5th Commandment

The fifth commandment states that you shall not kill which applies too many controversial topics that we deal with today. One major debate is the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate which has become one of the major issues in America.

 The pro-choice supporters believe in abortion for many reasons one including the fact that men cant get pregnant so they cant tell women what to do. The pro-life response is that although men cant get pregnant it doesn't make the fetus any less their child.

The pro-choice supporters also believe that a fetus doesn't have feelings or rights which is hard to be sure of. The pro-life supporters think that a fetus is a creation of God and that getting an abortion is as serious of a sin as killing someone.

Another pro-life issue is the issue of capital punishment which is the death penalty. The pro-life supporters believe that capital punishment is a very grave sin and that it is an excessive punishment for a persons  crimes.
