Abortion: Jesus Ain't the President - A Rebuttal

It is a well written unfair persuasion or personal persuasive essay.


While basically a rebuttal to an essay that defines abortion as murder, it also looks at religion's influence on government.


You might have cited the essay you were rebutting.


Your opinions are well thought out and organized.

I thought your essay was very well written, although it would have been helpful if we could have seen the original essay you are rebutting.


Just for the record (for this crazily religious mentality you have in America) I believe in sex before marriage. I do not believe in marriage. I live with my boyfriend happily, and have done for the last 2 years. I have had an abortion. Not because I was silly, but because my contraception failed (I am that statistic - 0.01% out of 100). I would always have used 2 methods of contraception if I had thought in any way that might have happened.


I am not religious. I hate people who try and argue basing their arguments on the Bible, or other religious works. This is because they arrogantly ignore all other beliefs. Most people do not believe in the Bible. There is no proof that the Bible, or any other religious work is true. So please, if you must argue, argue with rational thought, and logic, not religion.


I do think abortion is wrong. But, I'm young, and the least maternal person ever and I am not in an ideal situation to bring up a child. And I am selfish, because I do not want children now, it would ruin my life, and I have very real fears that I would not be able to love a child I had now. People who say this is natural are wrong. Lot's of people do not love their children at birth, and I fear I might have been one of them.


My point is, it is my life, my body and was my child while still inside of me. I did the wrong thing, but it was my decision to make, with or without the state I would have attempted it anyway. Whether it is illegal or not, people will get pregnant when they don't want to, and will try and get rid of their babies. This is the harsh truth.

Very well written. Got your point across well, and provided good information.

I thought this essay was very well written and gave many different views on the topic, but stayed on the right path on getting their point across.

you say that we're opinionated and close-minded, and yet this entire essay is entirly opinion...oh im confused...

The title of this is great, and your rebuttal of anti-choice and religious-based arguments is logical and well written.

\"So it makes most sense to let people do with their own bodies as they please.\"

1 Corinthians 6:20,21

What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, WHICH ARE GOD\'S.


You are right, Jesus is not the President; He\'s the Creator. For who is it that allows the woman to become pregnant? God knows the exact number of hairs on your head, and He knows the moment a child is conceived. We discuss the rights of individuals, yet what of the rights of an individual who cannot even know what kind of a world he will be born into. We are not our own. If we were, we would have no need of God\'s Laws at all. You present a good argument; and, although I strongly disagree, your argument is well written. I\'m sorry if I offend anyone.

Were you rebutting another essay? Because I didn't get to read the initial essay, nor was there even a mention of a title so I suppse I'll have to take you word for it.


As for the actual essay, your essay conveys a VERY misleading message that all pro-lifers are creepy religious folk. Me, for example, I am as liberal as they come, and I was pro- choice for the longest time, but during a religions assingement this semester I was argueing in it's favour and I could not find any reason for why a woman should abort other than if her life is in danger. I'm also an athiest. So you need to get your facts straight before you make such blunt generalizations. I'm not insulted or anything, but teachers and stuff look for those kinds of things.

i think abortion is wrong and not cuz everyone thinks so, and not because some book says its wrong, i think its wrong because u r killing something that could do something useful, and u kno that baby can be a gift or a punishment it depends on how u look at it, its a persons fault for having sex wen they arent even married yet, and y go through abortion y not give the baby up for adoption, ur essay was well formated, and it was interesting to read.

"it makes most sense to let people do with their own bodies as they please" I couldn't agree more... you don't always know girls' situations.
