Outline: The Unspeakable Crime of Abortion

· Article Thesis: Abortion carries a moral responsibility and blame that should be taken by various parties who play key roles whether direct or indirect to end the life of a defenseless human being and Pope John Paul II provides the required Biblical understanding of the issues surrounding abortion.

· As argued by the Pope abortion is murder of a defenseless human being it is unspeakable crime.

· Those who should take the moral responsibility include;

· The pregnant woman for submitting to pressure and finally deciding to take the medication or go through the process.

· The father of the unborn child for building pressure on the woman to terminate the pregnancy or for leaving the woman to face the troubles of pregnancy alone hence making her vulnerable to abortion temptations.

· The nurses and doctors for choosing to involve their careers in such crimes.

· The owners and directors of the clinics which have commercialized abortion

· The legislators who pass abortion permissive laws and remain unwilling to review them.

· According to the Pope the modern situation where abortion is acceptable in the popular mind is a progressively extreme crisis with the moral sense of the people compromised making them not to see the need to respect life and differentiate the good and evil.

· Groups which side with the right to life have found several challenges on the way as they fight for abortion to be prohibited. The other groups which side with those who believe that women must be given the right to choose, take on genetic science explanations as their defense.

Conclusion

· The availability of various drugs and approved methods of conducting abortion whether in the first, second or third trimester and the legal protection in place further complicates the war for pro-life activists like Pope John Paul II.

· Conclusion

From a point of view, abortion is not a good thing and should not be encouraged. Instead of concentrating more on advancing abortion, scientists should focus more on how to advance technology of preventing abortion, thus giving the right of life to the unborn and innocent babies.
