Abortion

Abortion In Roman times, abortion and the destruction of unwanted children was permissible, but as our civilization has aged, it seems that such acts were no longer acceptable by rational human beings, so that in 1948, most nations in the world signed a declaration of the United Nations promising every human being the right to life (Josefson 702). Abortion is an act of murder, who says that it is fair for that decision to be made by an expecting mother' Can we choose death for another while life is all we ourselves know' Some are less disturbed by the slaughter of thousands of unborn children than by the personal problems of a pregnant woman across the street. To rationalize this double standard, they pretend to themselves that the unborn child is a less valuable human life because it has no active social relationships and can therefore, be disposed of by others who have an arbitrary standard of their own for the value of a human life. To say that a 10-week fetus has less value that a baby means also that one must consider a baby of less value than a child, a young adult of less value abortion, unwanted, child, baby, women, love, pregnancy, think, less, human, tell, right, one, mother, kill, fetus, children, been, world, way, value, problems, mommy, life, know, jenny, incest, help, doctor, catholic, being, begley, becoming, act, years
