Abortion
The horrors and evils in the world today are astronomical in numbers. Of all of these many abominations, one of the worst is abortion. There have been 38,010,378 abortions since 1973 (Number of Abortions by Year. 20 April 2007. <http://www.euthanasia.com/usstat.html>). Abortion is the removal of a fetus from the womb for the purpose of ending a pregnancy. To just say "removal" would be putting it extremely mild. I have seen photographs of aborted babies. Those pictures were probably the most tragic and depressing images that I have ever laid my eyes on. It brings tears to your eyes to see the tiny, dissected forms of precious living beings that had no chance at life.
The amazing thing is that the people involved in the abortion process have no remorse or shame for doing this at all. They think that it is okay and perfectly moral.
Their viewpoint never ceases to amaze and disgust me. The mindset of the world today is absolutely appalling.

Abortion Essay assignment: develop your point of view on a controversial issue in society
As a piece of writing, this essay is adequate. It is better than many of the essays I have seen on this site, but the writer's extremist position substantially undercuts any value that the essay has. Here is a writer who emphatically takes the position that a woman has no right to end a pregnancy if that pregnancy is the result of a rape. This writer would apparently also take the rigorous position that a woman has no right to abort a pregnancy if the medical community states emphatically that the pregnancy will endanger the woman's life. These are two position in the extremist camps, and intellectually they eventually show themselves to be indefensible. I find it quite unsurprising that the writer apparently is male.
