Blake MoorerEssay 64/23/07EH1301-03Mr. KellyAbortionThe horrors and evils in the world today are astronomical in numbers. Of all of these many abominations, one of the worst is abortion. There have been 38,010,378 abortions since 1973 (Number of Abortions by Year. 20 April 2007. <http://www.euthanasia.com/usstat.html>). Abortion is the removal of a fetus from the womb for the purpose of ending a pregnancy. To just say "removal" would be putting it extremely mild. I have seen photographs of aborted babies. Those pictures were probably the most tragic and depressing images that I have ever laid my eyes on. It brings tears to your eyes to see the tiny, dissected forms of precious living beings that had no chance at life.The amazing thing is that the people involved in the abortion process have no remorse or shame for doing this at all. They think that it is okay and perfectly moral. Their viewpoint never ceases to amaze and disgust me. The mindset of the world today is absolutely appalling. What really astounds me is that there are actually constant debates around the world, from the conversations of common citizens all the way up to the Supreme Court about whether or not these abortions should be allowed. Is it moral? On one side you have the pro-life party that says that it isn't and on the flip side the pro-choice party that says it is.Pro-choice. This party is in favor of a woman's right to choose. The woman\girl has the right to chose whether or not she wants to have a baby. The first time that I heard this I had to stop and make sure that I was hearing correctly. The girl had the right to choose whether or not she wanted to have the baby. She made her choice when she decided to have sexual intercourse. Granted, there are a few exceptions such as rape. Many argue that a woman who has been raped should be allowed to abort her baby because she didn't have a choice in the matter. However, this does not give anyone the right to murder an innocent child. I know that I have no idea what it is liked to be raped. I can't imagine the terror of such an ordeal, and I sympathize and pray for the victims, but it still doesn't justify murder. For that is what abortion is, murder, the killing of another human being. Those babies are human beings made in the image and likeness of God.Those fetuses that are being cut apart are living feeling beings. I can't understand how anyone can say that...
