MCS1000 – Anti Abortion campaign – Group dossier

Our campaign is an anti-abortion campaign. Our main objective of the campaign is to reduce the timeline that woman can have abortions. At this current time you are allowed as a woman to have an abortion up to 6 months which is very upsetting bearing in mind that by that time the baby is near enough developed in to a person and having an abortion at that time is literally murder in our perspectives this is why we want to bring down the time scale for abortions to two months where then the baby isn’t developed as a person and less harm would be consumed on the child.

People should support the campaign because it is a subject that is being forgotten about and continuing without anyone’s notice of the harm that is being caused to these innocent babies that are being aborted at a late stage of a pregnancy which in normal eyes is murder. I feel that people have always wanted to do something about abortions but have never seen a proper campaign been developed for them to support.

The reason for this campaign and to press it now is because for so long it has gone UN noticed what it is actually being done but also the various ways that you could abort a baby is very disturbing in this modern day era where we should stop such vile actions.

People should support the campaign because it touches heart when being discussed but also giving the context of how things get dealt is something no one wants to hear and everyone would want to stop it if they thought there was a way of supporting the stop to abortion at late stages.

The group feel that in order to prevent more abortions more protection should be promoted for woman instead of un protected sex and not being able to handle the consequences of that being pregnant they turn to abortion which is not the right way forward.

Other groups that involved in the health section are doing the opposite of what we are campaigning for and that is that they feel abortion is ok and that it should be used if a woman does not want the baby. They feel that if someone is not prepared to have a baby they should have the rights to abort the baby at any time no matter how it is done.

The above statistics I feel are something that the general public should worry and the government. Reason for this is because there’s a rise of abortions as years go on which show the countries un healthy stature and that more girls having sex and getting pregnant which also shows that parents are not guiding there kids in the right direction.
