Abortion: the Role of Contraception and Religious Belief
Abortion ends a pregnancy before the fetus or the unborn child can live independently outside the mother. This issue happens approximately before 24 weeks of pregnancy. This essay considers that an abortion is a crime. Even if it is a fetus, it is still a process of killing someone who deserves to live. It is a painful topic for women and men who find themselves facing the moral dilemma of whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. This decision to have an abortion is extremely personal from individuals to individuals. Women who are about to have an abortion must think before taking certain actions. This includes not just how women feel, but this might affects the future.
Contraception to Prevent Pregnancy
Contraception is the way to prevent pregnancy with the use of devices, sexual practices, drugs and chemicals. It gives them the freedom to have a physical relationship without fear of being pregnant and the right to have a child whenever they want to. Basically, abortion is not a kind of contraception. It is by not starting a life and ending a life. According to Brown abortion is depriving the life of someone from their future. Killing the victims is justifiable as killing an adult on the other hand. If women became pregnant, they should be the one who are responsible for producing a child. They need to know what are the consequences for the actions they made. The unborn baby doesn't have the responsibility of the mistake made by adults. In addition, if they are not prepared for taking care a baby, they should let other people adopt them. Also by legalizing abortion, it promotes a culture wherein human life has little value and can be easily disposed. Abortion gives humans ideas that we can throw away anything that would be a bother to our lives and also that inconviences us rather than going through trials and tribulations. It also normalizes killing fetuses in which people would think abortion does not equate to murder wherein it already violates the human rights of fetuses and embryos.
An Unanswered Question
An ongoing debate on whether countries should legalize or let abortion remain as a crime. It has been considered immoral for many because they believe that those embryos already have a life thus, it is an act of murder. Although people have different beliefs and perspectives in terms of a very relevant topic, some people think that abortion does not equate to murder depending on the situation where it should be legalized by the government in the country. The state and church have been arguing about this topic for quite some time, religious beliefs have affected the legalization of abortion in which the church denies the approval of it.
Conclusion
Some people say that abortion is murder and others object and say it’s just a fetus. The church as the same as religious people believe that abortion is an illegal doing because of its millions of babies die without even being born to see the world how beautiful it is. It also destroys the lives of helpless, innocent children especially in countries where abortion has been legalized.
