Resolved: The United States Government should make abortion illegal.

Roe v. Wade: A landmark decision by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion. [1] The Supreme Court’s landmark decision paved the way to make abortion legal. The decision says that women have any right to abort a child in early weeks of pregnancy but inhibits their ability to miscarry a child in later weeks. However, the legal decision is wrong. The 1973 Supreme Court considered that they went above their borderline as the US Constitution has no warranties in the concerns of privacy and abortion, and that abortion is a subject for the legislators, not the judges themselves. In the 14th amendment, it states that "...nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property..." [2]. Therefore, we can see that at the first time that this amendment is used, abortion is illegal. There are Federal Laws that are already protecting the unborn, namely: the law of death penalty, fetal homicide laws (Federal Act 38) and Victims of Violence Act. Federal law prohibits the death penalty for pregnant women until they give birth. (18 U.S.C.A. S.3596) In essence, the law declared that an innocent unborn person cannot be sentenced and put to death for a crime he did not commit. If the unborn child were not seen as a person in the eyes of the law, there would be no need for this prohibition. Common law typically prohibited the execution of a pregnant woman until birth, though its prohibition was not even as strong as the current federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court (in Union P. R. Co. v. Botsford) explained the purpose of the common law doctrine: “to guard against the taking of the life of an unborn child for the crime of the mother.” Inconsistently, the Court calls the unborn child a “child” and yet refuses to recognize her as a person. And the UVVA prevents abortion of fetuses, as it defines them as a “… a child in utero, and the term ‘child in utero’ or ‘child, who is in utero’ means a member of the species homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb.” Abortion is basically murder. Murder is the unlawful killing of another human being without justification or excuse. [3] The science we have learned confirms that an unborn child is indeed a human being, and in the States' fetal homicidal laws (alongside with the other two mention), it is made clear that killing unborn children is abhorrent and its life worthy of protection. [4] There are many religions that refuses abortion. The Bible has it that from the moment of realization, a fetus is a human being. "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" - Jeremiah 1:5. It can't be denied that one of the commandments of God is "thou shalt not kill." Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, among others, dismisses abortion. Abortion makes life dispensable, and in fact, doctors were first prohibited to practice it for this reason. Nowadays, doctors are recommended to testify that they shouldn't play as God, and 8% of present-day oaths executed clearly prompts the doctor to reject the abortion practice. However, it is a big business in America given that 25% of pregnancies are aborted. Abortion can lead to having medical problems and mental stress. This is likely to take into effect at least 5 years after doing it, and they have an increased chance of committing suicide (154% more possible than women in normal pregnancies). The miscarriage can have an unfavorable reaction to the partner as well. Due to upsurge of the possibility of miscarriage and placenta previa, it can cause mental stress to those who have done it, too. It can also rise the danger of breast cancer. There are 14% of American women that are waiting for adopting a child, whereas only 1% have completed the process. After the 1973's Roe v. Wade, the 9% of babies born in America that were put for fosterage seriously dropped to 1%. These soon-to-be babies are not given the chance to appreciate life, freedom and quest of joy because of abortion. A 12-week old fetus have eyes, fingers, toes, heart and a nervous system. By 8 weeks the unborn child can lean their spines which is an implication that they can feel pain. They can pull back from painful stimuli. During abortion, a 12-week old fetus wanes and opens their mouths to scream. "While the majority of abortions that take place in the US and around the world are either medical (procured through drugs) or simple vacuum extractions abortions at a later stage of pregnancy are more difficult. These are properly called dilation and extraction abortions but are often referred to as Partial Birth Abortions. The procedure is truly horrendous for the fetus. It is turned in the womb and all of the body bar the head is delivered (the delivery of the head would imply a live birth). At this stage the fetus is completely alive and healthy. The surgeon then pierces the head and extracts the brain killing the baby. The body is then delivered. This is not a sanitized procedure, it is not humane and it is not always performed on a fetus who can feel no pain, many of the babies on whom this procedure is performed are capable of a viable birth. If the baby’s head were delivered and the procedure subsequently carried out it would be characterized as murder. This type of abortion is subject to bans and legal challenges. As a result many providers now stop the baby’s heart with a lethal injection prior to dismembering the fetus in utero. This does not, however, detract from the fact that the fetus is alive and capable of life just seconds before the injection takes effect." [5] Verily, since 2010, 10 states have downright bans to women attempting to do abortion for more than 20 weeks. And did everyone of you know, that the possibility of women who performed abortion of dying is 0.6 in 100,000 (that is 6,000)? And if the 977,000 reported abortions in 2014 are taken individually [6] , then it means that 58,620 women died from doing this practice. And truly, the mothers of Celine Dion, Cher, Justine Bieber, and Tim Tebow, among others, are told to undertake the procedure of abortion, but just denied it and instead gave birth to them. Having included that, it is also seen that abortion excludes the likelihood of a human being's offerings to humankind. [7] [8] [9] [10] It is shameless to to use this practice as a form of contraception because of disturbance. [11] The Guttmacher Institute addressed that 50% of women having abortions every year had at least one under their belt, and 8.5% of them where Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is informed in 2010 that women doing it have sustained three or more abortions. [12] [13] This indicates that women are using it for contraception. And one more thing, the fetus should not be punished by an adult's mistake. [14] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org...
