Abortion is wrong

THE SAD FACTS: 1 out of every 67 deaths in the WORLD is an American abortion. 1 out every 4 deaths in America is an American abortion. Half of the deaths in the world are from abortions. Abortion is the leading cause of death in the world. It kills as many people as ALL of the other causes of death combined. We have lost more Americans through abortions than we did in all our wars (12 wars) combined. 64 Times More! The world kills more people through abortion than all of the deaths combined. 22 times as many! The D-Day Invasion of France (WWII) was the bloodiest in history. There were 53,714 allied soldiers killed in the "Battle of Normandy." Yet, our world kills more people than that in just 9 hours of abortions. That's right, just 9 hours! America has lost 589 soldiers in its first year of fighting the Iraqi war. The world, however, kills more people than that in just 6 minutes through abortion. That's right, just 6 minutes! These facts show that abortion certainly is murder. In fact, over half of the American population consider abortion as murder. (check out the video website on bottom of argument) Murder is a capital offense - it is worthy of receiving the sentence of capital punishment. Obviously, the government and majority of people view murder as wrong, and because abortion is murder, then abortion is wrong as well. Many times, abortion is viewed as the mother's "freedom of choice." But what about the unborn baby's freedom of choice? In the cases excluding rape and incest (which only amount to .5% of reasons for abortion), the mother chose to have sexual intercourse and chose to take the risk of possibly bearing a child in the womb. The mother consequently has responsibility of the unborn child, for she must be held responsible for her actions. The unborn child has the innate right to live. The fetus cannot directly state that it wants to be kept alive, but every unborn child has the potential of life and the rights that are entitled to living beings. These rights cannot logically be crossed, and because abortion violates these rights and opportunities, it supports the resolution that abortion is wrong. In effect, it is highly condemned by a lot of religions as well. Abortion is taking away future progress and people who can possibly end up doing miraculous things. Out of the millions of unborn children killed due to abortion, they include future presidents, military leaders, political figureheads, award-winning scientists who can find cures for cancers and other diseases, etc. Abortion affects the development of unborn children and takes away fetuses that have the ability to do great things to benefit mankind in the future. Abortion is the process in which the developing child is removed from a mother's womb. Keeping all situations and instances in mind, abortion was and still stays, an act of violence against the unborn child as well as the woman about to have a baby, apart from being a moral crime in itself. Life and death are closely related, and so are the arguments to it. What right do humans have to curtail the life of something that providence has created? Abortion was considered as a sin in many religions till some years ago. Children are a gift of god, and the parents are just the people who take care of them, God's gift. Another moral argument is yet again a phrase instilled into humankind since time incarnate - If providence has given, it shall arrange for it too. Simply put, this means that a child has been brought on earth, he or she should be given a full chance to live a life, as God must have planned something for them. While the above arguments may not find favor amongst the modern generation or even the atheists, who consider life forming as a simple scientific process, here are some various psychological, medical and human-emotions related facts against abortion. While it cannot be said whether an abortion is an unforgivable event, it is of course an unforgettable event. An abortion plays havoc with the psychology and the future life of the entire family. The woman who has lost her child, at any time between the pregnancy, will never be the same. While the woman may be the hardest hit by an abortion, one also has to think about the mental and emotional state of the entire family. While physically only the woman undergoes an abortion, mentally and emotionally it is the entire family who loses a part of their mind and body forever. Anesthesia is available only for the physical structure of the human body, not for the emotional and mental state of a person. Abortion also emanates into various medical complications in the woman which can be considered as the cons of abortion. Some of the general complications arising in women due to abortions are: 1.Blocked fallopian tubes 2.Weakened cervix 3.uterine scarring 4.damage to the woman's reproductive system which may make her unable to conceive in the future Apart from these common problems, women may also: 1.face the increase in the probability of an increase in tubule babies 2.hysterectomies 3.miscarriages 4.stillbirths 5.premature births Abortion is also related to the increase of chances of breast, uterine and cervical cancer in women. Apart from the other facts about abortion, it is a fact that almost ninety percent of the abortions taking place in the United States of America are illegal. These illegal abortionists work on almost an assembly line basis, and not every product they deliver is top-of-the-rack. Illegal abortions greatly increases the health risk to the mother, apart from the above described situations. Illegal abortions may not be hundred percent hygienic and may create a leeway for hundreds of types of infections and other medical malpractice situations for the mother. Overall, there are a lot of arguments against abortion, that proves it is not only a moral sin, but can also create great problems to the woman and the family. The cons of abortion are great and uncountable and women and families should think twice, thrice, forever before affirming to an abortion. For a speedy conclusion, I am obviously supporting the resolution that abortion is wrong. Abortion takes away the innocent lives of unborn babies, causes a heavy loss of potential lives in the world, infringes on the innate rights of unborn children (like the right to live), and causes great depression and havoc within the mother and the mother's family. Also, abortion greatly hurts the mother by increasing the existence of certain health problems and organ malfunctions. Abortion is murder, and murder is wrong (based on public opinion and the government's stand) so hence abortion is wrong. (supports the resolution) I await the counterarguments.
