Abort Essay, Research Paper

Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth and is morally wrong. An abortion

results in the death of an embryo or a foetus. Abortion destroys the lives of helpless,

innocent children and illegal in many countries. By aborting these unborn infants,

humans are hurting themselves; they are not allowing themselves to meet these new

identities and unique personalities. Abortion is very simply wrong. Everyone is raised

knowing the difference between right and wrong. Murder is wrong, so why is not

abortion. People argue that it is not murder if the child is unborn. Abortion is murder

since the foetus being destroyed is living, breathing and moving. Why is it that if an

infant is destroyed a month before the birth, there is no problem, but if killed a month

after birth, this is inhumane murder.

It is morally and strategically foolish, because we lose the middle when we talk about

reproductive rights without reference to a larger moral and spiritual dimension, and we

are unwilling to use language like transgression and redemption, or right and wrong.

-Wolf p54

The main purpose abortions are immoral is how they are so viciously done. Everyday,

innocent, harmless foetuses that could soon be laughing children are being brutally

destroyed. One form of abortion is to cut the foetus into pieces with serrated forceps

before being removed, piece by piece from the uterus by suction with a vacuum

aspirator. Another form consists of bringing the foetus feet first into the birth canal,

puncturing its skull with a sharp instrument and sucking out the brain tissue. The body

parts, such as the head, are given letters, rather than refer to the parts as what they

are. In my opinion this is for the doctors who cannot face the reality of what they are

doing. The remains of the foetus or embryo, as the case may be, are put into

everyday, plastic buckets and then sent to a dumpster where these precious bones

and limbs are disposed. However, how and when an abortion takes place are matters of

little importance to pro- abortionists and other defenders. Even former abortion

practitioners from varying backgrounds and religions have a new view on abortion.

These changes of heart were caused by psychological, religious and scientific reasons.

One doctor, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, performed 60,000 abortions and supervised 10,000,

before scientific evidence and the use of an ultrasound, convinced him he was

promoting and participating what he now calls “the most atrocious holocaust in the

history of the United States.” Other doctors refuse to perform legal abortions, saying

they should save lives rather than destroy them.

Many argue is it the women’s or the foetus’ rights and values that are being trampled

on. “Pro-choice movements sometimes fall back on an abortion rhetoric that seems to

dehumanize and trivialize the death of a foetus as a way to humanize and make

important the reproductive rights of women.” (Wolf p54) “Women can treat an

unwanted foetus as a violation of her civil rights and is therefor justified tin using force

to expel it” (McMillan pA12) The decision is not up to the mother because she is not

God. Only God, the ultimate creator has the right to choose who may live and who shall

die. Humans do not have the right or the power to control the quality of life and to

avoid suffering. “The issue of abortion is not just life, but how life is created and the

extent to which human intention and control the process, both before and after birth.

All humans inventions and interventions may give us a world to regret.” (Clark p3) With

abortion, we humans give ourselves dominion over a large part of God’s plans and our

destiny.

Abortion becomes especially evil when the bond between mother and child is broken

and it is being used as an alternative birth control when humans cannot control their

irresponsible sexual hungers. If beings are responsible enough to be sexually active,

they should also be responsible enough to accept consequences, and if that means

becoming pregnant and creating a life, then that life should have the opportunity to

live. There should be a bond or relationship between a mother and child, whether born

or unborn.

Mothers and her children form a bond unlike any other felling of love; when a child is

aborted, before given the right to grow in the bond, does the mother feel the

connection with her child or is it just uterine material. Abortion is never about just

abortion. It is about questions like whether the society at large, or individual pieces of

it, regards the fact of women’s fertility as burden or gift, and how they treat it, and

what are the incentives ad disincentives they provide. How the rearing of children is

regarded – benefit or burden, or sometimes a balance of those, and who is responsible

for that. And then one of the deepest things, at the core of what aborti
