Murder suspects in America are convicted everyday, yet thousands of murderers murder people without meeting ends with justice. Abortion continues to stand as one of the most debatable subject matters in America while several points indicate that it is wrong. Because ethics and law intertwine, the Abortion debate continues to be a fired up topic.
The Abortion procedure is morally wrong whether you look at it from a religious perspective or not. A Christian would argue that it is wrong because its in direct violation of one of the 10 commandments: You shall not kill. Abortion would still be wrong even if you werent a believer because taking away any life; especially a human beings life is in fact murder as defined in the dictionary. Which one convicted or murder in the United States would be penalized with the maximum degree of punishment. And ethically, murder is wrong. And from a Christian point of view, God should be the only person that decides when a life should begin or end.
No other person should have the option to decide on that. God has plans for the babys life from the beginning to the end. He expects no one to interfere with the life of the child. God creates the baby exactly the way he wants and secures it in a place that he believes is safe enough environment to grow. When a baby is conceived, he begins to grow into a human being. Abortion should not interfere with the growing of a child. The right to kill the baby i.e. abort it shall only be in the hands of God not in the hands of a woman that cannot deliver the child for whatever reason. Abortion is immoral because God believes so as indicated in the bible, our conscience believes so, and each life is precious including the one inside a pregnant womans womb.
Another reason why Abortion is wrong is that life begins at conception not in any specific trimester, as a Pro-Choice person would argue. As soon as a baby is conceived, it is scientifically proven that it is a human being just like any one of us. A person that is for abortion would argue that it is her own right to decide what she wants to do with herself when entangled in a difficult situation such as an unwanted pregnancy. But when she becomes pregnant and carries that child inside her womb, it is not only her legal right to abort the baby but the baby also has every right to live. Now the pregnant woman is technically carrying two complete sets of chromosomes. Another good example would be a situation where a pregnant woman got murdered. Consequently, the suspect would in some states be convicted for double manslaughter. So, to devalue or question the life of that in a womb is unacceptable and immoral.
Furthermore, Abortion is wrong not only for the proven scientific and religious reasons, but also because of the number of options available to the pregnant woman. When a pregnant woman undergoes an unwanted pregnancy whether it be because theyre not ready or because they were raped victims, they always have the option to give their child up for adoption after the delivery. In addition, the baby inside the womb didnt decide they wanted to be there, the mother knew the consequences in having sex. There is no good enough reason an abortion is positively necessary. There are so many couples waiting to adopt innocent kids and it is sad to know that so many women are aborting them. Our society is full of opportunity and provides many options for those in need. And even if the child inside the womb would be born retarded for any reason, he/she still has every right to live just like we do. The better way to handle an unwanted pregnancy is to give the innocent baby up for adoption.
In closure to the previous arguments above, Abortion is the murdering of a human being and is most definitely immoral and wrong. There are too many options to even consider killing a human being, therefore any type of killing, especially that of a human being, can not be morally justified.
