Part III - Literature Review of Opposing Perspective(s)
As the opposers arguments states, the non-religious reasoning that they are against abortions are because the government funds them. Women can get many other health services in this country without abortion being a decision, and having taxpayers pay for the inhumane procedure. If women turn out pregnant for any reason, instead of abortion they should accept their consequences and keep the child or at least give the child up for adoption. The religious reasoning for people who are Pro-Life state that their God is rightfully against abortion because it is murder of a life he created and as soon as conceived, the creation within the womb is an independent life that has a right to outside the womb

As the opposers say, the Government pays for abortions, and even if they defunded Planned Parenthood it would not affect women, because they can get receive a copious amount of other services in this country. Supposedly, the 13,000 community based health services in this country provides the sexual health care that Planned Parenthood also offers, therefore, people who are Pro-Life want Planned Parenthood to be diminished because the services are already offered at other organizations without abortion being a law or an option to women. "There are 13,000 community-based organizations that provide health services to women, 13,000 in this country" (Bush, Take One Guess What Happened After Texas Defunded Planned Parenthood).

Opposers also claim that they have to pay tax money for all abortions, and since they are against abortion, they do not want their money to go towards the procedures, and that leads them to defund Planned Parenthood, “The nation's largest abortion provider has already received over five and a half billion dollars from taxpayers and now demands more” (National Pro-Life Alliance). Since they say that all that money went to abortions and would have rather had it go to more preferred services, and not to a procedure that they are strongly against, making that an issue and demanding to defund the organization. |
The opposers view on this subject state that a fetus is human and an independent life post-fertilization. That being said, it also means that when an abortion occurs, the human rights are taken away from the zygote, or independent life, according to the Pro-Life community, resulting in murder and against God’s will. “A living human person begins to exist at the moment of conception” (Abortion NO).
People who are Pro-Life are strongly against abortion because it offends God, “The first human became a “living being” (Biblehub) as soon as conceived, the zygote is presently an independent life, and should have the opportunity to life outside the womb. Secondly, people who are Pro-Life are against abortion because they say that it is murder, being the destruction of human-like cells, they say that it does not matter that the fetus is still in the womb, as long as it has a beating heart and can feel pain, “Unborn children are deprived from life -- the most basic right of all” (Abortion NO). |
Furthermore, that people who are Pro-Life are against abortion is because they say that women should accept the consequences they put on themselves, and should at least put the child up for adoption. If a woman did not use any form of birth-control, they say that it is her fault and she must keep the child. If the carrier’s life is in danger, they say that she should still keep the child to term, to at least give that child the few minutes of life before death outside the womb, even if the mother dies as well. If a woman was raped, they say that she should keep the child and give the child up for adoption, even if the pregnancy is a constant reminder of what happened. They say that she should be ashamed for wanting the abort the fetus even though she is constantly reminded of the event
Finally, people who are Pro-Life say that it is never a choice to murder a fetus, because the fetus does not get any saying in the matter. If the fetus does not get to have a choice to the right of the life, they say that the carrier should not be able to decide if she wants to abort, or as they say, murder an innocent human being.
