issues of morality by santiago dumlao, "a woman's right to her body"?

Answer 1

Abortion is almost always WRONG. I have heard all the arguments.

"It's a woman's right" (haven't seen such a right in the US Constitution). "It's only a lump of cells." "It isn't alive" are the most popular of the "Pro-Choice" crowd.

Meanwhile, the "Pro-Life" crowd says it's God's will that there shouldn't be any abortions.

Quite frankly, none of those arguments do anything for me.


Is there something that all people of good will can agree upon? Perhaps it is this. An innocent human life should not be taken without just cause.

One may argue about the morality of killing during a war. Or if there should be the death penalty for people convicted of murder. And there is self-defense. I think that just about covers it.

Your neighbor plays his TV too loud at 3 AM? Not a reason to kill him. Your boss won't give you a raise? Not a reason to go postal (I used to work at the USPS during my college days). You're not ready to be a parent? I guess that's the question here.

Certainly, except where the life of the mother is in serious danger from the pregnancy, none of those arguable cases applies. For example, if she is a diabetic and the pregnancy might destroy her kidneys, then I think it should be up to her.

Well then, why do I say the abortion is wrong most of the time? Simple. I was born in January. Working backwards, I guess that I was conceived about the early part of April of the previous year. I am now an old f@rt. I claim to be human. I claim the right to be not terminated without just cause as stated above.

My DNA is the same as when I was 12 years old. Same person, different package. It's the same as when I was 3 1/2. Same person, different package. It's the same as when I was born. SPDP. It's the same as when I was just conceived. SPDP.

Unless you think that I am not a person now, I was also a person that April many years ago. I claim for that person the same right to Life, Liberty and Property that the Constitution gives to me today.

Answer 2

A persons rights end when they interfere with the rights of another individual.

As an unborn child (even at very early stages) has it's own dna pattern, and blood type, I define an unborn child as an individual and thus they have the rights of Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness.
