An essay I wrote on abortion, highlighting quickly the arguments for legalization.

Abortion arguments.

Abortion is an incendiary issue in the United States, and with the murder of abortion doctor George Tiller by a disgruntled protester, it has again been thrust into public discourse. I will discuss my opinion on abortion, and I invite you share yours.

Hopefully this one will open people’s eyes to the atrocity abortion really is!

It really seems to me that most of the individuals who are anti-abortion, really could care less about whether its safe, but they care more about whether it is moral.

If killing a person is punishable by the death penalty, why is it legal to abort a baby? Who gives you the right to decide which babies get to live and which don’t? When you have an abortion, you’re hurting yourself more than anyone else – including the unborn child.

Has anyone tried to scare you off eating eggs by telling you they are a chicken’s abortion? I have heard this, and that they are her “period” or that you are eating a fetus. Learn the truth before you spread lies.

When a fetus should be considered a human in the full moral sense.

The one and only way abortion cannot be considered a crime is when the life of a mother is endangered by the dying fetus in her womb. This is known as critical abortion. Other than that, abortion is a crime, murder, and a sin.

As a firm believer that pregnancy begins at conception, I deem abortion wrong.
