Abortion
Those strongly opposed to abortion call themselves pro-life, suggesting that anyone in
favor of abortion rights is anti-life. If we cannot agree if the fetus is a perfect person or not,
then what should guide our opinions about abortion? It is degrading for women to marginalize,
and dispose of, their children as they see fit. Life begins at conception; it cannot be destroyed in
the pursuit of other values. Thousands of babies could be saved if abortion doctors did not exist.
For the Christian, abortion is not a matter of a womans right to choose. It is a matter of the life
or death of a human being made in Gods image . Abortion should be illegal in the United States,
because women should not take the chance of a new living being from being born (especially if
they are under the age of 18), it violates Christian views and not to mention its immoral. In
addition, doctors who conduct these procedures should be held equally accountable.
Abortion should be illegal in the United States, women should not have the choice of
taking chances of life from being born. Its the fact that abortion punishes the unborn child who
committed no crime; instead, it is the perpetrator who should be punished. Then taking innocent
lives, theyre pretty much willingly deciding to kill that child, certainly for their own benefit.
Lastly, its not empowering or liberating for women.

It violates christian views, and is immoral. Becoming pregnant as a result of rape and/or
incest, is the murder of a baby the answer? Two wrongs do not make a right. The child who is a

Jones 2
result of rape/incest could be given in adoption to a loving family unable to have children on
their own, or the child could be raised by its mother. Abortion basically encourages sin: "Because
sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is
fully set in them to do evil." The baby is completely innocent and should not be punished for the
evil acts of its father. It De-values human life: Life is so precious that God himself instituted the
Death Penalty for anyone who takes the life of another

Doctors who conduct these procedures should be held equally accountable, because
permissive abortion is purposeful destruction of what is undeniably human life. It is an
impermissible act of deadly violence. If we limit our medical practices or make the procedure a
crime, it will simply return abortion to a dangerous, shadowy existence. I continue to do
abortions after 25 years because the voices of gratitude and relief from my patients drown out the
hatred and intolerance from the protesters outside says Mary Smith, MD. I continue doing
abortions because, like my patients then, women today choose abortion whether it is legal or
illegal says Thomas Thornton, MD.

Thoughts of people FOR the right of abortion are very common, because its such an
controversial topic. A baby should not come into the world unwanted. Reproductive choice
protects women from financial disadvantage. Women who are denied abortions are more likely
to become unemployed, to be on public welfare, to be below the poverty line, and to become
victims of domestic violence. Many religious organizations and people of faith support
women's reproductive choice. Modern abortion procedures are safe and do not cause lasting
health issues such as cancer and infertility. Access to legal, professionally-performed abortions

reduces maternal injury and death caused by unsafe, illegal abortions. Cynthia Bragg, 18,
Newport News, VA. I had sex for the first time about a month before my sixteenth birthday in
September 2002. My boyfriend and I had talked about what wed do if I became pregnant. I
knew I wasnt strong enough to give up my child for adoption and never see him or her again. In
the end I chose to have an abortion(Piehl 18)

Disregarding the chance of lives of the unborn is unacceptable. Psychological effects are
only one side of abortion; the other side is the physiological effects. The right to life is the most
basic and important right that we have. No civilized society permits one human to intentionally
harm or take the life of another human without punishment, and abortion is no different.
Abortion should not be used as another form of contraception. Women should not take the
chance of a new living being from being born (especially if they are under the age of 18). There
are more dangerous forms of abortion, and could also bring shame, heartache and deep regret.
For women who demand complete control of their body, control should include preventing the
risk of unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of contraception or, if that is not
possible, through abstinence. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly accepted idea of the
sanctity of human life. Most of those who choose abortions are often minors or young women
with insufficient life experience to understand fully what they are doing. Many have lifelong
regrets afterwards.

Its violating christian views, and is immoral: It attempts to destroy a work of God: Life
always begins before birth in the eyes of God even if rape, incest, or other sinful acts conceived
the baby . The beliefs and ethics of God are not situational and do not provide the exceptions.

God has created in his own image and has had a plan for that baby ever since the beginning of
time. "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any
thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. Deuteronomy 27:25a Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike down an innocent person.

Doctors being held equally accountable. A lot of the abortion doctors seem to be Jews,
atheists, and other non-Christians. Killing Abortion Providers is justifiable Homicide. Violence
to stop brutality is also justified. Illegal abortions were not usually performed by doctors or under
sanitary conditions, and many women got infections, became infertile, or died from
complications. Practicing abortions is very lucrative doctors will continue to give them to people
who desire it. It should be on them if they give it to women. especially if they are under age.
Breaking down what was just stated: why abortion jobs are so lucrative, doctors would
specifically keep their job of providing abortions, because simple arithmetic at $300 a time, 1.55
million abortions means an industry generating $500,000,000 annually, of which most goes into
the pocket of the physician doing the abortion.

Unfortunately, for the last few decades, the practice has been recognized as a
fundamental human right by the highest court of the land. Many people are fervent supporters of
abortion. Abortion is the deliberate killing of the weakest and most defenseless among us.We
should not murder or take lives of the innocent point blank, its just wrong. At the end of the day,
I personally, would stick to my side of not choosing abortion if i ever came down to the situation
of getting pregnant too early, getting pregnant by the wrong person, etc. I just hope the world

becomes a better place and women start thinking strongly about the decision theyre about to
make when choosing to get rid of an gift.
