    Abortion

    BY: BILL APARICIO, WALID AL-BUSIRI, CLEO OASNON, MARC


    MAGDALUYO AND DWIGHT KASILAG

    Introduction:

    An abortion is the medical process


    of ending a pregnancy so it does not
    result in the birth of a baby. It is also
    sometimes known as a 'termination'
    or a 'termination of pregnancy.

    Purpose:

    Our group's proposal tackles the


    moral issue of abortion, and how
    we, as Christians may help inform
    and educate our countrymen on the
    issue.

    Body:
    Church's stand

    Since life begins at conception, abortion is


    akin to murder as it is the act of taking human
    life. Abortion is in direct defiance of the
    commonly accepted idea of the sanctity of
    human life. No civilized society permits one
    human to intentionally harm or take the life of
    another human without punishment, and
    abortion is no different.

    Body:

    In the Philippines today, there are numerous factors


    that people are considering for abortion. One instance
    is the rising problem of pre-marital sex which leads
    into teen-pregnancy. Another factor is the case of
    rape. According to the PNP Directorate for
    Investigation and Detective Management (PNP-DIDM),
    the number of cases of rape and incest have increased
    in the past decade, going as high as 7,409 reported
    rape incidents, or one every 72 minutes in 2014.*
    These incidents involved both women and child
    victims.

    Body:

    Despite all of these problems, Abortion should not be


    used as another form of contraception. This is because
    abortion can result in medical complications later in
    life; the risk of ectopic pregnancies doubles, and the
    chance of a miscarriage and pelvic inflammatory
    disease also increases.

    For women who demand complete control of their


    body, control should include preventing the risk of
    unwanted pregnancy through the responsible use of
    contraception or, if that is not possible, through
    abstinence. In the instance of rape and incest, proper
    medical care can ensure that a woman will not get p
    regnant.

    Conclusion:

    The group, as Christians, is against abortion since it violates


    the sanctity of life gifted by God, and creates medical
    complications to women. We suggest some alternatives to
    abortion. Other contraceptives such as condoms, pills, etc.
    could also be used to avoid unwanted pregnancy. In the
    case of unwanted pregnancy, the child/children could be
    put on adoption instead of killing them for a mistake they
    did not commit. There are also various organizations that
    could aid pregnant woman such as Association of Pro-life
    Physicians that offers pregnancy counseling centers,
    maternity care, and other programs that aid single mothers,
    pregnant women and post-abortive women.
