Persuasive Letter- Abortion

Dear Senator ,

There are many issues in this country today. I would like to bring up the subject of abortion. In my opinion, having a child aborted before it was born is murder. In other words, the baby is killed. This should not be happening, this is not American to kill others, and deny people the right to live.

Abortion is not right; taking away someone’s right to live is wrong. My only exception to this horrible thing is if it was a case of rape. Even in the case of rape only about less than 1% of abortion cases are rapes. Many people don’t know that 52% of women obtaining abortion are at the age of 25 or younger and 64% of all abortions are preformed on never married women.

Three weeks after fertilization the eyes and spinal cord are visible and the developing brain has two lobes. Four weeks after fertilization the heart is beating and a circulatory system is in place. The portion of the brain associated with consciousness and internal organs such as the lungs are beginning to develop and can be identified. Seven weeks after fertilization muscles and nerves begin working together. Nine weeks after fertilization more than 90% of the body structures found in a full-grown human are present. At this point, the baby is already there, the baby is not a living creature, as soon as the egg fertilizes a human being is already forming.

Not many people today, know the risks of getting an abortion. Side effects may occur with abortion, whether surgical or by pill. These include abdominal pain and cramping, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Abortion also carries the risk of significant complications such as bleeding, infection, and damage to organs and in extreme cases death. Serious complications occur in less than 1 out of 100 early abortions and in about 1 out of every 50 later abortions.

There are alternate routes instead abortion if you do not wish to carry a baby after it was born. More

    Foetal development- human life begins with conception. If sexual intercourse takes place while the egg is in the fallopian tube, there is a possibility of conception. Just one sperm may fertilise the egg. Fertilisation means that the genetic material in the egg to start a new life. Pregnancy then begins when a sperm penetrates an egg. One to one and a half days later, the single fertilised egg cell begins to divide. After two or three days there are enough new cells to make the fertilised egg the size of a pin head. This collection of cells travels to the lining of the uterus where is becomes anchored. The developing collection of cells is now called an embryo. After eight weeks, the embryo may have grown to between 3 and 4cm, has a recognisable heartbeat and the beginnings of eyes, ears, a mouth, legs and arms. At this stage the growing organism is called a foetus. During the remaining seven months before birth, the organs continue to develop. By 20 weeks, the foetus will have reached about half the length of the baby at birth. By 32 weeks, the foetus will be about half its birth weight.…

    First and foremost, not all the laws of late-term abortion mimic one another throughout each state. Late-term is considered anything after 140 days. In Indiana, the late-term abortion is anything after twenty-four weeks (“Women’s Med”). Late-term abortion is a two to three day process because the baby is so developed. Day one of a late-term abortion procedure is when the surgeon injects digoxin into the mom's abdomen and straight into the baby's head, heart or torso to cause the baby to go into a fatal cardiac arrest. When the digoxin is injected, the baby's life should end. The surgeon then inserts laminaria sticks into the woman's vaginal area to open up the cervix to deliver the baby. It will take two-three days for the cervix to open up.…

    Abortion is murder of an innocent life, and it is completely wrong in every way. There is no justification that could cover the fact that we are murdering our most defenseless human beings, and if anything we should be doing everything to protect them and keep them safe from danger, but yet some are doing the complete opposite. Abortion should never be an option, and one should never feel like abortion is the only choice because it is not the only choice. One must understand that abortion is not just, and people must come to their senses and realize the true outcomes of aborting a…

    Picture this: a fourteen-year-old girl is abducted and raped. After visiting a doctor, they inform her that she is pregnant. This girl is only fourteen years old. She is put into a situation that was definitely not her fault, but will become her burden. The young girl would have to care for that baby her entire life. Of course, if she were able to receive an abortion, there would be much less pain involved. Rape victims, as well as women who find themselves unable or unfit to raise a child, should have the right to an abortion.…
