it is still life. “Moreover from

that moment of conception, the child continues to develop and to grow... From that the ovum is

fertilized a life has begun, which neither that of the father nor the mother; it is rather a live of a

new human being ...
