Abortion should be illegal because in our country, The United States of America one human is not allowed to harm or take the life of another without consequences, Abortion is no different. Abortion is murder. Abortion is punishing the life of an unborn child who has committed no crime. The mother is the one who should be punished. Nationwide 42 million abortions are performed per year. This is 42 million innocent children who never had a chance at life. Killing the life of an innocent child is not the only alternative. Adoption is a wonderful alternative. With adoption you are not only giving life to a child but you are also giving a family the opportunity to care for this child. Many couples have complications with conceiving a child and often turn to adoption as their alternative. With 1.5 million American families wanting to adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child. With choosing adoption this will give women the mindset of knowing they did the right thing. Leaving no room for regrets. 52% of women under the age of 25 are guilty of having an abortion. Young women getting an abortion do not have enough life experience to fully understand what they are doing. This ends in the result of long life regret. Abortion often causes intense psychological pain and stress. Those at such a young age are too naïve to see that abortion is not a contraceptive. Women need to take responsibility for their actions and not getting rid of their problems. It is simply ending the life of an innocent child for their own Irresponsibility. The child is not the one who should be punished. Not only will choosing abortion lead to psychological pain but it also can increase ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage and pelvic inflammatory disease. Abortion is morally wrong in every way. Weather you believe in God or not you are taking away the only chance of life on earth that child had. It is murder. Approximately 69% of women who have had an abortion claim to be religious. Genesis 9:6 states that we are made in God's image and therefore our lives are precious and whoever takes the life of another human being, forfeits the right to his own life. What makes a humans life more valuable than the life of a fetus? Within 72 hours the fetus has already developed a heartbeat. This fetus is no less of a human than you are. Abortion corrupts the mind to think that just because the child has not taken a breath of air that its life serves no purpose. Abortion should not be legal and those choosing abortion and performing it should be punished for murder. The life of an unborn child is just as worthy of life as we are. Some may argue that some pregnancies need to be terminated due to the safety of the mother’s life. Statistics show only .02% of women get abortions for life threatening reasons. Millions of abortions are gender related. Millions of baby girls do not get the chance at life due to a son preference. How could this be justified? Abortion is nothing but a selfish and irresponsible decision.
