Abortion: Destruction or Relief, You Decide

Abortion: Destruction or Relief, you decide

In today's society abortion is getting more notice then ever. After the president banned partial birth abortion controversy arose from all sides of the table and has been since Roe v. Wade. Many women today feel as if they should have the right to chose either to bring life into this world or not. These women feel as if abortion will give them a sense of relief. What many of these pro-choicers don't realize is that abortion causes more destruction then relief.

Mothers who chose to abort their baby don't realize the post abortion destruction aborting has. These Mothers see it as relief from having to give birth to an unwanted child. Yes, if women have an abortion she will not have to bring an unwanted baby into the world, but is it really a relief? Abortion brings along with it many destructive packages. Packages of murder, emotional and psychological effects along with medical problems.

So, Now your thinking Abortion isn't murder, the baby is not even born yet. Well Abortion is murder. An innocent human life is brutally murdered every 22 seconds in the United States. That is a lot of babies being killed every day, and that's just in the United States.

At a senate Judiciary subcommittee in 1981 the hearing was about "When does a human life begin." Appearing at this committee was a group of internationally known geneticists and biologists.

Former abortionist David Brewer M.D says, " My heart callous against the fact that I was a murderer, but that baby lying in a cold bowl educated me to what abortion really is." Dr Brewer along with many other medical doctors who have performed abortion all agree that what they did was murder."

Another former abortionist said, " If you were pinched, grabbed, cut or crushed you would likely try to fight it off and try to escape the pain, this is exactly how a pre-born baby responds to an abortion before getting sucked apart or chemically killed."(After effects of abortion 2) Abortion is definitely with out a doubt murder.

The courts even recognizes that the killing of an unborn baby is murder. In December 2002, Scott Peterson Killed his pregnant wife Laci and unborn son. The jurors in this trial found Scott guilt of first-degree murder of his wife and second-degree murder of his unborn son. It is not only the abortionist and courts that recognize the killing of an innocent unborn child is murder but President Bush has also made it clear that he is against abortion and then acted by banning partial birth abortion.

Murder of an innocent human being is wrong. Murder is a destructive characteristic our society holds. To take the life of an innocent human who has not even been given the chance to live is a terrible thing. We as other human being whose mothers chose to give us life have no right to take another life.

Along with being a murderer, psychological destruction occurs post abortion. The psychological effects result from a traumatic experience. This experience overwhelms a person's normal defense mechanisms. This results in fear, feelings of helplessness or being trapped or a loss of control.

In a study of post abortion patients only eight weeks after their abortion researchers found that 44 percent complained of nervous disorders, 36 percent had experiences sleeping disturbances, 35 percent had regrets about their decisions and 11 percents had been prescribed psychotropic medicine by their family doctor.
