If someone does not want a baby, she should refrain from sexual activity or use protection. When a baby starts developing inside the womb, it is a living soul. I do not believe that having an abortion before the end of the first three months is okay because the fetus is not fully developed. That fetus is already alive and growing. Taking its life should be considered killing a baby.
Abortion is illegal to happen after 24 weeks as the death of a baby at this late a stage is unethical as this embryo is so close to being a human. Only in exceptional circumstances is abortion ok, such as if the mother’s life is threatened or if the child is going to suffer extreme
From a religious standpoint they believe that when the fetus arrives it is a person. Most believe when the nervous system is made, because it can feel pain like an abortion. However this stage does not happen until the 6th or 7th month and abortion never occurs after the 24th week. Abortion is necessary because of the potential of existing circumstances that would be a detriment to the mother or fetus. The mother could be physically, mentally, or emotionally unwell and not capable of being pregnant or having a child without endangering her health; the pregnancy could have possibly been the result of a terrible crime, such as rape or incest; the fetus could be unhealthy and be a danger to the mother's health.
In my opinion, parents should not vaccinate their children if they want to protect them from developing autism. First of all parents should not vaccinate their children, if they want to protect them from developing autism, because families all over the nation are pointing to childhood vaccinations as the cause for autism. Despite what government and medical authorities say about the safety of vaccines, parents are wise to hear what the parents of autistic children say about their children being normal until vaccinations (Attkinson, 2011). Even though this is not official scientific proof, it is definitely loud enough to make any parent think twice before vaccinating their children. Secondly, parents should oppose vaccinating their children as a way of protection from developing autism because of the significant step of banning mercury from being included in vaccines, which was taken by the US government related to this matter (Campbell, 2004).
Even in the case of rape, the RC Church does not support abortion - the foetus would be paying for someone else’s crime. “Human life is sacred”. Humanae Vitae, 1968: “The unborn human being’s right to live is one of the inalienable human rights” Pope John Paul II, 1985 "Abortion is a serious sin. Everyone, whether Catholic or not, should have a proper respect for human life. "Declaration on Procured Abortion, 1974: "From the time that the ovum is fertilised a new life is begun which is neither that of the father or the mother.
Warren beings her argument by acknowledging that abortion “…usually entails the death of a fetus. ( Social and Personal Ethics: The Moral Status Of Abortion, Marry Anne Warren, Page 109)” Shockingly enough, at least to many individuals, Warren still holds firm that safe abortion is both morally permissible and under no circumstance should be illegal. Warren recognizes that it is almost futile to argue with those who believe that abortion is equivalent to murder unless it is argued that fetuses to not have the same right to life as other human beings. She does this by
A common argument for those who are known as being “pro-choice,” is that it cannot be considered murder due to the fact that the fetus is not “living” and cannot be labeled as an actual human being until it reaches the point of viability (when a baby can survive outside of the womb) which is typically at around twenty four weeks, and therefore have no rights to protect; pro-life advocates believe the opposite. They insist that life begins at conception, making the fetus a living child with rights and freedoms, with scientific proof to back this belief. “I am no more prepared to say that these early stages of development in the womb represent an incomplete human being than I would be able to say that the child prior to the dramatic effects of puberty is not a human being.” (Dr. Alfred Bongioanni) In other
The term abortion most commonly refers to the induced abortion of a human rather than non-human pregnancy. Abortions are (most safely) done in the first trimester (before the 12th week of pregnancy). The type of abortion performed depends on how far the pregnancy has progressed. Voluntary abortions should only be done in the first trimester, in that time frame chemicals are used not dangerous surgeries. We all want to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies, but there is no reason to single out abortion among all a woman’s reproductive choices as the one choice which is somehow less valid or acceptable than childbirth, adoption, or other reproductive choices.
Abortion is seen as no different to murder. In the case or Rape or incest, pro-life campaigners argue that the child is the one being punished when it has not committed the crime and that the child is completely innocent and it’s the criminal that instead should be punished. Pro –life campaigners also argue that adoption is an alternative to abortion, and that many people will use abortion as a method of contraception. They argue that there are thousands of people waiting to adopt children, so if a mother decides she doesn’t want her child for any reason she can offer this child through adoption to a suitable
But I do not think it is right for the government to make abortion illegal either. Individual liberty is one of the founding principles of the United States and the decision to have an abortion is a very personal one. While I think it is a serious choice to have an abortion, I think there are some situations where it can be justified. A woman should not be forced to have a child that is the result of rape or incest. Even if these cases are only about one percent of abortions, it still affects thousands of women each year.
