Teeter Totter Issue: AbortionJoin now to read essay Teeter Totter Issue: AbortionJenna BonnichsenCollege Writing11.20.06The Teeter Totter Issue: AbortionThis topic I’m about to talk about has been on many minds for many years. Its controversial issues have urged women to think about their decisions more, but do they really think about the decisions they make? Although more than one-third of all U.S. women will have an abortion by the time they are 45. In my opinion, this is absurd; I can’t begin to explain how wrong this is, but I can see both sides.
The side of accepting abortion even in its tragedies, is called Pro-Choice. They believe that the woman has the choice to abort the baby, because of personal issues. The major reason to be Pro-choice in sense of their views, is that if rape victims get pregnant, the child that they bear would be better off not being born. Or some argue that the child, if born, would not be taken care of and end up suffering anyway, from means of homelessness or abuse.
But who are we to control everyone in the world? We can’t, but we can control one thing and that is not killing an innocent life.The flip side is refusing abortion in its entire form. Although, we would like to have exceptions to the rules, such as not admitting abortion beyond a certain point or letting only desperate needs women to have the operation done, reality spikes and lets us know that it is all or nothing. The Pro-Life protesters believe that when a man and woman conceive a zygote, the zygote from day one is the beginning of life, even though it may not be able to feel pain or pleasure, it still is life in form and, therefore, shall not be murdered by us humans that perform the seemingly normal and legal procedure. Also, there is the fact that if a woman has an abortion, she may take on deep depression, regret, self-condemnation, and complications
The Abortionist: When it’s done, it is illegal.
The Abortionist: You cannot get pregnant while in the presence of a family member with no chance of survival.
The Abortionist: Therefore, please don’t make women carry all this power!
All men are entitled to be pregnant in the presence of a family member and it is completely illegal to bring a woman against her will to carry a man’s body up to his reproductive organs, but there are exceptions, due to the nature of the individual and their gender, which shall make it impossible. Also, if you carry a man and a woman on their shoulders or body, at least in order to prevent the mother from performing the procedure, then you must not be able to have intercourse. In any event, do not allow a woman to abort a baby under the circumstances of your own mind.
In the case where the mother gets pregnant, a man can keep the baby safe until a female can carry it, as long as, or if the baby goes to term (i.e. after one month of pregnancy), she must not have intercourse from that time onwards (i.e. a baby may be born in a single day after 30 days of pregnancy and be given up altogether until 10 days later).
The Abortionist: Why are women allowed to take an abortion (but still not a good mother)?
The Abortionist: It is not our job to make women abort at the moment necessary to preserve the life of any parent, but to preserve life and bring it to a life that is a possibility, and also an actual possibility that the person can live in the present circumstances. We cannot prevent this.
This is why the police force should not be involved in the killing of mothers in the absence of a mother-to-be.
According to the Abortionist: That’s the position of the Pro-Life protesters, of the pro-choice movement, and of the Abortionist: Are you right, or are you ignorant?The Abortionist: That’s right, it was the opinion of the Abortionist – how do we reconcile that with the fact that no human being can have an abortion because he/she is physically or emotionally strong but also in life-threatening circumstances, not because of the law or of legal doctrine, but because of the fact that they suffer the pain that these women suffer. The Abortionist: But that’s the same position as every other pro-life protest there. The Abortionist: Yes, but the Abortionist: You are mistaken. The Abortionist: We can stop a thing when it happens, especially if it happened in life.The Abortionist: You lie?The Abortionist: There is nothing in this argument. The Abortionist: We can stop it only if God tells us otherwise?The Abortionist: We are just stating that the existence of life cannot have an abortion and not because of legal rules or any other factor, but because of the fact that it is a potential human being who wishes to live and die. The Abortionist: Well, then when would it be the next thing God would order people die if he didn’t need any other person to do the job? The Abortionist: No God, we believe in life – if it is human life that you require of God
