Abortion: Why Is It Bad? “It is equally as heinous intentionally to kill a human being in existence at fertilization, as to kill a born child.” Nellie Gray. Abortion is a very controversial subject that has been continually argued over for the past few years and probably will be for many more to come. Those who support the idea of abortion call themselves pro-choicers, those who oppose it – pro-lifers. The first ones view abortion as a civil rights matter, whereas the second ones believe that the unborn babies have just as many civil rights as their mothers, therefore they deserve to live. This article will argue that abortions are legal murders in our society and they should be stopped. Many people who support abortions would say that most of the aborted babies would be unloved and neglected if they were born.
These people, however, are forgetting that everybody deserves to have a chance. Even if the biological parents do not want the baby, there are plenty of families around the world who wish to adopt a baby. These families often are on waiting lists for many years, while other people just throw the innocent babies away. Another argument that pro-choicers use is that the fetus is not really a human being. Someone can only be declared alive when he is born. Most scientists would disagree with such a statement. Professor Hymie Gordon of the Mayo Clinic stated “‘ . .
.by all criteria of modern biology, life is present from the moment of conception.” According to the Netscape Factbot, by the time the fetus is 24 days old, its heart starts beating, its gender, color of eyes and physical features are determined. How can one even say that such a being is not alive and not human? So if it is, it should be guaranteed to have same rights as its already-born congeners have. Whoever violated those rights is a criminal, a killer and should take a responsibility for it. It was proven that abortions not only take the lives of millions of children around the world every year, but they also have a great psychological effect on mothers. 54% of mothers who aborted a child have nightmares and 96% of them feel killers after 5-10 years after the abortion. 84% of abortions take place because parents cannot afford to keep the child. One can understand the point of those parents, but the fact that abortions are used as a birth control method is wrong. People should not be allowed to kill a baby as a result of their own mistake..
