Argumentative: A Brief Note On Abortion

Abortion Why kill an innocent child and not giving them a chance to live, when you could put them up for adoption? Honestly, I don’t see why anyone would ever even consider killing a baby. There is always another way other than choosing to kill that baby. For example, Catelynn Lowell became pregnant at a very early age. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to take care of that baby the way she needed to be raised, she put her up for adoption instead of aborting her. As Pope Francis once said, “Abortion is not the lesser of the two evils. It’s a crime. It is to throw someone out in order to save another.” So far from all of the information I have seen, I can honestly say that I will never support abortion. Every 24 seconds an abortion takes

By having this choice it empowers women by giving them control over their body. Some women just aren’t ready for a child and need time so that the baby has the best possible future. It is an alternative of the pregnancy and parenting if the women does not want the child. Abortion is a safe medical procedure. 88% of women who have abortions do it in the first trimester. Medical abortions have less than 0.5% risk of complications and it does not affect a woman’s health or the ability to have children in the future when they are ready. What if the women gets pregnant from rape or incest? To make a women keep a child from this heinous crime would cause even more physiological harm to her. Most of the time the woman is too afraid to speak up because they are embarrassed and often times don’t even know that they are pregnant. Teenagers who have children are more likely to leave school and not finish their education. They would need help raising the child and it would just be a lot of work. So, to make everything easier they would say to just abort the

There are also scientific facts that back up why I believe the way that I do. Doctors say that the baby in the womb is just a undifferentiated clump of cells until it is born. (https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/im-pro-life-because-of-facts-not-faith). If the woman does not want to have a baby then she needs to make that decision before intercourse, not while she is pregnant. If doctors say that it is alright to kill a baby in the womb because they are not able to take care of themselves, then that is going to be a very slippery slope. A baby that is two years old still can’t take care of themselves without a guardian. An elderly person with dementia is not able to take care of themselves, but is it alright to just kill them because they are not physically capable? It takes about 22 days for a babies heart to begin beating after he/she has been conceived, however because of my belief life begins at conception. By the same token we all believe that a tree is living, but it has no heartbeat but it still carries on functions that promotes the life of the tree. In much the same way, when the sperm meets the egg the cells begin to divide and carry on functions that promote life. Even the earliest human embryo meets the qualifications for biological life: metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli, and reproduction (http://futurefemaleleader.com). There are many risks
