IV - CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH

There is a chance that abortion will join the conversation when one speaks of teenage
pregnancy. With many teens progressively becoming pregnant at a young age, many young
couples chose to abort in order to get away from the obligations of becoming a young parent.

The main point when it comes to abortion is the definition of life, whether or not
abortion may be considered a murder of a human soul. The right to live has always been
replicated in the Ten Commandments and in the teachings of other religions. No one is
excluded from the value of life, whether the subject is a fetus or something with a life-like
animal. Pro-life groups, under the guidance of the Catholic Church and other religious
figures, emphasize that a human embryo, no matter how strong it may be.

Religion has a critical role to play in this matter. Religions have parallels to their idea of
the value of life; views differ whether a fetus may be considered a soul or a mortal sin to kill
a fetus with force. In Islam, the doctrine tells Muslims that after 120 days of the creation of
the fetus in the womb, the soul is ensouled. If the mother chooses to abort the child after 120
days of ensoulment, Islam sees it as a mortal sin that is more heinous than to commit an act
before the 120 days are over. On the other hand, the ensoulment of the fetus occurs in the
Roman Catholic Church after 16 weeks of the creation of the fetus. Ensoulment may be said
to have ended until the mother experiences the first movement of the fetus. This particular
conviction was revised in the 1869 amendment of the teachings of the Church on life.
Christianity also views abortion as a double sin, which encompasses two commandments.
Christianity teaches that a person who commits or undergoes abortion not only takes away
the life of the fetus, but is also subject to life without hope of salvation. This stance has
retained its position as the ultimate rebuttal of Christianity when it argues against the
legalization of abortion. Judaism, too, follows the claims of Christianity.

As far as the stance of the Church is concerned, many pro-life proponents remember
that the fetus is a completely human being at the moment of conception. In this case, it is then
the responsibility of the parent or of any responsible adult to ensure that the fetus does not
cause harm, regardless of the quality of life of the parents. Patrick Lee, a well-known pro-life
advocate and one of the main supporters of the fetal personality argument, summarized the
debate with the use of syllogism: the deliberate killing of an innocent child is often morally
incorrect. Abortion is the deliberate murder of an innocent person. Thus, abortion is still
morally wrong. Pro-life proponents further explain that human life starts shortly after
conception, as soon as the sperm chromosomes of the father and the mother's ovum join to
form the child's embryo. They also add that the genetic makeup of an individual is already
dependent on the time of conception. As it is organized by gestation, the genetic framework
is now programming the development of the individuality of the individual. From this point
on, life within the womb is as precious as human life. While arguments pertaining to
ensoulment differ, pro-life claims that by evaluating the conception of a human child within
the womb of a woman, it is important that people do not behave immorally and irrationally
towards the fetus, because it is an innocent and sacred life.
 Teenage mothers face numerous challenges during and after pregnancy, including
increased risk of mental disorders and depression and increased levels of stress affecting their
parenting and child care. Apart from that, they often need to face social exclusion, which is
why a significant number of young mothers never take the second and third doses of their
child to prevent social prejudice. For the same reason, a number of adolescent mothers prefer
to give birth at home, increasing the risk of complications that may even cost them their own
lives and/or their own lives. Of course, inequality and very few youth-parenting programs are
not enough to meet the needs of all teenage mothers, mostly due to lack of resources.

In conclusion, I support abortion and the requirement for parental consent for minors to
be subject to the procedure. Here are the following reasons for this:

(1) To save the lives of women

(2) To preserve their physical and psychological health;
(3) Consider the decision of the parents on their minor children
(4) Have parental consent in the case of a minor seeking abortion.
(5) To allow women freedom of choice;

The key cause of conflict between these two classes of people is the implementation of
ethical theories. As mentioned above, pro-life supporters cling to absolutism, while
pro-choice supporters believe in normative relativism and totalitarianism.

When it comes to policy and making action, the government should aim to provide the
requisite abortion facilities for women who want abortion.
