Why I Now Think Abortion Should be Illegal

To start out there is a lot of rubble that should be cleared first. First, probably very few if no people will ever read this; although I don’t know why anyone should have heard of this tiny blogpost from nowhere and no one. Second, I have been on the fence a long time about this issue as I have heard no argument from any side that had appeared completely reasonable to me. In fact, I simply did what many humans fail to do nowadays, and that is think for oneself. Now, I must abash myself here because I have been wrestling with this issue for many years and even when I came upon the simple solution a few days have passed since I have realized just why it matters.

Into the meat of the matter. The reason I now believe abortion should be criminal is so simple, I almost wonder why I or no one else has thought of it before. First, let me ask you, are you atheist? Second, do you think abortion should be legal? Mill that over for a moment to before I tell you just why those things are incongruent.

If you answeed yes to both questions, then the obvious answer should appear—on the atheist conception of the universe and life, abortion fairs the worst. How so you ask? On the Christian prrspective these unborn children go to heaven or purgatory or limbo at worst. They lose their chance on earth, but live on in the next world. And this fairs exceptionally well if the Christian believes they would go straight to heaven. But, either way they will not suffer torment or torture because although they might not have been blessed by baptism, they have not sinned. In Buddhist culture, they will simply transmigrate once more into another body. Look, I don’t know what cosmic misfortune befalls all of the parties, but anyways it is safe to say they would be somewhere.

Now, let’s look at it from an atheist perspective. The human being that would have been brought into the earth never makes it— 100% of one possible person’s entire existence is wiped out. In fact, on the atheist conception the worst outcome befalls the aborted, the one chance they had to live anywhere at anytime is completely obliterated by destroying this precious embryo.

Look, I’m not saying that this is an easy realization, nor am I saying it is even absolute. However, when the cards are put on the table it seems impossible at this point to ever deny a fetus the right to live, and especially when considering all things from an atheist standpoint.
