Abortion goes against all moral beliefs and is all over a bad idea.

"The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, then what is in the way of me killing you or you killing me? There is nothing in between." "Mother Teresa Because I agree with Mother Teresa that I say abortion is not a viable, moral, nor should it be a legal decision. I support the resolution for three main contentions. One: The Declaration of Independence Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Two: There are other choices than abortion. Three: Many religions do not support abortions. For this debate I provide the following definitions from the Merriam Webster Dictionary: Pregnant- containing a developing embryo, fetus, or unborn offspring within the body Abortion- the termination of a pregnancy resulting in or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus Life- a way or manner of living that starts at conception I move straight into my first contention stating that the American Declaration of Independence does not support abortion. This first line in the Preamble is as follows: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. This contradicts with abortion because of the word Life. The people who kill unborn children are denying them life. Therefore denying them to America. By the way of the Declaration of Independence we should not allow abortion in the Country. In my second contention I will talk about the different options available for women considering abortion. The first, and probably the most obvious, is adoption. There are many people in the world willing to take a child into there homes. Family and friends can take care of young ones just as easily as the mother, maybe even better. This is perfect for the idea that you cannot support the child, or are not willing to put in the time and effort. Another idea is a mother support group. 50% of about 1.2 million, or 600,000 women who have abortions are teenagers from the age of 13-17. There is over 100 support groups in the United States that will help a mother pay for the child. All it takes is there everyday attention. The biggest problem with raising a child is financial issues. The mother believes she cannot support the child and wants to rid her self of it. This is not true because she can only no support it on her own. Instead of getting an abortion the woman may reach out to family, friends, and even the father. This allows the baby to live and the financials to be sound. We now move to my third and final contention. Religion in many cases does not support abortion. I have many examples; Christianity, Islamic, and Hinduism for example. My first example is Christianity, which has had a long and complicated relationship with abortion. Most people of the Christian Religion believe that abortion is just as bad as killing someone. They say that killing a person in real life may be just as bad as abortion. When it come to Islamic they believe that if the body has been carrying a baby for at least 120 days and an abortion is performed, it is a sin. Then they believe that before that an abortion should only be preformed if a mother"s life is in danger. The Hindu look on the matter is close to the Christian one. Hindu texts strongly condemn abortion. Although it is practiced in India where the Social preference for boys over rule the religious rule. Therefore killing innocent baby girls. There are many views on abortion but only one view is morally right. Abortion should no longer be allowed because of my contentions. 1.It goes against the base of the U.S. Government. 2.There are other options. 3.Religions do not support it.
