Essay, Research Paper: Abortion...Both Sides

The Issue of Abortion
Abortion should be legal because it is the natural right of the parents. Rape, inability to provide good living conditions, incest are all legitimate reasons for an abortion. After three months of being pregnant you should have decided already if you are ready to take on the responsibility of a child. By the third month they are beginning to develop fingers and toes, and are almost ready to respond to outside stimulation. Up until that point I feel that it should be legal. If every child that was conceived were brought into this world, there would be no happy children, because all of them would be starving. Natural selection is not taking place with all of the technology that we have, so we must prevent at least some of the births. If the choice is to have an abortion and five years later have a child that will grow up with a father, in a nice neighborhood, with food in the kitchen. I feel that the mother should have every right to prevent another starving and unhappy child from being brought into this world.
Abortion can also be considered a crime. There are people who believe that since there are preventative measures that can be taken that every baby should be born. Abortion shouldn’t have to take place even if it was a rape because it was the mother’s fault for being where she was at that time, and that it wasn’t the baby’s fault. If you are having conceptual sex, you should be on a form of birth control other than just condoms to prevent any mishaps. Since an unwanted pregnancy is avoidable, every child should be brought into this world; even they must be put t up for adoption.

ok...i like how you looked at this from both sides, but you must see how you are very mistaken on the first part of your essay. there is always going to be starvation, there are always going to be homes where the child would be better off dead, there will always be rapes, and there will always be unhappy kids (hell, look at the fits those sweet sixteen girls throw on MTV). What we need to see in all this is that no matter what, all of these things will exists and that abortion will not affect them either way. Raped girls will not be un-raped by killing off the best thing that could have come from her horrid situation. Starvation in thrid world countries, as well as the U.S. will still exist with killing off the "unwanted". Child abuse and neglect will not vanish with the murder of babies. All of these horrible things we feel abortion would rid of would still exist, and still does exist seeing that abortion is legal. What we must see is that whether three days or three months into pregnancy, that thing in your belly is still human in the making. it will not, not be human. therefore any abortion is the murder of a human, or a potential human. people seem to mistake the fetus of a baby for something other than human. face it folks, murder is murder, is abortion, and there's no way around it.
