Argumentative Essay: Roe V. Wade

Citizens all over the globe argue if abortion should be considered legal, even though all states in America already allow it, hence the Roe V. Wade case. Others think it should be withheld and be considered illegal. Although the case was held a long time ago, people still bring it up today. Arguably, I believe that abortion should be illegal in most, if not all, states of the world.
Each and everyday children are murdered before they even get to feel what life is. So far 50 million, and counting, innocent lives has been taken away. That’s more than 100 happening every single day. It’s not the baby's fault at all. The mother should have been more responsible and serious about her decisions to have unprotected sex. If she understood the hardships

of raising a baby and going through labor, then she wouldn’t have to go through all this. When a woman is pregnant, some say that she is carrying a gift from God. The mother was awarded that child, and if all she wants to do is get rid of it, then I do not entirely understand what is going through her mind. Of course, there is stories that we don’t know, but as I said before, she should have been more careful with her actions. Truly, women should at least finish giving birth to the baby, then allowing it to be put up for adoption for a family that would be able to put the baby in good hands.
Mother’s that abort their children will more than likely be put under a burden of guilt for the rest of their lives that will more than likely lean towards depression. They will want to forget the stories of ever having an abortion, and will get shy in conversations when others ask, “Weren’t you pregnant?” or “Were you the one that had an abortion?” And so on. Depression can lead to many things such as social anxiety, suicide, and mental problems. Abortion doesn’t just cause depression, but sometimes in rare cases it causes death for both the child and mother. Would it be worth it to risk it all? Although death is only the rarest outcome, abortion also leads to other serious health problems that could be life-long and threatening. Truly, the mother should just continue on with the birth of the child. It would be safer than risking her own life, too.
People all over the world argue that the government shouldn’t be allowed to have control over a women’s health decisions.

Although that is true, the government is just trying to save a life of a human being by stopping abortion. Many abortion cases involve young adults and minors, who don’t have as much life experience to make a smart decision. Murdering a child before it’s born is equal to eliminating the legal rights of the child, and the Fourteenth Amendment states somewhere in it, “No state shall enforce a law that will deprive any person of life, liberty, or property.” And that is exactly what abortion is doing! By allowing the law to become legal, it’s giving mother’s the right to take the life away from her child. Another reason why abortion is wrong, is because the government already protects it! In the law of death penalty explains, “Federal law prohibits the death penalty for pregnant women until they give birth.” Which in some ways is protecting the life of the babies. If a women is proven guilty while pregnant, they wait until she has fully given birth until they decide her death. That’s basically what the law was protecting; the life of the children. All until abortion stepped in and went against the law of death penalty. I believe in the rights of the children, if the mother was lucky enough to not get aborted, then why should her child be faced with such

consequences?
At the end of the day, everything is alright for you. You eat dinner, you watch TV, you do whatever you do. Although through those seconds of your life, a child in the town you live in, or even across the world, was killed that night before the start of their life. It may not affect you in any way, but imagine the grandma and grandpa’s who were more than excited for a new grandchild. Imagine the brother’s and sister’s who couldn’t wait to get a sibling. Imagine… Just imagine all those dreams that were crushed that night as their friend, daughter, who ever it was, laid in a hospital, ending the life of the fetus that would have followed the path God had planned for them. Allow the peace and justice for these children! End abortion, stop its massacre.
