Abortion-NOT an Option

Eric Cooper
When people abort their babies they are really killing am innocent human being. God created that little life. He did not create the baby just so it would be killed before it saw God's world.

Some people abort their children because the doctors say there is going to be something physically wrong with them. Even when that happens they should not abort the baby because God makes every human being the way he is for a reason. I personally know of an example of someone who's mother was told that she would need to abort her child or else she and the baby would die. She decided against the abortion because she believed that abortion is NOT an option. Today, her son is now around seventy years of age, and she recently passed away around the age of ninety. If she had aborted her child she would not have known several of her grandchildren and even some of her great-grand-children.

Not only does abortion take away pleasant memories, but it is actually against everything that God teaches. God lets people have children so people can know the pleasures of rearing and nurturing them in the way the should go. In Psalm chapter one hundred twenty-seven verse three the Bible says " Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord and the fruit of the womb is his reward." This means that children are a gift from God and we should cherish the time God gives us with children. When people abort children they are actually throwing away their heritage of the Lord.

Some people say that abortion is the mother's right to choose. That is a wrong view because, as I have already pointed out, that child is a life. He already has a brain, mouth, nose, and most of his physical features before the time most babies are aborted. Another reason why that is a wrong perspective is that, again, God created that life, and it is actually His. He is just letting the parent take care of him for a while.

Another way to put what I'm trying to say is, even though the government says abortion is okay that doesn't make it right. Abortion is NEVER right, no matter what the circumstances are. Abortion was never meant to be, and if the doctors tell you that if you do not abort your child you an the child will die just remember the story of the man in this article. It is really a true story.

    Just so you know I published an article addressing some of the questions. Please read "Questions About Abortion." You can get to it by my CP page.

    whether you believe the Bible or not. It is still a life. You do not just kill anyone you do not want around, whether they are a part of you or not.

    Great writing, especially for a 14 year old. You will be one great adult and you seem to already have many of the morals it takes to survive in this world. All of my children were surprises. Every single one was conceived with a different method of birth control (all used properly) and I never once thought about aborting them. It is simply not an option. If you cannot take care of a child, I would suggest adoption. When people have sex they know that a baby could result. It is not that baby's fault if he or she is unwanted. It is the fault of the parents for making that baby with no intention of letting him or her survive. The least they could do is carry the baby to term. I have an abortion article coming soon as well. It's not that I don'yt sympathize with the people in the situation of bearing a child at the wrong time because I do. I was one myself. But, I just feel people should stop using abortion as a choice because thre really is no choice there. It's a life, whether you belie

    I disagree with your position, but you've written a good article. ;)

    The fetus is inside the Mothers body, therefore it's her choice. Period.

    This is not a GOD issue, if GOD was really against murder there would be no war, no violence. PERIOD. This is a property issue. Look a fetus, is only half of the mother's property. Unless she produces it herself, and solely by herself with no sperm whatsoever...or manifests one of her eggs to become life herself then and only then is it 100% her creation.

    Keep up the good work! I agree with you there.

    Abortion is an option..legally speaking. What does God have to do with whether or not a woman has a right to choose?

  • Shelly E5/20/2007
