Abortion

Actually your first mistake occurs in the opening statement of this argument as I, and I quote, said "Abortion is the killing of an innocent human being." Because abortion only applies to fetus', it is clear through the transitive thought process the fetus and human being are one in the same. Life is tough, but that doesn't mean the solution to dealing with our issues is mercy killing. Killing of an innocent is an unjust action and can never be justified. The ends never justify the means, you can always choose to do good. And yes some women do respond to pregnancy by becoming depressed, However, if this is your argumwnt for abortion, then why are you ignoring these statistics: In studies taken from coroners offices by two separate studies in Finland showed that women who received abortions were 6 to 7 times more likely to commit suicide. (They gathered this information by cause of death statements on the official coroners report). Another study in Great Britain revealed similar statistics showing that women were 8.1% more likely to die of suicide if they had received an abortion, as opposed to a rate of 1.9% in women who had chosen to carry the child. Doesn't it appear abortion is linked to suicide rates? Heres another one. Teen girls were shown to be ten times more likely to attempt suicide after abortion than if they had carried the child to term. So yeah, abortion, if anything, statistically makes depression and suicide more apparent. And yes a fetus is a human being and here is why: The fetus has unique human DNA unlike that which has ever existed making it a solely new individual on whose genetic code from conception rests all of life. The fetus also is living, thus now making the fetus a living human being who just doesnt look like you or I. Nothing is conceived in its full potential, rather, everything is conceived with its full potential (aka genetic coding) The fetal stage is the youngest stage of the life of a human being, who will grow into a chid, teenager, then adult. Yeah that alone wouldn't give her credit so I will quote what will: "Alveda Celeste King (born January 22, 1951)[5] is Director of African American Outreach with Priests for Life,[6] an NAACP member, American, civil rights activist, Christian minister, conservative, pro-life activist, and author. She is a niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and daughter of civil rights activist Rev. A. D. King and his wife Naomi Barber King. She is a Fox News Channel contributor. She once served as a Senior Fellow at the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, a conservative Washington, D.C. think-tank. She is a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives and the founder of Alveda King Ministries." Once again, your claim of depression is hardly a claim at all. As of right now, you have not provided statistical analysis of the numbers involving depression, unlike what I have done. Yes it would be immoral to be careless for the child and I agree with you on that. However, once again, an immoral action does not justify "fixing" a bad situation. No matter how hard anyone tries, it is never ok to take an innocent life. Maybe the kid wont be happy, but that is not a death sentence. Poverty is not a death sentence. No matter how unhappy someone is, that does not justify the taking of someone else's life or even your own. It is better for the child to have been born and lived a life than to have died without ever getting a chance at something more. Never having a chance at a single opportunity in life. Not even one. That is the injustice I see. < https://www.lifesitenews.com... >. < https://en.wikipedia.org... >.
