Abortion. That single word has sparked an amazing controversy throughout the whole of the United States - although it's not so much the word as the meaning behind it. If one turns to the dictionary for a definition, you will find an abortion is "the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus." The dictionary has never been one to mince words, and yet you'll find thousands of pro-abortionists trying to soften the meaning of what is, ultimately, murder.
Now that I have your attention: my fellow classmate posted a blog on this rather touchy subject just a few days ago, aptly titled "Murdering, with no punishment?" The author discusses their opinion on the subject, which is quite plain and straightforward - abortion is wrong. In the conclusion, it is even suggested that "it is time that the United States put a ban on abortions," because women should be "[taking] responsibility for what they have done."
I don't think I could more wholeheartedly agree with this. Although, yes, there are always difficult circumstances that pro-abortionists bring up ("What if the woman was raped? What if she or the child could die in the process of giving birth?"), aren't there difficult circumstances like that with any rule? There will always be moments that laws seem unfair or wrong, but without the laws, we have nothing to hold our world in place. If people would just stop beating around the bush and look at the issue of abortion, they'd see it for what it truly is. Abortion means taking a living being - a small fetus that would grow up to be someone just like you or me - and ending it. Just like that. Not even giving it a chance to see who it could be. Just making the decision for it. And I will always see that as being wrong, as being murder, ban or no ban.
They say it's the woman's choice, right? Well, this is mine.
