Abortion

Junior High Prose

     We all know that abortion is a willful termination of a pregnancy. The question at hand is: Is abortion right?

     Teenagers who make a mistake often turn to abortion as a convenient way to solve their problem. They argue that a fetus is just a piece of tissue so therefore it is not alive. That reasoning is wrong. The fetus is alive and has the vital signs to prove it. Because this is true the parents have the responsibility of taking care of their child. If, however, they are incapable of taking care of the child, there are alternative options. Adoption is one of theses options. If a child is adopted they are placed in a home, not their own, so that they can be taken care of.

     I believe that abortion is wrong because you are killing an innocent child. How can the people who abort their children sleep, knowing that the blood of an innocent child is on their hands? I believe that abortion should be outlawed. Abortion is murder.
