One of the obvious reasons abortion is wrong is the fact that it is murder. The Bible does not point out differences between a fetus and a baby. God knows of you before you are even thought of by your parents. By the time a baby is conceived he or she is already known by god. The ten commandments were written in order to guide the human race to do no wrong. One of the commandments states “ You shall not murder”. Abortion …show more content…
clearly contradicts this statement, which is intended to help us. Abortion is manslaughter and needs to be stopped. Abortion is the knife that severs the rope of responsibility.
Aside from killing the baby, abortions are also unsafe for the mother.
“Out of the 42 million abortions yearly, about 68,000 women will die of unsafe abortions and 5 million will suffer with health complications”(medreviews.com). Why would you take your baby’s life and risk yours as well? Many abortions have the mother doing actions like drinking bleach or inserting things inside her body to kill the baby. While this solves the mother’s problem, it also risks her life by causing poisoning or internal bleeding. “The main causes of death from unsafe abortions are hemorrhage, infection, sepsis, and genital trauma”(medreviews.com). Many abortions are done by women who have other children and either can’t afford another child or don’t want another child. If they perform an unsafe abortion, it increases their chances of complications. “Deaths of mothers leave 220,000 children motherless”(medreviews.com). This number is sad and therefore leaves more children without maternal love. Abortions will always be unsafe to the mother and puts lives at risk every
day.
Not only do abortions end an innocent baby’s life without even giving him or her a chance, but abortions reduce the number of babies that can be adopted by loving families. Put yourself in the shoes of a loving couple that isn’t able to have a baby for themselves. A foster baby would be a blessing for them, and they would have the opportunity to be the parents that the baby deserves, and the baby would have a chance to live life. On average, over four million babies are born each year. Four out of every ten will be aborted. “Abortion is like robbery, life is the most precious gift, and abortion steals that gift away”(yahoo.com). This quote is true. Abortion steals the life of the child. It is murder.
These are just a few reasons of why abortion is immoral. These safe abortions are not terminating the pregnancy, but terminating a life. The concept of abortion is often misunderstood by many people. Mothers are supposed to love and care for their children no matter what hardship comes their way, but many women have forgotten that in today’s society. People think it is a ¨convenience¨ for themselves to have their baby aborted, but in reality people often regret their decisions. The baby is its own human being who deserves a chance to experience life and the ups and downs throughout it. If abortion is considered legal, then we are sending a message that human life has little value. Why should the child pay for the wrong doing of another?
