If you stab somebody with a knife, you'll be arrested, tried and probably executed BUT if you teach him/her how to smoke, you can sell him/her different brands of cigarettes.
Nobody has the right to take another life for the simple fact that it cannot be replaced or compensated adequately(nowadays everything has a price
). However, we all have our heroes and our villians.
Abortion is just a part of the greater argument-"Whether human beings have the right to another's life?" If you can find the answer to the primary question, the controversy over abortion will be redundant.
It seems the answer lies within us...
Let us take this argument to the next level!
"Does any living thing have the right to kill another living organism?"
The whole argument is beginning to sound ridiculous...right?
It IS ridiculous and to deny pregnant mothers abortion and abolish the death sentence is, if not more, laughable!!
The issue here is not to prohibit abortion but to make pregnancy a responsibility, not a side-effect of a lucky encounter; to make people value and respect the life of a fellow human being and NOT condone those who treat it like a commodity.
You see, these policies are deterrants and guide us to be more responsible whether it be out of increased awareness or fear.
