Abortion

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that abortion is morally wrong because it not only takes the life of another human being but also the very notion of it degrades humanity in a way that desensitizes society to the value of life. The author stresses that abortion is not an issue of the mother's rights; it is an issue of a child's life. The paper argues that most women do not choose abortion for any reason other than their own selfishness; the argument that prohibiting abortion violates the Fourth and the Fourteenth amendments is really just a legal way to cover up the fact that people are actually taking part in premeditated murder.

From the Paper:

"It has always amazed me that the question of when life begins is such a controversial matter that it is. Pro-choice individuals will argue that the fetus is a viable mass that cannot survive on its own. There are many human beings surviving out a uterus that fall into this category. Many of them have been disabled for one reason or another and they are unable to function on their own and need the assistance of someone else. If we were to follow the abortion argument in this same logical pattern, then it would be okay to end the lives of these individuals because they cannot fend for themselves."
