Abortion: A Video Analysis

One of the most frequently debated topics in bioethics is the morality of abortion, or the ending of a pregnancy without physically giving birth to an infant. Often times abortions are categorized into either spontaneous, a natural miscarriage; induced or intentional, which is premeditated and for any reason; or therapeutic, which albeit intentional, its sole purpose is to save the mother’s life. It seems however that moral conflicts on issue mainly arise when discussing induced abortions. In general, people universally agree it is morally wrong to kill an innocent person and in some people’s eyes induced abortions are the intentional killings of innocent persons, thus making them immoral. However not all individuals view fetuses as persons and consequentially argue it is not morally wrong to kill them.

First of all, to be put in a group of individuals that I had never met or interacted with before was always going to be difficult. The process of getting to know them better and finding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member was hard at first but the more we worked on the presentation, the better we became at communicating and getting the

I must admit I was speechless for close to an hour. I saw a video posted online, of an undercover operation in which Planned Parenthood’s top doctor is selling the body parts of aborted children. Having seen so many Internet hoaxes bandied about, I initially assumed this was one of them. After a few calls to respected figures in the pro-life community, though, who confirmed the accuracy of the video, I was speechless again.

At this time in the United States, there is no federal law requiring sex education in public schools leaving the decision to mandate sex education at the state level (Planned Parenthood, n.d.). While the federal government does not require states to teach sex education, they do provide funding for sex education programs (Planned Parenthood, n.d.). The federal government has never provided any funding for comprehensive sex education while they have provided funding for abstinence only sex education since 1982 (SIECUS Annual Report, 2016; Donovan, 2017). However, within the last decade there has been an increase in funding for teen pregnancy prevention (Donovan, 2017). This could be largely due to the numerous studies that show a more desirable

Abortion has always been a controversial topic in the United States for decades. Abortion is like taking the life of someone without their permission so it is technically “murder”. There is no such thing as an unwanted child, millions of families in the United States are always willing to adopt. On the other hand, there are circumstances where a woman can barely care and sustain herself so chances are that she will not be able to take care of her child. Or when a rape occurs, having an abortion is not as bad as when a woman has sex without protection and knows she has the chance to get pregnant.

In a longitudinal study consisting of 4,008 women whom have been raped once in their lifetime defined rape “as nonconsensual assault with force or threat of force and some type of sexual penetration of the victim’s vagina, rectum or mouth” (SOURCE 1). Consisting of three waves in 1990, 1991, 1992, researchers found that those who became pregnant as a result of rape knew who their perpetrator was. “Majority of rape related pregnancies involved a known perpetrator rather than a stranger. Boyfriend, 29.4%; husband, 17.6%; friend 14.7%; other relative, 11.8%, stranger and known, nonrelative 8.8%, father-stepfather, 5.9%; unknown-refused 2.9%.” Much like previous studies claiming acquaintance and partner rape is most common, this study supports

In the beginning God made all of creation and looked around and saw that it was good, and this includes us, humanity. We were good in the beginning, created perfect, holy, and righteous, made in the image of God’s own self. God also gave us the freedom of choice, the free will to decide to follow our selfish desires or to follow the will of God. Back in the beginning Adam made that choice, biting into the forbidden fruit and bringing sin into the world. Humanity fallen from holiness was cast out of the garden and so we find ourselves broken and blinded to God by our own sin. Since that time humanity has been torn between the righteousness we were created for and the desires of our own flesh, each day confronted with the same choice as Adam.

When an unexpected pregnancy happens the guys who aren't ready to be fathers try to hint that they don’t want to go through with it. They try and make the woman feel like it’s her decision to chose an abortion . In the good people Lane tries to hint at the girl he got pregnant she should abort the child but does not directly state it. He wants it to be her decision but tells her that she will be the primary care provider of the child if she decides to go through with the pregnancy. Lane it’s ready to be a father and tries to tell her by saying: he will be there he’d go with her and be there with her the whole time, and saying they could push back the appointment.

Before I watched this video, I had strong views against abortion, and I still have those same views, if not stronger, after watching the video. In the video, it shows the cell dividing only twelve hours after conception, so at this point I consider it separate from the mother because it is not relying on the mother to help the division process. It has its own power to multiply, so I believe it should be considered a human being from conception until birth. Anyone that chooses to abort a baby is just like a murderer in my eyes.

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.

The concept of abortion has been debated for many years. People have now separated into “us” and “them” groups where they are either pro-life or pro-choice. The audience of this specific ad would be people, adults or younger, who are sexually active. This particular image is selling the prolife message. However, it doesn’t necessarily sell well due to the negative vibe it gives and the aggressive message and heart wrenching image it portrays. The narrator states that people are in denial and that abortion isn’t a choice. The ad implies that it’s murder and that one should deal with a pregnancy in a different manner, such as through adoption or leaving them on the doorstep of an orphanage. The ad shows that abortion isn’t a choice, but they indirectly play on people’s emotions and guilt based on the visual of the hand with the baby models for babies that are from 7-12 weeks and the way they word their statements.

Before the documentary video I knew that there was a time that abortion was illegal to do but women will still find a way to do. But I did not know how extreme women would go to have an abortion or even worse doing it themselves were they were putting there lives in danger. Even though a lot of women were dying the law would not change in favored so women would have a some abortion and not but there live at risk. I was shocked by this documentary on what women used to have an abortion with, “Women were using Lysol, they would drink it or they would douche with it. Anything plastic, they would kind of poke in the general direction of their uterus to in effect to dislodge this pregnancy” (From Danger to Dignity, 32:45). It surprise me that abortions

Many women that needed an abortion came to the program for help. Most of the women either did have money to afford an abortion or did not know any Doctor who was willing to do it for them. Jane gave hope for women who wanted an abortion.

Every child has potential. Every child has the ability to do what they set their mind to and grow up to be whatever they want to be. Every child gets to experience their first day of kindergarten, and their last day of college. Every child gets to fall in love and start their own family. Whether you are for it or against it, abortion is a very controversial topic. Whoever you are, and whatever side you take, you have to have a lot of passion for that side. There are tons and tons of information and facts that support each side. Abortion takes the life of an innocent child who could grow up to be of great importance to the world. Abortion is a very meaningful topic to me. I have attended the catholic church all my life. When I got to the age

Being involved in a group project was a challenge for me, due to the fact that we had some communication problems between our group members in the beginning. First of all, we started with a brainstorming, analysing the opportunities of companies around Hendon Central. More than this, we agreed on the same firm and started our work. Within a teamwork, there are some challenges that occur such as remaining focused on a direction, splitting equally the work and choosing a good leader. Bearing all this in mind, I might say that we did our best during the presentation and we coped with the minor communication issues. From this experience, I realized that I am a good leader and I can manage efficiently a project.
