There are two sides to the abortion debate. One which believes that killing a baby is the reason why abortion is wrong and the other side that is<\/em> wrong.<\/p>\n Oh yeah, it\u2019s going to be one of those kinds of articles, and if the previous little point upsets you, then the next one will completely destroy whatever emotional balance you think you have.<\/p>\n Abortion is nothing more than pretending that \u2018the right to choose\u2019 or \u2018bodily autonomy\u2019 is a valid justification for allowing a woman to murder her own (and by the way someone else\u2019s) defenceless child simply because it will get in the way of her life.<\/p>\n It\u2019s quite ironic because it used to be that parents would voluntarily give up their lives to protect their children from danger. Now it\u2019s the children who are forced to give up their lives, just for the convenience of their parents.<\/p>\n In case you\u2019ve missed the point, due to it being drenched in sarcasm, derision, mockery and dare I say it, wit \u2013 I suppose I do dare say it \u2013 then let me state it for you as clearly as possible.<\/p>\n The reason why abortion is wrong is because it\u2019s the act of killing a baby. Otherwise known as murder.<\/p>\n Yes, I know all the arguments for being Pro-Child Murder \u2026 I mean Pro-Choice \u2026 to murder your child (aren\u2019t euphemisms great): it\u2019s not a life, it\u2019s not a person, you hate women and want to control them, it\u2019s her body so she has the right to choose whether what\u2019s inside can live or die \u2026 I mean what to \u2018do\u2019 with it, you don\u2019t want to look after it financially once it\u2019s born so you can\u2019t say murdering it before hand is wrong, wait a minute you\u2019re a man so your opinion doesn\u2019t count.<\/p>\n But the fact is none of that is true. Those who are Pro-Life \u2026 I mean anti Pro-Choice to murder your child (oh it\u2019s not that complicated) don\u2019t hate women. Nor do they want to control them. They just don\u2019t like people murdering babies. It\u2019s not that hard to understand. They believe that a woman can choose to do whatever she wants with her own body, except killing the child she\u2019s carrying. They also believe you can have an opinion on abortion despite not wanting to financially support the child or god forbid, being a man. Because all the silly excuses cannot overcome the far more important point that a foetus is, as we\u2019re going to show, a developing human being and killing it is morally unacceptable.<\/p>\n And I apologise for exaggerating. Honestly. I really shouldn\u2019t say that the reason why abortion is wrong is because it\u2019s murder. It\u2019s an embellishment that overstates the truth of the matter and as such is counterproductive, damaging and doesn\u2019t help advance the discussion. It\u2019s much better to be precise and accurate.<\/p>\n So let me restate the point without inflating it in any way whatsoever. The reason why abortion is wrong is, as we\u2019re going to show, because it\u2019s the worst form of murder.<\/p>\n There, fixed it.<\/p>\n Despite the huge number of Pro-Choice arguments and the equally huge number of Pro-Life arguments<\/a> that rebut them, there\u2019s really only one fundamental question in the abortion debate.<\/p>\n And that is whether a foetus is a life or merely a bundle of cells.<\/p>\n Once this question is answered all the other issues disappear. If a foetus is a life, then no amount of hysteria about choice, women\u2019s rights or the impact on the mother\u2019s life (unless we\u2019re talking about death or genuinely severe medical issues) can make killing it morally acceptable. If a foetus is not a life but a clump of cells, then there\u2019s no reason to override a person\u2019s right to do whatever they want with their own bodies.<\/p>\n If a foetus is a clump of cells, then making abortion illegal would be wrong. If a foetus is a life, then killing babies would be the reason why abortion would be wrong.<\/p>\n It\u2019s really very simple. It\u2019s also really very simple why people make it so complex. Because complexity muddies the waters and creates confusion. If you bombard people with lots of silly excuses that redirects their attention from the status of the foetus to focus on women\u2019s rights, then it becomes much easier to kill babies with a clear conscience.<\/p>\n Because the answer to the fundamental question about the status of a foetus and consequently whether abortion is wrong, is that it is<\/em> a life and therefore, abortion is<\/em> wrong.<\/p>\n And I\u2019m not just saying that because I want it to be true. I\u2019m not a Leftist. It\u2019s true because those are the facts. Science<\/a> tells us that a foetus is a life. In fact, science<\/a> proves that life begins at fertilisation.<\/p>\n A fertilised egg has all the criteria science requires to establish biological life: metabolism, growth, reaction to stimuli and reproduction. And it\u2019s not merely another one of the mother\u2019s living cells, as it also has the two criteria science requires to distinguish one cell from another: a different composition and behaviour. A fertilised egg has a unique molecular composition which, while containing the components of the sperm and egg that created it, is distinct from both, and it behaves differently from them as the goal of both sperm and egg is to fuse while this new cell works to prevent any further fusion.<\/p>\n Furthermore, a fertilised egg is not like other parts of the body for example the kidney or arm which are also living human cells, because it\u2019s an organism. Science defines an organism as: a complex structure of interdependent elements that acts in a coordinated manner to carry on the activities of life by separately functioning but mutually dependent organs. In other words, although a cell which is the basic unit of a living organism, exhibits the activities of cellular life, it doesn\u2019t engage in coordinated interaction to sustain the life of the entity as a whole or achieve a higher level of organisation. An organism, which is a discrete and complete living thing, does.<\/p>\n It\u2019s clear that science does prove that life begins at fertilisation and therefore it follows that an abortion would be the ending of a life. Another way of expressing the concept of one person ending the life of another, is murder. And that\u2019s the reason why abortion is wrong.<\/p>\n Now many people misunderstand the above point. And so it\u2019s worthwhile to be clear. The reason why abortion is wrong is not because you\u2019re killing a human being. The reason why abortion is wrong is because you\u2019re killing a human life.<\/p>\n Sounds like hair-splitting doesn\u2019t it. But it\u2019s actually an important distinction.<\/p>\n All normal people believe that murdering another person is one of the most heinous crimes that can be committed, but you\u2019ll notice that this aversion to ending life only applies to killing people and not to other known life-forms. Most people don\u2019t think it\u2019s wrong to kill animals and those who do, do not think it as severe a crime as killing a human being. The reason for this is that the life of a human being has a greater value than the life of an animal. This is because human beings experience life in a vastly superior way to animals in terms of things like intellectual abilities (even Leftists who would be perfectly capable of higher levels of reasoning were they not also of the belief that switching off their brain cell and accepting insane ideas makes them morally superior), consciousness, sense of personal identity and the ability to criticise people you don\u2019t like. Being more valuable, the end of the life of a human being is a far greater loss than the end of the life of an animal, and the idea of one person intentionally killing another human being for no good reason, far more repugnant than the idea of a person killing an animal for no good reason.<\/p>\n This being the case, one could argue that there\u2019s no reason why abortion should be considered wrong. A foetus or a fertilised egg doesn\u2019t experience life in the way an adult human being does. Its experience of life is more similar, if not inferior to that of an animal and if an animal who experiences life in a superior way to a foetus can be killed, then there should be no reason why you can\u2019t kill a foetus.<\/p>\n But this is only true if the argument for why abortion is wrong is because a foetus is a human being. Only then could one rebut the argument by saying, correctly, that despite a foetus being a human life it\u2019s not a human being who experiences life in a superior way and is therefore something you can kill. However, since the argument for why abortion is wrong is because a foetus is a human life \u2013 an argument that already takes into account the difference between human life and human being – the rebuttal does not work.<\/p>\n Because the argument is that even mere human life has a greater value than the life of an animal and so despite not being able to experience life to the level of an animal it would be wrong to kill it. And that greater value is that it will develop into a human being that will experience life in a superior way.<\/p>\n This is more than saying that a human life is a potential human being because potential may or may not be actualised. A foetus is more than potential because it\u2019s developing right now and is something that if you would just leave it alone, will, within a relatively short period of time, become a human being that will live a superiorly experienced life.<\/p>\n The truth is that everybody agrees with this. After all, nobody thinks it\u2019s perfectly okay to kill a newborn just because it lacks the intelligence of a dog whereas everybody thinks it\u2019s wrong to kill a newborn because of what it will grow up to be.<\/p>\n Now you may think that having made this distinction between human life and human being means that we can\u2019t call abortion murder. And you may be correct. It may well be difficult to argue that preventing a human life from developing into a human being is as bad as killing a human being but there are two things you should keep in mind.<\/p>\n First, even if it\u2019s not murder, preventing a human life from developing into a human being is still only something a first-class scumbag would do. A foetus today means a whole life tomorrow and preventing that just because right now the foetus is not yet a human being, is an exercise in a high level of small-minded pettiness.<\/p>\n Second, preventing a human life from developing into a human being has the essential element of murder. Murder is when one person intentionally ends the life of another person for no good reason, but what is it exactly that makes it such a heinous crime? It can\u2019t be the pain and damage you\u2019re causing, because that would mean murder would be okay provided you do it without causing pain and damage. The real problem with murder is that you\u2019ve stopped the murdered person from living the rest of their life. In other words, you\u2019ve prevented life. Which is exactly what happens when you abort a foetus.<\/p>\n (This may mean that the distinction between human life and human being as the reason for why abortion is wrong, is mere hair-splitting after all.)<\/p>\n Since the essential element of murder \u2013 namely the prevention of life – exists in abortion, I think it\u2019s perfectly reasonable to say that abortion is a form of murder. And that would be the reason why abortion is wrong.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a slight possibility that some people will not like this section.<\/p>\n Never mind.<\/p>\n Despite the common denominator that runs through all murders \u2013 namely the death of the murdered \u2013 which makes murder one of the worst crimes that can be committed, some forms of murder are worse than others. Various factors are taken into account when judging how severe a form of murder is, some of the most obvious being intent and motivation. It\u2019s clear that bad as it is to make a spur of the moment decision to kill someone, it\u2019s not as bad as when the murder is planned weeks in advance. Revenge is definitely not a good reason to kill someone, but it\u2019s not as bad a reason as enjoying watching other people suffer.<\/p>\n The reason why abortion is wrong is not only because it\u2019s murder, but because it\u2019s the worst form of murder.<\/p>\n For five reasons.<\/p>\n The first is because of who you\u2019re murdering. You\u2019re murdering the weakest members of our society. Defenceless, helpless, children. Those of us who are not bad people believe that this weakness means children need more looking after and protecting, not that they\u2019re people you can exploit because they can\u2019t stand up for themselves or fight back. Also, foetuses haven\u2019t experienced much of life yet, and from a certain point of view killing them is worse than killing people who at least had the chance to experience life, even if they threw that chance away by spending too much time in front of the TV.<\/p>\n The second reason why abortion is the worst form of murder is because of your relationship with the child you\u2019re murdering. Namely, that it\u2019s your<\/em> child, for goodness sake. Human nature dictates that if there\u2019s one thing a parent should not do to their child, it\u2019s abort them. On the contrary, the job of a parent is to nurture and care for their children even past the stage in life where they are perfectly capable of looking after themselves. The job of a parent is to protect them from all the psychos out there, not to be one of them.<\/p>\n A child is the offspring of its parents. A child is created by its parents. A child is a part of its parents. That\u2019s why it\u2019s human nature for a person to love their child. There\u2019s not much out there that\u2019s more unnatural or abhorrent than a parent killing their own child.<\/p>\n The third reason why abortion is the worst form of murder is because it has the worst of motivations. Some reasons for abortion include (but are not limited to) being unable to afford a child, not wanting to be a single parent, not being ready to have a child and not wanting anything to interfere with education and career plans. In other words, your own convenience is more important than your child\u2019s life. That\u2019s a super cold-hearted and callous motivation for murder.<\/p>\n And by the way, the inconvenience is temporary. Nine months and then you can give your child up for adoption. This is the fourth reason why abortion is the worst form of murder. Because your already appalling motivation becomes even more sickening when we highlight the fact that your motive for killing a defenceless child was a temporary problem.<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t end there. The final reason why abortion is the worst form of murder is yet another aspect of the worst of motivations. Because not only are you killing your own child to prevent any inconvenience, and not only are you killing your own child to prevent any temporary inconvenience, you\u2019re killing your own child to prevent a temporary inconvenience when you were the cause of that inconvenience in the first place! If the foetus would have magically appeared in your uterus, then killing it because it\u2019s temporarily inconveniencing you is merely cold-hearted and callous. But in this case, it was something that you<\/em> did which caused the foetus to end up inside you. How wretchedly awful a person must you be, if the motivation to kill your own child is a cold-hearted and callous reason that you\u2019re responsible for?<\/p>\n Hint: very, if not more.<\/p>\n And yes, if the pregnancy was the result of rape, where you didn\u2019t willingly create the foetus, then you can\u2019t make this last argument. In such a case there must be leniency and only the other four reasons why abortion is the worst form of murder will apply.<\/p>\n These are the reasons why abortion is the worst form of murder.<\/p>\n Which in turn is the reason why abortion is wrong.<\/p>\n How? What could be worse than the reason why abortion is wrong being because it\u2019s the worst form of murder?<\/p>\n And you\u2019re right. We\u2019ve reached the end of the line in how bad abortion is in and of itself and you can relax and try and restore some of your emotional balance. I mean you shouldn\u2019t have lost it anyway. What else did you expect from an article entitled, \u2018Why Abortion Is Wrong\u2019.<\/p>\n But I would like to point out that vis a vis the ideology of abortion as a whole, there\u2019s something even worse than the reason why abortion is wrong.<\/p>\n And that is that the Pro-Abortion side has convinced millions of women who do not know any better, to kill their defenceless children for their own convenience. Many of the women who have abortions are completely unaware of the severity of what they\u2019re doing and have been persuaded that an abortion is nothing more than the removal of a polyp.<\/p>\n This is why despite murder being the reason why abortion is wrong, it\u2019s not clear that women who have an abortion are actually murderers.<\/p>\n The one thing that\u2019s worse than committing the worst form of murder is brainwashing others to do it.<\/p>\n Yeah, maybe I jumped the gun on telling you to relax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are two sides to the abortion debate.
