Anti-Abortion

First and foremost, the idea of abortion is morally wrong because it involves taking the life of an innocent fetus. Human life begins at conception, so the idea that a fetus is not actually a living thing is false. It is a separate living thing other than it's own mother which makes the fetus an innocent human being. Taxpayers are also paying for these procedures through Medicaid whether even if they think it is immoral and unethical. In other words you could be paying for other people's mistakes. Every year, abortion acts as a genocide. It's the same as thousands of any other person dying. It is still one less human life. There is no telling what impact on society an aborted child would have had. They could have been a very influential person on society. Abortion is a type of method to control populations in underdeveloped countries. After hearing that, it is impossible to think of abortion as an ethical procedure. Abortion can also lead to further medical complications later on down the road resulting in the woman not being able to conceive. The actual abortion is also very harmful to the mother's body as well. After an abortion, there is also an increased chance that the woman will experience miscarriages, still births, and premature births in the future.

Abortion

Abortion is a very controversial subject. It seems that people lean to one extreme or another on this particular topic. There are not many who are inbetween when it comes to abortion. I feel very strongly against abortion and have very little tolerance for it. When it comes down to it, you are killing a human being. Whether it's a 3 month old unborn fetus or a 60 year old retired man, a human being is a human being. I find it very unethical to take the life of an unborn fetus just to make someone's life a little easier with fewer worries. Going through the process of abortion is very harmful to the woman's body and it is a very unpleasant experience. It involves going in and physically harming the fetus to the point of death and ending a human's life. Sacrificing a fetus's life to make the mother's life more "carefree" seems extremely unfair.
