Abortion

Introduction

The definition of abortion is the termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival. Basically the baby is torn apart limb by limb and vacuumed out of the mother's womb. In the case of partial birth abortion, the baby is turned around and pulled partially out, with their head still in the mother. The abortionist then plunges a sharp object into the back of the baby's neck and then vacuums out the brain.

From heaven to earth to heaven again, from end to end with no beginning. In the definition it says that they perform this procedure on babies who are incapable of survival but yet we abort nearly all of them who are. Abortion has now become a social trend it should be illegal because it is a violent and cruel act that kills the weakest and most defenseless among us, and women will use any excuse to get an abortion. At the most basic level, the abortion issue is not really about abortion it is about the value of women in society.

It all started in the late 1960's when those who were in favor of abortion began to push to legalize abortion; they argued that it would be a rare choice, an option for women in life threatening or other desperate circumstances. Unfortunately, quickly after it was legalized it became anything but rare.

A Social Problem

Each year about 1.5 million babies are aborted; thousands of them are big enough to cradle in your arms. This is almost a third of the babies who are being born during the same time. If you go to our graduation this year consider that a third of our graduating class is missing. And the sad truth in this is that 95% of all abortions are done as a means of birth control. Only 1% of abortions are due to rape/incest, 1% to fetal abnormalities, and 3% due to the mother's health problems. ("The Hard Facts About Abortion In America." Central Illinois Right To Life. 11 April 2002. ) There has been 40 million innocents killed since our Supreme Court, went out and gave us the right to kill our babies. The abortion deaths each year are almost equal to the overall deaths in our country's bloodiest wars combined. The Gulf war, Korean war, Civil war, and Revolutionary war along with World War I and World War II total up to be approximately 1,043,569 (http://www.multied.com/ww2/index.html) deaths. The abortion rate is like having all of these wars in just one year, every year. But of course that is not our main focus in our country.

Year after year we are reintroduced to both slavery and the holocaust in school. We are shocked by the horrors of the holocaust where six million Jewish people were murdered and how, during the time of slavery African Americans were sold like they were slabs of meat at a butcher shop. But yet we learn the same things over and ...
