The Moral Argument Against Abortion

Why Abortion is Wrong
Do you believe in a higher being? Well, I do and I believe that God made everyone in this world to live, and he made us all for a reason. You never know what that child could do, because you never even gave them a chance to live. Also, not only would it hurt the child, it would hurt you. Think about all the depression you could go through later on just thinking about the poor choice you made earlier in your life. Abortion is wrong because everyone is human and deserves a chance to live, everyone’s lives matter, and God made us for a reason.
My first reason that abortion is wrong is that everyone is human and we all should get the chance to live. That baby has as many rights as you do. They have every right in the whole world to live, and you are taking that away from them. Ronald Bailey states, “There is universal agreement that pain is detected by the fetus in the

first trimester” ("Abortion ProCon.org”). With this being said, while you’re getting the abortion, the fetus is feeling all of the pain of taking it’s life away. The fetus has feelings even at this early in it’s life. When you get that abortion, you are taking away any feelings that that baby would have had to you or other people.
The second reason I will be listing is that their lives matter just as much as ours. Why do you think that it is right to get an abortion when they have the exact same right to live as us? They can’t make the decision to live and you are making the wrong decision by taking their lives before even getting the chance to meet and fall in love with them. Mark Mittelberg says, “To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being and is no longer a matter of taste or opinion”("Abortion ProCon.org."). They are already brought into this world, so why take them out? Even if you didn’t make the choice or want to have a baby, they are already uniquely made by God.
My third and final reason is that God made them for a reason. He has hand crafted each and everyone of us to be unique in our own ways. That baby that you are planning to abort has been thought so hard about, and hand crafted to be the person that it will become. You never know, that kid could grow up and be the one to find a cure for cancer or even be the next scientist, but you would never know because you took away their life. In the Bible, Moses states, “Thou shall not kill”(“Bible Gateway”). This is the 6th commandment. This means that abortion is murder. Not only is it a murder, you’re destroying God’s humans that he sanctified himself.
One of the most common objections is female equality and that it is the mother’s decision. If everyone is fighting for the woman’s decision, how come no one is fighting for the child’s decision? Everyone is so focused on women rights and we forget about the children. They can’t flat out say their rights, but they have them, and you can’t take away their rights before they even get the chance to grow up and speak their rights. “A woman who lacks the means to manage her fertility lacks the means to manage her life,” said Valerie Tarico(Tarico, Valerie). In her words before this quote, she states that any woman that didn’t plan to have a baby can’t become a successful business woman, or won't get their efficiently. And that is not correct. Even if you didn’t plan to have that baby, you are responsible to be their mother and take care of them no matter what. You can still get a high school, or even college, degree with a kid. It’s called dedication, which many mom’s in the world that didn’t plan to have that kid, don’t have. There are so many excuses about not having time for the kids or school work, but in all reality if you put effort in things, there is always time.
The second objection is that mother’s want to take their motherhood seriously, and they believe that they can’t do that without wanting to have that child.

You can take anything seriously if you put your mind to it. Valerie quotes, “This is the biggest, most life-changing transforming thing most of us will do”(Tarico, Valerie). Yes, this may be the biggest life-changing thing, but this could also be the best thing to happen in your life. If in the end you can’t handle the baby, there is always an option for adoption. Adoption is the way better route than taking someone’s life away.
Abortion is wrong because everyone is human, everyone’s lives matter, and God made us for a reason. If you believe in a higher being, you know that God made so unique and that he loves each and everyone of us. Also, before you think abortion is right, think about how much pain they go through, and how much pain you will go through, not physically, but mentally. Every child that comes into this world is truly a blessing, and I hope that one day everyone will understand

that.
