Should The Controversial Topic of Abortion Be Banned By The U.S. Government?

Being one of the most controversial topics in America, abortion, should never be legal. There are numerous amounts of information to support my rather bold statement.

Yes, I acknowledge that women have the right to make choices of when to have children in relation to their age, financial stability, relationship stability, etc. I also understand that raising a child is a lot of work, especially for someone who is unprepared. However, there are far better alternatives, such as adoption. For instance, adoption is cheaper than abortion and it does not involve discontinuing the development of a human being. People may even go as far to argue that a fetus is not legally a human being and that it is virtually brain dead with no self-awareness. My argument is that it is a living being in development. There is a reason that several women, who desire to have children, become incredibly upset in cases of having a miscarriage or accidentally losing the baby. If there was nothing to lose, why would they be upset at all when they are informed by their doctor that the living being died in the womb?

Also, imagine if you could see into the future. Let’s say you were thinking about terminating your unborn child through abortion, but were curious to see what would become of that child if you kept him or her. Behold, the future shows that your unborn child would soon make millions of dollars, achieve fame, and make a lasting positive contribution for the world to remember forever by benefitting people through successes. Oh, and let’s not forget, you would be receiving endless amounts of beneficial treatment as well. Your child would be a constant blessing and joy to be around, making your life happier every single day. With all of this in consideration, has your mind changed? If you said yes, then this is a fine example as to why abortion is a selfish act.

Yes, the woman will have to endure an estimated 9 months of pregnancy and I compassionately do understand that. It will be extremely hard, but it is about doing what is right for the potential human. We are here to create lives, not terminate them. Every life deserves a chance to make a contribution. How would you feel if you were about to be removed completely through existence starting tomorrow and there was nothing you could do about it? Personally, I will never be able to believe that a woman in this world becomes pregnant with the purpose in life solely being to terminate the baby.

Some people like to raise the argument that the world is overpopulated and does not need unwanted pregnancies, making abortion a good thing. Actually, I responded to a comment on YouTube recently in regards to someone claiming this statement. This is what I wrote: “With technology progressing rapidly, who knows what possibilities we will have in the future? I would not even doubt an eventual migration to a different planet. The possibilities are endless. You think about the possibilities of what overpopulation will bring, but forget about the possibilities of humans finding a decent solution through something like technology. You forget that possible benefits that human life may bring. Anything other than purposefully killing off the human species is a better solution. How would people determine who lives and who dies when all of us are equally valued? The purpose of human life is to lovingly enjoy, chase your dreams, and benefit others through contribution. What would be the point to human life if people were just going to get killed off because of overpopulation? It makes zero sense and would destroy the meaning of life in the first place. Forcefully sacrificing others through death in order for the betterment of others is not reasonable because happiness is not found at the cost of other people. Economic, political, and social developments are in no way more important than human life itself. Remember that we regard those things important because we are currently living. If killing others off is ok, then who cares about all the other stuff? Life is pointless with your concept. If humans are willing to kill others in order for them to progress, why progress at all? We are all valuable lives. Consider reading the short story, "Those Who Walk Away From Omelas" and it will show that, again, when humans have to bring suffering upon others in order to gain what they think is happiness, they will find no completion. There are always alternative solutions that may require more hard work and patience as opposed to settling a solution by quickly killing to prevent overpopulation. Would you willingly sacrifice yourself to die in order to have a more decent sized population?”

The topic of abortion is controversial and often produces a bias response. Everyone has his or her own opinions, which I respect to a high degree. Wrongfully judging others is something I avoid at all costs and everyone’s opinion should be considered when coming to a decisions. However, I believe that it is undeniably wrong to prevent a future human being to have a chance at living this beautiful thing we call life.

What To Consider When Dealing With Bernie Sanders and Socialism

All Eyes on U.S., provided an excellent blog with a reasonable argument of their beliefs. Now, I agree with you that America needs to focus on itself, as we are on somewhat of a decline. Sanders is the type of guy who is ready to get stuff done and I love how he wants to benefit those who are put in an unfortunate position financially. Yes, free universal health care, higher minimum wages, and free college educations sounds incredible, but it is not that easy. Every president becomes president because they are willing to put in the hard work to benefit America as a nation, which raises the question, don’t you think all of those great things would have been implemented by now if there was no potential consequence?

Sander’s most significant proposals are providing a single-payer health care system, breaking up big banks, raising minimum wage to $15, and ending free trade agreements NAFTA, CAFTA, permanent normal trade relations (PNTR) with Chine and the recently-signed Trans-Pacific Partnership. In reality, most of his ideas have solely focused on spending without a clear idea as to how to pay for the proposals. One can interpret that paying for his programs would require an increase in the deficit and/or higher taxes. If Sanders’ policies deepen, the budget deficit for many years down the road, it could impact the bond market and creditor, driving up interest rates and having an inability to give out loans. Overall, it could be more expensive to run the government. Bill Clinton learned this during his presidency as he was forced to prioritize deficit reduction instead of fulfilling his spending promises.

            Bernie Sanders has included raising taxes on the rich and corporations in order to pay for a large expansion of programs for everyone else at the heart of his campaign. In other words, there will be an enormous tax increase for everyone except those at the bottom. I am in full support of helping those in need. However, what will the reaction are when taxes are raised exponentially? Isn’t the purpose of America to be a place where every American can determine their success based off of their hard work? Of course, some are put into much better situations than others, providing them a seemingly easier access to opportunity, but that does not make it impossible. I am often times alone with this thought, but most of the most successful people in the world started with absolutely nothing. If they could find success, then why can’t others who are at the bottom? Must they continuously rely on the government to get them out of trouble? People who are outrageously successful did not blame any of their surroundings because they understood that being successful was completely their responsibility. They made the sacrifice and put in the sickening hard work without making excuses and never giving up so that one-day they could achieve their dream. If they can do it then so can anyone, people just have to believe in their limitless capabilities and put in the work. I am not claiming the unfortunate to be lazy or anything because I have never experienced such hardship. All I am saying is that it is possible to overcome it and it has been done before.

Bernie Sanders has wonderful intentions for America, I just believe that forced economic equality would defeat the purpose of America, which is the ability to have all kinds of limitless opportunity if you are willing to do the work. I support his strive to help those in financial problems, however, it needs to be paid for without making successful people suffer from their hard earned money. They are there for a reason; doesn’t it ruin their freedom and equality in a way, making them pay more than everyone else? It sounds reasonable that they should pay more because they earn more, but I feel as if everyone is equal in America no matter what position.

In Conclusion, this was an incredible blog and I enjoyed reading it as my ideas and interest began to flow. Keep it up!
