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.
