A Second Argument Pro Life Advocates

The first argument was that if there are couples waiting to adopt, and abortion takes away the chance for a couple to have a child, then all women should choose adoption in lieu of abortion. Though this argument seems valid enough, it is based largely on rhetoric alone. To claim that adoption is always a better option than abortion suggests that simply ‘not wanting a child’ is the only reason that women ever choose to have an abortion.

Pro-life advocates also argue that abortions are being used for unsettling reasons. People are choosing to have abortions when they discover that their unborn child is not "perfect." The embryo or fetus may be the wrong sex, or have some form of a birth defect. They also view abortions as an unacceptable form of birth control. Many women are not getting one abortion because of an unwanted pregnancy, but two, three, and sometimes even more.

Pro-life advocates also may argue that using tax payer money to fund something that they and so many others are so opposed to is wrong, that young women are not ready to make such a decision, and, finally, that abortions may even cause mental and emotional harm. However, these opinions are not accepted by abortion activists.

Even though these “Pro Life supporters” think giving up your child for adoption is a better choice than an abortion, but those children would be forced to live in an unfit foster home till they age out of the system. After they turn 18 they are out on the streets what makes the women who would rather just have an abortion have to think about when they know their child is in a foster home and probably no better off than where they would be if she would have just kept it? You have to deal with the emotional circumstances after an abortion for a while but you have to deal with not knowing what the child you gave up has to go through on a daily basis everyday of your life is a lot harder than the emotional toll of an abortion

If you can spare a child’s life by giving it up for adoption why would you not do it? An article written by Procon says “result of the lack of women putting there children up for adoption, the number of US infant adoptions dropped from about 90,000 in 1971 to 18,000 in 2007. Around 2.6 million women were trying to adopt children as of 2002, according to the US department of Health and Human Services”. The more babies you kill the less babies there are going to be to put in stables homes. Give your babies a chance and put them up for adoption. Procon also says, ‘While abortion is final, adoption is just the beginning, if more women knew the facts about adoption, the ratio of abortion vs. adoption would be much lower than 149:1 and there would be more women happy with there decision”. If women knew the correct facts about adoption and made sure there child would be in a stable happy home instead of coming to the conclusion to abort there child then there would be more babies in loving

Abortion rights (or lack thereof) are a contentious issue to discuss, not just in this country but around the world. I am a pro-choice person because I feel that women should have the right to decide what to do with their bodies; equal rights, just like men are able to decide what to do with their own bodies. I have always come from a scientific background both in terms of overall thinking/rationale and in education. To me, the pro-life argument that life begins at conception makes no sense to me. A fertilized egg/fetus is not alive, just like a bacterium is not life.

As Amanda walked to her car in the darkened parking lot she had a vague uneasiness. Rapidly she unlocked the door, yanked the car door open and inserts the key in the ignition. When suddenly, a hand from behind covers her mouth and ferociously jerks her head into the head rest. The next twenty minutes will forever haunt her. With a gun to her head he usurped power, sexually assaulted her and inhumanly beat her to near death- leaving her beyond languished. Over the next few weeks the physical wounds would heal .The emotional healing would take much longer since the incident is now imprinted in her brain. Weeks after, the Clinic confirmed her worst nightmare: she was pregnant .She knew there was no way she could endure the pregnancy which is

Ellen Willis’s “Putting Women Back into the Abortion Debate” (2005) is an argument that supports women’s rights and feminism in terms of allowing all abortions to occur. She discusses abortion with the perspective that women’s rights are the issue, not human life. This argument is not accurate. Abortion is almost completely about the rights of every human being. People who are for abortion need to know a fertilized egg is just as important as someone already living, that an unborn child cannot control its need for someone to rely on for survival, and that they must accept the gender they were given without thinking it eliminates rights. Excluding rape and incest, abortion should not be allowed.

Josly Villar ESL 101 David shnaiderman July 17 2000 Pro-life side of abortion Abortion is defined as the induced termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or fetus that is incapable of survival. Abortion can be either a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), or a medically induced termination of pregnancy. The sides of abortion are the pro-life, which is the side against abortion, and pro-choice, which is the side that supports it. This issue should be illegal except in cases

As a result of the Supreme Courts ruling the U.S. has been split into two sides, those for abortion and those against. The Pro-Choice campaign has many key arguments as to why it should be legal. The most popular is that it is the best option when it comes to rape or incest. The reasoning behind this is that the psychological trauma of an abortion is lees than of the woman gives birth to the child. The woman could hate the child or project their negative emotions on the child. Thus causing the child to grow up with the feelings of being unloved. the next argument is that adoption is not an alternative to abortion. This is because the women still has to make the decision of whether or not give the child up for adoption. Research has shown that

In reality nowadays, the rationalization of abortion because of economic reason is just outrageous for many people. Abortion is a disturbing thing but people tend to do insane things when they are desperate.

Per Steven Ertelt, “adoption is an option that is not discussed nearly enough in the public debate about choice.” With adoption, everybody wins. The unaborted, adopted child gets the chance to live, and a chance to live in a place with loving, caring people. The adoptive parents in return benefit from having a child of their own. Studies even show that children who were born out-of-wedlock but are raised by adoptive parents flourish in many categories. The adoptive children tend to attain higher levels of education, higher self-esteem, and even enjoy better health. Adoption is also beneficial for the birth mother because she benefits from knowing she made the right decision to give life. Despite adoptions advantages, it has fallen on hard times. Research shows there has been a decrease in adoptions since the legalization of abortions in 1973. Before abortions were legalized, 8.7 percent of children born out-of-wedlock were placed up for adoption, and now statistics show that number to be around one-percent. One matter of concern for the pro-life movement is that women facing crisis pregnancies often have false ideas about adoption. Pregnant women think of adoption as the abandonment of their child, and see abortion as a much easier alternative (Ertelt n.p.).

Abortion is a very unsettling topic for some people to talk about, even in 2016, but however the United States should wholeheartedly support pro-choice views because women should not be forced to carry a baby and should not be told what they can or cannot do with their own bodies. I am pro-choice because i believe women should not be forced to carry a baby. Abortions were illegal so women got them done and used a catheter to do it. In the past, ‘Back alley” and coat hanger abortions were a very violent solution for a women having an unwanted child and would involve a lot of risks for the woman. Abortions should not be looked at negatively but should be discussed more for the purpose of education people about rape, incest, religion, and age.

From a freshman point of view, high school is like a huge skyscraper, exciting and beautiful, but also intimidating. To assuage this fear, I decided to take debate class with my older brother – a comfort to me – and the veteran debate teacher. Little did I know I was about to enter a setting in which I was going to interact with someone in authority whose beliefs were vastly different than mine, creating an environment that would challenge and perhaps change my feelings.

The Washington Post article “Abortion and the Adoption Option: What the Numbers Show About Women's Choices” says, “The National Committee for Adoption said that there are between 1 million and 2 million qualified couples in the U.S. who have expressed interest in adopting a baby, which means at least 40 potential families for each baby offered for adoption.” (Reid). These parents could offer loving homes to these infants, which is a better alternative than to end the child's life before birth. Some people might argue that even if the mother’s life is at risk, she can give birth and let her baby have a wonderful life with deserving parents. Some people claim that abortion is a selfish decision, because the mother values her life more than that of the person inside of her. No guarantees exist that the mother would be fine even after having an abortion, so it wouldn’t hurt to be brave and take the
