I. A debate is going on in our country today that is more debatable than any other of which I know. It is the issue of abortion. There are many positions regarding this procedure, its morality, and the circumstances and way in which it should be performed. A. Some say that every woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy at any time for any reason because an unwanted pregnancy is an "invasion of the woman's rights" 1. These people believe that this "useful" life must be distinguished from other forms of life, such as the unborn fetus. Some today may still hold to the clearly wrong position that a fetus cannot be considered living. This has been very proved to be false, for fetuses have been born very prematurely and still survived. 2. The only things necessary for a fetus to become an adult are the same things needed for a newborn baby to become an adult, things such as food, warmth, protection, and time. B. Then, there are those that are opposed to abortion. Even this position is split into different views. Some say that abortions can be performed in cases of rape, incest, or endangerment of the mother's life. Others say that abortions should not be performed unless the
Some people believe that abortion is wrong, but they do not believe that it should be made illegal. If we accept these basic assumptions, then it should be clear why there should be no exception of abortion in cases of rape or incest. Liberal thought today is that it is the duty of government to protect only "useful" life. Others would no doubt have there own ideas about what constitutes "useful" life. Since an unborn child is a perfect example of innocent life, it follows that law should protect it. Can you, in good conscious, and after having read the words, "Thou shalt not kill," and, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them," believe that ending the life of a human being before that being has even left its mother's womb could ever be acceptable? . That is, I believe other medical options should be explored before the "solution" of abortion is chosen. The case of the life of the mother being in danger is a different matter. The situation where the mother will die if the baby were delivered is very rare. Limited knowledge of childbirth leads me to believe that there is only one condition where the mother's life is truly in danger from a to term pregnancy: that is when the developing fetus grows in the tube, before getting to the womb.
