As
the controversy of abortion continues, Kansas is the first state to enforce
laws that ban abortion. On April 8, 2015, Kansas
Gov. Sam Brownback signed a law that may influence pro life in many other
states. The law banned the practice of "dismemberment abortion".
This common procedure is described as “knowingly dismembering a living unborn
child and extracting such unborn child one piece at a time from the uterus
through the use of clamps, grasping forceps, tongs, scissors or similar
instruments that, through the convergence of two rigid levers, slice, crush or
grasp a portion of the unborn child’s body in order to cut or rip it off.” The
law prohibits this act unless, "necessary to
protect the life or health of the mother,” Even though this law does not ban
all forms of abortion, it is a major step for pro-life.
This ban on "dismemberment abortion” is the first step to
create a prolife society. The appalling and alarming procedure of "dismemberment
abortion" should bother everyone, but still there are supporters of it. Their
main argument is that the woman should have the choice and be in control of her
body, although this choice murders innocent humans. Murder is considered the
worst crime, and should be carried out to all humans. It is not fair to the
baby, to have the right to live taken away from her or him. Even if the woman were
not fit to have a baby, many families would love to adopt the child. By
aborting a child is not helping the child or the woman in any way. After
aborting, many women suffer from miscarriages, regret and depression later in
life. To continue this practice further would be detrimental to our society in considering
itself “civilized”. Hopefully Brownback’s decision to sign the law will
influence other states to do the same.
