I.INTRODUCTION

Today abortion is a big issue concerning women because for years it had been said
that abortion should not be legal. Many people feel abortion an unwanted child or
killing an unwanted child should be against the law.

Our popularity is extremely high and it continue to rise. Many unwanted or

unplanned pregnancy has been solved by Abortion. Abortion by definition means
removing the fetus or embryo from the woman's womb before it can live outside the
uterus. The issue has been controversial over the world for many years. Many
people against it while people saying it is the right of the woman to choose wether
to keep the baby or eradicate them. I believe that abortion is the murder of innocent
lives,therefore,means it is against the law.

II.BODY

COUNTERCLAIM:

Abortion is the worst thing a woman can do against human dignity. It is a crime
against life. No woman has the right to kill a new living being.many countries ban
abortion and many institution fight against it.Abortion is immoral and it should not
be legalized.

According to Aileen Grace Delima January 18, 2008 BIO 199 Abortion in the
philippines: reasons and responsibilities abortion is a controversial issue but it
should be discussed because it is happening,and is more widespread than we care to
admit. If we truly care about life,then we must understand what is going on(Tan
2008).ideally pregnancy is wanted and happy event for women,their partners,and
their families. Unfortunately, this is not always so.

"If we took a moment silence for each person lost to abortion,we should be silent for
over one-hundred years"-Frank Pavone.So many people have been murdered before
they get a chance to live and i think that it's well past time for the number to stop
going up.

ARGUMENT
Assertion of claim no.1
If ever abortion will be legalized,it could provide safety because
wocan can receive the proper health care required to make
sure they are safe snd don't sustain any life threatening from
unprofessional.
RESPONSE
If we can see the side effect of this I disagree with all of this
point.it might be the mother's individual right to decide if she
wants an abortion but what about the individual rights of the
unborn child?People can't use their rights to take away the
rights of the others.When people say that it's not a person that
their killing.Just a clump of cells,they sre being extremely
naive.it might not be a formed human yet.but it will be. From
the moment that the baby is conceived, it is a prison.
Assertion of claim no 2
If abortion will be legalized our natural right will be ignored
which is the right to live and promote and protect
life,However,Choosing abortion is the right thing to do for
those who are a force in childbirth.
RESPONSE

Yet why do some women or even young ladies abort such a

beautiful thing? Lust is a word that can be interconnected with
this matter. Some say the baby is "just a mistake" but the baby
is not the mistake, rather, they are the ones. If they hadn't
gone overboard and do things that they are still notready yet,
then why go with the flow with it?
Assertion of claim no.3
Abortion shoud be legal in the philippines especially for those
victims of rape,incest,sex outside of marriage,and other causes
of unwanted pregnancies. Those woman who aren't prepared to
become a mother or their partner let them and them nothing
else to supply baby's need.
RESPONSE
Nowadays, All over the world couples at a young age sleep
with their partner in the same bed and it caused pregnancy
and they can't take or expect the baby that is why they do
abortion.

III.CONCLUSION

Therefore, I believe that abortion is murder. There are no special cases if you get
pregnant you are meant to have a child. Even in cases where the mother is claimed
terminal if she goes through th birth. People can live when they are claimed terminal, it
might be a low chance that you survive but wouldn't you rather take the chance for the
saken of your unborn child? Abortion should be illegal wether the woman was raped,got
pregnant too young, or just doesn't want to have a child because you don't think you're
ready. You can always put the baby up for an Abortion so they can go live with a family
that will care for them. When you abort your unborn child you are killing a person that is
half of you. Do you want to kill the part of you? Help stop these murders, it well past
time for these innocent lives to be saved from the cruelty.

Do women have the right to steal the life of a new living being? Killing a person is
illegal, so why should fetal murder be legal? Tou have to ask yourself theses questions
and realize that when a woman aborts,she is acting like any other murderer. I discovered
that begins at the moment of conception in the mother's uterus, therefore abortion end
human life and should be punishable by law. As well, nine short months of pregnancy is
a small cost for life without physical and health problems think about it.
