Women have abortions for many reasons. They include: unwed or teenage pregnancies, pregnancies due to rape or incest, fetal deformities and inconvenience. Abortion is the worst type of violence and an extreme act of terrorism; because, it terrorizes and kills, innocent and helpless human beings. It is also the worst crime a human being can commit, because, in this act a mother, who is supposed to protect and nurture her baby, gets her own innocent baby killed. It therefore, brings perpetual unrest to the people who have it and the society that permits it. Some people justify abortion, because, they feel that a fetus is not a human being. However, irrespective of the different arguments people have, for or against, to prove that fetuses or human embryos are human beings; no one can deny the fact that abortion is destruction of a genetically distinct human life. In addition, since a large number of people feel that a fetus or an embryo is a human being, it is our duty to protect them (even if we do not consider them as human beings), because, if others are correct, then, destroying a fetus or embryo is murder. If a group of people went hunting, and half of them see an animal in the distant and want to shoot it, but the other half think it is a human being, the benefit of the doubt has to be in favor of it being a human being. The same logic also applies to abortion. Some people realize that abortion is wrong; however, they do not want to force their belief on others. However, protecting the life of innocent human beings is our civic duty, and has nothing to do with our belief. We have laws against murder, although it is a religious belief that murder is wrong. In this case we don’t say that we are imposing our belief on others. Others argue that a woman has a right to choose to not have a baby. However, when a woman becomes pregnant, she already has the baby; therefore, the question about her right with respect to that pregnancy is not an issue. Some people justify abortion, because, the mother's health or life is in danger. However, since every human life is equally precious, one cannot take the life of one human being to save another. Therefore, every effort has to be made to treat both human beings with the best available methods. Still others feel that women should have the right to their own bodies. However, a fetus is not part of its mother’s body, because, it is a distinct living human entity with its own unique genetic make up that is different from the mother’s. We do not have right to kill our children who live in the privacy of our house. Similarly, the mother does not have a right to kill her baby that lives in the privacy of her body. Still others argue that, by legalizing abortion, abortion is made safe for the mother. We, however, do not legalize other violent crimes in order prevent injury to the criminal or innocent bystanders.

Now to talk about your statement that abortion is murder.



Abortion is considerd murder to protesters of this dispute.

Human Life: This is any living entity that has DNA from the species homo
sapiens.
Murder: The unlawful killing of one human by another.
Since the fetus that is killed durring an abortion is living and has DNA from the species homo sapiens, it is a human and has human life.
Once life is taken away, the fetus is dead.
This is killing one human by another.
However, the killing of the one human by the other must be illegal to be murder.
My conclusion: Abotion is technically not murder.


However, i hope all who have an abortion go to hell.
