IS LEGALIZING ABORTION MORALLY ACCEPTABLE


IS LEGALIZING ABORTION MORALLY ACCEPTABLE.
There are myriads of reasons a person may want to consciously exterminate a baby that is already developing in the womb. First on a medical basis. Abortion can be medically proscribed by a health professional on account of the safety of the mother. In this unique cases the development and maturity of the foetus poses a greater risk to the mother than the risk of doing away with the foetus. In other cases the retention of the baby may apart from being risky to the mother be of no value. The health professional might be convinced that the baby has zero chances of living and that it will ultimately die before birth consequently terminating the pregnancy.

Similarly a mother may wish to do away with the foetus on her own grounds since she has the right of choice on her own body. The medical practitioner might find it necessary to assist her abort the baby. This can be due to several reasons. For instance if the mother had conceived under unconsented intercourse or just against her own will and she feels not ready to proceed with the pregnancy. Abortion therefore can be due to medical safety, emotional stability or for psychological freedom.
On a second hand, abortion can never be right since the yet to be aborted feautus is innocent in the light of all rationalization of abortion. After conception the fertilized ova principally becomes a separate viable entity from the mother. It is no longer part and parcel of the cellular organization that forms the mother. On the contrary the mother of the featus is now only a host shelter to provide the feautus with the necessary nourishment
The embryo henceforth assumes the inherent inalienable rights to life, the method of conception or its parents not-withstanding. The rights which are not transferrable or conferred. It follows that the mother cannot by any means acquire a moral standing to decide whether the baby should live or not. Due to this inalienable natural right to life, abortion based on non-readiness to assume responsibility, financial unpreparedness or even such reasons as relationship issues or other socio-economic reasons are not justifiable.
Besides, abortion as a procedure, if it were to be legalized then there would be an escalation of unprofessionally conducted abortions. The child murderers would infer license from the permission contemplated in its legality. Consequently such abortions and those performed with genuine medical practitioners could result to adverse effects on the health of the mother and even tragically end in death.
On a moral stand point abortion seems more immoral than moral. Despite the  truth that even abortion apart from other necessary evils can sometimes be acceptable  and justified especially on a medical front, for instance the mother  might be a juvenile without the natural ability to carry the pregnancy. Perhaps the pregnancy itself poses a more greater risk to the health of the mother than exterminating it
The morality in accepting legalization of abortion is therefore pegged on the norminal merits of engaging in that act of abortion. It is almost true that most abortions are not justified since they are not done on medical grounds but to satisfy the selfish wishes of the pregnancy bearer. But for the medically and health risk approved abortions , legalization of abortion is morally acceptable
Last but not least, abortion goes against the dictates of nature. This makes it morally wrong, but normally man has the power to create sustainability of life and improve on nature by curtailing natures detrimental effects. This way mothers cannot be captives of nature itself. Since abortion is a necessary evil it is morally right to say legalization of abortion is morally acceptable.

MONEY MAKES MAN MAD

Money is the exact opposite of the Holy spirit. Money changes people. When a poor person finally gets money, the person changes like a snake that sheds it's exo-skeleton or like a caterpillar that becomes a butterfly or a moth. The moth can never remember it's Caterpillar life.  Wait! Almost everyone who was not borne in a flood of money. Some men immediately start to think, they can be sponsors or even to the extreme end, add onto themselves more wives and concubines. Some men all of a sudden fall out of love with the women who stood with them at their lowest height below poverty level.  The worse though are women. when a woman who had not known money comes to find good money in the palm of her hands. Immediately she compulsively feels, " I don't need a man. Where can I take a man. I am independent. I can pay my rent, buy any clothe I want, I can buy a car and do everything I want. No I don't need a man."  That is when a married woman stops ...

A FEW PICKS ABOUT VALENTINE AND BROKEN HEARTS.

I have been following on Valentine's day heartbreaking escapades of what sacrifices guys made for the sake of love, and am left in a reality limbo. The question that rings in my mind is is if indeed love exists? A man braced himself for a two year jail term sentence for an offence which was perpetrated by his lover. Sadly the girl who stole from her father a good amount of money went ahead to incriminate her husband after they had agreed the husband would come in to stand in for his wife in prison. By the time the guy was released from incarceration his love had left him. In a separate incidence a lady boycotted their wedding, broke a relationship two days to the wedding, fled and eloped with a white German man. It happened that two days to the wedding, one of the brides maid called the groom who was far from the wedding venue, telling him the wedding was bound not to be. The groom got concerned,,travelled down south to interrogate the issue one on one. When he found the bride,...

HOW ATTACKING YOUR OPPONENT WORKS AGAINST YOU

HOW JUBILEE CAMPAIGNS FOR NASA Duale has encouraged a majority of Kenyans to send money to pay bill  991444 and your ID number as the account number. It takes men of resolve to stand on the side of truth, democracy and burry the culture of bungling presidential elections. All first and second liberation was never on a silver splatter. The third liberation even if it does not come through Raila will be the most contested compared to the former two. A new Kenya is an expensive venture, Kenyans must be ready to go the extra mile.  Kenyans will brace every hardship to the confines of  their pockets. Remember Some people like Samantha Pendo who knew nothing about elections paid with their dear lives. Many people have paid the price with their blood, it can't be equated to sending ksh 10 free of charge courtesy of Safaricom. I pity majority leader Adan Duale, he thinks he can take on Raila as his equal in a duel but every time he speaks about Odinga, the latter gains...
