Abortion

            
            
             6 million murders are committed legally each year, with the exception of laws in few states. This is the murder of an innocent child by a procedure known as abortion. Abortion stops the beating of an innocent child's heart. People must no longer ignore the scientific evidence that life begins at the moment of conception. People can no longer ignore the medical and emotional problems an abortion causes women. People must stop denying the facts about the procedure, and start hearing the silent screams of unborn children. .
             The argument by the pro-abortion side is that the unborn child is not truly a child. Many people who are pro-abortion justify their beliefs through the concept that a fetus is only a piece of tissue until it is born, or the statement: life begins at birth. Abortion is not as simple as removing a piece of tissue from a woman's body. Abortion is the destruction, dismembering and killing of a human life--an unborn baby. But it is scientific and medical fact based on experimental evidence, that a fetus is a living, growing, thriving human being, directing his or her own development (Netscape). A fetus is not just a piece of tissue; rather a fetus is Latin for "offspring" or "young one". Human life begins at fertilization, therefore it is wrong to murder the innocent child in the womb. At a US Senate Judiciary Subcommittee meeting, most scientists said that life begins at conception or implantation of the embryo. No scientist at the meeting claimed that life begins at birth (Whitney 4). Professor Hymie Gordon of the Mayo clinic stated by all criteria of modern biology, life is present from the moment of conception. (Fetal Development). Abortions are also dangerous to your life and health (Somer 32). Even though abortion is dangerous to a woman's life, and it kills her baby, Planned Parenthood still offers it as a safe solution. This statement contradicts what most abortion clinics say.
