Abortion is the premature expulsion of nonviable fetus from the uterus. In medicine, an abortion is the premature exit of the products of conception from the uterus. It is the lost of pregnancy and does not refer why the pregnancy is lost.
An embryo or fetus stops developing and body expels it. This is called spontaneous abortion or miscarriage. This is quite reasonable but this is automatically done when the fetus is detected malfunctioning on the mother’s womb.
Abortion is usually caused by the unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. Most commonly reason for abortion is to postpone or stop child bearing. The second most common reason is related in socioeconomic concerns:
- unable to give education and employment
- lack of support from the father
- desire to provide schooling for existing children
- poverty
- & woman’s perception that she is too young to constitute other important categories of reasons.
Abortion involves life- killing of suppostedly new life.
Pro-abortion’s main reason to legalized abortion is that many women die every year because of illegal abortion. Is that their reasons? Killing once life is a murder. Pro-life are simply saying that babies have a right to live.
Some small groups run large campaigns to convince people that woman have a right to choose to abort their babies. This is illogical. The choice comes when the women decide to have risky sex. When people make choices, they must accept the certain consequences of this choice. Sometimes people want to accept the consequences of their choices and try to find an unethical means to avoid taking responsibility for their actions.
Science says that fetus is a person because a person’s genetic make-up is determined at the moment of conception. Religion introduces the soul in the situation. Not only for the soul of the fetus, but also the soul of the woman bearing the baby. How can any woman with a conscience abort her baby? Philosophy supports the idea of a baby becomes a person.
There is a narrow band of belief in science, medicine, religion, and philosophy that life is valuable, should be supported and should not be killed when the killing is reasonably avoided. In fact, those who believe strongly in science, in medicine, in religion, or in philosophy are some of the strongest opponent of abortion.
Abortion should not be legalized. It is not the baby’s choice to live here on earth but he shall not be killed by the selfish reasons of his parents. The parents shall be responsible in all their actions. At first point, they are the reason why the baby is form. The baby is innocent; the parents should guide them and do all the best in them. To be able to live is the best thing parents can do for the baby.
A new born life is important. There is nothing more important than life. That life can be the future of one’s nation, key for successful economic growth, inventor, scientist, or a peacemaker. How can he do that if he is not given a chance to be born? There is no wealth but life.
As Albert Einstein said: “What is the meaning of human life, or an organic life altogether? To answer this question at all implies a religion. Is there any sense then, you ask, in putting it I answer, the man who regards his own life and of his fellow creatures as meaningless is not merely unfortunate but almost disqualified for life. “

“Be happy while you’re living, for you’re a long time dead. “
Happiness has a powerful and positive impact in the body. A happy person responds better to flu just like other vaccines. Optimism reduces risk of disease, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, and diabetes. Study shows that that a happy brain has powerful influence on the rest of the body. If one person is ranked in upper level of happiness on psychological tests, then he or she will develop about 50% more antibodies than average in response to flu vaccines. Moreover, happiness, hopefulness, optimism can reduce the risk of "cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, diabetes, hypertension, colds and upper respiratory infections as well. Those mental states can help people to reduce our risk of death 50%. Doctors usually study the effect of being depressed to people's health, but nor more researchers focus on the positive state; however, there is no confined boundaries about what exactly happiness is.
Peace of mind means the complete absence of stress and worry. It is in complete sane and controlled peace and the lack of over concern about anything. Happiness is related with peace of mind because you cannot achieve happiness without peace of mind. Health of body and peace of mind are necessary for living a happy life. You can get health of body and peace of mind by following the principles of hygiene and ethics. Idleness is the greatest enemy of happy life. So, you should cast off your idleness if any and do some useful and productive work. Adjustment, understanding, co-operation and tolerance are necessary for leading a happy life. Love, affection, sympathy and fellow feelings are necessary on your part for making your life happy.
Living in a happy life also concerns your attitude towards your fellow or neighbors. For example you cannot live happily if your neighbors are unhappy and sad. You cannot enjoy your full meal if your neighbors are experiencing starvation. Also, if you treat your fellow right and good they will be happy. But if you treat them wrong and bad they will be sad and problematic. Not only that, your simple unkind attitude towards them may also change their lives. It may lead on your fellow’s pressure, lack of self esteem, worried mind, and even suicidal. What more if you do more than a simple unkind treatment? Is seeing your fellow unhappy makes you glad? That is not the purpose and meaning of happiness. So be careful of your attitude. You must live in a manner that your neighbor will not suffer for your happiness. You should not hurt them either in mind or in person or in property. Besides, you should sincerely try to relieve their sorrow. Here lies the true living of one's happy life. You should try to make others happy in order to live a happy life for yourself. It is a priceless gift if you make someone happy! It will make you feel better to.
Though for some people, their idea of happiness is money and fame. Some people have the wrong idea of happiness. They believe that happiness arises from just material and temporal objects. Although people can get their happiness from many various sources, the most common source that brings happiness is family and friends. They believe that the temporary things such as money and fame will give them true happiness. Actually, it won’t. Statistics have shown that the majority of wealthy people are not truly happy. However, other people prove that friends and family are the main sources that bring happiness. Friendship improves happiness by multiplying our joy and dividing our sorrow. Happiness in relation to the family is that the love of the family is greatest among all the kinds of love. You will be happy if you are loved.
Happiness is related on the contentment of what you have. Contentment is a peaceful kind of happiness in which one rests without desires, even though every wish may not have been gratified. Being not contented can be the result for possession of material things, jealousy, and greediness. This thing is connected to socio-economic and political life. Even though a man achieves a success but it comes from an evil way that is not the meaning of contentment in relation with happiness. It is because happiness is unselfish and kind just like love. Buddha said that a well guarded mind brings happiness. Those who are free from all worldly desires will attain Nirvana. Never covet what others have. It is deadly sin which grows away from all happiness. Learn to be happy with what you have. Do not steal and greed on your neighbor. Love and do kindness on them for you will achieve the true meaning of happiness trough that.
Happiness is also related on the love for your work. You cannot achieve the true meaning of happiness if you don’t love what you are doing. Successful people win because they love what they do. Actually, your greatest passion is your mission. If you find your true passion and devote yourself to it, you’ll find harmony and happiness in your life. You’ll be achieving great results continually and effortlessly.
Happiness is a pleasant feeling that is beneficial and yet unseen. Happiness and optimism become the effective medicine to our health. And these invisible medicines have no bad side effect to our health compared to Aspirin or Tylenol. And being happy can also helps people to prolong their life and become long-lived. People should try to find happiness in your daily life, and when people encounter difficult problems, they can solve the dilemma with their positive attitude. The positive emotion can bring a sad person out of darkness and enter the world full of hope and liveliness. The melancholy within you will disappear and joy will embrace you.
Happiness is the goal of all people and all wish to live a happy life. The idea of a happy life differs from man to man. Some people think that happiness lies in luxurious living. So, they spend a lot of money over it. Some people think that happiness lies in amassing money. So, they keep a large amount of money in the saving bank and never spend a pie of it even for their bare necessities. Some people think, happiness lies in having gold. So, they keep a large mass of gold in their possession. Some people think happiness lies in worldly life. Some people think happiness lies in renunciation of worldly attachment. But as I have said, happiness cannot be achieved with those things.
But whatever the source is, happiness is definitely essential and necessity of life. Living with happiness can bring you to peace of mind. Love, faith, and hope are also important aspects to achieve happiness. Happiness is under your spiritual, mental, and emotional being. I also read a quote which states that "Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings YOU the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run."
The overall thought of my opinion about happiness is, happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it. Achieving happiness is the most priceless thing anyone can have. Aristotle said that happiness is the greatest good.
Classmates, this is our final speech. I’m not expecting to get an A+ with this speech. But whatever grade I got on this speech, what’s important is that I share my point of what happiness is and on how to achieve it. I hope that I help each of you to realize what happiness is.
