Did you know that at the moment of conception, a babies' gender is determined? What about the brain, spinal chord, hair, and skin, did you know that these things are developed within the first four weeks after conception?
Forty-two million babies’ are aborted every year around the world, the U.S. makes up 1.37 million of that forty-two million. This makes for 3,700 abortions per day in the United States of America. One percent of these occur because of rape or incest, six percent occur because of potential health problems for the child or mother, and ninety-three percent occur for just not wanting the child.
Where do you stand on abortion? There have been many debates on whether abortion is murder or not. Many people don’t believe it’s murder because it’s still in the womb and not “alive” yet. But what people fail to realize is that at the moment of conception, a body is formed, and by three weeks, apart from the other organs already formed, there is a heartbeat. The little body inside the womb is called a “fetus”. This word is such an understatement when talking about a child in a females stomach. What people call a “fetus” is an actual body, a body in the shape of a baby.
By week eight of a pregnancy, the bones begin to form, as well as the tongue, toes, and fingers. At eleven weeks, breathing is now apart of life and so is swallowing, and will be until birth. When week twenty-four comes around, the taste buds have formed, the lungs are developing branches, and the child is about 11.8 inches long.
A man guilty of murder can be given the death penalty for taking the life of another. (This example does not reflect my views on the death penalty, its strictly an instance concerning murder.) How is it any different for a mother that has had an abortion or a doctor who has performed an abortion? It’s not any different, but it’s still argued that the baby isn’t even living therefore it’s not murder. Bottom line, what is there will eventually grow into something more, and even if it wasn’t life, it eventually would become life.
No matter how early an abortion is performed, it is murder. I say this because at the time of conception, when the sperm fertilizes the eggs, something is formed, and that something is a body of some type. That body is connected to the mother in some way, shape, or form. It’s life is being sustained by the mother’s body.
Babies’ can also feel abortions. When a doctor turns off the ventilator to someone dying, the body doesn’t automatically go limp, it continues to move and moves in rapid motions until the heart stops beating. Therefore, an aborted child does the same thing, just not such rapid movements because it is so little, from this it can be concluded that the child suffers throughout this process because of selfish decisions made.
There are alternatives to have an abortion. One is adoption. There are many families who would like to have a child but can’t, and would be willing to pay any price to have one.
Abortion is murder, that’s the million dollar phrase. You are killing something that would eventually become what you are today. People think they know better than God, therefore they take it upon themselves to kill the living organism in them and don’t think twice about. Although abortion is wrong, God’s glory can still be shown through it as it has in the past, but this is not what God intended for us to do to His little children He created. HIS little children, I would like to elaborate that He put us all here and when a child is born, it is another He has created in His own image.
The only difference between you and a fetus, is that you’re thinking about your future, and the baby (fetus) hasn’t a clue what it’s future might hold.
These days it’s cool to have sex while in high school. There are many girls you would find that are on birth control, as well as many guys with condoms in their pockets. You will even find a few girls that are pregnant.
Some people will tell you nowadays that they want an abortion for one of the following reasons: I was raped, I might die, the baby might be disfigured, or I don’t want to raise a child right now. There are woman raped everyday, and my sympathies go out to them. But to those who will say they don’t want the child that was conceived, i will say how could you do this to a child. I have never been put in this predicament so i can’t say “i know how it feels” but you have life inside of you apart from your own, and you would kill an innocent child because someone has hurt you? You would be doing something just as bad by killing the child.
Some would want an abortion because of potential health issues that would occur at birth. If you are a true Christian and you love Christ, you will die and give your life for another just as Christ did for you.
Some don’t want to have a “deformed” child. Whose to say it’s deformed? You, the doctor, the world? In God’s eyes it’s a beautiful child, “God saw all He had made and it was very good”.
This is the most selfish reason of all, “i don’t want to raise a child right now”. Apart from rape, it was your choice to have sex and your choice not to use protection. (My views on protection are not reflected on this paragraph.)
We should all abstain from sex until marriage, which is a God-given law. God commands us to be fruitful and multiply (when we get married of course). There are many views on birth control, and the way I see it, God knows how many children He wants you to have. There are many birth controls that can have abortive properties, they also can cause breast cancer. If you don’t feel called to have children but feel that you will in the future, then abstaining from some sexual relations may be in order, or use of other protection, (condoms). Some people believe that you should abstain until you are 100% sure you want children, then have that intimate activity that God intended between a man and a woman, but that is an ongoing argument that will never be agreed upon.
Abortion can be performed at any stages, but some states make it illegal after a certain point of the babies’ life. Imagine a baby at 24 months being aborted. A practically fully formed infant, being killed.
What about a partial birth abortion? Ever heard of one of those? This is when the child is birthed all except for the head and the doctors sticks a tube in the skull to suck the brain out.
It’s hard to think how someone would consider abortion. Images really are worth a thousand words. In this case, a thousand words of sadness when you see actual pictures of victims of abortion. The baby had hair, it was the size of a premie child, if not, bigger.
The doctor is just as guilty as the mother who wanted the abortion. I recently watched a short video clip of an actual abortion, it was really short and made it look simple and harmless, but I just about fainted when the doctor rolled the baby up in a towel and just threw it away. Surely, the doctor felt the heartbeat before disconnecting the child from it’s mom.
It’s interesting how our parents allowed us to live by not aborting us, yet we take it upon ourselves to kill children who are in a predicament we were in also. It must be the cool thing to do. I mean, it’s just a fetus, it can never talk right? WRONG! It’s a person that needs food, and water, and oxygen just like you.
Having an abortion is just as bad as going up to someone on the street and holding gun to their head and pulling the trigger and a bullet coming out. Not to mention that the 10 commandments state not to murder. Therefore it is a sin. Sin is sin and all sin is forgivable, but you will be judged for it.
Have you ever even seen an abortion? I don’t think you can be set on reasoning that it isn’t really a child unless you’ve actually seen an abortion.
Abortion is a topic I speak very strongly on and always will. Children are a gift from God and when a child is conceived, even though it wasn’t of your plans, it’s in God’s plans and no one will ever interfere in His plans.
