Essay / Abortion Should Be Illegal - 359
Abortion Should Be IllegalThe words of an unborn baby are the ones that almost no one thinks or hears. Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in this country. However, if we consider the violation of the Constitution against women by the restriction of abortion; the torment inflicted on the unwanted child; and the anguish that society must endure, then this subject would not be so debatable. Too many people do not see the effects that abortions cause. This is a very dangerous crime that affects the mother, the father, the community and, above all, the fetus. This is why abortion should be illegal in Canada. First, abortion is against God's law in many holy books such as the Bible and the Quran. Second, abortion not only affects the individual, but the community as a whole, and the rights of these people are violated. However, abortion does nothing in cases of rape, nor in women's rights, a constant argument of abortion supporters. And finally, abortion must be seen for what it is, murder. What gives us the right to decide who should live and who should die? It is God's decision. The fetus, the innocent human life whose only protection in the world is its mother's womb, can no longer feel protected because even its own mother could have it murdered. Yet this baby did nothing to deserve to have his life taken away from him so suddenly. How can a little baby capable of feeling, breathing and moving be condemned to die without ever saying or doing anything wrong? In our constitution, we all have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Why doesn't a baby also have these rights??
