Abortion as defined is the act of giving premature birth; particularly, the expulsion of the human fetus prematurely, or before it is capable of sustaining life.
Abortion for me equals taking an innocent life and can be associated to killing or murder. It should never be allowed in our society because it is but a big sin. Unless otherwise it would involve endangering the life of the mother thus, the process can never be avoided, but those are just very rare and special circumstances. There are even cases that the mother would sacrifice her life just to save the life of her child inside her womb.
Why do people result to abortion? PMS or premarital sex can be a very big reason or factor as to why abortion had been very rampant today. Young people who are very curious about the deed without taking into consideration what might happen. People who engage into such acts but they themselves are not ready to face its consequences. If they really can't help themselves they could always use protection. There are already a lot of contraceptives that are readily available in the market. People should take precaution if they are not ready yet to become parents. Otherwise they will be carrying the burden with them until they die. In the law of God and in the law of man, abortion is never tolerated. It is a sin. And a sin will always be punishable. The consequences might not be directed to you at this very moment if you are the person concerned. But the next generation will always suffer the consequences of your deed. Better yet, avoid it now before everything is too late.
Life starts at the stage of conception. You can never defend yourself by saying that you are not taking a life since what is inside you is still blood. It already has a life, I tell you. I am 6 months pregnant with my first baby. I am very much against abortion. It should not be legalized in any country or nation. Other wise people will never learn the importance of life. We are only granted with one life and if given the chance to conceive another, we should take good care of that life. There are a lot of people who are having a hard time getting pregnant. If you feel that you can't support the child inside you, better give your child out for adoption, a better future might await that child when he/she is already on better hands. You can not just waste your child's life because of your selfish reasons.
