Abortion is wrong

"You have failed to define what quality human life has that implies it should be respected." -Do I need to tell give you reasons why life, specifically a human life needs to be respected? I need to tell you why I should respect you as a person and someone with life? Humans give even the dead respect, no one would dare urinate on the corpse of a fallen soldier because we all have an intrinsic worth. If you don't feel the same, I would love to hear your reasons why it would be wrong to shoot you and take your life right now. "You have failed to indicate why we should conclude that an embryo is deserving of the protections and respect afforded a person." - I didn't know I would need to explain such basic principles to anyone. A human embryo will have every single quality an adult does, and like I said, is biologically proven to be human. It has all 46 chromosomes and has the exact DNA of a human being. Therefore, anything compromising the life of that embryo should be considered illegal. Now I don't see why I need to be explaining why we shouldn't be terminating embryos, you need to be justifying it. "You have failed even to define what it is to be wrong." - Do you propose that we don't know what right and wrong is? That killing someone out of convenience is morally permissable? Do I need to explain this? I certainly hope not. The mere fact you question it makes me question one's sanity. But for the sake of argument, something that is "wrong", goes against the moral code we all have. The moral code being a sort of "law" if you will, that tells us what is good and bad to do. Unlike the laws of physics, we have a choice to obey this law or not. I'd like to make the claim that we all don't obey the law perfectly, and that we all know it. Murder, the killing of an innocent human, has always been "wrong", as we call it. I am suggesting that when we puncture the skull of an unborn child, or fill the environment it lives in with a lethal chemical, or gruesomely dismember it with a scalpel and pliers, it is "wrong". Please, let's not get into a debate about what "wrong " is, I feel we both have a rather good sense of its meaning, "Something we ought not do." Now, I believe in the last paragraph I answered your other statement, "What's more, you did not qualify your claim that abortion is wrong, which I would highly recommend you do." Go ahead and read it again if you'd like. So moving along. I have no argument to debate yet, but I have some pretty good ideas of what's in store. Let's first start with the most emotional, and quite frankly, most difficult argument to speak against: The issue of rape. 1. If the mother was raped, she shouldn't have to bear anymore of the pain of that by having to bear the rapist's child. I'd like to start by suggesting I call one of my closest friends, Jennifer. You see, she was conceived in rape, but her mother decided to give her up for adoption. I haven't heard anything even close to a good reason why it would have been permissible to kill her in the womb. I certainly believe someone should be killed though in a rape situation, but it's not the child in the womb nor is it the mother who was raped. The man, who violated a woman against her will and violently and disgracefully assaulted her should be the one being dismembered or locked in a container of acid (taking hours to completely dissolve the body), or have a pair of scissors shoved in his skull when he can't do a damned thing about it. 2. The single mother already has 4 children and she can't afford another one, it would be irresponsible to bring another life into this world. If the real issue is money, then the most logical thing for her to do would be to kill the oldest child. You see, the oldest is growing the most, requires the most food, therefore requires the most money. The child inside her womb on the other hand will already have food in its mother's breasts and baby food is very cheap compared to meat and vegetables and dairy. If the real issue was financial, it would be much more responsible to kill the oldest child. Wait, this is crazy to do? It's wrong to do? Not if you think like an abortionist. Because to them, a human life can be taken on a whim, should you desire money instead of a child. 3. You're a man (Yes I am), you don't know what it's like to be pregnant. You don't know what's best for a woman so don't tell her what to do with her body. You are absolutely right. I am a man, not a woman. I don't know what it's like to be single and pregnant with no one to take care of me. And I should never tell a woman what to do with her own body. I agree with all of this, but sadly, this baby is not the woman, it's not her body. Again, the DNA is only half hers, therefore, it's not her and she should not have the right to determine the life of that child. The baby deserves life just you and I do. 4. If you don't agree with abortion, don't have an abortion. Don't take that right away from others. Oh man, what a classic. This is exactly like "If you don't like chocolate ice cream, simply choose vanilla instead!" Except this is much more serious and should go against every fiber in your body. The act of abortion is not the same as your ice cream preference. One stops the craving of the stomach, the other stops the beating of a heart. And the magnitude of abortion cannot be stressed enough. It is murder! To murder is defined as " to kill (someone) unlawfully and with premeditation." The act is premeditated, so no argument there. Now if this is killing someone, then it is truly "murder". The embryo has all the biological data to consider it human, not ape, or ant. Now were I to see someone pull a gun to a stranger's head in the street, I, obviously according to the logic of the above statement should tell myself, "Wait a minute, I know I don't agree with murder, but... He might! So who am I to tell him what to do? I can't take his right away to blow that person's brains out." And then walk away, because even though I don't personally agree with it, it's nice to let other people do what they want. Actually, I wouldn't do that at all. You see, I believe in the God given, unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and I will do everything in my power to stop the infringement of these rights. Go ahead, now. I've given you 10.000 character to debunk my arguments, let's stay on the subject of abortion though.
