Abortion nowadays has become a frequent practice for teenagers who have undergone premarital sex to alleviate the problems and burdens of having a baby. According to the American Heritage Dictionary (n.d.), abortion terminates the pregnancy by removing the baby within the uterus of the mother, thus causing the baby’s death. Abortion was practiced for a very long time with the use of herbal medicine, sharpened tools designed for abortion, physical trauma and surgical methods. Although some believe that it is the right of the mother to decide the destiny and fate of their child, abortion is still considered as immoral and illegal because it is a form of murder by taking the life of the baby with medical practices, all human beings have the right to live and it is the responsibility of the mother not to get pregnant.
First of all, abortion is a form of murder because you are taking the life of the baby without their consent. Any form of killing is still considered as murder since they involve taking the life of another human being. There are no exemptions for cases like these and any act of intentional murder should be punishable bylaw. Even though it is still not developed into mature human beings, a fertilized ovum is still a human being. God gave us he blessing of life and we have no right to end it as it just started.
Second, all human beings have the right to live. According to William Thomas (n.d.), whatever the stage the babies might be in, whether in the fertilized stage or in the zygote stage, they still possess life as well as rights as every human being is against the teachings and beliefs of the Catholic Church as well as most of the other religions. It is immoral to kill innocent children and unfair to not let them have the chance to lead normal lives. And we should not also abuse the power and capacity of women to produce life because abortion can permit more occurrences of premarital and unsafe sex.
Lastly, it is the responsibility of the mother to avoid getting pregnant. Teenage women should think first before they act so they will not have regrets in the future. Blaming the child for their misery is not a valid reason since the child does not have the option to choose to be born. Teenager should have the proper morals and values and should be the one to blame for the conception of the child. It is not the baby’s fault for being conceived; it is the parent who did not act accordingly to what they are expected to do. The mother has the decision to choose not to get pregnant by using contraceptives or just simple prevention from engaging in sexual intercourse.
Abortion should not be legalized since it is not a desirable planning method to use. It is a form of murder since you are taking the life of another against their wishes, and thus should be also punishable by law just like the rest of the crimes committed by others. Babies have the right to live since they are human beings as well. It is the responsibility of the mother to not get pregnant since they are expected to think before they engage themselves in unacceptable acts such as premarital sex. Abortion therefore should be an unforgivable practice to the eyes of people as well as God Himself.

Argumentative Essays are one of my favorite since these essays clearly state where your strongest opinion’s side of the topic lies. I did not find it hard to state my side, which is Anti, and defend it to the PRO side of Abortion because I am well-informed concerning this topic and I really have strong feelings for opposing Abortion. I am very satisfied with what I composed but I could have stated more examples of arguments and situations that can strongly oppose Abortion further to persuade the readers.
