SAY YES TO LIFE!

RH Bill covers the promotion of contraceptives to prevent early pregnancy and the avoidance of sudden increase of country’s population. It was passed by the congress and still in the process of voting and approval of the senate. The Catholic Church is alarmed with this matter and strongly disagrees because it disobeys the scriptures of God. It thwarts the life of a person, specifically a baby to live.
Under the RH Bill is the promotion of contraceptives and other forms of preventing a sudden pregnancy. Condoms are one of the examples of contraceptives. Abortion is a form of preventing pregnancy. It includes killing an unborn child. A disgraceful crime! Why should we have to commit this kind of crime? We must know that life is the greatest blessing that we will ever have. There are lots of alternatives and programs that can be done. Alternatives that is more humane, that killing is not being embraced. The primary reason why this bill does was submitted is because the population of our country is continuously increasing and the early conception of the youth of today’s generation. But the persons behind this bill aren’t aware that this also promotes rather allows premarital sex to teenagers because they support contraceptives. In other words, youths can do sexual intercourse as long as they wear or have contraceptives, and it is a sacrilege to the sacrosanctness of sex.
On the other hand, abortion, as we all know is a very immoral act. It is not accepted by the society for it is merciless. It can be compared to murder. However, it is an unborn murder. As the unborn child is killed prior to being born. This is against the Catholic faith. Our country is strongly against Abortion because we are a Catholic country. And being a catholic country, our belief revolves around the church’s

    First of all, abortion has a much closed relationship with religious beliefs. There are many different religions in the world such as Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism. The most common religious belief in the United States is Christianity. According to the Bible, there is a quote tell us that abortion is an unrespectable action to the God. “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonder-fully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - and how well I know it.” (Psalm…

    I am not against RH bill, and I am not pro abortion, it’s just I want to teach people lesson on giving birth among children whom they can’t support and will be like others begging on the streets and in the end be one of the government dependents. But I am not allowing manipulations or tricks just to fool us around, just to crash moral issues and other objections. I still believe in the moral values our late Pres. Cory imbued to our present president today and will do what is good for our country with due respect and transparency to all Filipino…

    Phi 103 Abortion

    Many will argue whether or not abortion it right or wrong, moral or immoral, ethical or not, but one thing that everyone can agree on is that abortion is a very complex issue with very little common ground that keeps many people divided. The topic of abortion is a subject that many different groups have vested a great deal of time and effort to have their views known in society. The two biggest groups are the pro-choice and pro-life followers, which have been struggling to prove who is right and who is wrong for many years. I believe that abortion is a complex issue and that pro-choice and pro-life both have some reasonable arguments to support their views. When approaching the topic of abortion one must be willing to look at the topic with a open mind because everyone will naturally favor one side over the other because of human nature but everyone must realize that both sides of the debate have great reasons on why they are right. "Abortion debate is not about 'facts, ' but about how to weigh, measure, and assess facts" (Luker, 1984. p. 5). One must make a decision for themselves based on the facts presented. I "as a practicing Catholic" do believe that abortion is morally and ethically wrong but as a American I do respect the laws of the government yet not everyone will agree with my views on the topic. This is why I believe that abortion is a controversial issue affecting our society, it may be legal but it is ethically and morally wrong and based on that I believe that the act of aborting a potential life should be illegal.…

    Apologetics on Abortion

    The Church is pro-life and teaches abortion is wrong and should be avoided at all costs. The fifth commandment states, “You shall not kill” (Ex. 20:13). At the moment of conception life begins. By performing an abortion one is taking the life of an innocent being, which ultimately is committing murder. Murder is the ultimate sin as it goes against what God called his children to do. Humans were created to procreate in love and through marriage. Although many pregnancies are brought up without love and marriage, it is still a human life and should be respected no matter what.…

    Abortion goes against any idea of the sanctity of human ways. It ends up taking away an innocent child’s life; someone that never got the chance to experience the beautiful ways of the world. No civilized society permits one human to intentionally harm or take the life of another human without punishment, and abortion is no different.…

    There are many different opinions on abortion in Christianity as some denominations are stricter than others. For the Roman Catholics, they believe strongly against it and believe life begins when the ovum is fertilised and gains the full status of a human being therefore in this denomination abortion is considered as murder and ‘thou shall not murder’is in the 10 commandments. Moreover, the Roman Catholics believe abortion is never right and that the family will be able to bring up the child in any environment. This is where the denominations within Christianity begin to disagree on the decision in which abortion is right.…

    The religious war on abortion cannot be easily defined. Although people are religious and may fear God, the issue is that there are no consequences during life. There is only a threat that people who have or perform abortions will go to hell in the after life. The churches only weapon is excommunication where they limit a person’s membership or exile them from the church. Originally Catholic Church’s position on excommunication was limited to the abortion of a formed fetus. The theory of a formed fetus came from Aristotle's concept of ensoulment which was adopted by Christian philosophers. Aristotle believed that fetuses were conceived in a vegetative or animalistic state and that between 40 and 90 days a fetus undergoes “ensoulment” in which the fetus actually received its human soul. So it was this concept that made abortion a homicide after the 90 period. Church councils usually grouped abortion earlier than the ensoulment with other sex crimes. After 1869…

    Abortion Is Always Wrong.

    • 365 Words

    Many agree that abortion is wrong because you are playing God as you are taking the act upon who can live and who cannot. The fifth commandment is ‘You shall not kill’ and by killing an innocent unborn child you are no better than a murder. The Roman Catholic Church believes that life begins at conception and that it is unacceptable in all situations. Jeremiah 1:5- ‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you’ killing something you already know would break the unique connection that a mother and their foetus have. The Church of England believe that a foetus is God-given life so should be protected, if you then kill the unborn child you do not respect God and therefore think you are better that him.…

    Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before the birth and the Roman Catholic Church would say that this is morally wrong. An Abortion results in the death of an embryo or fetus. Abortion, the Church says destroys the lives of helpless, innocent children. By aborting these unborn infants, humans are hurting themselves; they are not allowing themselves to meet these new identities and unique personalities. The Church teaches the human life begins at the moment of conception. During the past quarter century, abortion has joined race and war as one of the most debatable subjects of controversy in the United States. It discusses human interaction where ethics, emotions and law come together. Abortion poses a moral, social and medical dilemma that faces many individuals, which can create an intensely emotional and sometimes even violent atmosphere.…

    The Catholic Church is correct by opposing abortion for many reasons. Abortion is the intentional removal of a fetus from the uterus. There are many types of abortions. Many of the types are very violent. For instance, in one type of abortion, the abortionist cuts the baby into small pieces and sucks them out of the womb. This can be very painful for both the baby and the mother. Often, a lot of bleeding occurs.…

    The Catholic social thought principle to respect human life is most at odds with our contemporary American Society. The premeditated elimination of life is a contradiction to Catholic principle and a violation of one of God’s ten commandments, thou shall not kill. Abortion is defined as the termination of a pregnancy resulting in the death of a fetus. It is morally wrong to kill innocent human beings or destroy a potential human life. Since the time of conception, the fetus is a potential human life with its own genetic code and individual uniqueness. Conception is where human life begins and an individual has a right to life. Human life at every stage is worthy of protection. An abortion is a lack of respect for human life and is contrary to Catholic social thought under any circumstance, including rape, lack of financial means, an unhealthy baby, or medical reasons. Human life is never a means to an end. Since abortion is the elimination of human life and a form of murder, it is illegal, immoral, and in violation with the Catholic tradition upholding the sacredness of human life.…

    The catechism teaches that human life is a gift from God and is precious from its beginning to end. Only God can give or take it away; so when the idea of abortion comes in, Christians would disagree with it as it foes against the sanctity of life. However, while the life of a foetus is sacred so is the life of the mother. The difference between these two sacred lives is that the foetus has potentiality while the mother has actuality. When there is a choice between saving the mother or foetus, the mother’s need to take priority although both are sacred (doctrine of double effect).…

    Population control comes in many forms: cancer, famine, A.I.D.S, genocide, war and natural disasters, but never has one been so celebrated and socially accepted before abortion. Abortion has been practiced for hundreds of years and medical technology has advanced accordingly; providing a safer and much more sanitary procedure for the women receiving the operation, but the result remains the same for the defenseless child. Abortion continues to be one of the most debated and country dividing topics this nation has seen. In the recent past, there has been steady movement towards the governmental restrictions of abortion. The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 was one of the greatest victories in congress related to this topic. The ban restricts a certain form of abortion (partial-birth abortion) past 24 weeks from conception (United States Congress). Even though this is a positive step in the right and moral direction, the act needs to be revised. It needs to have the allotted time reduced from 24 weeks to 20 weeks based upon new medical research that fetuses can “feel pain” prior to 24 weeks. Abortion will never become completely illegal (that is just harsh reality), but the restrictions that govern abortions can be fine tuned to incorporate a smaller and more humane window for abortions.…

    Since ancient times, most religions have continued to oppose the idea of abortion. In Christianity (Catholic), abortion is considered a sin in all circumstances, including rape, except when an effort is made to save the mother’s life and the death of the foetus is a secondary effect of that effort. In Islam too, abortion is considered wrong, unless when it is performed to save the life of…

    Did you know that there are about 3,700 abortions a day in the US? So approximately 1.3 million unpunished and LEGAL murders are occurring every year. I personally think that is absurd. Abortion is wrong and I am going to tell you why you shouldn’t get one or support them because of the adoption option, the after effects and the simple fact that it’s murder. I am a Catholic so, obviously my church strongly opposes abortion. I think that abortion is morally wrong and a highly debated topic in which there is a crystal clear answer.…
