abortion
"Abortion," the sound of the word conjures up many horrible images and is, in fact, a controversial and emotional issue. Abortion has been going on all over the world for centuries. In the Encarta World English Dictionary, abortion is defined as "an operation or other intervention to end pregnancy by removing an embryo or fetus from the womb." Due to a number of deaths caused by abortion since 1973, abortion can be considered a holocaust. Abortion has two different viewpoints. One view, known as the pro-life, see abortion as the immoral slaughter of innocent human life. The other view, pro-choice, considers abortion as an option that must be available to women if they are to control their own reproductive lives. These two groups deal with abortion everyday. "Women who want to enter abortion clinics are met by 'sidewalk counselors' who try to persuade them against having an abortion" (Guersney 39). The battle for Abortion Reform began in 1960s, about the same time as the Women's Movement began. Ten years after abortion became legal, efforts by pro-life advocates aroused little response. Perople weren't interested in the dabate. However, during the early 1980s, pro-life groups reshaped their imag
Babies are viewed as gifts from God, not just a lifeless object. Psalm 139 of the Bible is one understanding on the biblical views of human life. It states, "You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb" (Good News Bible 745). This psalm is the record of David's praise for God's control in his life. God creates us so we can enjoy and be thankful for the world he created. God is the One who gives us life, and only He has the right to take it away. God didn't create us to be aborted, he created us for a reason- LIFE.

You can't ignore the agitation that follows- the increased heartbeat and breathing and the rapidly moving limbs of the fetus.

On the other hand, pro-choice believers say a fetus is considered a huma being at birth. n and the mother will give birth to a dead or dying baby. In many other cases, babies were born alive and then left unattended to die. This method was also used in Nazi concentration camps and is now common in America. Hysterotomy or Caeserean Section, is another method of abortion and is used mainly in the last three months of the pregnancy. The womb is entered by surgery through the wall of the abdomen. This technique is similar to the Caeserean delivery, except that the umbilical cord is usually cut while the baby is still in the womb. This cuts off their oxygen supply and causes them to suffocate.
