cannot be broken) primary precepts to make moral decisions. One of these primary precepts, “preservation of innocent life”, leads to abortion being forbidden. Natural law observes the sanctity of life thesis, considering an embryo / foetus to be a person. However, although Natural law respects the sanctity of life, it is by no means a religious theory, for it is based on objective truth. Despite Natural Law forbidding abortion, there is a doctrine of double effect that can be implemented.
Abortion should remain legal so women would keep their faith and they will not experience hardship with their unwanted baby. There are many reasons why abortion should remain legal. It preserves a humans beings life and prevents the mother to have an unwanted life with a baby that she doesn’t want. If abortion becomes illegal not only one life will be affected but it would be the mother and the unwanted baby. The bible does not say anything about abortion but has something that sounds like they are talking about abortion.
Pro-life supporters argue more on the fetus's rights than on reproductive rights. Pro-life supporters believe that the fetus or embryo is human even before birth and that it has the same rights to live as any other human being. Pro-life is generally associated with religious believers, which is where the commandment of “thou shall not murder” comes into play. Many pro-life supporters believe that “personhood” begins at implantation of the embryo and that it is morally wrong to end that life. Studies show that when a fetus is being aborted it does indeed feel pain.
He says he accepts his church’s position on abortion, which is called “de fide doctrine” which also means “life begins at conception”. What I really liked about Joe Biden’s comment on this whole abortion topic is that he said he refuses to impose his position on others such as Muslims, Christians, and Jews. This may affect women more than men since Paul Ryan, on the other hand, is saying that the Romney administration will oppose abortion under certain circumstances. If Mitt Romney does become president, he will enforce the opposition of abortion and I don’t think it would right for him to tell women that they cannot control their own body. I definitely don’t like the idea of an abortion but I am pro choice and I strongly feel that it is a decision to be made between a woman and her doctor.
These people are referred to as “pro-life advocates”. They believe in the life of the baby over the woman’s right to choose. There are groups such as Human Life International (HLI), The Christian Coalition, and many others support the right of the human life. Their main argument is that one is murdering an unsuspected life. They have several other reasons why they do not support abortions.
You might decide a few key elements of the pro-life decisions are worthwhile, such as preserving the safety of the mother and unborn child. Your religion could also take precedence over abortions. As for myself I am undecided. Personally if I had to make the decision to keep a child that I created unintentionally I would fight for pro-life, and love the child unconditionally. Although if I were to be asked by a friend or a random person what choice should be made I would have to consider their situation.
Every abortion is tragic to that extent of ending a human life but given the option of choice is a gift from God and part of what makes being human worthwhile. To be politically pro-choice is to deny the freedom to some and grant it to others. Some liberals might say that this is an atrocity to God and his compassionate gift of choice. The Bible evidently teaches us that all humans are made in the image of God and grant us the freedom to choose. Unfortunately, there are several different reasons that conclude why abortions are appropriate in certain cases.
These are mainly Roman Catholics and they disagree because they say that ‘life being at the moment of conception’ (page102) so if the embryos are used then it is like killing a baby which is banned by the Bible and the church. Even though Roman Catholics disagree with embryo use, they agree with the same things that the liberal Protestants agree with about genetic engineering. Also, some Christians are against genetic engineering completely. This is because they say that God made us how we are so we are in no place to interfere with Gods will. They also believe that genetic modification is almost like playing Gods role, which is seen as disrespectful to God.
Reviewing this article did not change my mind on abortion. Abortion is still an abortion even if it is done quietly by a pill. Overall, I still choose pro-life over pro-choice after reading these articles. I believe a fetus should have the same rights as anyone else and should have the chance to experience life itself. These articles gave me a better understanding on how abortion is today and how it will be in the future.
Some that participate in this injustice may rationalize that one cannot be murdered until he is born, but the Bible plainly teaches in Job 31:15 that life begins in the womb. God gave every person life (Psalm 100:3), who are we to take it away or mistreat it? Others may not kill off their infant, but will choose to walk away from the responsibility of facing their own actions by abandoning or abusing the child. God continues to stay and support us in all
