The Pro-life advocates who are against late-term abortion argued that life begins at conception. At six weeks the fetus heart begins to beat and all the major organs have developed. In that case, any action deliberately taking to abort the fetus is ethically wrong and is considered as murder. An unwanted child is a pitiful thing, the thought of terminating something that if allowed to run its natural course, would result in the birth of a human being that will bring joy to most families. The Pro-abortionist focused only on a women’s right to choose and all the social problems inherent in an unwanted child, forgetting that the unborn child is a precious thing that has the right to life and deserves the full protection under the moral and ethics law.
Although the act was usually but not always the choice of the woman, abortion was illegal and to end pregnancy was considered to be murder. In the two decades before abortion was legal in America, it's been estimated that about one million women per year underwent illegal abortions. Because these illegal procedures were performed by the woman or someone else who was not medically trained to perform the procedure, women died. In my opinion trying to make abortion illegal is pointless because the women will resort to drastic measures and other means to end the unwanted birth. Here we are in this so-called world of freedom but when we exercise that freedom, we become ridiculed for making a choice.
Moral Living is like putting a jigsaw puzzle together having all the pieces in place so one can see the big picture. The puzzling part of moral living comes in thinking that all decision we make are separate and unrelated, but actually are part of our personal integrity. In catholic moral thinking, one critical element is the process called discernment. In our faith we believe that God sees the world in terms of the big picture at all times. God wants us to see the world the same way in so far as we can; but sin distorts our vision.
The side affects, whether it be emotional or physical, are too much for someone to bare. While some women do over come the emotional idea of killing a fetus, it will liger for a lifetime. Not knowing what the child looked like, or how they would have impacted a life is devastating to most. No one will know how great of a person that child would grow up to be. There are lots of opinions about abortion, and most are not 100 percent for or against the idea.
Brian Montano Thoughtless Murder? In American society and societies around the world it has become a natural thing for a women to realize that one morning that she is late with her period check, find out she is pregnant, and by mid afternoon no longer be pregnant. I am of course talking about one of the worst evils in the earths history, this evil is abortion. Is this a normal accurance in today’s modern fast paced society or is it a murder of a innocent child who deservers nothing more then life its self? In a abortion a women can use many reasons to why she would use a abortion instead of other methods.
There are many reasons, most of them being because the parents are not prepared to handle the responsibility of a child, and have conceived an infant by accident. According to Linda Lowen, “4 out of 10 unintended pregnancies end in abortion” (Abortion Facts). This is a large number of 40% of children who get their lives taken away because of a careless mistake of someone who was not prepared to have a child. Statistics show that three of the main reasons for having an abortion are, “3/4 say that having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities; about ¾ say they cannot afford a child; and ½ say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner” (The Alan Guttmacher Institute). These are all reason that could be avoided, and save many lives in the early stages.
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.
So next time you say “F Life” or “FML,” think about the babies who don’t even get to experience life. Life is a gift from God and we should take pride in it. So with that said, why DOES a baby have to die for something it didn’t even
B. Therefore, the Catholic response to abortion goes far beyond the abortion issue itself. It is to bring a message of hope and continuity to a fragmented world. It is to help people to acquire some measure of order in their lives. The well-know phrase “ideas have consequences” is precautionary.
Even countries around the world do have a problem with abortion to the point where they would implement laws to control whether the infant lives or dies. Even then Ann Scheidler, who is the vice president of the Pro-Life Action League, opposes how Northern Ireland treats human rights to unborn children since they are considered poor in health. The Republic of Ireland bans abortion entirely where it is illegal and that it is only allowed if the female’s life is in danger. According to reports between 1980 and 2014 around 163,514 women moved between countries to try to get an abortion. This brings up the fact that people only get abortions where it is only beneficial to themselves or that friends or family don’t want to have the child depending on if the woman is not ready for parenthood or whether she was accidently impregnated.
