Why abortion should not be legalized
By RedForceRising.
The question of the subject matter is whether the act of aborting a child should be deemed legal, in other words acceptable in the eyes of the law that govern a society.
Against all arguments for it and so-called conventional wisdom, my answer is a resounding NO.
The fact is that as soon as the baby is conceived, it is already a life form. Aborting this life form at any stage is akin to murder. Whether the life form was conceived out of love or rape is of little consequence. It is already a life form and aborting it is murdering a life.
The assertion that a teenage girl is not physically or emotionally ready to be a parent is laughable.
Mother nature has created women to be able to bear the physical and emotional burdens of motherhood. I have two friends, who became mothers when they were teenagers and both are doing fine.
It is imperative that we must recognize that society must play it's part to form support systems for single mothers, but that does not mean that the lack of such systems warrant the murder of life.
Europeans enjoy a relaxed view of single parent hood and offer a better support structure for single mothers than say Americans or Asians, but that does not mean that because a woman is going to have a hard time, she has the right to murder the life that she carries.
She has no divine right to do so.
If mother nature intended for her to have this right, women would be able to abort without intruding into the body. If mother nature wanted the women to have the right to control her body in such a manner, then women would probably just be able to think about it and it would be done.
But this is not the case and that is why women do NOT have this right in the eyes of nature to abort the life they carry.
On the point of illegal abortions, the problem would be avoided if society created support structures AND worldviews that will allow women to seek help.
We should not change our laws to legalize murder. We should - as a society - give women hope and help.
Women seek illegal abortions out of hopelessness and helplessness. They fear being shunned by and the burden of rearing the child, so society should change it stance. It should be OK for a woman to be unmarried and pregnant. Society should not chastise these women, but help them.
Even if a woman becomes pregnant through rape, if the support structures are there, she can bear the child and later give it up for adoption.
That a woman should conceive through an act of violence is highly regrettable, but does that condone another act of violence by terminating the unborn life in the woman?
I think not.
In addition, we have no way of knowing what potential resides within this child and how he or she will fit into the greater schemes of life.
Good or bad, the child is a life that has the potential to contribute to society and history. We have no right to interfere in the natural course of life.
How many brilliant minds have been incinerated in furnaces?
At a time when many countries are experiencing birth deficits, surely willing and able foster parents can be found to take care of any unwanted children.
The solution is not to change laws to legalize murder.
Say what you will, but abortion is the elimination of life, otherwise known as murder, and should therefor not be legal.
