Evolution Vs Creationism

Abortion has a big place in the controversial world, with a variety of beliefs of when, if at all, is acceptable. The United States has the highest rate of unwanted pregnancies, therefore causing the wanted abortion rates to rise. Abortion was legalized in 1968 at the Roe vs. Wade trial. However, people are still fighting to ban it.

Both groups agree that a newborn baby is a person and deserves protection. However, opinions start to differentiate when the question of when a human comes into existence. It could be from the moment of conception anywhere to the moment is it born.

Most highly religious groups believe that it is not right to have this done, mainly for moral reasons. They think that life begins at conception and that as soon as it is an embryo, it considered a human being, protected by God. In other words, it is a human just like the rest of us and deserves life. It is safe to say that they consider it as murder. Also, that if health issues are concerned, it is better for the woman and the fetus to die rather than to save the woman’s life by stopping her pregnancy. Others believe that the choice of abortion has its exceptions, such as rape, incest, or harming the woman’s physical health.

For the most part, pro-abortionists think that life begins at the later stages of pregnancy, like when the fetus loses its tail and begins to look like a mammal or when it can live outside the mother’s womb. Many think that only abortions that are done very early are acceptable. Others even go as far as saying that abortions are okay up until the fetus is born.
