CAMUS’ REVOLT ON ABORTION
By: Mark Alexis Gaspar
One if not the most horrifying topic of humanity since then is the topic of murder. Every now and then, there is a wide range of news concerning death. Either somebody watches news from the television or just simply listens from a radio. Whether one kills someone, doing the act of suicide (killing oneself), or somebody meeting an accident is still an alarming incident. What makes murder a frightening act is that death is the shadow of every murder. Whenever there is murder death, follows. This irrevocable reality called death is the one concerned with making the act of killing fear-provoking.
But for some instances killing and dying is a favorable act. It becomes a favorable act for someone who runs away from the absurdity of living. One kills for one’s security, self-preservation, or just simply having the assumption that when a problem that causes anxiety will be remove everything will be just fine and things will make sense again.
In our age today, one of the acts in line with murder is the act of abortion. This abortion is the activity of getting the fetus out from the mother’s womb. Someone who does not see abortion as evil assumes that fetus is not yet human. And “since no person will ever exist who will suffer for having never been born, destroying (it) before it becomes a person capable of valuing her life does not constitute any moral wrong,” this is a common alibi from a pro-abortion person. In the other hand, for someone who looks at it as an act of evil, it is an act of murder having the notion that the fetus is indeed a human. Any potential mother can commit abortion, and it is now a prominent act. Abortion is not just done by married potential mothers but even high school and even college students are dominant costumers of this act called abortion.
Often, communities, groups, persons, and anyone who hates abortion blames just the mother. It is assume that the particular act of abortion is
