Legalization of Abortion

Legalization of Abortion

     On January  22, 1973,  the United States Supreme Court legalized
abortion. When the it ruled that abortion was legal, the court not only gave
women the right to choose but also gave the unborn  babies  a right to die.
Since that day, millions upon millions of unborn children have been ripped apart,
burned with saline solutions, and sucked from their mothers' wombs. With every
abortion that occurs another inaudible scream from the unborn child  is silenced
and the rights of that child  are  taken away .
     If someone where to be asked if murder was wrong, the general answer
would be yes. When that same person is asked if abortion is murder,  the answer
may be yes, but most likely  the answer is no. Why do most people think that
murder is wrong, but do not agree that abortion is murder?  The reason for this
contradiction is that  most people believe that the unborn infant is not a human,
but an organ or part of the woman's body, which would make the act of aborting
the child just the same as removing an appendix. This problem of when life
begins stems from the inconsistencies which come from the case of Roe v. Wade.
The Supreme Court interrupted  that by the ninth  and fourteenth amendments that
a woman has the right to an abortion. The court that day, however, did not rule
when a life begins for a human.  If society is to assume that a fetus is a human
the second it  leaves the uterus, then what is the unborn baby three minutes
from birth , a monkey. When an unborn baby is aborted, society must realize that
an organ was not taken out, but a living human being.  This would make abortion
wrong because according to law, no one has the right to take away anther's life.
     With many  people considering  the cases of unwanted pregnancy due to
rape or incest to be acceptable, they must  realize that the child is not the
crime.  Society's reason behind this is, why should the woman suffer from the
pain and remembrance that the pregnancy brings.  Even though cases of abortion
due to rape and incest only make up one percent of the total number abortion
performed, there is  no reason why 15,000 unborn babies should be murdered
annually.  Why should the baby be condemned to death because of a crime that was
committed by another person.  If innocent people should be condemned to death
because they are the result of the crime, then instead of imprisoning or putting
death a convicted murder we should kill one of that prisoner's family members.
If the woman does not want to have the baby they could either carry the unborn
baby  until full term  and give the child up for adoption, or go within twenty
four hours to a hos...
