Abortion Controversy: Pro Life Or Pro-Choice?

Abortion has been a heated debate in the United States for decades. Since before the ruling on Roe v. Wade, it is clear that this is an issue that is far from ever being decided upon. Between those who are pro-life and those who are pro-choice, scholars from both sides work on disproving the morality of the other side. With the evolution of abortion laws and regulation through the decades, it is difficult to imagine the United States without conflict pertaining to abortion. Despite pro-life and pro-choice agendas, the country is in ever-changing opinion when it comes to abortion.

Pro-choice has been a major topic ever since the women’s movements started in the early 1970’s, a question sometimes asked is that, if part of the population are so pro-life and worry about protecting a fetus, how come when the child is conceived they suddenly bash at you for having that unwanted child anyways, and that is hypocritical. In this essay, details include would be why people choose to be pro-choice, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the battle for reproductive justice for women and their right to make decisions for their body, advocates that are pro-choice, proposals for a pro-choice government, and Tomi Lahren being fired for stating she was pro-choice.

The controversy surrounding abortion has been long debated since the Roe v Wade case (1973) as pro-life advocates and pro-choice advocates go neck to neck on whether the process should be banned or remain legal. According to APA (American Psychological Association), abortion is the “medical or surgical termination of a pregnancy and is one of the oldest, most common and most controversial medical procedures”. To be Pro-Life means to be against the termination of a fetus; one who is not in favor of the practice. Pro-life advocates believe a woman should continue the pregnancy and deliver the baby no matter the circumstance. Pro-choice represents those who believe the woman deserves a choice to carry the baby or have an abortion. Although the 1973 Roe vs Wade case legalized abortion, abortion is still currently a much heated debate in America as the surgical procedure is possibly on the verge of becoming illegalized. However, abortion should definitely remain legal for various reasons such as individual freedom, victim protection, life opportunities, failed contraception, and it is not fair for the government to make such crucial decisions for a woman’s life.

With recent developments in Northern Irish legislation for ‘on demand abortions’, the debate between pro-life and pro-choice has been thrown back into the media and the morality of abortion scrutinized under the eye of third wave feminism, which has reclaimed the 1970’s slogan of ‘The Right to Choose’. The following essay intends to discuss how abortion is always an option and never a morally wrong act, as it is the mother’s choice to do with her body what she wishes and such the fetus has no right to leech off the mother when the host is not willing. In this discussion one shall, as Thomson did in ‘A Defence of Abortion’(1971), accept the stance that a fetus is a person from conception, to avoid that issue all together.

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

Although there have been many debates about abortion since the middle of the 1800’s, it is still a large problem in current times do to the question regarding women’s equality and freedom under the topic of abortion: pro-life or pro-choice? There have been many restrictions put on abortion clinics and doctors recently in attempts to put abortion clinics out of business, ultimately ending abortion in some areas and states. Many women, such as poor and minorities, are unable to get an abortion due to the location of the clinics. The inconveniences of location, laws, and protests have brought down several abortion providers, which makes abortions difficult to get. Due to abortion being a sensitive topic amongst debates, many voters will listen to the candidate’s view on the subject and what the candidate will do about abortion restrictions. Even though some abortions are conducted incorrectly now, there were more prevalent problems back when abortion became a major topic.

Abortion is a controversial topic in the world’s culture today. There are two major stances concerning abortion: pro-life or pro-choice. If an individual is pro-life, she recognizes that a baby is a human in the womb and wants to protect the life of the baby. If an individual is pro-choice, she believes the baby in the womb is not alive and the mother has the right to do away with the fetus. Each view has a value judgment on the topic of abortion. A value judgment is a judgment someone makes on the basis of the rightness or wrongness of an issue. Pro-lifers judge that it is morally wrong to kill a human. The majority believe that a baby is a human at the moment at conception so therefore it is morally wrong to kill the baby in the mother’s

Have you ever wonder why someone else could decide if you could have an abortion and when you could have one? Why is there an abortion law? This is why I will be talking about a certain court case. What is abortion? According to merriam-webster abortion is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. In order for you to get a better understanding of the Roe vs Wade court case, I will talk about the background before the court case happened, I will describe the event that happened to cause the court case, I will analyze the court case and the results and I will tell the impact that this case has had on United Sate’s history.

In the 1973 Roe v. Wade case, a young, unmarried, pregnant woman, given the alias “Jane Roe,” was denied the right to an abortion under Texas law. She argued that this was unconstitutional and violated her right to privacy. Although the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Roe’s favor, there were stipulations put into place to protect human life.

Abortion has been a controversial topic regarding the political, religious, spiritual, and economical views of many Americans throughout history. Understanding the difference between pursuing abortion or rejecting it at the end is an individuals option. Abortion refers to the voluntary termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the death of the fetus or embryo.(CITE) Therefore, throughout the entire life journey of Congress and legal rights, there has been a drift of thoughts towards abortion. It can be represented both parties that advocate for “pro-choice” or “pro-life” and there can be two sides presented with both arguments. After many debates and thoughts on this legal topic, one must consider if it fair and valid to legalize abortion

The United States Supreme Court ruling in this case legalized abortion with some restrictions. For example, in the first trimester a state is not allowed to impose any restriction on abortion. In the second trimester, the state could impose regulations only to protect the health of the mother. In the third trimester, a state could prevent abortions except for in the case of saving a mother’s life (“Abortion History Timeline”). Roe v. Wade is the last major event that occurred in the history of abortion, and the Supreme Court’s decision still stands to this day. Although abortion is obviously wrong, history proves that the pro-life supporters have been losing a battle even with all the evidence against this issue.

In the United States abortion was legalized in 1973 in the case Roe V Wade but that didn't deteriorate the brutal feud on the issue.It's a matter of personal opinion,culture, or tradition that determines if it's a wrong or right execution.There's been a controversy for decades now on whether or not abortion should remain legal, in other words it's pro choice vs pro life.They’ve disputed the future of the women and the child through debates with few if any compromises.Abortion being legal reduces death and maternal injuries caused by illegal abortions.Abortion needs to continue being legal not only because some mothers or parents are financially incapable of taking care of a child

Rationale: The debate between being pro-choice or pro-life is an argument that continues to separate people due to one’s beliefs or values. With this debate I was able conjure an argument that states why I’m pro-choice. A boy in my class said there was two options, pro-life and pro-death, forgetting the real name of the other view (pro-choice). I quickly corrected saying it was pro-choice, because that is exactly what it stands for; one has the choice to make that decision. My audience are people who are not very educated when it comes to this matter, and Susan B. Anthony. I believe everyone has the right to their own beliefs and values. However, how could someone possibly impose their beliefs on everyone and condemn them to one option. My

How a woman uses her body is her concern only. If she chooses to have an abortion, it is her choice and that’s all that matters. Pro-choice is not the same as pro-death or pro-abortion. We are not suggesting that each and every pregnancy ends in termination -- only that the choice is there. It is going to be the person who is carrying that child who ends up with the responsibility of raising that baby, not the people who are picketing outside of the local PlannedParenthood. Perhaps if you are pro-life you can also just be considered pro-birth. Your main focus is to have a baby born, but not about a child raised, fed, or taken care of. If someone doesn’t want a child, then how are they going to take care of it? If we outlaw abortions, women

Wade that made abortion legal in the United States in 1973, there have been 58,586,256 legal abortions performed in America (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1). To put that number into perspective, there would have been enough people to fill century link field almost 900 times if they had not of been aborted. However, many pro-choice advocates argue that a fetus is not a human at conception, but rather a mass of cells. Controversy in the science and medical community continues over when a fetus is actually declared a human being, and there is still no concrete answer. However, there is a lot of evidence on both sides of the argument by very respectable people. Dr. Keith L. Moore, the author of Essentials of Human Embryology, says that “Human development begins after the union of female gametes during a process known as fertilization …Its’s the beginning of a human being.” (Moore 12) This is just one of numerous scientists and medical professionals claiming that human life does, in fact, begin at the moment of conception. But even if a fetus is only a cluster of cells, and real life does not begin at the point of conception, why does that give us the right to take away it’s right to live? One of the only things we have guaranteed to us in America is the right to live. According to our founding fathers in the Declaration of independence, life is an unalienable right, meaning that it cannot be taken away from you. If we are allowing
