Perhaps SOME people would be more careful if abortions were illegal. Although I don't think many people consider abortions until they get pregnant. It should be considered women would definitely find more dangerous methods to get rid of the fetus as well if abortion was illegal. Its a double edge blade. There would be terrible consequences if you get rid of abortion. |
There may be an increase in parents terminating babies on their own, but I would contest this number would be much fewer than the number of abortions that occur. If thats the case those that commit that offense should be tried in court and punished as a murderer. I think it would be much more difficult for a parent to have the will to intentionally kill their child, even though I know there are sick people out there that still do this today. people finding babies dumped in trash cans and such. Its rare, but it happens. Its easier for them to go into an abortion clinic and have it done, because they don't truly see the baby inside of them as a human baby. Most are told its just a clump of cells.
I will share something with you. There is a woman I know in her 40s now. When she was young she got preganant and aborted her first child. Then soon after she got pregnant again. She went and had that one aborted as well. Later that evening she became extremely ill and went back to a local hospital. The Doctor ran some tests and then came back to her and told her that she had a serious infection because there were body parts of the child left behind inside of her. After that she was no longer able to become pregnant. And she didn't think of it as a human baby until the doctor told her that news.
I'm not trying to tell you this as a sob story, but the problem is the human being inside the womb has become dehuminized and thats why abortion is allowed, because we try to say we are not taking a life. I see people saying on this thread, "Well if it does not have a fully developed brian or dosn't have a concious then terminating it is not murder." Honestly this makes no sense if we know that truly the life inside the mother that was made from the man's sperm and the woman's egg is now developing as a human being then why is it not criminal act to terminate that human being? A human being IS a person. The human being inside the mother's womb is a baby no matter what stage of development it is at. A man and a woman chose to have sex and knew it could result in a new person to come into this world. What gives them the right to terminate that individual's existence and deny them the right to life?
Here is the Issue at hand: What difference does it make if I were to kill a human being in the womb in the first few weeks of its development from a baby just born into the world? The human being in the womb is doing nothing to contribute to society. Likewise the newborn baby is doing nothing to contribute to society. The newborn baby left on its own would die. It has to have care. If the human being in the womb was taken out it would die because it needs to develop in order to live outside the womb. Both are human. Both have done nothing to contribute to society yet. Why deny the human in the womb the right to live, but not the newborn baby?
