ABORTION


Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by a medical procedure. This topic is very controversial because a lot of people are against abortion. Catholic people or in general, people that believe in God are opposed to abortion. They believe that life is sacred and inviolable. The majority of religious people believe that a new human life begins as soon as the egg has been fertilized and any interruption of pregnancy is a sin. Abortion is against God’s laws. I am a catholic and I believe in God and life, but I agree that they are some circumstances in which a woman should have the right to choose about her own pregnancy.
For me, circumstances or reasons in which abortion should be acceptable are: when a baby has any genetic malformation or in a case of sexual abuse. I am a pro-life person and I don’t think that interruption of pregnancy on time is a destruction of life. I know people that even though they knew their babies will have a genetic malformation they choose to finish the pregnancy. They take the challenge to take care of their children with special needs, and some of them have done a wonderful job.

In my opinion, this may sound cruel but I do not want to bring children with a genetic malformation into the world because they would suffer from many medical problems. They will also always need someone to take care of them permanently. They would stay in/out of the hospital, and they are controlled with a lot of medicines that cause sleepiness. I don’t think that it is a life for those children. What is going to happen when that child does not have his/her parents? Is there someone to take care of those children as their parents did? Tell me what you think about abortion.

  1. I am pro-life also. I don't know that I would have ever gotten an abortion but I do believe that people should be able to make the decision themselves. I do believe that abortions shouldn't be used as a form of birth control. Unfortunately, I have known a couple of people that do that. As I have said before who are we to judge other people?

  2. I am totally pro-life. I am against abortion even in cases of sexual abuse, genetic malformations, etc. In my opinion, the baby should not be made to suffer just because one of the parents made a mistake. There are many people out there who cannot have children of their own who would love nothing more than to be given the opportunity to adopt that child and love and care for him/her as if they were their own. For those who choose to use abortion as birth control, I personally feel they should be required to be sterilized. Just my opinion.
