Abortion And Human Rights

751 Words4 Pages

If we are allowed to murder unborn children, then why is it illegal to murder other humans? Don’t unborn babies deserve to be protected with rights equivalent to anyone else in this world? The answer is yes; babies in the womb have every right to live, just the same as you and me! Abortion is wrong and inhumane and should not be able to be used as a form of birth control for anyone. Yet, many people still do it.

When sperm and egg meet they form a zygote, which contains the forty-six chromosomes to create life. As time goes on, the baby progresses into an embryo and soon after, a fetus. The baby in the womb is not just a potential person; it is already a human being. It isn’t fair to say the baby has no rights because it can’t make the decision on its own or because it isn’t “alive.” This is a total raze of the baby’s rights! Murder is illegal and everyone, capable of making decisions or not, deserves a chance at life. There are other ways of dealing with an unexpected pregnancy such as adoption. If you feel that it is okay to kill a sweet, innocent child, then you need to put yourself in the baby’s position and think about what it would be like to have done nothing wrong and be denied your right to live.

In the article, Perspectives on Abortion: Raquel Lopez states that 33.6% of women who get abortions are between the ages of 20-26. Why should the helpless baby have to suffer because of a parent’s inability to take care of it financially or mentally? Did your parents

    Around 90% of abortions in the UK are carried out in the first trimester, (before 12 weeks of pregnancy), when the fetus is about the same size as a lime and weighs less than 14 grams. Only about 1 in 1,000 are performed in the last trimester, usually for medical reasons. Most of the gruesome images of aborted fetuses that are presented by pro-life groups are exaggerated and misleading. The fetus that is growing inside the the mother’s womb isn 't considered a human being. It can’t survive alone without the nutrients from the mother, therefore it is not yet a person.

    This shows how aborted babies are left out of experiencing life, and how abortion violates the unborn baby’s right to life. The fact that unborn babies are to see the world is reason enough for women to not practice abortion. Opponents advocate that humans are created with some genes that he or she brings with throughout his or her life. The right to life is essential to many people (abortion.procon.org).

    The first reason why it is wrong is it is murder because you are killing a living human maybe its not born yet but it is still alive. Kyle Waltman states in the article “ Pro-Life: Abortion Controversy, “Scientists and doctors have used their imperfect judgements to establish the thresholds that vary by state between legally aborting a fetus and illegally murdering a baby in such a way that the murdering of a pregnant woman results in a trial for two separate counts for murder...” In other words, it is ok for a mother to kill her baby that is not born yet and does not get trial but if the woman also gets killed illegally he get trial and goes to jail. This shows that is is the same action being done except with the woman also being murdered.. In addition, in a

    Finally, a murder would have to involve a person outside of the womb in which the fetus is still inside. The first argument against the idea that abortion is murder is that it is the woman’s body and therefore it is her decision. Since it is the decision of the mother to terminate life it is not murder. The mother is willing for a certified doctor to perform the operation within her body. With this being said it shows how the mother is comfortable

    A second reason why abortion is wrong is because it deprives the fetus from his future. When we decide to kill a fetus then we are taking away from him a future like ours. The argument is as follows : (1) it is impermissible to kill humans, who if lived, would have a future like ours, (2) if abortion is not done, the fetus would have future as we do have, (3) so it is wrong to kill the fetus (4) therefore abortion is impermissible. A similar argument was given by Don Marquis in his article “Why Abortion is Immoral”. He stated that what makes killing wrong is neither the effect on the murder, nor the effect on the victim’s relatives or friends, but the effect is on the victim himself.

    (Tanner) Pro-choice defenders also say that it is the woman 's right to choose to have the baby or not, forgetting the baby 's rights. The life of a human being begins at the moment of conception, and it is not the fetus´s fault if the mother wasn 't ready to have a baby or if the situation in which baby was conceived wasn 't ideal. For example, if the baby is conceived by rape, the baby should not pay the consequences of other people, he or she has not done anything wrong .”Compassion for the mothers is extremely important, but it is never
