Ethics

The Pro-Life argument is that all human life is sacred. They believe that this life begins from the moment of conception and anything that takes away this life is tantamount to murder. If it is wrong to kill a baby of two months, in the eyes of Pro-Life people it is equally wrong to kill a two-month-old embryo. They see every human life both within the womb and out of the womb as sacred and from God. Child should not be punished for its parents irresponsibility The Pro-Life argument here is based on the embryos right to life irrespective of the situation hisher parents find themselves in. This essay seeks to provide a proof that pro-life option is the best way to go in determining abortion cases and that the unborn child has a right to live.

Many people have tried to come up with ideologies which support the abortion or rather the termination of the unborn fetus. This particular point of view is held by a group of people with the pro-choice argument. They are of the opinion that the life of the child is entirely dependent on the pregnant woman. They are convicted that the mother of the unborn child could terminate the fetus on several occasions. These include if the mother is not able to bring up the child if the male counterpart is reluctant in taking responsibility or else if the pregnancy was not through consent from either sides.

In reaction to this the pro-life argument believes that there are better options to go for other than abortion. The pro-life argument is confident that it is the unborn child has a right to live and if the mother is not interested to keep the baby for whatever reason, she can opt to give out the child out in what is normally called adoption. The pro-life group has the conviction that there are many people who are willing to take care of born babies through adoption.

 If the conception of the child is due to casual sex, the parents should have no rights to decide if the child should live or not. They would probably only be having an abortion for their own convenience and not value the unborn childs life at all.  A woman should not be allowed to put her career before her life and that of her child In todays society many woman are career orientated and the untimely arrival of a child may ruin their career prospects. If a career woman becomes pregnant she may look for an abortion as a way of dealing with an unwanted child. The Pro-Life movement believes that no human situation can justify the taking of an innocent life. Obviously a person in this situation may need counseling or help in knowing how to reconcile her pregnancy with her career. Abortion may have physical or mental side effects for the woman Many women who go through with an abortion sometimes suffer from depression as a result of it. Pro-Life groups try to inform the public of these realities while Pro-Choice groups pay little attention to this.

As put forward in the pro-choice argument, the lives of many women will be put in danger as they try to carry out an abortion on their own. The pro-choice are of the idea that many women will do so in fear of being arrested when they turn out in the public centers to procure an abortion.  Many of them have supported this argument using the criminalization of abortion in the period between 1800s and 1973. History has it that many women suffered health problems and others to the extent of death because of procuring abortion by themselves. The pro-choice are of the opinion that abortion should be legalized to avoid such occurrences. As though that did not make sense, the pro-life do not hold on to such views. They are confident that life is very precious and that the unborn child has feelings. It is therefore infringing the right of the unborn and also a criminal offence of murder seen in the process of procuring an abortion.  It is therefore imperative according to the pro-life that the life of the child be spared regardless of the situation. It doesnt matter to them whatever the situation is. They are very much attached to the sacred teachings that the life of the child is depended on God and that no human being has a right to deny the child an opportunity to live.
