What is abortion? Although some people view the option of
abortion as a necessity, you have to look at it for what it is and accept the
cold, hard truth. Abortion is killing an unborn child. Some people use the
excuse that it is just a fetus; not even fully human yet. That is not the case.
Even at the very moment that the child is first conceived, it is still fully
alive, fully human; it’s just not fully developed.
There
are also young women who have aborted their child just months before the due
date. Surely those mothers had to understand what they were doing; killing
their unborn baby. Or maybe that’s just it; maybe those mothers don’t
understand the magnitude of what they’re really doing. I’m sure there have been
many cases where the aftermath of an abortion has practically ruined the
mother. She realizes what she has done and wishes she could take it back;
surely she wouldn’t do it if she understood what she was doing
The thought of abortion breaks my heart. When you truly think about it, why would there ever be a reason to abort a child? There simply isn’t. Whether the pregnancy was due to rape, the result of a naive high school student’s bad decision, or any other reason, there is no acceptable reason to abort a child. The mother is pregnant, and now has the responsibility and duty to bring that baby into this world; no matter if the pregnancy was her own fault or not. Yes, pain comes with giving birth, but it’s something that women go through and come out of all the time. No matter what the situation, the child should be brought into the world. If the mother doesn’t want the child, put it up for adoption. That child will give someone complete joy, even if it’s not the biological parents; and could even be a blessing and answer to prayer to the husband and wife who are unable to have a child of their own. There is a way that the devastation of an unwanted pregnancy can be turned into a blessing in disguise. Think about it.

ReplyDeleteOn November 2, one of my classmates wrote a blog post called “Choose Life” This post talked about currently one of the big issues in America “Abortion.” In my opinion, this post was very interesting because now in days most of the people talk about abortion being a good thing for a woman that basically can’t afford having a baby and they’re okay with it. People think that abortion is just a game and a solution to the problem. It is not supposed to be like that, the post “Choose Life” said something very true that many people don’t want to believe “Abortion is killing an unborn child. Some people use the excuse that it is just a fetus; not even fully human yet. That is not the case. Even at the very moment that the child is first conceived, it is still fully alive, fully human; it’s just not fully developed”
ReplyDeleteA very important point in the post that it wasn't mention was that abortion is not only killing a human, but damaging your health. Abortion is not only going to the clinic, abort and be happy. There are a lot of health problems after you abort.
As I was reading other blog post from a different classmate about abortion as well, I was just shocked. She said that she doesn’t understand why abortion is such a big deal in politics, if you abort is your own body and your own business. “Choose Life” said “The mother is pregnant, and now has the responsibility and duty to bring that baby into this world; no matter if the pregnancy was her own fault or not” and I totally agree with that because you can’t only be playing around, get pregnant and then abort, it doesn’t work like that.
Now, it would be different if you passed through hard circumstances and because of that you got pregnant, you want your baby to have the best and to be with someone that could take good care of him but you have low economic opportunities that’s why you’re giving him for adoption, then that’s understandable and a better way than just to abort to get rid of him.
In the 'Choose Life', article by my classmate Anna, she argues about abortion. She states that abortion is "killing an unborn child" and says that even though "its not fully developed, it's still a child." She believes that at the day of conception, it is a human, it's living, it's just not developed completely. I see where she is coming from, and why she thinks this. It's a common argument in this debate. But if the fetus is a human, would sperm be human as well? If the sperm was human, why would it need to get to the egg to actually start forming a fetus, leading to the creation of a human after 6 months? I just don't believe the fetus is living until the mother actually gives birth and it takes it's first breath and you hear it's first cry.
ReplyDeleteI don't see anything morally wrong with a woman taking control and choosing what to do with her body. In the end, it is her body that has to carry the baby, so it should be up to her whether the circumstances are right for her to carry a baby full term. It's up to the mother. It's up to the body that carries the fetus, not the government and not anyone else, because in the end it does not affect society, the economy, or anyone else. Just the carrier.
Of course it would need it's limits because I don't think it would be right for someone to be dumb enough to get pregnant every time she decides to be active and get abortions afterward. That would just set the wrong example for other girls, and they might start doing it to. But if you don't feel like you are not financially ready to have another human be dependent of you, there is no need for it to happen now. There's plenty of time in life to have a baby. The right time.
Reading your blog post, I feel that there is a right and a wrong in the statements you make. I understand that it's your opinion and it's for school, but I'll offer my commentary on this. I my self am a man and I am pro choice. My reasoning is because no one really knows when to consider a pregnant women's "fetus" and actual live human being. I understand that weeks or a few months before the child should be born is too close to call. What I'm saying is, is that I believe that when the "fetus" or baby is ready and able to enter the world, then that is a living human being. I do feel that 2 months after conception or even more is okay. I understand there is emotional and physical effects that happen to women. No one wants to have an abortion. Which leads to another topic about birth control and sexual education. We lack proper Sexual education and because of this many teens and adults are suffering in America. Other westernized nations don't have as big an issue as the U.S. does. Also under circumstances of rape etc. It's the woman's body. I'd rather have a child come into the world ready with a family that is able to support it. Not coming to a teenager that is just a child her self. It creates more poverty and more families on welfare. Instead of limiting something that doesn't happen as often as the media makes it out to be. A woman should have that right, if there is an issue than there is science that will prove whether to consider the fetus completely human or not. This is a males perspective on abortion.I believe the woman should have a right to chose, and it's not that it's intentional. There is protection ready and available and thanks to Obamacare women now may have birth control on their insurance. It's about teaching and informing people about sex and what can and cannot happen. I feel that sex is such a huge taboo. There is a proper and safe way to have sex and by educating people there will a reduction in abortions and unsafe sex.
ReplyDeleteIn Anna Bright’s blog choose life she brings up several arguable points, most of which I agree with. The only thing that I would have liked to of seen would have been some facts, some statistics anything with some research behind it. I do strongly agree with her point that a child is alive at conception, “it is fully alive, fully human; it’s just not fully developed.” Individuals that would like to argue this fact would like to believe that the fetus is a human a certain time during its gestation, which that idea in and of itself is ludicrous. If you want to say a fetus is not human because it is not fully developed, would you say a child is not human because of Down’s syndrome or any other defect that does not allow them to fully develop? No, of course not because that would be inhuman, and to a simple man like me you have your answer as to if abortion is right or wrong. Anna does a very good job of making that answer clear.
