Abortion, Should It Be Permitted?
 
By Park Ji-Hee("Alice")

  There is operation equipment that goes into a woman's womb. Already, an unborn child has life, but the head is broken by a deadly weapon and the body is torn asunder. The life tries to avoid the weapon; however, an unborn child is silently killed by another person. This is an abortion. Generally, many hospitals carry them out. We know that hospitals save the lives of people, so it is full of inconsistencies. Lots of people think that it is labor for the public good. For example, an abortion prevents increase in population indiscreetly, and babies born unlucky do not receive enough love. Also, they'll make social problems. This is the reason that abortion is accepted, but we can see their thoughtlessness.
  First, abortion supporters ignore the dignity of life. Even a three month-old unborn child will try to avoid operation equipment. At this moment, we know that an unborn child has a clear consciousness and is a human being. Abortion supporters think that an unborn child can't feel pain, so they cruelly kill a life of innocence. They have a selfish view and ignore the dignity of life.
    Second, we often don't attempt find solutions to societal problems; rather, we use abortion to solve society's problems. Except in the case where a woman's health is in mortal danger, abortion should not be permitted. The targets of most abortions are fetuses with abnormal parents and bad social environments, but we have to find a better way to prevent the unhappiness of an unborn child and society. Accordingly, we have to make a clear abortion law, raise social consciousness, increase family planning, and most importantly, change peoele's thinking. If we did these things, the need for abortion would disappear.
  Finally, many adults have little understanding of the present teenagers. Adults must realize that teenagers these days are different from adults. Some middle school students and high school students have sexual intercourse without knowing what is awaiting them if the girl gets pregnant. I believe that this ignorance is caused by the lack of sex edution. Although they might be concerned about pregnancy, they think there is a simple operation to get rid of babies-- abortion.
  In conclusion, I think that an abortion ignores the dignity of life, so I can never approve of abortion. If it is accepted, I think the morals of society will decrease.
