Anti abortion arguments are often based upon the personhood of the developing fetus. Pro-life arguments confer that life begins at conception and pro-choice arguments do not recognize that a fetus is a human being until much later when the child has developed fully. Some do not even acknowledge that the baby is a person until birth takes place and the child is breathing on his or her own. Anti abortion arguments include the terrible atrocities of how the act of killing the unborn is causing terrible suffering. When a criminal is sentenced to the electric chair or by lethal injection, it is because of the little amount of suffering involved. We do not allow our criminals to suffer when they are sentenced to death. Yet, an unborn child goes through terrible suffering before death occurs during the act of abortion. Even in a medical abortion where the mother takes two pills, the child literally starves to death. "Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not" (James 4:2).
The unforgettable act of losing a child is included in anti abortion arguments. The psychological act of aborting one's child affects the woman's psyche and the psyche of other family members. Studies show that women often suffer with depression after losing a child. Repressing one's feelings can lead to serious mental disorders; eating disorders, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, anger problems, substance abuse, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and even suicide are just a few. A female is apt to have more difficulties coping if she believes in the moral implications of abortion. In other words, if she believes in right and wrong and that she has murdered her child.
The physical effects on a woman's body are very persuasive when it comes to anti abortion arguments. Those who have gone through a surgical abortion will have physical problems afterwards. In order to abort the child the surgeon must go in and stretch the cervix. Often this causes tearing and scarring and a weakening of the cervix. This can make it impossible for a woman to carry another child full term, if at all. This is why women who have had abortions often have miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature births. In addition, the procedure can cause damage to a female's uterus, bladder, and other organs. Uterine scarring can lead to complications with future pregnancies. In addition, anti abortion arguments include the likelihood of health risks associated with the termination of a pregnancy. These may include an increased risk of breast cancer, uterine cancer, cervical cancer, and infectious disease.
Moral principles are the real issue with anti abortion arguments. The dividing line for some is between those who believe in God and what the Bible says and those who don't believe what the Bible says. So if abortion is a moral debate then we must decide if having one is right or wrong. This does not always come down to just Christian or non-Christian. There are many other religions and some do not believe that abortion is moral and should only be considered if the woman's life is in jeopardy. So the moral debate affects many types of people differing in religions, race, color, and culture.
We can't talk about anti abortion arguments and not include women's liberation. Those who favor the women's liberation movement view abortion as a social issue where women should have the right to decide what to do with their own bodies. If a woman does not want to get pregnant then she should take all precautions to prevent it from happening in the first place. Abstinence works the best but if that is not feasible then there are numerous methods of birth control to choose from. A female should exercise the right to choose by making the decision to choose not becoming pregnant in the first place. That should be the first choice but if pregnancy should occur anyway despite all efforts to avoid it then do not make the child suffer because it happened. A woman's right to choose not only hurts the child one is carrying but family members will suffer too. The father of the child should have a voice. There are some fathers that will not want the responsibility of raising a child but their morale compass may lead to wanting the child to be put up for adoption. Some men will even take the responsibility to help the woman through the pregnancy and adoption. Others may want to raise the child themselves.
A society that stoops so low to kill their unborn children might want to consider the evil and the suffering they are condoning. Anti abortion arguments question whether or not a society is civilized when they can easily murder their own children. Human life begins at conception. The development of this life may be ongoing for a little while but this little person is still fully alive and fully human. Once this little child is conceived then the life of the mother and father to be should be changed. Changed to the point that their own selfish needs are set aside. This would be the moral choice, the right choice. People within the society can use all kinds of arguments to justify their cause, no matter what the cause is. But the reality is simple. Two people's actions brought about a little person that deserves the right to be born, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The same right that all of us have had who were born into this world.
