Nobody in this blue planet would love to see it turn red. Seeing other people killing other people is such a distasteful scenario. Same as with people killing a life inside a womb.

Abortion is an induced termination of pregnancy and expulsion of a baby that is incapable of survival. Abortion is a murder. Abortion is an alternative. No matter how experts or even ordinary people try to find not so harsh words to define Abortion, no Thesaurus or Dictionary can possibly do it. And no amount of intelligence in this world can depict how pitiable are those who discontinue a future of an innocent being, waiting to be nurtured. 

Abortion is such a rampant solution to many couples just to escape from the consequence of their pathetic action. This problem has many roots as well as effects.

            Initially, it starts with the family. I don’t know if I’m in the position to say this but I believe that improper upbringing of the elders somewhat cause the child to discover the things parents must be the ones to edify into their minds. Moreover, if the child knows what is right, as instilled by their elders, they would also know how to act accordingly as they grow, fall in love, have a family and become full member of our so-called society. That we must realize.

            There are many different ways an abortion can be performed. Different methods are used under different circumstances and after different developments of the embryo or fetus. No method of abortion is 100% safe, and no method is 100% successful.

            Abortion, in some form, has existed in the human race for millennia. Ancient tribes would sometimes be forced to move quickly, and pregnant women could slow the entire tribe down. Abuse of the woman's abdomen, and later abuse through excessive horseback riding, could cause the baby to be born prematurely. This baby was then either killed or left to die. Unfortunately, the mother also frequently died during the birthing. Today abortion is much safer for the mother, but just as deadly to the child.

            In other cultures the question of the legality of abortion varied, however there was a general theme. Unborn life was seen to be the equal of born life. For ancient cultures there are logical and non-moral explanations for this trend. Hundreds or thousands of years ago there were no pregnancy tests and no tools to perform early-term abortions. By the time an abortion was performed, the baby was delivered, premature but alive. The abortion process would be completed by infanticide of a born child.

            How dreadful is this?

            Congressional and senate sessions in many parts of the world still has opposing views when it comes to agreeing or debunking the idea of abortion. Too bad because there are some states in the US wherein abortion was legalized as to some parts of China just to realize their 1 child per family policy. Since the legalization, child abuse, illegal abortion, and teen pregnancy rates have all sharply increased.

            Where are the moral and ethical values? Obviously it’s missing. But then again, trying to analyze the current situation of many countries right now, including the Philippines, there’s a great need to reanalyze the worldview of the humankind. What is really our purpose in life? Is it to kill or to provide life? Remember that we’ll soon be parents. Then we’ll know the answer.
