Every year in America, over 1,000,000 murders never reach the courtroom. They never reach the courtroom because they are completely legal by ways of abortion. Abortion continues to grow across the world. America and society in general has accepted this horrible act to be okay. What people don't seem to realize is that people are killing an innocent human being. No matter what anyone believes, it is a human being, and the mother shouldn't have the right to kill it if she doesn't want it. Abortion is not right because it is murder, it is immoral to kill, and it is unfair to take away one's right to live.
Abortion is murder because you're still killing a living creature or in this case, a fetus. Most people that are for abortion believe that the fetus is not considered a human being yet. This is completely wrong and has been proven by many doctors.
The human life begins when a sperm fertilizes an egg. After two months, the fetus is about 1 inch long and can move its head, mouth, arms, and legs and has a heartbeat. The fetus has recognizable features after three months. This is also around the time when the abortions are usually performed. If the fetus is not alive, why can it do almost all the things like a born baby?
Another reason abortion is not right because it is immoral. Abortion has become morally acceptable to some just because it is currently legal. Being legal does not necessarily mean it is morally the right thing. Slavery was once legal in the United States, even though it was very clear that it was morally wrong. The taking of an innocent, defenseless human life is unacceptable and also morally wrong. Killing innocent people is immoral and even...
Unresearched.
The writer has made several claims but little to no attempt at backing the claim with evidence from scientific journals and texts. The writer claims that "most" abortions take place after three months of gestation - where is that published? We are not given statistics, medical expertise - we're not even given a doctor's name. Let's look at this logistically and not for what it really is - an emotionally driven political statement. "Every year in America, over 1,000,000 murders never reach the courtroom. They never reach the courtroom because they are completely legal by ways of abortion" - if they were legal - then it's NOT murder. Let's be logical here. If you claim that murder is illegal - and it is, and then you say that 1 million "murders" never reach the courtroom because it IS legal, what are you saying? You're contradicting yourself. If you can't say what you mean, then you will never mean what you say.
Next, "What people don't seem to realize is that people are killing an innocent human being" - what is the scientific basis on this? Do you have any medical journals that quote when a fetus becomes sentient? Please be more specific. Here's where it becomes more of an emotional appeal - rather than a logical, sound argument: "
No matter what anyone believes, it is a human being, and the mother shouldn't have the right to kill it if she doesn't want it". So no matter what I believe, it's human - only YOU are right? I don't think so. It doesn't work that way. If you are right, prove it. Back your claims with appropriate evidence in your writing. You completely fail to do this. I do not see a single reference in your entire essay. I actually believe that abortions shouldn't be made unless it is absolutely necessary - but I have reasons I can support. This paper makes anyone who is strongly against abortion as a means of birth control look bad. Papers like these suggest that we are only capable of emotional dribble and that we shouldn't be trusted with a potato gun. If you want things to change, use facts - use testimony - use research. If all you can say in your entire paper is "it's wrong! it's wrong! it's wrong! so nah! I'm right and you're wrong!" then you're not only unsuccessful in argumentative prose, but you will completely fail to appeal to any kind of audience, save for mindless drones who fall for emotional appeals - which is unfortunately, most highschool students.
