Words: 434 - Pages: 2.... sometimes a mother can run the risk of death if

Abortion: Murder Of An Innocent Human Being
Words: 338 - Pages: 2.... sucked out through a suction tube. In another method, a saltwater solution is injected into the amniotic sac, and the baby is poisoned. These methods are extremely cruel and painful, regardless of the organism it is being performed on. This torture needs to be stopped now.
Being irresponsible and not using protection when having sex is not a good excuse to kill an innocent baby.

Words: 1620 - Pages: 6.... changing the aging process. Man has a natural tendency to play
the role of G-d. Man has a an inherent need to affect others, be it through the
