Abortion As A Social Controversy

The two most controversial subjects include politics and religion as these two topics are the pillars which shapes the worldview of every human. Attacking, disagreeing, or attempting to modify one’s political views can entirely disrupt an individual for you are not just attacking an idea, but

Often times, ideological conflict arises not because of facts, but because of other considerations. How do the conflicts discussed this week demonstrate this?

To begin with, there has always been a huge issue with the topic of abortion, why? Well, it’s a tough subject and can get extremely emotional and very defensive. Honestly, people just need to open up their eye’s and understand that it's murder and not just a choice. It is murder because two can create a blessing and the choice of aborting it, is more like a sacrifice for the reason a mother can’t carry a baby for nine months. Whether a person is a teen, young adult, or an adult and is in a horrible situation that believes they cannot proceed with the pregnancy, they should know there are other options. Teens aborting an unborn baby is not a choice and should be banned because it is wrong without parental consent, the rights of a child, and

Throughout this 2016-2017 year in my English 11 class; we have focused on formal debates with informed opinions

Even though the controversial conversation of abortion somewhat prohibits the open talk of there being other reasons that would make abortion essential and sometimes critical to the health of the mother. There are several reasons women are seeking and have sought abortions and were denied or otherwise restricted to laws and/or regulations. Rebecca Traister, senior editor of New Republic magazine, wrote in an editorial about her pregnancy and in her twenty fourth week (which in New York is the point of no return if you weren’t considering keeping the baby) she had thoughts of concern that if there were medical, fiscal or some other event that would cause more damage to not abort. This was a worry of hers, not only for herself but for other women who never had a chance, or choice, at all.

topic in which everyone will not really agree upon due to biased opinions. In the middle of the controversy, two groups have really came up with their opinions. These groups are

Abortion has been a very controversial issue in the United States for the past several decades. Many people think that is it morally wrong. To say that something is morally wrong is an opinion. Since everyone’s opinions are different on this topic there have been many court cases and protests against abortion. However there are a lot of people out there that believe that abortion is a rightful decision. My personal opinion on the abortion controversy is that every woman should have the choice on whether or not they are ready or are capable of raising a baby. Although there are many different choices one can make with regard to whether or not they are ready to raise a child, like adoption, it is still ultimately the woman’s decision on what they want to do. Carrying a child is a very stressful and sometimes painful process. There are a lot of financial decisions, health decisions, and future decisions that have to be carefully thought out before becoming a parent. Parenthood is a life-altering step one must take in life, and abortion is one way that a women can postpone or avoid changing their life in a very extreme way.

Many of the controversies between the sides seem to cancel each other out, where one side says something, and the other says something that

Many outsiders see the United States as a place of peace and harmony. But for those who live within it, know that it is the complete opposite. The United States has numerous amounts of worldwide problems from the economy to obesity to even pollution. Although some are more important than others doesn’t mean the small issues should go unnoticed. Abortion, the termination of pregnancy is considered a problem by many but also reflected as nonfactor to others opinion. In my opinion, I believe abortion is a growing problem and the people of the United States fail to apprehend it. The actual termination of the pregnancy could leave the mother suffering from a serious illness or even be fatal.

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.

Too often will otherwise perfectly rational people disregard proper analysis and consideration for how something makes them feel. This may perhaps sound reasonable, but it ignores the simple fact that feelings regarding issues taken at face value are misguided at best. Something insignificant that someone dislikes could send them into a flurry with that kind of logic, and it is that kind of logic that causes controversy to arise unnecessarily. If people just took some time to properly analyze issues and assessed its worth as something to argue over, then society would enjoy much less polarization and have more time to focus on legitimate

Choice, what is choice? Choice is the right, power, or opportunity to choose. Everybody in society has a choice and these choices have many outcomes. A woman’s right to choose to have an abortion or not, is her fundamental right. If society outlaws abortion, society is interfering with the woman’s right to make decisions related to her own body. Many theorists believe that sexuality is what divides women from men and makes women less valuable than men; keeping this concept in mind it can be said that gender plays an immense role in social inequality. In one of Thomas Jefferson’s speeches, he explains how we should never put at risk our rights because our freedom can be next. (lp. org 2007) Roe.V .Wade is believed to have been the

something that apparently, is resolved, but it isn't, so is important to focus the debate towards

We should not be blind to arguments made by our peers and professors, rather we should argue for our specific beliefs. If these beliefs turn out to be incorrect, we should be willing to change our stance on the issue.

4), instead of the “teach the controversy” approach. Misconception-based instruction acknowledges and explains the controversy, and recognizes the differences between social and scientific controversy (para. 5). Furthermore, Cook found research that indicated the negative impacts of presenting both sides of scientific debates. He highlights climate changes through his examples because it’s common to promote the lack of scientific consensus on climate change, which is not recognized by most scientists. In using misconception-based instruction, teaching just the scientific facts is not the only route to education; instead, the scientific concepts are presented along with refuting common misconceptions regarding the scientific topics. Critical thinking is important and teaching students to evaluate information or sources is even more important; however, learning is also about presenting new information and fitting this new knowledge into the existing mental models students have (Kunkle & Monroe, 2015, p. 153). This is the struggle--how do students reconfigure their mental models to accommodate to knowledge and trim
