I need to do a presentation in Religion about Amnesty International. Today I did a lot of research about it, I looked so many things up on the internet. Now I know a lot about ai. I know about the structure of the organisation, I know how it was founded, I know what its aims are...
I think I’m well prepared for my presentation.
When I had a look at a homepage on which ai was described I saw a picture of the Pope on its bottom. So I read through the article and I found out that the Vatikan asks Catholics to think twice about joining ai because of ai’s attitude towards termination of pregnancy.
I did some research about it on the internet...
and I found out that
Amnesty International isn’t for termination of pregnancy in general.
ai is for termination of pregnancy if the woman is a victim of rape, has committed incest or if there are any health risks for the mother.
It’s weird for me to imagine that anyone can’t understand their opinion and their reasons for decriminalizing termination of pregnancy in these cases.
How can a woman live with a child in whose eyes she sees the pain of herself being raped?
How can a woman live with a child who is handicapped and she knows that she’s responsible for this handicap?
Who’s life is more important? The life of the mother or the life of an unborn child of whom we don’t even know if he/she’ll survive without his mother?
But when does life start? When is an embryo a human? We can’t tell...
Are we killing a human life when we kill the embryo or is the embryo still a little something without any feelings?
Termination of pregnancy is one of the subjects for me of which I don’t really have a clear opinion and I can’t have one because my opinion refers to the case.
In some cases I would never procure abortion but if I really have to think about it because my unborn child has a disease which will bring the child to horrible pain, I don’t know how I’ll decide.
And I hope that I’ll never have to make such a decision in my whole life.
God bless you
