Imagine someone stabbing your head with scissors and abruptly pulling your skull out. A suction device is inserted inside your head which evacuates your skull contents. Your body is then cut up into small pieces and thrown away like an empty pop can. Pretty picture right? Well unfortunately, what I described is just one of many different procedures that occur more than 4000 times a day, due to the legalization of abortion. In today's culture, millions of infants have experienced cruel deaths because of society's belief in the termination of pregnancy. I am highly against abortion and I believe that the legalization of abortion was one big mistake our country has made.
[...] Why is it only in the case of abortion they argue that should be absolute? Using the same rationale, wouldn't people have the right to drugs (“it's my or the right to “choose to practice prostitution? Humane societies don't tell people they have a “freedom of choice” to kill their own children. In life, there are right and wrong choices. In recent history, millions of innocent people died because of terribly wrong choices that slave owners and Nazis thought they had a to make. [...]
[...] Women who resort to abortion are not helping the issue, but putting themselves through a second act of violence. By taking a stand and accepting the child for what it's worth, something horrible can turn into something life-giving. The key here is support for both of the victims, mother and child. Abortion is such a devastating experience and can have negative side effects with women. The National Institute of Health found that girls and young women were more likely to think about committing suicide, and they were also much more likely to follow through with it. [...]
[...] Abortion rates are extremely high in America, and the deaths of unborn children are often compared to the number of soldiers who have died during a war. To elaborate, on the Vietnam Memorial, a total of 58,132 names are written (Human Life). When compared to aborted babies, this number is incredibly small. Statistics have shown that every two weeks, there is an aborted child for every single name on that memorial, and research has proven that the number of children killed annually is slightly more than the number of total American casualties in all wars (Human Life). [...]
[...] Studies have shown that the number one reason women resort to abortion is because unprotected sex occurred and they don't want to have a child at that particular time in their life. Throughout the United States, there are nearly 3,000 Crisis Pregnancy Centers that volunteer to help women who face unplanned or untimely pregnancies. In addition to providing pregnancy tests and counseling, these centers often offer a full range of services, helping women obtain housing, maternity and baby clothes, baby equipment, pre- and post-natal medical care, legal assistance and financial support, information about adoption, and even advice on how a woman in school can continue her education (Alternatives to Abortion). [...]
[...] Approximately 52% of women who resorted to abortion were under the age of 25 and 19% of those women were all teenagers. Research has also shown that the abortion rate is highest for women who are eighteen or nineteen years old. One reason abortion should be banished is because if a person has consensual sex, then they know there is a chance of a pregnancy to occur. There is no way of preventing pregnancy 100% unless a person refrains from sexual intercourse. [...]
