Most antiabortion people are religious. Some of these people who claim it is wrong claim so because your killing an 'innocent child'. Let's put aside the child part and concentrate on 'innocence' shall we? By my observation, there is no such thing as innocence in most christian denominations.
Example one: Sin's of the father.
According to some of the things I read, you carry down the sins of your ancestors down the line. Meaning if your great great grandfather was a murdering psychopath, your eternal souls been marred and you need to constantly pray for forgiveness in the eyes of the lord. Even if you somehow never sin during your own lifetime. Wouldn't this then mean any fetus resulting of this psychopath in any stage of the pregnancy be carrying his sins? There fore, not innocent?
Example two: Rape and Incest.
I also believe I've read somewhere that a child born of rape and/or incest is automatically born into sin. Yet there are people out there who believe aborting even in those instances is wrong. Not to sound repetitious, but if being born of rape/incest= being born of sin, how is the 'baby' still innocent?
And finally, Example three: Original Sin
Do I really need to say more about this one?
This was merely a thought process I had that I felt I should get out there. I'm sure there are plenty of religious people out there who would be able to contest this somehow. I just simply don't see the mere excuse of (once again) it's an 'innocent child', anywhere near an efficient enough argument for me.
*NOTE*
I probably should have cited the articles, books, scriptures, and what have you. My internet is very limited right now and when I saw it was working I jumped at the opportunity to write this. I will try to post my sources at a later date.....
