Abortion

Abortion. One of the most controversial topics in the 1970s is still burning with rage right now. The spark of the flame was the "Roe vs. Wade" court case in 1973. Roe was a single woman who was pregnant with a baby. Living in Texas, she could not abort the baby because all abortion laws made it illegal to have the abortion in her case. Roe then challenged the law to let her have the abortion. Roe ended up winning and making abortion legal in many states. The Partial Birth Abortion ban act was the most resent event that helped keep the fire alive. The Partial Birth Abortion ban act was put into law in 2003, forbidding the abortion of babies who are half born before they are killed by brain suction. This inhumane and sick way of abortion was made illegal for that very reason. I am pro-life. I think that no baby should have their future taken away from them before they even begin to see it. Although the mother may not have enough money for the baby, abortion should be illegal because the doctors take the Hippocratic Oath and the mothers have alternatives to aborting the baby, such as adoption. Even though I completely disagree with abortions, I am still respectful of some opinions. Survey says that the second most common reason for abortion is the incapability to care for the child financially. They say that if the baby were to be born, they wouldn"t be able to provide for the baby in the right manner. This is understandable on account of babies can be expensive. You have to feed them, clothe them, bathe them, and everything in between, thus making children stressful emotionally and financially. Even if the child is expensive, the mother has the choice to put the baby up for adoption. With 9.9 million women in 1988 looking to adopt, there is never a word for an "unwanted child". All of these people are looking to give the life that the infant deserves and you are just giving your baby back to God? Orphanages can always find a home for a newborn. When you are looking for a new dog, are you going to go for the 9 year old poodle that can"t see, or are you going to choose a golden retriever puppy with a bucketful of energy? I don"t know about you, but I would choose the puppy! Adoption is a cheap and simple alternative to abortions and you keep a heart beating. Dup-lup, duup-luup, duuup-luuup,duuuup" That"s the sound of a small heart going out. This particular one was aborted by its mother. Well, more correctly, the doctor. That same doctor that was in collage for 7 years to get his masters degree, who helped the countless patients that entrusted him with their lives, that same doctor that took the Hippocratic Oath to never hurt or kill a human being, is not injecting your side with poison to destroy a human life. The Oath states, and I quote, "I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice". Doesn"t that say "I will never hurt somebody"? When that poison hits the womb, it kills the baby in a terrible way. The poison enters the baby"s bloodstream and creeps down to every inch of its body killing all life in the body. Is that what we have turned into; Heartless criminals that kill innocent children for the benefit of ourselves? This is not the way life should be. Doctors should be here to help us, not hurt our children. Abortion should not be legal. It is a heartless and inhumane practice that gives up lives of our next president, doctor, or philosopher. One of my favorite quotes is from Ronald Regan where he says "I"ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born". You weren"t aborted, why should anyone else be? It"s really sad. We have a harder time giving our children to a baby-sitter for a few hours, than giving our babies up forever. We need to stop the madness. End abortion now.
