The Abortion Predicament The dictionary definition of the term “Abortion” states that it is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus and it also says that it is the spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during “the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.” Now, how can this be correct? You can have your little “embryo or fetus” taken from your womb at just twelve weeks pregnant but, after twelve weeks, what should we call this, “the murder of a baby”? This is a very contradicting statement to me and clearly not state the proper way. I feel that abortion at any stage is murder because it ultimately results in the death of the near-future child, but that is just me. Many controversies over abortion have been highly debated recently, especially the one on partial-birth abortion or more technically known as “Dilation and Evacuation.” In other words, this means to give birth; only the baby will be murdered during the process in a way that would even make even the evilest of men ill. During this wicked process the baby is partially delivered, has its skull punctured and collapsed to make the remains easier to remove from the mother’s body. Now if that is not sickening I don’t know what is. Since the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973, the abortion issue in the United States has been a political hot potato polarized into two camps stamped pro-life and pro-choice.
