Abortion : A Lawful Alternative

Late-term abortion is one of the most controversial topics ever discussed all around the world. It is an issue that will contradict with several religions and morals of society due to the different points of view. Though there are reasons to outlaw late-term abortion, there are also reasons to keep the right to have this type of abortions intact. Knowing that there is a countless amount of things that can go wrong during a pregnancy, the soon-to-be mother should have the right to consider other forms of options, in order to avoid causing herself more damage due to the state she’s in. The late term abortion right should remain legal due to many complications in the pregnancy, along with other health issues the mother might experience. There are many reasons why late term abortion would be the best choice in a case that puts the mother’s life and health in danger.

Abortion has been a complex social issue in the United States ever since restrictive abortion laws began to appear in the 1820s. By 1965, abortions had been outlawed in the U.S., although they continued illegally; about one million abortions per year were estimated to have occurred in the 1960s. (Krannich 366) Ultimately, in the 1973 Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, it was ruled that women had the right to privacy and could make an individual choice on whether or not to have an abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy. (Yishai 213)

Every culture and society does not allow or consider abortion as a rightful act, and abortion is a name of destroying human life. Now a days our society faces several types of issues Abortion is one of the complicated issue for both ways health and society that’s why abortion become a very controversial issue that’s become debatable in politics. In addition, these researches will describe the different issues of abortion, such as, legal laws on abortion, restriction of abortions, rate of abortion and consequences of the abortion.

Abortion was a lawful alternative before 1973, from that point onward, premature birth was unlawful unless the lady 's well-being was undermined. Presently in 2017, as legitimized premature birth has turned into a regular piece of American life, an alternate side to it has risen. Where ladies once were prematurely ending since they “didn 't need a child”, the reasons being given now are ending up noticeably altogether different. Fetus removal has transformed into something that ladies are being constrained into from spouses unwilling to be fathers, out of dread of the monetary weight, out of frenzy from losing their occupations, out of frenzy from quitting school, or end up noticeably destitute, or out of dread of their folks showing them

Many people claim that the mother should have a right to choose what happens to her own body, but this does not take into account that she is also choosing what happens to another person's body, even if it is not yet fully formed. On the other hand, the fetus is within her body and she produced it, she should have the right to terminate it as she does to remove any other part of her body.

In history, women have demanded for women’s rights on numerous occasions whether it was for their voting rights, fair treatment in the workplace and more. Reproductive freedom is talked about in “How It All Began: I Have Had an Abortion” and “What is Reproductive Justice?” by Loretta Ross. These articles discuss abortion as a choice and a part of reproductive justice. “How It All Began: I Have Had an Abortion” talks about abortion in a direct way by talking about anti-abortion law and Project 218 being one of many responses to the law. Loretta Ross states what reproductive justice is and how the right to abortion falls into the framework for fighting reproductive oppression. However, they are linked together by their points of being able to have abortions as a woman’s right.

For a very long time, women have sought abortions to rid themselves of unwanted pregnancies. These procedures were conducted in unsterile, illegal facilities and the risk of infection and death was high resulting in the deaths of hundreds of women. In order to maintain the health of women, abortions were legalized in 1973 in Rowe Vs. Wade and women’s’ choice became a reality.

Abortion is a very controversial issue. To first start out abortion is the deliberate termination of a woman’s pregnancy, most often performed within the first 22 weeks of pregnancy. People can either be pro-choice or pro-life for abortion. Being pro-choice means that people believe that it is a woman’s choice to get an abortion if they want one. Pro-life means people believe no matter what if a woman is pregnant they should have the baby; no abortion. I intent to explain why women who get pregnant should have the right to get an abortion, if they so choose to.

Abortions continue to be a controversial topic for not only the American people, but the congress as well. Republicans argue their views on why the American people should not be forced to pay taxes that will directly go to abortions procedures, and Democrats continue to rebut. This controversial debate revolves directly around Planned Parenthood. GOP continues to push the ban on federal funds allotted to this particular organization, due to its involvement in abortions and alleged tissue and stem cell sales. But how is tax payer’s money actually being directed to abortion procedures? Realistically, taxpayers last year alone spend 528 million dollars that directly went to Planned Parenthood (Planned Parenthood, 2015). However, that money

1.1 million abortions are achieved each year in the United States. That number is down from the record high of 1.6 million abortions noted in 1990. 2,900 babies pass away from abortion each day in the United States. That’s one every 30 seconds. 15,600 unborn babies who are 21 weeks or older die each year from abortion. Some 58 million American babies have lost their lives because of abortions since the 1973 Roe v. Wade verdict which indorsed abortion upon request. About 50 million unborn children lose their lives to abortion each year universal. Preceding to 1967, abortion was forbidden in all 50 states excluding when the mother’s life was in danger. Amongst 1967 and 1973, 18 states additional exceptions, mostly to allow abortion when caused because of rape and incest, or for firm restricted medical explanations, or on demand (New York). In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court extracted two decisions, Roe v. Wade 1 and Doe v. Bolton 2 which, taken collected, have permitted acceptable abortion on request at any phase of pregnancy in all 50 states. The two original conclusions recognized legal abortion in such ways: In the first three months of pregnancy, no one can interfere with a woman’s decision to abort her child. After the first three months, but before the “possibility” of the unborn child, an individual state can endorse regulations to shelter the well-being of the mother but cannot forbid the abortion of the unborn child. After “practicability” of

Abortion is a highly debated and controversial topic within the United States. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. When you have an abortion, you decimate the life of a fetus in the womb prior to delivery. There were 5,013 abortions in the state of Oklahoma alone in 2013. In the same year, there were approximately, collectively in the United States, 983,000 total abortions performed. In addition, there have been almost 60 million abortions performed in the United States since Roe vs. Wade court case.

“We the people” a significant phrase that set the framework for the United States Constitution, expressing an illustration of popular sovereignty and the preservation of equality (1). While reading the first chapter of our textbook, I came to the conclusion that our republic is remarkable for its establishment in people, giving them the right to be considered dignified and respected as citizens(2). To read this article titled “Black Cornell Student Beaten in Racially Charged Attack” in the year 2017, invokes in me the importance for why students like myself need to be reminded what “We the people” truly means in the presence of bigotry(3). My decision to research this article, extends from my ethical convictions, as a student whose ambitions

Whether or not abortion should be restricted in the law is a controversial ethical, legal and public health issue that affects us all. While some countries have a legal restriction on abortion, Canada has no legal constraints: abortion is regulated and determined by the health act. Liberalization movements of abortion laws in Canada started in the 1960s by both feminist groups and the medical profession. This was found necessary to address the rise in mortality rates of pregnant women. A provincial chief coroners inquest into the deaths of women who received botched abortion revealed that this was a federal issue, and in 1968-69 a bill was introduced that removed the abortion ban, and made homosexuality and contraception legal. This was Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s famous statement comes in. The decision of abortion is left to the doctor and the woman, with no legal specifications to define when abortion care is determined necessary (i.e., to save a mother’s life or in the case of rape). It is a decision based on the physical and mental wellbeing of the women made with a medical professional. This subject was taught in detail in grade-11 history class.

Of all the legal, ethical, and moral issues we Americans continuously fight for or against, abortion may very well be the issue that Americans are most passionate about. The abortion issue is in the forefront of political races. Most recently the “no taxpayer funding for abortion act”, has abortion advocates reeling. Even though abortion has been legal in every state in the United States since the monumental Supreme Court decision, “Roe v Wade”, on January 22, 1973; there are fewer physicians willing to perform abortions today than in 2008. (Kraft) At the heart of the ethical dilemma for many in the medical profession is the viability of the fetus. And just to make this whole dilemma more confusing, according to the United States

Abortion is a controversial issue in many countries all the time and there are always two sides of abortion. Pro-life supporters believe that abortion is immoral, so they argue that it should be illegal because an unborn baby is life. However, they do not figure out that woman who is on the inevitable situation such as infection, rape, or extreme poverty would still have the abortion even though the abortion is illegal. Many women die due to unsafe abortion, which is illegal and performed by uneducated people. Therefore, the abortion should be legal to protect the life of ‘alive women’ because women’s life is equal to human’s right. I would like to provide more affirmative bases to support abortion in this paper.
