Why Is Abortion Detrimental to Society?

In 1976 a young woman found out that she was going to have a baby. For various reasons this woman decided that she should have an abortion. She went into the clinic and had the abortion done, but it did not work. Instead she gave birth to a baby girl named Gianna. Gianna has now grown up, and she knows that she would not be alive today if that abortion had worked. She also knows that there are many babies who are not alive today because of they were victims of abortion. She knows that it is time to end abortion and she is working towards that goal. You also need to take action and join the fight to stop abortion. If nothing is done, it will hurt us in the end.
We need to start working to stop abortion because abortion is murder. When a woman becomes pregnant, there is a real live baby growing inside of her. Luke 1:41 (KJV) says that when Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting “the babe leaped in her womb.” Can a blob of tissue leap? Of course not! This wasn’t a blob of tissue; it was a real, live baby growing inside her womb. The women who go in to have an abortion also have a real live baby growing inside of them. Therefore, abortion is murder and something needs to be done.
Abortion needs to be stopped because if it’s not, effectively we are killing the next generation. In thirty years, who will be in the military? The next generation. Who will take care of the old, sick, and hurt in thirty years? The next generation will. In thirty years who will advance our technology and bring around new thinking? It is the next generation. Do you see? All these babies could not only hurt us if they are aborted, but also could help us if they are saved. As it says in Psalm 127:3 (KJV)
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Something needs to be done about abortion because otherwise we are taking advantage of the weakest among us. The babies that have not been born yet cannot speak. Who will defend them?
Today, a baby is a baby when convenient. It is tissue or otherwise when the time is not right. A baby is a baby when miscarriage takes place at two, three, four months. A baby is called a tissue or clumps of cells when an abortion takes place at two, three, four months. Why is that? I see no difference. What are you seeing? Many close their eyes…[1]

Our country has begun to eat up lies. These lies tell us that the “baby” is not really alive, or even if it is, it wouldn’t be a life worth living. In 1 Thessalonians 4:6, it says that no one should “defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such.” It is dangerous for our country not to value life. We did not value life when there were slaves in America. Adolf Hitler did not value life when he killed so many of the Jewish people. Do we really want this to happen all over again? It’s what could happen if nothing is done. President Ronald Reagan said it well
The cultural environment for a human holocaust is present whenever any society can be misled into defining individuals as less than human and therefore devoid of value and respect.[2]

We need to take action because by letting abortions happen, we’re throwing out the foundation that this country was built on. In our very own Declaration of Independence it says
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.[3]

According to this, everyone, not just those that have already been born, are entitled to “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Abortion takes away their life, and without their life they certainly cannot pursue happiness nor have liberty. You cannot fit abortion in there anywhere. Our founding fathers did not put it in there, and we shouldn’t undermine what they said. It is the foundation that was laid for our country and if we pull it out, our country will fall. Psalm 127:1 says
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Now Gianna, and others like her, probably understands the dangers of abortion better than we will ever be able to, but that should not stop us from working with her. She would agree that abortion is hurting us, even if we cannot see it right now. She would also agree in saying that you need to join the force to stop abortions from happening. I believe that she would also say that we can never win this battle on our own. The only way that we will ever win the fight against abortion is if we put all our trust in God. As it says in Psalm 37:5-6 (KJV)
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
