Abortion
Draft 1- Morgan Smith
18 days
after conception, the baby’s heart starts to beat. Does it even go through
people’s minds that abortion is murder, everyone has the right to life, and
that it will leave some sort of regret in the mother’s life and heart? Abortion
is wrong and should be illegalized immediately.
According to
prolifeacrossamerica.org, “A new person is created, who at this stage is a tiny
living organism weighing only 15 ten millionths of a gram. Life begins” A child
is a child. The definition of pregnant is “of a woman or female animal having a
child or young developing in the uterus.”
When a woman finds out that she is pregnant
it means there is no question that there is a baby inside of her. Some
people disagree, saying that this so called blob of tissue developing inside of
you is not a baby. Take a look at this photo… Does this look like a baby to
you? Does this look like a blob of tissue? An abortion doesn’t make you un-pregnant;
it just leaves you with a dead baby.
Critics say that technically the child doesn’t
have the right to life because it is just a blob of tissue. I challenge this.
The constitution strictly says that everyone has basic human rights. This goes
for everyone, young and old. Look at it this way, a 90 year old woman is no
different than a 3 year old girl. Of course the woman is more mature than the
girl but does that give us the right to kill the girl because she doesn’t know
how to survive on her own? If a child doesn’t have the same morals as an adult
are they less human than us? When a
woman says it’s her own body so she should decide what she should do, she
actually has an extra heartbeat. The baby’s value is not determined by its size.
On
liveactionsnews.org says that “one study shows that 64% of women who abort feel
they are being coerced by another person.” I will argue this saying that it’s
impossible for you to be coerced to kill your child. Why should you care about
someone’s opinion when it comes down to life and death? That 64% should
be 0%. People shouldn’t feel pressured to kill their baby. It’s between the
mother and the baby. This is a real child. This is real life. You cannot take a
child’s life just to make your life normal again. Accidents happen but some
accidents will change your life forever. Don’t be selfish and most defiantly do
not make that mistake. You have a living organism inside of you. If you are pronounced dead when your heart
stops beating, why aren’t you pronounced alive when your heart starts beating?
What
kind of choice does abortion give you? A dead baby? There are plenty of rallies
that could be put into place, but first we need the help. We need people to stand
by and hear the unheard. We need stop killing our future. It’s not our choice
to keep or to take a life. “Even the smallest person can change the course of
the future.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien
