C. Saying the fetus is not a person does not make it so. D. The fetus has the nature of a human and is injured by killing. E. Does that mean the mother should have no feelings about the life that has been removed from her womb? If it isn't a person, then there should be absolutely no guilt at all with killing the life in the womb, correct? A. i. If you affirm that no guilt at all is necessary, then why do so many women have the feeling of guilt after an abortion? ii. Does abortion really leave the woman uninjured? Countless women are psychologically harmed when they kill the child in their womb. Rape is a condition that justifies abortion. A. Rape is horrible, but why should the child in the womb pay for the sins (wrong doing) of another? The baby is innocent of the offense, and his life need not be taken because of the act of another. To do this is unjust. B. If what is in the womb is human, then killing it because of the act of another would be wrong. To restrict a woman's right to choose is to deny her rights as a woman. A. This is a self-centered reason that ignores: i. The life in the womb is human in nature. ii. The woman has a responsibility to protect and guard life. iii. That it puts the woman's personal interests and comfort above the value of life of the baby. iv. That it is not denying a woman's rights anymore than not having the right to murder, steal, or lie. B. This is not denying a woman's rights anymore than prohibiting her from murdering, stealing, or perjury is denying her rights. C. Rights come with responsibilities. Choosing to kill another is a great responsibility that needs to be taken seriously. This is why we have trials. i. However, in the womb, no trial is necessary; just the desire of the mother to take the life that is growing in her womb. There are too many people in the world. A. Since when does the value of human life depend upon how many people there are? Besides, if the number of people is the issue, maybe they should start getting rid of the sick and old. Maybe they should get rid of those who aren't intelligent or good looking. Where will it stop? Abortion is legal; therefore, it is okay. A. Slavery was legal 150 years ago, but that did not make it right. B. Just because something is legal doesn't make it right. We don't know exactly when the fetus becomes human in the womb, so we can abort it. A. If you do not know when it becomes human, then should you risk killing it since it might very well be human -- since you don't know? B. If there were 500 pills on a table and one of them was a deadly poison, would you randomly take one of the pills and swallow it? Why not? After all, you don't know which is the poison, so you can take the chance and not worry about it, right? Likewise, if there is a chance that the life is human, should you take the risk of killing it?
