Approximately that occur during birth to magically

Approximately 1.6 million murders are committed legally each year. While the mutilated bodies of the victims lay waiting in infested dumpsters to be hauled off to a landfill, the murderers are in their offices waiting for their next patient. This is the murder of an innocent child by a procedure known as abortion.

Abortion stops the beating of an innocent childs 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. Pro-abortionists believe that life begins at birth and that a fetus is only a blob of tissue until it is born. Abortion is the dismembering and killing of a human life-an unborn baby- not just a blob of tissue.

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 (Fetal Development). A fetus is not just a blob of tissue; rather a fetus is Latin for offspring or young one. 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 (Factbot). Professor Hymie Gordon of the Mayo clinic stated by all criteria of modern biology, life is present from the moment of conception (fetal development). Not only has science proven that a fetus is truly a human, the simple facts also confer abortion kills the life of a human being.

Life begins at conception because of the fact that life in the womb does not change at birth. There are no special procedures or changes that occur during birth to magically change the fetus to a baby. It is already a baby-a human life. Of the 45 generations of cell divisions before adulthood, 41 have taken place before a person is born. Fertilization is just the beginning of a long process of growing and maturing.

Gender, physical features, eye color have already been determined. The babys heart begins beating regularly at 24 days. Babies in the womb hiccup, cry, play, and learn (Factbot). Life continues from the day of fertilization until death.

Nothing is added to a person during a lifetime. Scientific and medical facts prove that the fetus is living. They prove that the fetus is a person, a human, and functions separate from the mother. All unborn babies have the right to life guaranteed to humans under the constitution.

No other person has the right to take away the unborn childs life, no matter what the situation is. One must not sacrifice a life to make ones own life better. Many argue that most of the babies that are aborted are unwanted babies. They believe that they would be abused and neglected. This is why abortion is ok to them. They believe abortion is saving the child from abuse. Abortion, however, is the most severe case of child abuse.

The procedure is painful to the child and intentionally ends in death (except in cases where the procedure results in a living child.About once a day, somewhere in the US, something goes wrong and an abortion results in a live baby) The fetus is alive and has the capacity to feel the painful abortion procedure. The US Department of Health and Human Services reported that after nine weeks unborn babies can feel pain, yet 48 percent of all abortions are done after this point. The ultra sound shows the baby struggling to survive. An early abortion takes about five minutes and is performed six to fourteen weeks after a womans last period.

The procedure is called a suction aspiration. It is like a vacuum cleaner. A hollow plastic tube with a sharp edge is placed into the uterus.

The suction tears the baby apart, and the sharp edge is used to scrape the placenta from the wall of the uterus. Everything is sucked out into a bottle The other method is dilation and curettage.A curette, which is a loop-shaped steel knife, is inserted into the uterus, and the baby and the placenta are cut into pieces and scraped out. Another method that is not performed much anymore is the saline injection; a long slow death process of poisoning the baby. The saline injection was developed by the Nazi Concentration Camps.

The most controversial form of abortion is the partial-birth abortion. Using an ultra sound the abortionist grabs the babys legs with forceps and pulls them out into the birth canal. The abortionist then delivers the intire baby except for the head and continues by jamming scissors into the babys skull.

The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole. The scissors are removed and a suction is inserted. The babys brains are sucked out causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed. It has been proven that babies can feel pain in these procedures. The fetus can feel pain because it is alive and growing like a human. Abortion is wrong because it deprives the baby of rights and happiness because of the suffering it must go through during the abortion.

Women who have these painful abortions suffer emotional stress, and years after having the procedure they discover that they destroyed a human life. After 5-10 years 54 percent of mothers choosing abortion had nightmares and 96 percent felt they had taken a life. People need to listen to the women who have had abortions in the past to hear what they are really about. People can learn much more than a clinic can teach. After having an abortion, many women can tell a person the true factsabortion is killing a child. Recent evidence indicates many women harbor strong guilt feelings long after their abortions. Abortion lowers womens self-esteem and there are studies reporting a major loss of self-esteem in battering parents.

95 % of women who had abortions said their Planned Parenthood counselors gave little or no biological information about the fetus, which the abortion would destroy. Women need to be told the true facts of abortion. They need to see the fetal monitors. In many clinics they are not allowed to see the ultra sound. The doctors do not want a woman to see that the baby inside of here is alive. This is wrong because it not only denies the child the right to be heard and seen, it denies women the truth. The truth must be told and shown.

Abortion clinic staff members are taught how to sell abortions, told never to give alternatives; and told to tell the women how much trouble a baby is. Women are not told the facts. It is obvious from the ultra sound that the baby they are carrying is alive, and abortion kills the baby. If the clinic can clearly see that the baby is alive, the mother should also see. Abortion is described as a decision between women and her doctor.

Yet over 90 percent dont even see the doctor until he appears to abort their baby. This should not be the case. The clinics are hiding and withholding the true facts. In a 1973 court ruling, known as Roe v. Wade, abortion became legal. Since this ruling the number of teen pregnancies had increased from 4.

94 percent in 1972 to 9.92 percent in 1990. The number of teen abortions has doubled from 19.9 per thousand teenagers in 1972 to 43.

8 per thousand teenagers in 1990 while the number of teen births has increased from 22.8 to 42.5 per thousand. The number of births to unmarried women has increased 7.3 percent during the years from 1972 to 1990 while the number of abortions increased 11.

7 percent during those years. Abortion should not longer be legal. It is rapidly becoming a form of birth control. No longer must women worry about protection, if they should conceive a child, they can choose to take its life. One-third of all babies is aborted, which entitles the abortion industry to $500 million a year in income in the US. Abortion is the most frequent surgical operation in the US, and the leading cause of death in Minnesota.

Currently there are two million couples waiting for adoption in America, yet there are 30 abortions for every one adoption. There are arguments against the stopping of abortion. However, there are solutions. Many say abortion should be leg if the womans life is in danger.

Only three percent of all abortions are done for the mothers health, where 40 percent of women who have abortions will have more than one and 50 percent use it as their sole means of birth control. As for the argument that women will do them illegally in the back alleys endangering their lives, 72 percent said they would definitely not have sought an abortion if they were illegal, and death happens during a legal abortion too. Abortion is clearly taking a human life, an action that is wrong under the United States constitution. Women must stop being denied the facts and start being told the truth. The people of the US must start standing up for the rights of all people, born and unborn. People need to start caring for the women who are hurting as a result of an abortion, and women who are struggling over the decision.

People must tell them the facts, and work at making the conditions better for women, because 84 percent would keep their babies under better circumstances. America needs to open her ears to the screams of the 1.6 million babies murdered each year.Bibliography:
