I'm Pro- Life. Can you tell me if it's good/ give me some tips? Thanks!!! No rude answers please! I'm not looking for person views!
Did you know that there are about 3,700 abortions a day in the US? So approximately 1.3 million LEGAL murders are occurring every year. I personally think that this is absurd. I am going to tell you why you shouldn’t get one or support them because of the adoption option, the after effects and the simple fact that it’s murder. I am a Catholic so my church strongly opposes abortion.
One must wonder why a woman would seek out an abortion when there are other more humane options available. Adoption, of course, is the main option. Adoption is a win- win situation. The mother will be able to pursue her goals before she was pregnant and not have the burden of a child before she is ready and at the same time, bring tremendous joy to the adoptive parents. There are situations where the birth mother can be actively involved if she desires. This is called an open adoption. There are various degrees from the child seeing the birth mother every day, to just writing letters. Another type of adoption is the closed adoption. In it, the mother knows nothing of the adoptive parents. Adoption can shelter the mother from mental and physical issues that she would experience if she went through with an abortion.
Over 100 physical complications have been associated with abortion. Some complications include infections, endotoxic shock, convulsions and even sterility. The psychological effects are even more prominent. Studies within the first weeks after abortion show 40- 60% of women reported negative reactions such as guilt, nervous disorders, sleep disturbances and regret. Some even required psychotropic medicine. “I was an emotional wreck. The following day I was empty, sad, and numb. I knew that day I had made a huge mistake. I wished with all my heart I would have done things differently,” Carrie Camilleri said. The emotional and physical pain experienced by the patients also comes to some abortion doctors.
A lot of the time, abortionists start to realize that what they are doing is morally wrong. They begin to show emotional and physical signs after every abortion they perform. Dr. McArthur, a former abortionist said, “Abortion started to get to me in my dreams. I had a recurring nightmare in which I delivered a healthy, newborn baby. I held the baby up and faced a jury of faceless people, asking them what I should do with the baby. ‘Thumbs up or thumbs down?’ On the floor underneath the baby was a bucket of water for drowning the baby if the jury gave a verdict of thumbs down. I never put the baby in the bucket because I would always wake up.” Obvously, this man was disturbed by abortion and eventually quit the practice.
Both the pain of the woman and the doctor pale in comparison to the fate of the unwanted baby. Abortion is murder. I went to dictionary.com and searched “life.” It defined life as “an organismic state characterized by capacity for metabolism, growth and reaction to stimili. And doesn’t a fetus possess all these things? So therefore it is alive. I also searched “murder” which was defined as “the brutal or inhumane killing of a human being.” Abortion is just that. I’m not going to go into detail but, basically in most abortions, the doctors chop the baby into pieces then pull it out with plier like tools. So, to those of you who think abortion isn’t painful to the baby, just imagine your baby sibling or cousin. Look through their eyes. Would it be painful to them?
So, as you can see, abortion should not be supported because of the physical and emotional effects on both the doctors and patients and the fact that it is murder. Also, abortion is a stupid decision when there is the rewarding option of adoption available. I encourage all of you to evaluate your standing on abortion. And maybe even participate in the pro life movement. Thank you for listening.
Dog Whisperer, yes that's what I'm trying to do. It's hard though because I feel so strongly about the subject!
Ugh! I can't make the intro less harsh! Can some one help?

Janpbs, I have very strong views on this subject so it's hard not to write that way. I'm working on making it sound less like "I'm always right." By the way, I'm 14 and this is for a summer speech class. I wrote it in very little time so give me some slack! But thanks for your critiques.

Alberta populations of woodland caribou have been in the past several years. One major influence has been the logging of mature forests which contain lichens necessary for caribou to survive the winter.
The young regenerated forest provides good food supply for moose, deer and elk, which, in turn, will attract and support the growth of a wolf population which preys on the caribou.
Oil and gas activity in these logged areas further increase human contact with the caribou and increase poaching and accidental deaths. The wolves use cutlines and skidoo trails to increase their hunting range.
The table below shows the changes in the populations of animals in the time following the logging of a mature forest
Changes in Three Populations of Animals
Time Population one Population Two Population Three
1 100 20 300
2 150 22 390
3 200 24 280
4 250 25 270
5 350 30 250
6 400 35 210
7 450 65
How do we add more points to our questions???
