after the US Supreme Court’s 7-2 decision on Roe v.
abortion !
Wade declared the procedure a “fundamental right” on
Jan. 22, 1973.
Proponents, identifying themselves as pro-
choice, contend that abortion is a right that should not be
limited by governmental or religious authority, and
which outweighs any right claimed for an embryo or
fetus. They argue that pregnant women will resort to
unsafe illegal abortions if there is no legal option.
A fetus is not a human being. Abortion is
terminating a pregnancy, not a baby. Personhood at
conception is not a proven biological fact. Personhood
begins at birth. Fetuses are incapable of feeling pain
when an abortion is performed according to Stuart W. G.
Derbyshire, PhD, Senior Lecturer at the University of
Birmingham (England).
Access to legal, professionally-performed
abortions reduces injury and death caused by unsafe
illegal abortions. The World Health Organization
estimated in 2006 that “back-alley” abortions cause
68,000 maternal deaths each year in countries where
abortion is not legal.
Modern abortion procedures are safe. The risk
of a woman’s death from abortion is less than one in
100,000. Whereas the risk of a woman dying from giving
birth is 13.3 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies.
Opponents, identifying themselves as pro-life,
assert that personhood begins at conception, and
therefore abortion is the immoral killing of an innocent
human being. They say abortion inflicts suffering on the
unborn child, and that it is unfair to allow abortion when
couples who cannot biologically conceive are waiting to
adopt.
Unborn babies are innocent human beings from
the moment of conception. They have a fundamental
right to life, which must be protected. Fetuses feel pain
during an abortion according to Kanwaljeet J. S. Anand,
MBBS, DPhil, Professor of Pediatrics, Anesthesiology
and Neurobiology at the University of Tennessee Health
Science Center.
Moreover the Declaration of Independence
states that “All men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Cons
Most people cannot resist shopping when they
have a credit card in their hands. Shopping on impulse
and buying unwanted things is one of the chief problems
with a credit card. As a result a lot of people end up with
credit card debt and as a result of this, they end up with
bad credit. If you default on payments, you will be
charged late fees and the interest rates also keep
mounting. Eventually the amount can inflate to a huge
amount that is almost double the original amount that
you borrowed. Hence it is crucial that you only spend as
much as you can afford with your credit card. If you are
giving your kid a credit card, make sure that you monitor
his/her purchases. Having a preset credit limit for your
card is also one of the better ways to use a credit card. A
student or a kid with a credit card often needs credit card
help from parents.
