It's an honour to be a part of this platform and I'd like to share something with you all while I await your honest feedbacks on this topic.
N/B: This is a project assignment I'm working on as a health student.
It’s possible to honor life while still respecting choice.And in that balance,we find not condemnation,but understanding.
Murder is the act of killing another human being intentionally and with malice.
Meanwhile the definition of abortion is far different from the murder definition.
Perhaps,we all know that an embryo is not a human being.
When we talk about abortion,we’re not just discussing an act;we’re exploring complex realities health,autonomy,poverty, trauma,and moral responsibility.To call abortion “murder” means that we're ignoring the ethical responsibility and perspective of conscience or compassion.
Across culture and religions,beliefs vary widely even among denomination and many religious leaders/scholars are against it .
Biologically,Life begins at conception then the person emerges later,with consciousness or brain activity.
From a philosophical standpoint, abortion isn’t considered “murder” if the fetus isn’t yet a person in the moral sense.
Acknowledging that abortion is not murder doesn't mean we celebrate it,it means we recognize it with understanding rather than accusations,with compassion rather than condemnation.
Can this perception be supported and realistic to many?
No matter how good your words are, how you put it all, the result is still the same.
It doesn't changed the fact that abortion ends a life, if you want to talk about health then why don't they use contraceptives?
If their reason for killing or having abortion is just for their own health, why didn't they prevent it from happening?
Using health is just an excuse, they all know it.
