Abortion: Is It Right?

Abortion: Is it right?

What constitutes a living person: Do you have to be born into this world; are you considered human as a fetus or do we even have the right to say? It is my beliefs that God does and lets things happen for a purpose. Meaning that if you get pregnant then it was Gods will for you to get pregnant. There for does this give you the right to reject Gods plans? I think that people have abortions for several good reasons but none of them give you the right to do it. Some of these are rape victims, young unmarried teenagers, and fetuses known to have mental or physical handicaps.

Rape victims are very touchy subjects with many people, But you need to ask yourself is it the fault of the baby that you are pregnant.

If it were illegal then people would be more cautious and hopefully result in less children getting pregnant. 1.2% of all teens under the age of 15 in Georgia had an abortion in 2007, that’s 492 babies that died because someone decided that it would be easier or more economical to have it killed than take the responsibility of raising the child (Willke, 2006). In no state has there ever been any law giving the right to kill another person to solve a personal, social or economical problem, so what makes this so different for an unborn child.

The next reason that is common for people to have an abortion is, the baby is bound to be mentally or physically handicap. Except by Doctors in Hitler’s Army, has there ever been a certain physical perfection required as a condition necessary for life (Willke, 2006). Life is a precious gift that is given by God, but because
