Views on Abortion

1) I stand on the Pro-life side on abortion because abortion is like killing babies, people won't have to take responsibility for their actions, and employers will take advantage of pregnant ladies that want to reach the top of their career. Life begins at conception so aborting is considered killing because there is a human in the belly already. If abortion is made an option and a girl gets pregnant because she wasn't being responsible then she will just abort, not taking responsibility for her actions. Also if a lady gets pregnant while trying to reach the top of her career the employer will consider aborting instead of enforcing the maternity leave laws.


2) "If you voluntarily act in a way that brings about the existence of a person or a fetus, then you have a responsibility to maintain the life of that person or fetus."



3) I agree with this statement because the person has to take responsibility for their actions. If the person didnt want to get pregnant then they should have taken better care. Since a foetus is a human, the person has to take responsibility over it and abortion isn't considered "being responsible".


4)"This right to life seems to flow from the potential that the newborn has to become a 'moral person', and this in turn seems to support the argument that a potential 'moral person' has the right to life."


5) This quote is trying to say that the fetus will turn into a newborn and then it will become an adult. Since the fetus is going to turn into an adult then it is human. All humans have the right to life including the fetus since it is a potential person.
