Life begins at conception and the arguments against it is simple brutality. Many women who end up getting abortions because of stigmatization of parenthood in general. People nowadays feel children are a nucence rather than a great thing. For the rare cases that women are impregnated through rape, it is still immoral to murder a child for the crimes of the father. For financial issues for parents it is always possible to put the child up for adoption, even if foster homes may be flawed, saving the child’s life is far better than killed. Most women who get abortions may not even know or… Read more fully understand the barbaric process of ripping a child limb by limb while it may have developed nerve endings (depending on how far along is the pregnancy) and be able to feel pain like any other human. Most abortions done are out of laziness of taking care of a child and the selfish sense of self-pride. The argument “my body my choice” is a weak statement to say the least. The unborn child is its own separate organism, reliant on the mother for survival. This doesn’t change even after birth because the children still need care after birth until they are adults. With that logic it would be ok to murder children after birth, obviously being illegal and despicable. The acceptance of abortion and the catering to the self has brought the need to only satisfy one’s self without the consideration of who it is harming in the process.

The "baby" is a cell at conception and doesn't become a person until much later down the line. It is not brutality to extract a cell from a person who, most likely, is not capable/ not ready for a person to take care of. Unfortunately, most women who are raped through penetration do/ have a high possibility to be pregnant. A rapist is not a father, he is simply a criminal and the woman, a victim, should not be held responsible for a crime committed against her. The foster care/ adoption system is so deeply flawed that it causes much more trauma to a child than most people reali… Read moreze. There are simply too many children in foster care and not enough adopters of older children or social workers. So, many children are neglected by their social workers and quite possibly their foster parents. This isn't even the federal system that is deeply flawed because there are private adoption associations that discriminate against children of certain races and backgrounds. Some also are allowed to discriminate against parents of certain races and backgrounds because they are deemed "not ideal." Not to mention how rich people have to be to adopt and the fact that foster parents do not need to be the same level. Both of which are a problem in their own regards and are a part of a much larger issue. When people claim that abortion is "barbaric" and describe the procedure as a dramatized murder when it is an extremely careful surgery when done by the right people. The true "barbaric" acts of abortion are those that cause the mother to harm herself because of the stigma of abortion. The idea of it that is portrayed as "the devil is going to eat your babies and rip it personally out of you." Which is obviously not true. I believe that this self-pride is actually more found in those who choose to carry a child to term. Most people who choose to get an abortion have actually stated how emotionally taxing the decision is for them. Its honestly lazier to willingly carry a child to full term because the adoption system exists. This is not to condemn women to choose not to abort because being pro-choice mean you can do either. The issue that arises is when they push their personal choice onto other people considering abortion. Most pro-life arguments are so extremist because obviously those who are pro-choice are aware that murdering children after birth is illegal and disgusting. However, abortion clinics aren't rippling full, breathing babies outside of wombs. After all, you cannot abort after a certain amount of time and that period of time is when the "baby" is a cell that has no agency, autonomy, or awareness of what is going on. They don't think and are not a person. The acceptance of abortion is liberating and decreasing the number of children who are neglected/ mothers who die by self-abortion/ who are killed by partners who do not want the baby.

The fertilized egg, or zygote, is indeed a single cell at conception, but it rapidly divides and by the end of the first month of gestation, the embryo has a heartbeat and brain activity can be detected by the sixth week. This rapid development might challenge the notion that the fetus is just a "cell" for a significant portion of the pregnancy.

Regarding the adoption system, it is indeed fraught with issues and requires reform. However, it's worth noting that there are also many success stories and children who find loving homes through this system. The answer to a flawed syst… Read moreem should be to improve it, rather than resorting to a different solution which could be seen as equally, if not more problematic, depending on one's perspective.
