It may be YOUR choice – but is it your baby’s?
Do you consider anything with a heart beat a living creature? “By the fifth week
of a pregnancy a baby’s heart begins to form and starts beating” (Fetal Development). In
all cases having an abortion would be considered murder. How can we as a society
sanction the murdering of developing babies? In the womb, from the moment of
conception, a baby is fully dependent on their mother. When a mother makes the choice
to end a baby’s life, then it is considered abortion. The thought of having an abortion is
morally unethical; it is almost always the reason for unplanned pregnancies and having
an abortion is usually used as “a way out”.
