Abortion is an intervention intended to terminate a pregnancy and to take the life of the unborn child and is one of the most controversial issues in today’s society. We need to seriously think about whether or not abortion should be acknowledged as ethically right. Some consider that it’s a form of murder, we need to apply anti-abortion laws to all women around the world to prevent taking the lives of innocent human beings not yet born and save women from any unfortunate accidents.
But isn't the woman entitled to her own body? Yes, she is. But a pregnant woman does not just carry her own body, the unborn child has as much right to his or her body and right to live as his or her parents. Furthermore, no one has the right to use her body to injure or kill another person's body, but that's exactly what abortion does!
Doing an abortion is not just terminating a pregnancy. It is depriving the child of time and space to grow and denies his or her existence. In other words, it is to oppose life and God's will for us and all creation. In an abortion we all lose, the unborn child who loses a life, the parents who lose a child, and the entire community who lose an asset and part of the future.
The Church believes that human life starts at conception, that is, when conception occurs, then a new human with unique DNA is created. During pregnancy, the baby then gradually develops, eventually becoming a human being. Therefore, the Church believes that the unborn child must be respected as a human being from the very beginning of its life, that is, conception, and that abortion is a serious moral evil.
Abortion rights promote irresponsible behavior. With abortion as a way out, many, especially young people, ignore taking responsibility for their actions. They may have unprotected sex with multiple partners. It encourages selfish behavior. Especially in young guys who push girls to have an abortion. For them, sex is ​​amusement. In Sweden, approximately 35,000 abortions are performed annually, which equals 19 abortions per 1000 women. Abortion is used as a contraceptive, anti-abortion laws would reduce the number of abortions.
Each abortion is murdering a small person. Biologically, this is true. And every human being has value, regardless of the degree of dependence, how conscious one is, or whether one is desired. It is for the child's right that we must tighten the abortion laws and introduce anti-abortion laws.
