abortion


Looking at Exodus 21:22 -.
             "When we strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt the woman shall be fined.".
             In this instance, a woman has been so injured that she has aborted her child. The law states that if "no harm follows" the outsider must pay the husband a fine. An abortion has been induced through violence and this is not considered harmful. Therefore, it is not a violation of the commandment "thou shalt not kill". .
             In conclusion of a religion standpoint, the Bible does not specifically address abortion. It does not say whether or not abortion is okay. The Bible just gives a better understanding of when life begins.
             Government:.
             Government- in or out? Government is what many people look upon in order to solve their arguments on abortion, where others prefer that the government have no say. There have been courts held to debate on whether the woman's choice is superior to the life of the unborn fetus. But is it really for the government to decide? The government neither forbids nor encourages abortion; but is neutral. Though with abortion being legal, the government is forcing taxpayers to support abortion. The law enforcement sector is funded by taxation, therefore, the taxpayer is forced to protect the practice.
             The function of the law is to protect rights - not moral issues, which is exactly what abortion is. The government cannot take away the freedom of privacy to those who are pro-choice. A woman's right to decide whether or not to terminate her pregnancy is a fundamental right, part of a right to privacy. Abortion cannot be considered murder because it has not been proven and cannot be proven that a fetus is human, and therefore has not yet obtained the rights of a human. Though, some argue that a fetus is human, or at least potentially human and therefore should have the rights of a human.
