Since life begins at
conception, abortion is akin to murder as it is the act of taking
human life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the commonly
accepted idea of the sanctity of human life No civilized society
permits one human to intentionally harm or take the life of
another human without punishment, and abortion is no
different.
Adoption is a viable alternative to abortion and accomplishes the
same result. And with 1.5 million American families wanting to
adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child.
An abortion can result in medical complications later in life;
the risk of ectopic pregnancies doubles, and the chance of a
miscarriage and pelvic inflammatory disease also increases.
In the instance of and incest, proper medical care can ensure
that a woman will not get pregnant. Abortion punishes the unborn
child who committed no crime; instead, it is the perpetrator who
should be punished.
Abortion should not be used as another form of contraception.
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.
Many Americans who pay taxes are opposed to abortion, therefore
it's morally wrong to use tax dollars to fund abortion.
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. Abortion frequently causes
intense psychological pain and stress.
This is my personal opinion. Please, do not let mine
influence yours. However, do know both sides of the argument
before deciding yours.
