Abortion : A Woman 's Choice

Abortion is the process of intentionally ending a pregnancy. Abortion touches the hearts of many because its consequences result in the loss of a human life. Its controversy stems from the fact that people’s opinions on this matter are rooted in their value systems, religious beliefs, and political socialization. Its prominence in political discussions today is likely to continue given the relationship between unwanted pregnancies and overpopulation. There is often debate about the constitutionality of abortion, as it is not specifically addressed by any doctrine. As a result, there has never been an explicit national law enacted.

There are many common pregnancy alternatives, but most often the resulting decision is abortion because it is effortless. Abortion is endings a women’s pregnancy by removing or forcing a fetus or embryo from the mother’s womb before it is able to survive on its own. Not all abortions are purposely done some are spontaneous like when a women that has a miscarriage. Rather abortion is done purposely or naturally it is a worldwide complication as to it being wrong or right. Abortion is an ethical issue that will be analyzed according to a personal worldview and Christian worldview. Ethical thinking will be examined by value-based decisions that address abortion from the perspective of a Christian worldview and comparing it to a personal assumption by addressing ethical dilemma, core beliefs, resolution, evaluation, and comparison.

Women’s reproductive rights have been endangered from early history. A woman’s job included housework and child birth. Around 1920, women started receiving their choices and rights. In the 21st century, women are looked at with fairness and receive equal opportunities, but there is one right being stripped from women: the choice of using birth control and aborting pregnancy. Society frowns upon aborting a fetus in the womb, but it fails to realize the circumstantial standing each woman is placed in and should accept the decision a woman decides for her future whether it is to use birth control or abort her pregnancy.

The restrictions and the debate that surrounds the issue of abortion has changed dramatically throughout the course of history and it continues to change until this very moment. All around the world and in every known society, women have used abortion to control their reproduction, regardless of it’s legality. Abortion used to be exercised freely in the United Sates, up Until all the states started to ban It and place a lot of restrictions on it. They stated that a woman can not abort except in extreme cases in which the mother’s life might be in danger. After the restrictions caused a lot of health issues and raised concerns on women’s health, The Government abolished all the restrictions. In this paper I will analyze and discuss three main positions on the issue of abortion. First, there are those who associate themselves with the title “pro-life”. These individuals are anti abortion, birth control, embryo research or anything that can control or cause any harm to the fetus. Second, there are those who at the other end of the spectrum who firmly believe that if a woman decides to abort, then it is her constitutional right to do so without any interference from the government. Third, are those who believe that if a woman is raped or her life is in danger, then abortion should be completely and solely up to the woman, but other than that, abortion should be illegal. This group of individuals are also for birth control and do not oppose educating

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.

On January 22, 1973, the supreme court justices came to a decision about abortion. I am going to start off by giving some general information about the laws passed and other events that have led the abortion laws to where they are now.

Effective February 22, 2017. This bill proposes that a mother of a child should have the choice of abortion of their child. The bill should be passed because the government has passed the law of that abortion is prohibited in 30 states of their choice. As a girl my opinion is that women should have choice to abort their child or not to abort their child. Even if it's a rape, or even incest. That's why this bill should be a law. This will make the mother even happier that having there child be killed with abortion. The cost might come up to be 2 million dollars. This will totally help the mothers which means more than the 2 million dollars. This money will come

The topic of abortion has been an ongoing debate for many years. According to ProChoice.org, abortion was legal in in the days of the early settlers. At the time that the constitution was adopted abortions were legal. Abortions were openly advertised and performed before the first fetal movement (13-16 weeks from the start of a women’s last period).

A female who is in a life or death situation due to her fetus should have the alternative to terminate her pregnancy. In the article,”Doctors say abortions do sometimes save women’s lives,” it says,”to allow abortion if necessary to prevent the death of a mother.” An example of this is with a woman named Cecily Kellogg, a 44 year old writer who lives near Philadelphia, was put in a situation where she was 6 months pregnant with 2 twin boys and developed severe preeclampsia. One fetus had died and she dealt with her liver shutting down, her kidneys shutting down, and was expecting to seize any minute. Doctors had to quickly dilate her cervix and perform an abortion to save her life. “I fought it- But they told me I would die- that it was either

Abortion is happening more often and now more than ever, action against it should emerge.

Have you ever heard of the word abortion at all? Abortion is a very diverse topic in our world today, especially in the United States. Many people do not know what abortion really means. Abortion is when a woman purposely terminates, or kills, her pregnancy, most often during the first 28 weeks after conception (Google). While some some people know this, still others are not aware of why someone would choose to have an abortion. Many people may think rape is the highest cause women have abortions. But, what they do not know, is less than 1% of women have an abortion after being raped (Abortions in America). The two major reasons women have abortions are because of poor finances and responsibility. Both reasons are 21% of all the explanations women give when they are having an abortion (Abortions in America). The other causes include:her life would change too much, which is 16%; she is unmarried, 12%; too young or immature, 11%; she has all she wants, 8%; or the baby has potential health problems (Abortions in America). This shows that when legalizing abortion, all these women that are having abortions because of those reasons, will have access to professionally-performed abortion centers and will reduce the risk of death from unsafe, illegal abortions (Abortion).

Considering the political aspects of all the researches mentioned, it is recommended that abortion should be considered as a human right. Even though countries like Northern Ireland and few other countries are against the idea of considering abortion as a human right, however, based on the evaluation of the researches and evidence, the researches that supports the legal right of abortion seemed more rational and logical compared to researches that went against abortion. For instance, the research data of the United Nations’ and United States’ political view on abortion was from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, journal of Health and Human Rights, and International Covenant on Civil and Political Right provided credibility and sufficient

In our society today, people have various opinions on abortion. Most of the United States says that abortion should be legal. However, there are people who choose pro life and want to save the lives of the unborn. Those who believe abortion is acceptable have many reasons for their belief. Their various reasons are if the pregnancy is caused by a crime such as, rape, incest, or child abuse, abortion is a choice because the baby was an accident and most likely not wanted because of the situation it was conceived. When a mother has an ultrasound and finds out her baby is going to be born handicapped, puts a fear in them. Many mothers second think their pregnancy. Depressingly enough, a lot of women do not want the responsibility of nurturing a baby that has disadvantages. It takes a lot of

Abortion is a deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. There are series of legal, moral and ethical issues which may arise about abortion. Most arguments about abortion are often focused on political insinuations and the legal aspect of such actions. Some frequently asked questions’ regarding the issue is if the practice should be outlawed and regarded as murder or should women have the right to practice it. For example, prior to becoming pregnant, some women feel that they would be able to choose the abortion option without trouble. However, even with reasons why having an abortion would be the best option, some women feel that this decision would not be right for them. On the other hand, some women have a strong belief that abortion is unethical prior to becoming pregnant.

Researchers including philosophers have defined the term abortion according to how right or wrong they want it to sound. Some have supported the act while some are against the act. For those supporting the act, define abortion as termination of unwanted pregnancy whereas the people against it defines it as termination of life; fetus as it develops into a complete baby. Philosophical arguments are based on what they perceive to be right. They analyze that nearly all or all abortions ought to be unlawful claims relies on the declarations that: (1) the right to life begins at conception-fertilization; (2) abortion is illegal killing and defiance of right to life of the embryo; and (3) the decree should forbid unjust breaches of the right of living. On the perspective that abortion should be legalized in all or majority of situations is based on: One, just like men have the right to control their own bodies, so does women. Two, abortion is nothing illegal but just an act of one’s right. Finally, the law should not prosecute anyone who is exercising their right to have control over their bodies. The aim of this paper is to discuss the philosophical view that the perspective of women is very important in looking at the abortion issue.
