In our world today, there are many people who turn to abortion for an unwanted pregnancy, regardless of whether it is in first trimester or the last month of their pregnancy. If the people of today would act more responsibly, there would be a considerable decrease in the abortion rate. In the partial birth process, the child is delivered halfway and then there is a scalpel inserted into the back of the child’s neck and the brain stem is cut. The reason it is considered partial birth is because the woman is in labor at the time of death. There are over 13,000 partial abortions performed in the eastern portion of our country every year and over 2 million abortions performed in our society every year. Any type of abortion is is currently accepted in our society. Partial birth abortion should be become an outlawed procedure due to the fact that the child is murdered after it has already partly out of the mothers womb.
 

Though there are many people in our world today that do not believe in the partial birth abortion process, there are only 23 states that outlaw this process. Though the words in the bills are very subject to interpretation due to the ambiguity of their nature. These bills may say that you may only do the process if the mother’s life is in severe danger but others say if the mother’s life is endangered at all. Some may interpret this as being a simple caesarian section that would possibly leave scars on the mother’s body that is "harmful" to the mother’s health. The ambiguity of these laws is used because the lawyers are able to interpret these in many different manors. If they do not use the words loosely, they are fully aware that the higher courts will reject the bill. If the words of the laws were stricter, then too many people who are for the partial birth abortions would be able to find a way to have then banded. Though the bills have been written to help the fight against partial birth abortions some may say that it is only hurting the matter by giving an leeway to the procedure.
 

In the partial abortion process many doctors and nurses are willing to state that after the twenty-week period the fetus is able to feel and hear what is going on around them. When the statement is said, people should be able to realize that the fetus is aware and experiencing what is happening to them during the partial abortion process. If the fetus is able to feel this process and is aware of the stress that is being induced would you not consider this process at the minimum child abuse? Many have also said that the fetus will scream and or cry and the beginning of the procedure. The pain of this procedure is not only then on the mother but also on the fetus. Both of the people involved are going through an enormous amount of stress, but what did the child do to deserve this punishment. In the most extreme circumstances, the fetus is eight months developed in the mother’s womb. By this time the fetus knows exactly what is being said and is able to feel what is happening. The process that is administered should be outlawed due to the fact that the child knows that they are about to be murdered just because the mother is unwilling to accept the responisbility for the actions that they have done.

Partial birth abortion should be considered murder in the first degree. The entire process that is administered is destroying one of God's creations. If it is okay to kill a baby that is halfway out of the mothers womb, why then is it illegal to kill someone that is standing right next to you. The process that the procedure requires is very brutal. Though any type of abortion is murder, partial birth abortion is the most explicate forms. The birth of a child is supposed to be one of the most glorious moments in a woman’s life. Though some people feel the need to take that experience and murder the child at hand. In the definitions killing, murder, and abortion they are use the words "taking a life." If this is so then how can abortion not be considered murder when the woman is taking the life of a living, thinking, breathing individual that is living and growing inside of her. If our society would join together and look at the true issues at hand, the abortion procedures in general would have to make one think.  Stealing the life of an unarmed individual, such as in the parital abortion process, is becoming a successful attempt at getting away with murder.

The in-depth process that is included during partial birth abortion procedures is very morbid. The mother is first induced into labor and then the contractions are present. After the cervix is dilated, the mother will go through the same process that is done during a regular labor and delivery. The fetus' feet are first extracted, then the body. The fetus' head is still inside the mother's womb and then and knife or scalpel is inserted into the back of the neck and the brain stem is cut. Next, the vacuum like tube is inserted and the brains of the fetus are removed. The child can then be "labeled" still born because the entire body of the fetus has not been extracted. This process is greatly beyond what we would normally consider human decency. A child is murdered moments from having a name and birthday.
  

God created each and every individual that has had the opportunity of entering this world and that has not had the opportunity to enter this world. He has created everything that has ever moved on earth. So who has the authority to kill something that God has so ever blessed them with the gift of a child. Each and every life that is forming inside the mother's womb is a gift of life from God and who besides God should have the right to say when that life should be ended? No one besides the creator of that human being should have the right to stop that life that God has created to do so many things in our world. God has given the mother an awesome gift of a child and then some mothers take that life into their own hands and extract a life that He has created. One of the Ten Commandments states, "Thou shall not kill." So, the partial birth abortion is religiously unacceptable. Partial birth abortion is killing of a gift that God has blessed to only certain people and what would give anyone the right to kill a creation of His?  The partial birth abortion process is destroying an individual that God has created to accomplish many tasks.  Partial birth abortions are a disgrace to our religious society. 

There are many side effects that can occur after a partial birth abortion. Some are physical but most are emotional. Many of these women experience regret and a great deal of depression. Some say that the regret and depression are linked because the reality of the procedure has not completely hit them until it is already over. The regret that some women feel is almost to the point of suicide they. Some of the physical side effects are normal after birthing pains and hemorrhaging. The women’s body is put through great trauma and takes a long period of time to recover just as it would if she had not taken the life of that child and delivered a live little baby. The emotional side effects that occur before, during, and after a partial birth abortion stay with the mother for a very long time if not for the rest of her life.
 

Abortion in the most general cases should be outlawed. The killing of a fetus is just the same as killing one that has a name and a recognizable face. The partial birth abortion process should be recognized as a simple way at murder. The growing number of the procedures that is performed should be becoming a sickening thought to our society. More and more of these procedures are being performed everyday. Stopping the killing of an innocent human being should be a high-ranking priority on our government’s list. What is world coming to when a child can be extracted from its mother's womb just weeks before it has a name? The partial birth abortion process is one way at our government officials allowing our society to commit murder. To stop this process would be a benefit to our society in every way.
