Why Abortion should be Illegal

Abortion is an issue in today’s society, people that agree or disagree about taking an innocent life away. Even though women now have the legal right to decide what to do with their bodies and to decide whether to end a baby’s life, there are options other than abortions. Each and every life is valuable, and babies should be able to experience a future ahead of them. Abortions should be illegal. Making abortion illegal could allow children to live a good life and to live with someone who would care and love them for the rest of their lives.

Adoption is an option for mothers, even though they would have to go through the pregnancy; the unwanted child is given to someone who will love them unconditionally. Some mothers decide to put their kids up for adoption because of school, jobs or are not financially stable, and many more reasons. Adoption allows children to be able to fulfill their dreams when they grow up. Abortion should be illegal because it is considered murder. Unborn babies are considered human beings by the United States government.

The Unborn Victims of Violence Act states an embryo or fetus in the united states is considered a legal victim which means if you go through abortion it is considered murder. Those that do go through abortion should be punished for killing or maybe attempting to kill an unborn baby. Another reason why I’m against abortion is because of my religion, the sixth commandment of the bible’s old testaments says, “ Thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13), which is saying not destroy/kill an innocent unborn child’s life. Counterclaim There are also those who argue that abortion should be legal. They believe that abortion is right and that embryos or fetuses are not considered human beings. According to Fetal Rights, it states that fetuses are human beings and that they have the right to live but also the right of the fetus to be healthy and receive medical treatment. ( not, how to make a citation out of this).

The Unborn Victims of Violence have been passed by at least 38 states which means that fetuses or embryos are human beings and have the right to live. Abortion should be illegal because it is wrong and every child should experience life and happiness. Unborn babies have the right to live and the mother should not have the option to abort a child that has yet to be born. If the abortion continues then many families who can’t conceive will not have the opportunity to be able to adopt a child who they will love forever and the number of children in the world will decrease in numbers.
