Abortion: The Deliberate Termination of a Human Pregnancy

What is Abortion? Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. Or a more political way of describing abortion is, the intentional termination of a pregnancy after conception. Giving women the right to conscientiously put an end to their pregnancies, in essence, is allowing them to kill the undeveloped embryo (fetus), which makes it a very controversial subject in American politics.

I disagree with abortion. I think that no matter when you terminate, it is still killing a possible life; a life that is not theirs to give. Pro-life advocates, as well as many scientists, feel life starts at conception. If this is the case, abortion is akin to murder, which is the act of taking a human life.

And those who intentionally harm or take the life of another human, should bear some responsibility or punishment. When a woman is responsible enough to “make” the child, she should be required to live with the ensuing consequences and give birth to that child, otherwise, face punishments equal to those who kill another as a drunken driver in a car accident. Their bad decisions resulted in loss of a human life, and they need to be made accountable. On the flip side, abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime instead of the perpetrator who should be punished for their crime.

I strongly suggest we find a way to stop abortion. It is the killing of a human being waiting on his/her chance to live their life. What gives us the right to take that away from them? What a horrible mother that is. Just as child protection services would do for a born baby, we should do for a baby not yet given the chance to live.
