Kathryn C. Bender Illegalize Murder A law that needs to be changed is to outlaw abortion. Since 1973 when the Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade legalized the deliberate killing of unborn babies, millions of murders have taken place. Today it is said that 97% of abortions occur simply for convenience, we have made murder our means of birth control and accept killing as common. Our nation’s founding document the Declaration of Independence, asserts as a “self-evident” truth that each of us is “endowed by their Creator” with the unalienable rights of life and liberty. It is immoral and ignorant to assume that an unborn baby is exempt from the same rights to life. As a nation we are repulsed by murder, it is unethical and immoral to impose our own will on someone else and take their life, and a baby’s life should be seen as no different. It is important to consider our respect for human life and how much life is worth. It is in no one’s power to declare that human beings have no worth, and allow room for such barbaric acts to take place in our nation that was founded under God. The fuzziness in Congress needs to stop, and the issue of abortion needs to be addressed in a simple light, of to murder or not to murder? That is the question. Just because the Supreme Court ruled a decision in 1973 does not make it ‘right’. There are interests groups fighting for the lives of our nation’s babies including the National Right to Life, the Republican National Coalition for Life, Operation Rescue National, and Libertarians for Life.
