Personal Consequences of Abortion

 

            As Pope John Paul II wrote, "All human life from the moment of conception and through all subsequent stages is sacred, because human life is created in the image and likeness of God. Nothing surpasses the greatness or dignity of a human person. If a person's right to life is violated at the moment in which he is first conceived in his mother's womb, an indirect blow is struck also at the whole moral order." This means that human life is created like a picture of God and that nothing can pass the greatness of being worthy of a human. If a person's right is violated when it is born and conceived through his/her mother it can't be bypassed through a legislative order. Murderers and people who kill their babies are one in the same. Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another. Imagine if your parent killed you? The issue of abortion affects babies, parents, citizens, doctors, population, and states. Abortion is a killing of a baby before birth. Some people support the right of abortion, while others do not support the cause of legal abortion. In 1973, the Roe v. Wade case legislative order declared not allowing women to have an abortion, a violation of a woman's privacy rights. This made abortion legal throughout the United States. Since then, over fifty million unborn babies have died from abortion. Abortion should be banned because it violates unalienable rights, and is a taking of a human life. This claim is supported by the principal of due process. .
             While I cannot say when life does begin, I can point out the science demonstrating the similarities between a so called "fetus" and a "human." Firstly, during the end of the first month the heart, digestive system, backbone and spinal cord begin to form. The embryo is .25 of an inch long. Secondly, at the end of the second month the heart of the fetus begins to beat. The eyes, nose, lips, tongue, ears, and teeth are forming.
