Abortion - Can you hear the babies screaming? On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion. When it ruled that abortion was legal, the court not only gave women the right to choose, but also gave unborn children the right to die. Since that day, millions upon millions of unborn children have been torn to pieces, burned with saline solutions, and sucked from their mothers' wombs. With each miscarriage that occurs, another inaudible cry of the unborn child is silenced and that child's rights are taken away. If anyone were asked whether murder was wrong, the general answer would be yes. When the same person is asked if abortion is murder, the answer might be yes, but most likely the answer is no. Why do most people think murder is wrong, but disagree that abortion is murder? The reason for this contradiction is that most people believe that the unborn child is not a human being, but an organ or part of the woman's body, which would make the act of aborting a child like the removal of an appendix. This question of when life begins arises from the inconsistencies that emerge from Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court stopped with the Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments a woman's right to an abortion. That day, however, the court did not determine when life begins for a human being. If society assumes that a fetus is a human being the moment it leaves the womb, then what is the fetus three minutes after birth, a monkey. When an unborn child is aborted, society must realize that it is not an organ that has been taken, but a living human being. This would make abortion wrong because under the law no one has the right to take the life of another. Since many people consider cases of unwanted pregnancy due to rape or incest to be acceptable, they must realize that the child is not the crime. Society's reason is: why should a woman suffer from the pain and memories that pregnancy brings? Even cases of abortion
