"Abortion" A persuasive paper against abortion. Includes internal citations and works cited.
"Why don't I just get an abortion?" Maria asked her husband. "You absolutely won't, I won't let you kill my child. We'll work this out; we'll make the payments to the hospital little by little," replied Daniel in disbelief. Maria was contemplating getting an abortion because she and Daniel had virtually no money. Daniel felt they could work through it. Abortion is the worst route to take when it comes down to a choice. Abortion is a provoked termination, or annihilation, of a pregnancy and the removal of an embryo or fetus. Not only is it a termination of an embryo but it is also harmful to the woman, one harmful aspect is that it increases the chance of breast cancer; and most of all abortion is the killing of a child, whether born or not, and therefore should be illegal.
The law should not determine what is right and what is wrong. Just because abortion is legal, doesn't mean it's right. As P. Ramsey stated, "Not everything that is legal is right...and nothing that is right is right because it is legal" (Day 55). Abortion should also not be considered right because it has been determined legal. Dean Stein, the father of four, and a pro-life advocate explained his beliefs on abortion (Day 79). He states, "My father was born and raised in Romania, and when Hitler came in in the Holocaust, there were Christians who risked their lives to smuggle him [my father] and his family out of Romania when it was legal to kill him just because he was a Jew," he goes on, "...in the same way the Jews were killed just for being Jews, now babies are killed just for being babies" (Day 79). Just because abortion is "painless" to the baby, doesn't mean it's right. In the United States, we don't allow people to kill innocent human beings, even if the death or killing is painless or not known by the victim (Day 80). Abortion should not be considered anything less than murder. Murder stops a beating heart. Abortion stops a beating heart and stops one 4000 times a day (Day 82). Religion
