A Life Not Yours To Take

Hey, this is a persuasive piece did. If you'd like to comment please do so, I'm looking for opinions- if you agree with me or not. Also, do you think someone would avoid abortion after reading this? Keep in mind that abortion hurts the baby's bearer, so I think I gave some harmful outcomes to the mother. Gracias! :D

 

Every new life begins at conception. This is an unquestionable fact of biology and science. This fact applies to humans, to animals, and to every other creature on our planet. When this fact is considered with the law of biogenesis (that every species can only reproduce after its own kind), we can all agree on a single statement: No matter what the circumstances are, no matter how far along in the pregnancy is, abortion always ends the life of an individual human being. Every respectable abortion advocate somehow understands this simple fact.

When we look back at life, we see love, hate, pain, happiness, and even death. We can recall the madmen in our pasts. But even some of those men were sane enough to see that abortion is wrong.

 Adolph Hitler was the most famous, anti-abortionist of all time.  He was the ultimate no choice advocate. He was an outspoken and violent opponent of abortion rights for women. Joseph Stalin, the Russian dictator from 1929 to 1953, had over 700,000,000 people punished for abortion. Saddam Hussein, the infamous dictator of Iraq from 1979 until 2003, refused to grant women the right of abortion during his time. Ayatollah Khomeini, the Iranian dictator from 1979 to 1989, said, "if a woman is blessed by god, with a child; she has no right or rule to decline this gift…" Still today, in Iran, this law is practiced.

And who else? Well, there's also Newt Gingrich, Former President Clinton, James McGreevey, Bob Livingston, Oliver North, Charles Keating, Jimmy Swaggart, Nicolae Ceausescu, All of the Brazilian Government, Richard Nixon, The Hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, Kim Jong- il, Karl Rove, George Bush Jr., and so many more. Even children agree that abortion is wrong: teenage pop-star singing sensation, Justin Bieber states "Abortion… well, it's bad as killing a live breathing baby. Like killing me."

Still, there are people saying that it doesn't harm anyone or anything. But look again, it does. As soon as an egg is fertilized, it takes only two days for the embryo to begin development. After that, it takes only 10 days for a heart to begin formation. Within 18 days, that heart will begin to function. And, in less than 20 days, that little heart begins to beat. That very second, a new life begins. A woman usually learns about her pregnancy about four to six weeks after the baby begins development. This gives no one an excuse to state that they destroyed something without a life.

No one likes it when they get hurt. Pain is nothing some one wishes to feel. Nobody, no one, and nothing wants pain. This applies to everything, including an unborn child. A baby's brain begins developing at four weeks. As we do, the baby starts understanding as soon as its brain begins functioning at five weeks. As soon as the embryo is seven weeks old, the sensations of feelings begin. At seven weeks, a baby can feel pain. And, to think that it has only been a week since a woman learned about her pregnancy, really gives no right to claim innocence of a murder.

Not only does abortion hurt the unborn child, but also the child bearer. Abortions lead to medical difficulties. The risk of ectopic pregnancies doubles and the chance of miscarriage and pelvic inflammatory disease increases. Also, a woman's  risk of getting breast cancer goes up by 160%. There are people out there willing to risk all of this just to avoid childbirth. Compared to all of these statistics, childbirth is 75% safer than abortion. If someone truly doesn't want a baby, there are safer ways to handle this situation.

There are many other alternatives that are available to the public to control childbirth other than abortion. There are over 2,050 different birth control pills that can be used to avoid pregnancy. If birth control pills are too much of a hassle, a woman has many other options of contraception. If the avoidance of fertilization was not possible, there is proper medical care for that woman who faces these circumstances. If none of this seems worthwhile, there always is the simple option of adoption. Over 1.5 million families want to adopt a child of any age; therefore one can't say that there is such a thing as an unwanted child. If a woman really thinks that this bay is unwanted, she is wrong. If this baby was meant to never be born, this baby would not have beaten every other egg to fertilization. There is a reason that a baby is being made, and there is no one that can disagree to that.

Abortion is just another form of murder. You harm an innocent, you cause pain, you bring blood-shed, and sometimes you ruin your name. How would it seem to you if you were killed, no say, no crime, only punishment? Not only is abortion crimes against humanity, the methods of abortion are too. There are three types of abortion: Below, Lifted, and Drugged. In all three of these, the baby is somehow harmed. One in 30 babies is born alive after attempted abortion. This begins a completely new situation.

When a baby is born alive, after attempted abortion, it is officially "alive." This is just like a normal baby being born. The hospital has to markdown what time this baby was born, and normal procedures will be taken. However, when the baby is born,  after surviving an abortion attempt, it usually is blind or doesn't have a properly functioning body. But, when a baby survives after attempted abortion, if this is allowed in that state, the baby is place into a bucket of freezing ice water and is smothered with placenta. Still, in states that this is illegal, this action is still taken. It is only 30% of the time that this action is discovered and the person who had done this is convicted for alleged murder. Think for a moment that if this is really necessary. Just because a woman doesn't want her baby, she will still go through childbirth, only to release a baby's corpse. The only explanation for this is not that she doesn't want to give birth, but that she wants to kill the baby.

Abortion is spreading faster than any disease. Abortion is a disease that doesn't hurt…..but kills. It spreads faster than malaria. It is carried by every female and male. The clock is ticking. One baby is aborted every 24 seconds. 147 babies are aborted every hour. 3,542 babies are aborted every day. 24,865 babies are aborted every week. 107,750 babies are aborted every month. And every year, about 42 million abortions are done. And 20 million of those are done illegally and unsafely. It is averaged that a woman attempts abortion at least once in her life. Forty- two million abortions are equivalent to 200-250 years of Iraq casualties. But, the difference between Iraq casualties and abortion is that abortion is done by a mother whose love is told to be greater than heaven itself. Now, is that what you were told about abortion?

Abortion is wrong; millions of babies are murdered every year. At bottom line, that's all abortion is: The deliberate murder of an innocent baby. That is what abortion is ever going to be. There is a reason a life began, and there is no reason it should be ended without a guilty charge. A baby's life is a life that is not yours to take.
