Essay / Persuasive Essay on Abortion - 718
Alongside this, we all share certain key principles/norms and among them is “the right to live”. Murder is considered illegal because it goes against this widely accepted norm and ends life. This is where a dilemma is created in which abortion is a form of murder, therefore it also infringes on the right to life. According to Don Bekich, the outline of Don Marquis' article explains why abortion is immoral because "not only does abortion end life, but it also deprives the child of a future and dreams like ours” (http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/SocialSciences/ppecorino/MEDICAL_ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_8_Abortion/Reading_Marquis_What_Abortion_Immoral.htm). As individuals, we all went through a similar process of conception and have the same possibilities from the moment we are born. So isn’t an unborn child supposed to have the same opportunities? Regardless of religious beliefs, it is undeniable that abortion, due to its murderous nature, is one of the most immoral acts a human being can experience.
