It is a woman's most intimate and personal time when she finds herself pregnant. The test is positive, but the woman may not be positive about keeping the baby. She didn't feel ready or prepared for the major impact another life would bring her. Frantically, she finds herself trapped in a crisis in which she wants to be released from. Abortion seems so easy, so convenient, and so necessary. She must wrestle with her heart saying, "Don't do it," and her mind saying, "It's the only thing I can do." The world around her tells her abortion is acceptable, and she ought to have the freedom to terminate the pregnancy. It is her body, right? Under the anxiety of making such a drastic decision, she might forget to consider the long-term consequences of her decision, the other person's life that will be affected, or the physical and emotional repercussion that she might have to encounter.
Since the legalization of abortions in 1973, over 40 million unborn babies have been terminated (nrlc.org). These deaths surpass the casualties in all the American wars combined! (nrlc.org). Those 40 million men and women could have impacted society significantly. One of them could have been a doctor who found a cure for a disease or a President of the United States but the opportunity was stolen from them. Jeremiah 1:4-5, "The Lord said to me, 'I knew you before you were formed within you mother's womb; before you were born I sanctified you and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.'" Here God makes it apparent that He knows each unborn baby and already has a purpose for him. If God gave them life, is it our right to take it away from them? The baby is an innocent bystander and did nothing to...
Very one sided
You dont balance your own view with the physical and mental trauma of a woman left to deal with having to carry and give birth to a baby she does not want and cannot provide for. Abortion casualtys are still a lot lower than casualtys during childbirth. The mental scars from adoption are, in my opinion much larger than the ones left from removing a non-sentient ball of cells. Also, with the worlds 6 billion people, is it advisable to encourage 40 million unloved, unwanted children to be born when there are quite enough already in the world? You also dont mention if you see the victims of rape and incest in a different light.Abortion is, i agree an extream measure, that sould never be taken for granted. I think that th 40 million reflects less on the women having abortions , but more on the society that is not teaching proper contraception and attitudes towards sex in the first place. Any way, good arguments, well structured!
