Abortion Should Be Illegal

Abortion is a clear and straightforward killing and should be made illegal. If a female feels conscientious enough to have sex, she has to be conscientious enough to handle the consequences; regardless of what the circumstances might be. The fourteenth amendment claims that no state shall take away any person's life, freedom, or possessions, without a fair motive and just assessment. The question often asked is whether a child in the mother's womb is considered a person already. A person is defined as a live human being. A live person could mean someone with a heartbeat or it could mean a human that breathes on its own. Since the majority of abortions are made when a child already has a heartbeat; this action is definitely considered murder of a person.

Pro-life followers use the United States constitution to struggle against abortion, saying that it evidently claims that no one can murder anyone else without due process. The reason is: we have to follow all of the other amendments, but why do we not completely follow the fourteenth one? The unborn child definitely has a constitutional right to life unless due process of the legislation is put into action.

Abortions are getting more and more often used as a method of birth control. They are being placed in the same category as the Depo-Provera shot and the birth control pill. Until abortions are authorized and so accessible, people will not consider unsafe sex practices as serious as they ought to. Females may approve unprotected sex for the reason that if she becomes pregnant then she could at any time just get an abortion. Abortion seems like and uncomplicated way out of an extremely complex problem. If abortion remains legalized it will develop into a choice of ethics or the latest method of birth control (Wennberg 9)

The explanation of how legalized abortion damages public health is yet one more argument to make abortion illegal. The thing is that abortion is a very complex procedure that can injure a females body, disabling her from ever having any children in the future. Hemorrhaging and lacerations of the cervix are among the most serious complications (Stallworthy, 1971) More research carried out by Walsh, McCarthy, and Cromer show that complications took place during 1,182 recorded abortions. Even though there were no fatalities, 9.5% of the patients needed blood transfusions, 1.2% of the patients were perforated, and 4.2 % had cervical lacerations. Moreover, post-abortion viruses appeared in 27% of these females. The direct connection between pre-mature birth and female's experience of abortion has been discovered through research (Stallworthy, 1971)

Abortion cannot be only the female's decision. Women have only one-third of the role in having a child. There is also the man's and the role of the new life, which would be questioned under current legislation. Abortion followers argue that a fetus is not a person at all, a position that represents lack of ethical nature (Wennberg 57). The growing fetus is an independent life form that has its personal rights not considering apart from the woman's. Women who have had an abortion have
