Ethic blog 1---- Abortion

Ethics, in my opinion, is very critical which can decide right and wrong. However, some situations cannot simply defined into these two categories. For example, abortion. Nowadays, there are more and more unmarried female teenagers that have no choice but to get abortion. It is because of unsafe sex before marriage which is not encouraged. These teenage girls who under the pressure of discrimination of unequal treat have also no financial support. Some of them even criticized by their friends and family. Therefor, most of them choose to save their image and repair their relationship with people instead of keeping the infant. There are also some people that choose to give birth to the baby because this is more ethical- which most people think- and right way to do so. There comes with a dilemma of abortion ethical issue.

On the early aspect of religion, abortion is totally an unethical and sinful option because every infant is gift of god, a very pure and precious life. It is no difference with killing a human-being which life cannot be taken by anyone. In this new era, there are some different view on different religion. For example, Buddhist believe that abortion is acceptable if the life of mother is being threatened and modern Christian oppose deliberate abortion as immoral, which abortion should be approved or disapproved according to each circumstance. But some protestants who oppose abortion sometimes portray themselves as the only true Christians. There is a saying that the person who had an abortion will be sent to hell after lifetime, for those who are having strong religious believe.

Raping case in some places which is the most common case in India has caused many innocent females' pregnancy. As reports show that India has a really serious sexual violence problem. How could they raise a child when their spirit are ruined as well as mind? As long as the fetus is not grown more than three months, I am fully support with the abortion of these girls. They have no need to keep the infant. Study shows that there were 10,000 rape-caused pregnancies in the United States every year. Besides of rape-caused pregnancies, there is also incest-caused pregnancies. Abortion for incest is the despicable twin of abortion for rape. Pro-abortionists believe that a woman or girl can "erase" the child conceived of incest just as easily as she can "erase" a child of rape. Raping is never an ethical action but a forcible sex for innocent women who also do not expect for pregnancy so abortion is not unethical but a better choice.

Prostitution also causes unwanted pregnancy and miscarriage. Over two-thirds of the women in the Minneapolis/St. Paul study had an average of three pregnancies during their time in prostitution as study showed which they will perform abortion as well. But most prostitutes cannot afford to do it and they perform themselves which the fetus can be found in toilet and rubbish bin. It is a very unethical action in my opinion because fetus have to be buried well instead of simply be thrown. Also, health of the women will be affected because it is unhygienic when it is not performing under professional operation.

Besides that, there are also some cases such as abnormal infants. It is about the choice between late-term abortion and keeping an unhealthy foetus. Most pregnant women will choose to have an abortion although it is a very painful decision as this is what normally a doctor suggest. But there are also some exception which parents hope to continue pregnancy. Nick Vujicic, the famous motivational speaker in the world that without all four limbs, has now brought attention to the world to motivate and fight for the right of deformity. It also brings hope to parents who are having abnormal fetus and continue pregnancy instead of abortion. In my opinion, it is more suitable to terminate the pregnancy because deformity will be having difficulty in life especially in this competitive world as there is still no equal right for deformity now. Nick Vujicic is a very strong-faith, tough and optimistic person that success in what he is doing. This is a very rare case in reality. I do no think a man without arms and legs can actually survive in this world unless he has the same characteristic with Nick Vujucic. If I were facing this problem, I will choose to have abortion as well. I do not want my child suffer as it is also not fair for him.

I also think that, for any reason, the right of decision making should be fully taken by the mother. If they are not ready to be a mother and do not want to have a child, there is no reason to stop them from abortion because it is about the responsibility. No child should be raised up in an environment with no love. It is equal to destroy a person's life which is an indirect unethical action. So why would it make any difference with taken the life of the fetus at first? Therefore, everyone who does not want to have child should have a safe sex with right protection to avoid pregnancy and abortion. There is a term saying that "with great power comes great responsibility" which is suitable for every mother. I think every woman has a special power once she became a mother when raising a child is not an easy mission. As people said that mother and child have an unbroken connection so I will recommend woman who perform abortion pray for the unborn baby. It is to reduce the sin that stop a life and also to console own self. Abortion will always be the last choice if the infants are given good enough condition to be born. As we can see in undeveloped countries, there are people with no sex education, sex protection knowledge and advanced medical technology so that they force to give birth to baby even it is not their intention. It cause another serious problem which is great number of child death. In conclusion, if you choose not to have abortion, take the responsibility and love your child.
