Topic: Is abortion wrong?
Introduction
Abortion is one of the many inhumane acts that are practiced around the world. Is it not the
unnecessary and selfish act of brutally terminating the life of an innocent baby? Is it not an
atrocious, costly and malignant procedure that affects the lives of all victims who cross the path
of this 'fatal monster'? Without a doubt it is! Abortion is akin to murder, it deprives the world of
human beings who could possibly make great contributions and the procedure is invasive and
cruel.
Body: point # 1
Abortion is akin to murder. Many pro-rights activists have argued that a foetus is not
human, therefore not a baby, hence cannot be 'murdered', but can be aborted. The two words are
one and the same. This is so because there is no clear scientific evidence that clarifies where
humanity begins. If a doctor killed a baby one minute after it it were born, he would be charged
with murder, but if that same doctor killed a baby that is two weeks in vitro, it is abortion? At
what minute, or second, in a child's development is life considered precious? Abortion is a
euphemism for murder because all life is precious, no matter the stage of development.

Each human has the potential to act in a way that is exemplary and innovative. By doing
so, they make positive contributions to the world. Unborn babies are a manifestation of this
potential. Therefore, it is fair to say that aborted babies are robbed of the opportunity to make a
positive contribution to the world. Imagine if great men, who changed the course of history, like
Albert Einstein, Mahatma Gandhi, or even Barack Obama were deprived of the chance to help
shape the world as we know it because they were aborted. Where would we be now? We do
ourselves an injustice when we deprive the world of brilliant scientists, fearless heroes and
loving friends. Unborn babies have the right to life and to fulfill an unknown destiny.
Body: point # 3
The medical procedure called abortion is a cold operation in which the child can be
literally vacuumed out of a woman's vagina, cut in pieces in vitro and extracted, or the baby can
be poisoned by inserting a salt solution into the amniotic sac; leading to the delivery of a dead
baby. These are just a few methods that highlight the invasive and cruel nature of the procedure.
How can this be considered to be right? This is the way in which one treats unwanted garbage,
no baby should be classified as such! Birth is natural, even miscarriages are natural, but to
employ such cold procedures to rid oneself of a child is invasive and cruel!
Recommendations
Instead of aborting a baby it is better to give the child up for adoption, and there is the
option of foster care. These choices are by no means easy ones, but they are certainly better than
aborting the child. While the child may lack the love of its birth parent, it will gain a family unit
and be provided with food, shelter, clothing and guidance. This is a far better alternative to death.
Conclusion
Abortion is akin to murder, it deprives the world of human beings who could possibly
make great contributions and the procedure is invasive and cruel. If we believe that children are
our future, then why do we slaughter thousands of innocent babies who could have become
strong, noble leaders that our world desperately needs?
