Abortion is not the solution
By: Juliana March S. Mendoza
Imagine
this: you are an
unborn baby and
your
mother
decides that she
will not give you
the chance of life.
But how is that
possible?
Abortion. Abortion is nothing more than killing an
innocent baby for selfish reasons. For whatever selfish
reason this may be, abortion is wrong and in many ways
immoral.
One reason is that the opportunity of the baby to
live is gone. Stolen. The baby is unable to grow and be a
normal person; unable to have a family and feel loved.
There are many other solutions other than
abortion. Thus, abortion needs not to be pursued. Why
not let someone adopt the baby? That way, the baby
remains unharmed and the biological parents can live the
way they want to. The new family will be happy to have
a blessing and the baby will hopefully have a happy and
normal life, and no one is killed. There are lots of
families wanting a child of their own. Why throw away a
precious life when you can be a blessing to others?
Of course, there’s also the fact that it is the
mother’s fault. Why must she impregnate herself and run
away from the consequences? And when faced with the
cost of her actions, her solution is to kill the baby? It is
not the baby’s fault their mother did not realize what a
big responsibility it is to get pregnant.
Another reason is this: the mother will
eventually have sleepless nights, thinking what would
have happened had she not killed her own baby. Her
conscience, along with her guilt, will haunt her eternally.
Abortion should be illegal considering it is a
brutal way of committing murder, and murder is a crime.
This is wrong. True, it is a woman’s right to decide what
to do with her body. But, in this case, another life is on
the line. Abortion should stop. Tell everyone you know
why abortion is wrong. If you do, you might save a life.
Bullies: Do they need second chances?
By: Juliana March Mendoza
Though sometimes second chances are
somewhat taken for granted, everyone needs them.
We all do. Without second chances, opportunities
for a change are closed and the hope of those who
deserve them shattered. Let us not close our eyes
and our hearts to be generous to those who longed
for them even
to those that
hurt others-the
bullies.
The
main
reason
that
bullies
bully is that
they
are
misguided. They may not have enough and proper
guidance from their parents and the people they are
with at home. Love and peace start in the family. If
the children are well loved, well-taught and welltrained by responsible parents, bullying may not
