0 00When it comes to the topic of abortion, it seems that much debate has taken place over the years to defend both sides.00 00Many have debated on the issue whether morality or immorality comes into action when debating about taking an innocent human beings life. 00On the pro choice side there is the argument of a mother’s right to chose what happens to her body.00 00On the pro life side, there is the argument of whether or not anyone should have the right stop a life. 00According to 01i00A Defense of Abortion02i00 written by Judith Thomson, “Most opposition to abortion relies on the premise that the fetus is a human being, a person, from the moment of conception. “00 00Given that, two very different topics will be discussed in this related matter.00 00First, young teen parents have abortions everyday because they are not prepared to raise a baby.00 00Second, is it okay for parents to abort their child if they are born with a life time disability?00 00Below I will thoroughly discuss the pros and cons of both instances.00 00Foremost, many would agree that a fetus is considered a human being.00 00However, some do not accept the fact that until there is an obvious entity of development there is no baby.00 00In my case, I truly believe that the moment the sperm enters the egg, it becomes conception; there is human life in the mother’s womb.00 00Don Marquis agrees in his article 01i00Why Abortion is Immoral02i00 by saying, “Life is present from the moment of conception or that fetuses look like babies or that fetuses possess a characteristic such as a genetic code that is both necessary and sufficient for being human” (767).00 00Who are we to determine whose life is worth keeping and whose is not?00In my first argument, I find it utterly upsetting when a young mother aborts her child because she is not “ready.”00 00Whether she is thirty-five or just fifteen she considered herself 01i00adult02i00 enough to consent to sexual intercourse, thus she should be 01i00adult02i00 enough to handle the consequences.00 00Statistics are dramatically rising in today’s world in addition to young teen mothers.00 00Everywhere you look another teen girl is pregnant.00 00I recall my senior year in high school and how shocked I was to see how many of my fellow graduates walked across that stage pregnant.00 00Not to mention my classmates who did not attend because they were home changing dirty diapers.00 00The results are staggering.00 00Looking at most recent statistics of teen girl pregnancies ranges into the hundred thousand.00 00To give a rough estimate according to year 2000, Nationalcampaign.org calculated 821,810 pregnant girls in the 00.00 00To be more specific, ages fifteen to seventeen ranged in 281,900 and eighteen to nineteen ranged in 539,910.00 00More and more young girls are taking the “easy” way out and getting rid of their unborn babies.00 00When they discover that they are with child, they realize that the burden of a baby is such a huge responsibility that they are not ready for the commitment physically or financially.00 00To raise a baby is not a cheap task.00 00Many different factors contribute to the upbringing of the infant and at many times is taken extremely lightly.00 00While reading the article by Judith Thomson one paragraph really stood out to me.00 00She was expressing how a fetus is not just a human being but a person who depends solely on the parent.00 00She writes “Opponents of abortion have been so concerned to make out the independent of the fetus, in order to establish that it has a right to life just as its mother does, that they have tended to overlook the possible support they might gain from making out that the fetus is dependent on the other, in order to establish that she has a special kind of responsibility of it, a responsibility that gives its right against her which are not possessed by any independent person..”00 00I never looked at it from that perspective.00 00She is absolutely correct when she voices that a baby is not an individual but rather a needy being.00 00Without assistance and nurture how will it survive?00My obvious solution for teen girls who 01i00accidentally02i00 get pregnant is to really think and examine the different possibilities that may arise through the consequences of having sex.00 00Not only should they consider it personally, but speak with their significant other and an adult in whom they trust.00 00Before having intercourse they should look into contraceptives whether they are condoms or the pill.00 00A more harsh punishment for young teens who are considering getting an abortion should be imprisonment.00 00If they go through with abortion, they are taking an innocent child’s life who did not ask to be born.00 00They are destroying someone’s life just because they had one night of fun.00 00Instead of being let off with a slap on the wrist they should be punished for their actions and taught the severity of the situation.00 00My second contrasting position on abortion is the complete opposite compared to my first opposition.00 00Is it wrong to take the life of an unborn child who is mentally ill?00 00Don Marquis points out, “The problem with narrow principles is that they often do not embrace enough.00 00Hence, the needed principles such as ‘It is prima facie seriously wrong to kill only persons’ or ‘It is prima facie wrong to kill only rational agents’ do not explain why it is wrong to kill infants or young children with severely retarded or even perhaps the severely mentally ill.”00 00He brings up a great point.00 00Thousands of children enter the world everyday with an illness that is incurable.00 00Using today’s latest technology, parents are able to see beforehand if their child is suffering from an illness or not.00 00This is called the First Trimester Screen.00 00The First Trimester Screen is a new optional non evasive evaluation that combines a maternal blood screening test with an ultrasound evaluation of the fetus to identify risks for specific chromosomal abnormalities including Down Syndrome Crisomi-21 and Crisomi-18.00 00Another possible abnormality may be CVS.00 00CVS or chorionic villus sampling is a diagnostic test for identifying chromosome abnormalities and other inherited disorders.00 00This test maybe recommended by your health care provided as family medical history if your partner has medical history that reveals potential risks” (americanpregnancy.org).00 00Given the option to see in advance if their unborn infant has a disability, would it be acceptable for the parents to choose to abort their baby?00 00This is a rather difficult choice to make when discussing in terms of acceptable or not acceptable.00 00Looking at the situation from the parents’ point of view, it is a helpful tool to have such knowledge ahead of time.00 00However, what if the fetus is born with a defect are they going to abort the baby?00 00Defect or not, the fetus is still their child.00 00The parents would have to make a challenging decision and live with it for the rest of their lives.00Being able to see the imperfections of your child ahead of time is a solution in itself.00 00However, it still leads to the question of whether or not aborting your child is justifiable or not.00 00With technology advancing everyday altering your fetus and their DNA ladder will soon become an option of the future and aborting for such reasons will become obsolete.00 00Conclusion??02br
