Abortion BWVW Assignment

Many say abortion is wrong for many reasons, one main reason, life starts from the moment of conception. Pro – Life argues when the egg and sperm join and form a zygote; this ball of cells continues to multiple and grows becoming a child. Not

Pro-Life believe that women should not have the right to have abortions while Pro-Choice believe that women who become pregnant should have the choice to have an abortion. When a survey is done asking Americans if abortions should be legal, illegal, or legal under certain circumstances most people said legal under certain circumstance. “There are variations within each group depending on how liberal or conservative one’s opinions are; some individuals who are pro-life believe that in cases of rape or incest abortion should be allowed, and some pro-choice groups favor waiting periods and other restrictions on abortion” (Arguments for and Against Abortions). Pro-Choice believe that the “fetus is a human being from the moment of conception; this means abortion is murder, which is immoral and should be illegal. While Pro-Life believe that“The fetus is not yet a human being because it cannot survive outside the uterus on its own” (Arguments for and Against

Pro-choice persons view abortion as murder. They view an unborn child as a human with rights to life. They argue that taking a human life living outside the uterus is considered murder, so killing an embryo or fetus, an unborn child, is also murder.

Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. Many people believe it is 100% wrong and even consider it to be murder. The definition of abortion is; “The termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth.” These pro-life believers do not support the idea of abortion and believe it should be illegal. Many of these supporters do not know that if abortion were illegal they would still be performed, unfortunately by an uneducated staff. Over 70 thousand maternal deaths occur every year because of unsafe abortions. These women die, so the idea of supporting pro-life is contradictory, this is why the nation should be pro-choice.

How would you feel if someone took away your ability to live? Imagine not having any say in whether or not you want to have a life. Well babies don't have a choice in their mother’s womb. If a woman decides to abort her baby, they can't do anything about their life being taken away from them. Their whole future is demolished. I believe abortion is wrong when committing it for a selfish reason.

life of the unborn baby has the same rights as the mother. Pro-choice supporters, on the other hand, claim that it is the

Based on video and readings, Abortion at very basic level is the termination of a fetus. When people discuss the morality of abortion they begin by asking the question is the fetus a person with the right to life. One of the main questions that are debated is when life begins, is it at conception as argued by anti-abortionist, or is it at viability as stated by pro-choice advocates. This debate has been raging since the Roe v. Wade decision 41 years ago. I will discuss the different views of Pro-choice vs anti-abortionist that make up each side of this passionate debate.

People that are pro-choice believe that women should have their own choice as to if they want to have an abortion. An example is if a woman gets raped, and becomes pregnant with the rapist’s childs. So she wants to abort the baby because she doesn’t want deal with the pain of raising her rapist’s child. Now, pro-lifers would call the woman a murderer. While pro-choicers would be on the woman’s side. And what if when a woman gets an abortion, she gets stalked by pro-lifers, calling her a murderer because she aborted her baby?

Pro-choice people are all about choices the more the merrier but in the end of the decision we want the choice to be made by the mother and no one else. Pro-life people talks all about life and only life but are they really for life when that also agree that rape, victim of incest and if a woman’s life was at risk abortion is doable. Not to mention not all pro-life feels the same way even when they’re on the same side. Yes pro-life do think more about the viable fetus rights other than the mothers but that does not mean pro-choice does not think about the viable fetus at all. Pro-choice wants the child to be welcomed into warm opened arms instead of a hard brutal world depending on the mother’s situation. Such as if the mother had no one to turn to and was out in the street and could barely provide for herself.

Abortion rights (or lack thereof) are a contentious issue to discuss, not just in this country but around the world. I am a pro-choice person because I feel that women should have the right to decide what to do with their bodies; equal rights, just like men are able to decide what to do with their own bodies. I have always come from a scientific background both in terms of overall thinking/rationale and in education. To me, the pro-life argument that life begins at conception makes no sense to me. A fertilized egg/fetus is not alive, just like a bacterium is not life.

Abortion is further viewed as a malicious act even when science becomes involved. Supporters of abortion attempt to justify their ideas by using the nature of preborn life. Pro-choice activists try to claim that we don’t know when life begins, when in reality, embryology textbooks and even other pro-choice advocates admit that human life begins when the egg and sperm unite. The promoters of abortion then go on to try and say that even though biological life begins at conception, we don’t know when personhood begins. This claim of personal identity is debunked when it is pointed out that the extremity at which rights of personhood should be granted is not something we know or don’t know, but it is something we decide. We as humans are the deciding factor in which we want to believe something should have rights. A human is created with a unique genetic identification that remains unchanged throughout his or her entire life once the egg becomes fertilized by the sperm. The being that is created by fertilization is now it’s own person and that new individual has a foundational right to life, which must be protected by the government, making abortion

When someone is "pro-choice”, that person wants independence with respect to their own reproductive systems as long as they do not violate the autonomy of others (Head). Pro-choice supporters assert strongly that celibacy and abstinence; Contraception use; Emergency contraception use; Abortion, for the first two trimesters of pregnancy; and Childbirth to remain legal (Head).I find it very disturbing that people are willing to abort a child from second trimester to child birth. I find it unethical and inhuman. Unless that mother has 90 percent chance of dying by keeping the child, they should then have the choice of going through with it or getting an abortion. I personally think if someone wants to have an abortion because they were careless, there should be a limit on the timing. Even if it was a rape-related situation, I would still consider the facts: By 21 to 25 days, the baby’s heart starts beating (Spuc). Most people of religion will associate this with life and say that’s when the fetus becomes a person. But the heart only pumps

All I'm going to say is there is a difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion. Pro choice is understanding that you have no control over what another woman does with her body. Pro choice is understanding that people make their own decisions based on their life. Pro choice is not necessarily approving of abortion, it's allowing people to make decisions, which is why it's called pro CHOICE. If you are pro-life, you are saying an unborn fetus is equivalent in value as a born child. If a fire was destroying a building which an unborn fetus and a living baby we're trapped inside, and you could only save one, which one would you choose? A pro-life person would find it impossible to choose, because apparently they have the same value. A reasonable

Pro- life supporters also argue their beliefs using the idea that life starts at the moment of consumption. However, this is a question that can 't be answered by science because everyone has a different view as to when life actually begins. Some may believe it was when consumption happened, some believe it is when a baby first kicks, others believe it 's when the baby is viable to live outside its mother 's womb, this happens to be the most debated in the science/ medical communities because the viability age has changed with the advancement of technology, the pro-choice supporters usually believe that life begins once the baby takes its first breath, which is when it 's finally born.

All around the world, unborn babies are being killed everyday. Abortion has become one of the most common operations in the US today. People that are “pro-choice” believe that it is acceptable for a woman to have the choice to abort her baby or not. They say that it is the legal right of a woman. They believe that a baby is not yet alive until it has been born. It is argued that a woman should be able to do what is best for her future, health, and body. On the other side of the spectrum lies people that are “pro-life”. They believe that human life begins at the time of conception and that killing what is unborn is murder. They defend this with arguments from science, as well as scripture. Pro-choice believes in abortion because it will benefit the majority of women and possibly families. They are looking out for themselves and their best interests. It is Utilitarianism as well as egoism. They believe it is morally acceptable to end the life of the unborn. It will provide the majority with an unwanted pregnancy and a way out of a tough situation. Pro-life is against abortion because of a religious authority and because it will benefit a majority (unborn babies). They believe it is morally unacceptable to end the life of the unborn.
