Abortion Is Not a Lifestyle Choice
BBC recently reported that advances in ultrasound scanning have allowed doctors to see that babies in the womb exhibit facial expressions as a reflex in preparation for birth. Ray loves babies, which explains why I’m pro-life on the abortion issue.
Many pro-abortion arguments focused on the issue of rights: mothers’ right to have an abortion; whether unborn babies have rights since individual rights begin at birth, with the creation of a new, separate human being.
This raises an interesting question regarding euthanasia: if a pregnant mother has the right to terminate her unborn baby's life, why shouldn’t a terminally ill patient be allowed to end his own? If the argument against euthanasia is that a cure for the patient might be discovered in the future, isn’t it possible the unborn baby could make major contributions to our society when he grows up?
However, there are exceptions to every rule. Rape victims should be given a choice whether to have an abortion; health reasons might also be used to justify abortion.
It’s important to remember that abortion is not a lifestyle choice; we must take responsibility for our own actions.
