Murder in the Womb

The reason I am pro-life is because God is in charge of life and death. He did not create us to do this to each other for he should have full control. In the Ten Commandments, it is a sin to kill.But still a large amount of unborn babies are killed every year worldwide. Pro-Choice advocates believe that abortion should be legalized because they feel it is essential to empower women with a choice. They have strong beliefs that women are not subordinate, so they should to be allowed to choose and should not be forced to have a child, but why should the child have to suffer for the actions of his mother? If an innocent woman is raped and later becomes pregnant, should she be forced to have the baby? Well, pro-choice believers believe she should have the right to decide for herself if she wants a abortion.

An innocent unborn baby definitely shouldn't be punished for the crime and poor decisions of his father. The mother must deliver the child to save the life of the faultless child inside of her. Adoption is always an option, and a much better option opposed to murder.

The reporters of bbc.com tell us that “many times after having an abortion, a woman will become unstable. Post-abortion syndrome is the trauma of the woman who finally feels guilty, understands the repercussions of her actions, and regrets her previous decision.”According to gales servers “Statistics show that 92% feel less in touch with their emotions or feel a need to suppress their emotions. 82% had greater feelings of loneliness or isolation and 86% had increased tendency toward anger or rage. 53% increased or began use of drugs and alcohol. 28% attempted suicide. Depression, anxiety,inability to sleep, and suicide are all common symptoms a woman will encounter after an abortion. Post-abortion counseling is available to aid any women who is suffering from the pain of death and moral responsibility.”

Many believe that abortion should be legalized for the cases of pregnancy due to rape and incest. If a child is a product of violence,why create more pain and suffering by killing the baby f trying to heal the pain of the woman. This only guarantees further emotional stress for the victimized woman in the future. The disgusting descriptions and pictures available showing the dead baby after the process can change one’s mind. The tiny, innocent looking little babies have suffered a great deal of pain in their last minutes of survival. Because a brain, heart, and nerves have been developed, a fetus is able to feel the pain of death just as any other human would. A mother whose child is killed is always saddened with her loss. It is natural for a mother to feel this way after having her child aborted before having a chance to love and nurture her child who is a part of her.

The law states, murder is illegal and the consequences for any such action would be imprisonment or, in some states, capital punishment. This is so because human have the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness according to the Constitution. First and foremost is the right to live. It shouldn't be any different in regards to unborn children. A person is created at the instant of conception. Therefore, every sense of abortion is murder. Even pro-choice activists agree with the scientific aspects of a baby’s development within the mother. They believe that despite all the organs of a person are there, it doesn't have rights until its birth. Therefore, in their opinion, the unborn baby doesn’t have any rights, not even the simple right of living.

In conclusion, I have determined that abortion is morally wrong in all circumstances. God is the ultimate creator who decides the fate of all of mankind, God is the only one with the ability to choose life or death for his people. For us to make this choice ourselves, we are taking the power away from God and disregarding the plan that he has for each and every living thing.
