Prolife

A detailed Summary of Prolife

I. A debate is going on in our country today that is more debatable than any other of which I know. It is the issue of abortion. There are many positions regarding this procedure, its morality, and the circumstances and way in which it should be performed.

A. Some say that every woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy at any time for any reason because an unwanted pregnancy is an "invasion of the woman's rights"

1. These people believe that this "useful" life must be distinguished from other forms of life, such as the unborn fetus. Some today may still hold to the clearly wrong position that a fetus cannot be considered living. This has been very proved to be false, for fetuses have been born very prematurely and still survived.

2. The only things necessary for a fetus to become an adult are the same things needed for a newborn baby to become an adult, things such as food, warmth, protection, and time.

Others would no doubt have there own ideas about what constitutes "useful" life. It is the position of any religious person that all life is in God's image and is therefore useful.

II. The termination of the life of a fetus is the same as the termination of the life of a newborn baby.

III. Some people believe that abortion is wrong, but they do not believe that it should be made illegal.

1. When one begins to distinguish between "useful" and "useless" or "not as useful" life, an obvious question presents itself: who is to determine what is useful and what is not? Hitler, when he took control of the German government, eliminated much of what he considered useless life, which included the aged, the handicapped, and certain races.
