Abortion should be legal

Any sane person knows that murder is wrong, and they will recognize that abortion is also wrong. I will demonstrate that life is an 'independent reality' it does not need us to agree on how to describe it in our minds in order for it to exist. We have never created it, but we certainly can destroy it. It is essential that we help society to close the emotional distance between a mother and a father with their son or daughter, in order to see clearly the value of that child's life. Many people today have adopted the concepts that are common in our society today. Many of us were taught to accept the definition that we were taught in school of what life is. The truth is that there is not a precise definition of what separates the living from the non-living. What we believe is only an approximation, because every new observation brings us closer to reality. Let's say someone's brain and body is functioning on a base level and there is definitely metabolic activity in all of the cells that make up the larger organism, are they to be considered to be non living? Do we have the right to erase the force that actuates the body. Even if we have a body that has all the same parts of a living body none of us can give to that body life, not even with the help of so called scientific technology. With that thought, who are we to play god and take that life away? In the opposing argument abortion is made to sound humane. In response, I want to describe the mentality of someone getting an abortion, she may be good person who has become disconnected with her humanity. When we talk about murder we are like virgins talking about sex, study's have shown that on the battlefield soldiers have not been able to kill other people face to face. So the question became how do you train a soldier to kill? A human being can be desensitize to killing by increasing the 'Emotional and Physical distance' from them and their foe. Emotional distance includes; Cultural distance: viewing the enemy as an inferior life form. Social Distance: a form of classifying others as lesser beings. Mechanical distance: viewing the enemy through some sort of device. These same qualities can be turned around into an emotional and physical closeness, then parents will gain a new found bond with their offspring. When we decide whether abortion is wrong and should be illegal I want everyone to picture in their own mind a tall young girl of 9 or 10 years of age, with pretty long brunette hair, with light brown skin, her name is Sarah, listen to the sound of her heart beat feel her breathe on your skin look deep into her light blue eyes. You hear her breath getting faster and you feel the sweat in her hands and sense the fear in her eyes as she realizes you hold her life in your hands. What will you do? This is a vivid illustration of what the unborn child will look like. Science has shown that the DNA is encoded with these details at the time of conception. Such as eye color, height, hair color, skin color, and sex. This illustrations just puts back into an emotional connection that this could be your daughter. Before you make a decision to end this life, hopefully you will come back to the reality that this is your little girl, that she is a living human being. Life begins at conception there is no other time that it can happen. This living being is HUMAN, to illustrate my point ask yourselves: Would you put a human fetus in the womb of a dog? Ofcourse not! Whether this unborn child does not have legs or whether he or she has any arms, or is physically ill or handicapped does not make him or her less of a HUMAN. The very nature of this unborn baby is HUMAN. The lack of natural affection does not make abortion okay on any circumstance legal or illegal. The very essence of life does not change by what we name it, for lack of a better word in this argument I use the connotation of the word life: that which begins at fertilization. We need to restore the natural love for our sons and daughters. By changing the language and information given to our community, we can change the concepts that have distanced us from our humanity. We can start by making abortion illegal.
