ABORTION
Introduction

There are many arguments that have spread insistently, especially in those countries where, for any reason, try to seek the legalization of abortion or extend it where already legalized some form.
* Devine, Philip E. The Etics of Homicide. Ithaca: Coronell University press, 1978. Devine´s book is a Professional philosophical Treatment of the issues. He argues for aprohibition against homicide that covers infants and the unborn child from a short time after conception.
10 arguments against abortion
1. Since life begins at conception, abortion is similar to murder because it is the act of taking human life. Abortion is a direct challenge to the commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of human life
2. No civilized society permits one human to intentionallyharm or take the life of another human being without punishment, and abortion is no different.
3. Adoption is a viable alternative to abortion and accomplishes the same result. And with 1.5 million American families who wish to adopt a child, there is no such thing as an unwanted child.
4. An abortion can result in medical complications later in life, the risk of ectopic pregnancies doubles, andthe possibility of a miscarriage and pelvic inflammatory disease also increases.
5. In the case of rape and incest, proper medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant. Abortion punishes the unborn child who committed no crime, but it is the author who must be punished.
6. Abortion should not be used as another form of contraception.
7. For women who demand complete control oftheir body, control should include preventing the risk of unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of contraception or, if this is not possible, through abstinence.
8. Many Americans who pay taxes are opposed to abortion, and it is morally wrong to use tax dollars to fund abortion.
9. Those who choose abortions are often minors or young women with insufficient life experience to fullyunderstand what they are doing. Many have lifelong regrets afterwards.
10. Abortion frequently causes intense pain and psychological stress.
