Abortion: Article Summary

Abortion is a very controversial issue with having no ground of common agreement with two polar opposite viewpoints. Abortion is-the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy (dictionary.com). Abortion was legalized in 1973 because of the court case Roe v Wade, she challenged the texas laws of abortion, her life was endangered if the pregnancy would be continued she won the court case making it legal for Roe, a group took the case to the supreme court and made abortion legal for everyone(procon.org).The two contrasting perspectives i'm addressing are for abortion these people are for the women making the choice and for planned parenthood, and against abortion, not killing innocent human beings because of inconvenience to us.

Abortion has been widely controversial and still is controversial to this day. Opinions on the topic continue to change over time as well as laws changing to allow it or make it illegal. These changes will vary on factors like politics and the religion that is practiced in the country. Just like countries vary on whether it is widely accepted or not, the same goes for religions. Catholicism has been traditionally conservative and has taken a pro-life stance over the years. Buddhism, while not conservative has also taken a pro-life stance. Abortion continues to be ethically controversial based on the question on whether life begins at conception, at a later time during development, and whether or not we

Abortion—what a controversial topic it can be. It is something that people are either for or against and not many in-between. It is a taboo of sorts, but as time goes on, it seems to only be a taboo if you are against abortion, not for it. Mainly because if you are against abortion then you are clearly against women’s rights in general. To be for abortion is “all the rage” these days because our society is so focused on equality, and all things equality. However, while we are fighting for equal rights, we are not even taking into consideration the victims, both of them. Now believe me, I am all about equality for women, after all, I am a woman, but a woman killing her child is not something in the equality battle. In the case of

According to The Catholic Encyclopedia, abortion can be defined as the loss of a fetal life. Today, abortion is a very controversial topic. There are people who are pro-life, and they do not believe in allowing abortion. On the other hand, there are those who are pro-choice, and they believe that a mother should have the choice for whether or not she continues with the pregnancy. I believe the mother should have the right to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy because of the particular circumstance a mother is in.

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).

Women who are planning on having an abortion should consider the health risk associated with the procedure. Not to mention, the abortion procedure can cause many health issues associated with a woman’s body. A pelvic defect can be caused when germs access the uterus and cause contamination within the pelvic locale. Although it can be treated with antibiotics, but if it is not treated with antibiotics a surgery will have to take place (Ramah International). Even though it is normal for a woman to bleed after an abortion, heavy bleeding is out the norm which means the person would need to receive medical help from a doctor. When performing the procedure in giving an abortion the abortionist uses different tools to cut open the cervix this can

This will probably be my longest post, but the most meaningful and, I believe, it is worth reading....We are going to have Irish twins! Yes this is way earlier than we were expecting and yes people will judge us, but I just don't care. Yeah we may not have been ready, but at least we are taking responsibility for our actions. I'm not going out there getting abortions like so many! You make that choice, and you take that risk of getting pregnant when you decide to be unsafe, end of story.

“No! I am sick and tired! It has to end! How many more of my friends have to tell me that their older brother did it again (forced them to have sex)? How many times do I have to hear Andra my stepmother slapped me again for something petty as forgetting to put your shoes in the room or for not knowing where their father was located? How many more young girls are going to confess that they are going to have an abortion because if their parents ever found out they would kill them?” The question still remains how many more?

Abortion was banned in America for more hundred years. However, people who fought for legal abortion were won in 1973. Since then, those who disagreed with abortion began to protest by sitting down the clinic, which was the first one opened in the 1970s, trying to block the entrance. Unfortunately, they were arrested and regarded as part of the dangerous jail of the protest then (Durrett, 44). The main reason why people, who are called pro-lifers, argued for abortion is that it is harmful to women’s health. Abortion exists a great risk of the uterus and cervix damage, it may bring about miscarriage in the future. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) statistic, the data of death resulted from abortion and childbearing demonstrated that 138 women died by following legal abortion in America between 1972 to 1978.

Perhaps, the author may totally disagree with the notion of abortion because abortion can lead decrease of population. The writer may argue that destroying a fetus is unethical even though the fetus has not reached the final stage of reproduction. The writer noted that plants, animals and the non-existent beings on earth may no longer exist because human beings find it difficult to preserve the plants and animals. The author states: “the question of an ethical regard towards nonhuman beings deliquesces into a set of questions pertaining to artificial intelligence. Where does one draw the line between personhood and non-personhood? Where does one draw boundaries of sentience, if at all? Is intelligence embodied in any way? 2003 addresses the

In American culture today, Abortion is one of the most personal, widely discussed, and controversial topics. As stated in Merriam Webster dictionary, abortion is ‘the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus’. Pro-life and pro-choice sides take moral positions. While pro-life advocates fight against the termination of an unborn child, pro-choice advocates defend a soon-to-be mother’s legal right to make personal and heartrending decisions. However, no matter what the mother chooses to do, why should anyone have the right to force her to bear an unwanted child? Everyone is given the fundamental right to control their body and the functions it undergoes—pregnancy being one of them.

Prior to the 1900s, abortion was not regulated in the United States. With the rise of the medical profession and increasing immigrant population, doctors became more interested in the reproductive health care process. The American Medical Association (AMA) began to advocate for the criminalization of abortion, stating the need to protect women from the dangerous chemicals used to induce abortion (Solinger, 2015). However, amongst members of the AMA, it was known that the criminalization of abortion would work to correct declining white birth rates. Rickie Solinger (2015) states:

It is a proven fact that thirty-six or more abortions are performed on women carrying a child

In a discussion of both politics and morality, medical anthropologist M. Jean Heriot compares and contrasts several proposed Mississippi Laws that concern abortion. In doing so, she discusses both the implications of various definitions of personhood as given to the fetus, as well as the rights of the mother and how they are impacted by these definitions.
