Firstly, I think it offensive when people say you should get an abortion if your pregnancy is the result of a rape. It is the mother's choice, but why would a child be responsible of the crimes of his or he father? I am pro-choice, but I think people should consider this angle before saying things like that. One of my friends was born from a rape, and his moter loves him dearly and does not blame him for what happened in the past.

In addition, is abortion always wrong? Imagine a single mother, who already has three kids and can barely make ends meet: should she consider bringing a fourth child into this world? A sixteen-year-old who, sure, might have made some bad choices, should she raise a baby even though she's still a kid herself? Or, worse, should she put the kid up for adoption? I believe our orphanages are already way too full.

So, is abortion wrong considered from that angle? Like someone - I can't seem to remember who - said, if men could get pregnant abortion would be free of charge. We, after all, live in the twenty-first century. Morals have changed, and some people need to learn to accept this.

When i think about almost 50 million abortion i think of 50 million people who were not allowed to live. I think of it like corn, (i know ha ha bare with me) if the corn is picked and the kernels never falls on fertile soil i do not consider it a corn stalk, but as soon as a single root grows, it is alive. children are the same. if a female egg dies without being fertalized by male sperm then it did not grow and is not consider the single entity that is life but if the egg cell is fertilized and divides into two cells, it is alive. many may think that, because it is not conscious or that it can not sustain itself it is merely a growing part of the mother but like the corn, the fetus uses the mother as nutrient, like soil. when the sperm and egg combine they form as a genetic code that replicates until specific functions of the code are utilized, eyes, nose, toes, whether or not he has a cleft chin. at nine months the child can no long grow inside the mother so he grows outside of here. just like the corn eventual, it must break through the soil and begin to grow outside. a mother must continue to feed the child, like the soil must continue to supply the plant with nutrients or it will die. so if you think a child is not alive until it is fully grown than abortions should be legal up to 21 for males and 16 for females because that is the time that they quit growing. the truth of the mater is that as soon as the egg and the sperm combine they create a blueprint of what the person will look like when they turn twenty so when a fetus is aborted the growing processes is stopped and it dies, just like if the corn takes root and begins to grow but is ripped out of the ground it will no longer grow to be a corn stalk.

my high school does not have any girls that are pregnant
