Of course, there are a myriad of terrible and sinful lifestyles going on in our world today. But, these things are not going unnoticed by the One true and Living God. We are beginning to reap the judgement that we so desperately are deserving of. In regards to the abortion issue, you may have noticed that for every innocent life that has been taken by this method, there is now an illegal alien present in this land to take the innocent's place.

As a young girl I went off in the wrong direction and became pregnant. The first time I became pregnant I was almost 16. I was a lonely little girl and I needed to be needed by someone and I needed to have someone to love. I kept that beautiful baby boy and today he is 40 years old...very smart and very productive. I love him so much. Then, at 17 years of age, I became pregnant again. I was then aware of the tremendous responsibility involved in caring for a child. Friends told me they would help me get an abortion. That was never an option for me. I distained the very idea. I got myself into trouble and I needed to face the consequences myself. I could not make the helpless baby growing inside me pay for my mistake. Two months after turning 18 years old, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I knew I would do her no justice by keeping her myself. I already had one small child who had no father, I would not do that to a second child. I gave her up for adoption. My heart broke and it was by far the steepest mountain I ever had to climb but in my mind, there was no choice. A loving family adopted her. She just turned 39 last month and we write back and forth. She's beautiful and has a wonderful husband and two beautiful children...a son and a daughter. Had I aborted this little girl, I would not only have murdered her, but the blood of those two children she now has, and any children/grandchildren that will be born to them would be on my hands as well. When someone aborts one child, down the line there's an army of people that are also done away with. It wasn't easy raising a baby at such a young age and it was even harder for me to give the other child up, but I'm so thankful today for the precious lives of both of them. Consider adoption as an alternative to abortion. That way, everyone has a chance to see what the future holds in store for them. Everyone wins!

A few years ago, my sister got pregnant. She was only 14, yet she still kept the baby. Now, I have a lovely nephew called Alex, and a sister who has just passed all of her GSCE's with an A*-B grade standard. Having a child when you are young, doesn't ruin your life. Not if you don't let it. As for women having an abortion for babies that have been concieved through rape/ sexual abuse, personally, I think that that is taking the cowards way out of it. The baby inside you didn't ask to be concieved that way, and if you had met that man in any other circumstance, and fallen in love, you wouldn't even think about aborting the baby! If you had carried that child to full term, and given birth, then murdered it after one day of it being alive, you would be put in prison. Abortion is exactly the same thing, murder, but everyday, women get babies aborted, and then walk away and carry on their lives. I think that that is a major miscarriage of justice, on the baby's behalf. A baby is still a baby, born or unborn. I'm 14. 14 years of life, all because my mum was brave enough to give birth to me. If you've ever aborted a baby, how old would it be now? Would he/ she be sitting here next to you, or in the next room in a crib, or maybe in preschool? Secondary school? Uni? Abortion is wrong, and thank god that there are people who are willing to speak out for those that can't say it themselves.

Abortion was not yet legal. Yet they still occurred. I call my mother every year on my birthday and thank her for chosing to give birth to me. She did not have to. I was child #5...She had 6 kids and two miscarriages in 8 years. When I was 13, she told us that she was pregnant and that her doctor told her that "she would not survive another pregnancy". What he probably meant was her marriage might not survive another pregnancy.That decision changed my opinion of my mother forever.Looking back..that event formed my views on abortion and whether it was okay or not. By her agreeing to allow her own child to be killed...she told us all that it was okay. My views have changed but not without a heartache and death of innocent children. Please say the rosary.

But by doing so they taint the word choice. I'm all for choice, in all areas of life. However, the intentional taking of a life isn't a choice. Is it murder? And if so, why do we use the word "abortion"? We use it because it's more pleasant, because it offends a smaller number of people. But we should try to see past the words and see the issues as they are.There are several sites that describe the act of partial birth abortion. Wikipedia (a once unreliable but now improved source) describes intact dilation and extraction (a fancy term for partial-birth abortion) as "Under the Intact D&X method, the largest part of the fetus (the head) is reduced in diameter to allow vaginal passage. According to the American Medical Association, this procedure has four main elements.[8] First, the cervix is dilated. Second, the fetus is positioned for a footling breech. Third, the fetus is partially pulled out, starting with the feet, as far as the neck. Fourth, the brain and material inside the skull is evacuated, so that a dead but otherwise intact fetus can be delivered via the vagina."It's enough to make anyone sick, isn't it? And it isn't as rare as we've been led to believe (http://www.abortionfacts.com/literature/literature_9313pb.asp).I have been sad over this fact, but now I am angry...angry that future civilizations will look back at ours and think how horrible it was that such a practice was allowed.Sometimes it seems that those who are pro-choice scoff at pro-lifers because they see them as religious fanatic and ignorant in general. This too is false (http://www.godandscience.org/abortion/sld002.html). There are both sacred and seculiar arguments regarding abortion, many of them highly scientific.There should be a home beside each clinic, a safe place for unwed or abused mothers, or those seeking an adoption agency. We shouldn't just succeed inmaking abortion illegal, but making it utterly unnecessary. We will achieve this through love and support, not by harsh words and condemnation.

I'm only 14 and I might not know what I'm saying, but I can get an understanding. Rachel said that unprotected sex will most likely lead to a child. and that's why I think abortion is bad, because "it only takes once, and it takes two [people]"- My mother. I know it's not always meant like with rapes and suff, which I can understand an abortion for, but there are also cases were it is desguistful, and something I would call out of the question. I think abortion is a sinful thing and should never be forgivable. Abortion is murder, weather they can't speak, or move, or anything else yet. They are alive from the first stage of development and on... and abortion takes away their life, and their agency. ROO says they have a heartbeat, and they do. stopping anyone else's heart would be murder... why does something that can't stand up for itself not get that kind of chance? The least you can do if you are thinking about abortion is adoption because at least then you're giving a child a chance to live, and who knows! a set of parents who aren't even lucky enough to have children would be overjoyed.

Either way there was still a heartbeat and that heartbeat got stopped by someone so it is virtually the same thing... so if you are looking for an anti-abortion argument without using God its still murder because there is a heartbeat and that heartbeat is stopped intintionally...Murder is a fellony and abortion should be as well!
