Abortion: The Right To Choose

Pro-choice does not mean Pro-abortion, it is the right in choosing whether

to reproduce, adopt, or abort. It is every human being's right to make their

own decisions, and so it is a woman's right to make the choices that affect

her life as she see's morally right. It is a woman's right to choose what she

does with her body and it should not be altered or influenced by anyone

else. Abortion is not murder because it is not taking the life of an actual

human being an actual human being. Asking a woman to sacrifice her life

for an embryo, is not upholding the right to life that Pro-life activists so whole

heartily believe in, rather it is condemning her to sacrifice her life for

something that is not yet human.

Abortion deals with a woman's private life. The Constitution grants every

citizen of the United States the freedom to make their own choices as they

see morally right, as long as it does not violate any laws. The ninth

amendment states: " The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights,

shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

(United States Constitution) This right guarantees the right to women, if they so

choose, to have an abortion. Regardless the morals of others, a woman has

the right to do as she see fit according to her own beliefs. A woman's body is

hers and hers alone, no one has the right to make her do something that she

does not want to. Abortion deals with a woman's private life.

Murder is defined as "unlawfully killing a human being". A fetus is not a

human being. It is not a being, it is a potential human being. A fetus is not

yet a baby, it is human tissue. It does not posses the criteria of what we

understand living human beings to have. It is not conscious, it does not

possess self-awareness, it cannot communicate nor can it reason.

Never mind the vicious nonsense of claiming that an embryo has a 'right to life.' A piece of protoplasm has no rights--and no life in the human sense of the term. An embryo has no rights. Rights do not pertain to a potential, only to an actual being. A child cannot acquire any rights until it is born. The living take precedence over the not-yet-living (or the unborn) body?
