How would someone feel if someone took away their ability to live? Imagine not having any say in whether or not they want to be alive. Babies don't have a choice when they are in their mother's womb! Abortion is one of the most common problems facing our society today. “Approximately one in four people do not live because of an abortion. More than 1.3 million abortions are performed each year in the United States and 43 million worldwide” (Abortion Medical Facts)! Some people state that they think abortions are acceptable in certain circumstances, such as if the baby kills the mother during childbirth or if the woman is raped. But in reality, less than 1% of abortions are performed to save the mother and because of rape. The researchers said that if the woman has been pregnant for about 8 weeks or more, the baby who is aborted may feel the pain. While “88.7% of all abortions take place before the twelfth week of pregnancy” (Operation Rescue). Abortion is wrong because life begins at conception, so killing it, there are better options, and it can lead to serious medical complications later in life. Above all, abortion is murder for the most vulnerable being in the world. An abortion is tantamount to depriving a human of their ability to live, which is immoral. Professor Paul Campos of the University of Colorado explains it by saying that "whether or not abortion should be legal depends on whether and when a fetus is a person..." A fetus becomes a person from conception. The late President Ronald Reagan wrote while in office: “The real question today is not when human life begins, but what is the value of human life? The real question is whether the fetus has the right to be protected by the law.” Some people don't believe the middle of paper...." Abortion Facts. Np, nd Web. February 25, 2014.
