There are some religious groups who say that abortion is like murder. They do not realize that sometimes, the pregnancy is not ideal for the mother. Can abortion still be murder when the mother is carrying the possible son or daughter of a rapist? Will it still be a murder if carrying the child might kill the mother in the process?
There are various reasons why women would like to undergo an abortion. It is not only because of irresponsibility and not knowing the consequences of their actions. The laws on abortion will always be confusing. People will always have different opinions on it. I think that abortion is different from killing an unborn child because the reasons are different.
Abortion is killing an unborn child. A child may not look like a child yet during his first weeks in the mother’s womb but it is still a child. A 2-month old fetus may already start to form eyes and other body parts. The fact cannot be denied also that the fetus is alive. It is different when the child is killed when it is born.
This is one practice that is being done in other countries and by different abortionists because they are frustrated how the aborted children are able to survive. There are some reports of children left to drown in water so that it would be killed.
