“WHY WOMEN SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ABORTION”
What it would be like to die so young and fragile? What it would be like to kill someone so young and fragile? Abortion to my definition is the taking of life. Nowadays more and more teens are getting pregnant and having abortions secretly and easily. Even their parents have no idea about this. And to be general not only the teenager do this kind of thing, many women in the entire world had abortion. I think if we asked that question about rape or murder we’d get a clear answer. Shouldn’t people be allowed to rape children if they

One of the most frequently debated topics in bioethics is the morality of abortion, or the ending of a pregnancy without physically giving birth to an infant. Often times abortions are categorized into either spontaneous, a natural miscarriage; induced or intentional, which is premeditated and for any reason; or therapeutic, which albeit intentional, its sole purpose is to save the mother’s life. It seems however that moral conflicts on issue mainly arise when discussing induced abortions. In general, people universally agree it is morally wrong to kill an innocent person and in some people’s eyes induced abortions are the intentional killings of innocent persons, thus making them immoral. However not all individuals view fetuses as persons and consequentially argue it is not morally wrong to kill them.
Abortion has been around for quite some time. Laws have been set allowing it and banning it during different periods of time. The procedures that can be done are all very different. There is a medical abortion involving drugs and there are surgical abortion involving a more invasive procedure. There are also different points of view on it. There are those who fully support the termination of a pregnancy and those who are completely against it. There are many factors to consider and very different ideas out there.
One of the most contentious issues in America, abortion, is still discussed on a daily basis. Women should be able to make their own decision with their bodies because it involves their bodies, health, and futures. Conversely, one of America’s presidential candidates wants to repeal Roe v. Wade, which allows women to make their own intimate decision. In one of his recent speeches, Donald Trump states that women who seek abortion should be subject to “some form of punishment” (Flegenheimer, et al.). Trump was highly criticized for making this statement, but he continued to mention that ripping a baby out of the womb on the last day of pregnancy is immoral. Trump seems to misunderstand that most abortions happen during the first trimester of
To be pregnant under the age of 18 is a controversial issue. As minor, she may choose to give up the child. As a minor, she may choose to give the child up for adoption, keep the child, or undergo an abortion. Many are opposed to the latter option, which is the early termination of a pregnancy. The root of this issue began with the Supreme Court’s decision on the legality of an abortion in Roe v. Wade and has stemmed into a debate of pro-choice or pro-life. The decision led to the polarization of the public, since the conservatives were against abortion being a constitutionally protected right. Pregnant women should have control over their body, and yet through case law conservatives are able to pass restrictions on when the abortion procedure would be done (Henretta, J. A., Hinderaker, E., Edwards, R., & Self, R. O., 2014).
Every culture and society does not allow or consider abortion as a rightful act, and abortion is a name of destroying human life. Now a days our society faces several types of issues Abortion is one of the complicated issue for both ways health and society that’s why abortion become a very controversial issue that’s become debatable in politics. In addition, these researches will describe the different issues of abortion, such as, legal laws on abortion, restriction of abortions, rate of abortion and consequences of the abortion.
Abortion is, and will stay, a ubiquitous topic of discussion. This medical procedure is performed when a woman has reasons to terminate a baby within the first 24 weeks of pregnancy. Currently, abortion is legal in the US, but in other countries such as Ireland, Poland, and Brazil, abortion has many regulations and only allow the procedure if the woman’s life is at risk. There are pro-life individuals and pro-choice ones. As a pro-choice supporter myself, I understand that banning abortion will put millions of babies, women, and families at physical, emotional, and financial risk. I believe abortion should stay legal because they are safe, they protect most women from financial disadvantages, and in oodles of cases, abortion is necessary.
The controversial topic known as abortion has been around for centuries. The matter has been forever the women’s choice. However, the arguments continue on whether abortion should be pro-choice or not. Abortion should no longer be a scapegoat for women and instead should not exist at all. Women should take responsibility for their actions and face the consequences, killing an unborn child due to the fact “it was a mistake” is no excuse.
Abortion is a controversial issue due to the involvement and impact on an unborn child. To help persuade undecided opinions, individuals have coined the terms pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-choice fights for the woman’s freedom and right to decide the outcome of the unborn child while pro-life fights for the rights of the unborn child. During protests, pro-choice supporters carry coat hangers to give emphasis to the deaths of many women who “undergo unsafe, illegal abortions” (Is Abortion Right? What's Involved in This Explosive Issue) while pro-life supporters carry containers with aborted fetuses as “a grim reminder of millions of unborn dead” (Is Abortion Right? What's Involved in This Explosive Issue). Both sides have strong opinions that
Abortion is one of the most controversial topics in contemporary society. People that are “Pro- Choice” agree that you should be able to have an abortion. People that are “Pro- Life” think it is wrong. Abortion should be legal in America because i is a woman's constitutional right to be in control of her body. . If you have a legal abortion, you reduce the chance of injury and death than if you have an illegal abortion.
Today in America, candidates rival one another to find the answer that will appease to American citizens in many different political discussions. One of the political discussions they struggle to face is abortion. The center of an abortion argument lies simply in the understanding of what defines life or when life begins. Abortion is the allotment of killing an unwanted baby, which is imprecise. There are many different ways that people perceive life. Many topics such as, birth control, pro-life, pro-choice, and rape, go along with abortion. Pro-life is the best choice in an abortion argument, which is believing that the baby has a right to live.
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.
Abortion is a controversial issue in many countries all the time and there are always two sides of abortion. Pro-life supporters believe that abortion is immoral, so they argue that it should be illegal because an unborn baby is life. However, they do not figure out that woman who is on the inevitable situation such as infection, rape, or extreme poverty would still have the abortion even though the abortion is illegal. Many women die due to unsafe abortion, which is illegal and performed by uneducated people. Therefore, the abortion should be legal to protect the life of ‘alive women’ because women’s life is equal to human’s right. I would like to provide more affirmative bases to support abortion in this paper.
For my final paper I have decided to do a on the ethical and controversial issue of abortion. In this report I will cover both sides of the abortion issue. I will summarize the stands of both Pro-Life advocates and Pro-Choice, by presenting arguments from organizations, authors, and journal articles from each side. As well as give a brief history on abortion and a look at the laws that govern this issue not only here at home but around the world. In conclusion of my report I will give my views on the issue and on which side of the fence my beliefs put me on. So lets begin.
Abortion is defined in several ways all of which stop a pregnancy. There are different ways of abortion, which are spontaneous abortion, surgical abortion, and medical abortion. Abortion has been arguable topic for decades. One can neither believe abortion to be good nor bad. The idea of individuality and human life is not quite the same. Idea of human life has come from conception; simultaneously on the other hand, fertilizer eggs used for in vitro fertilization are also human lives but eggs unable to implant are routinely thrown away. Would you like to call it a murder and if not, then how is abortion a murder? Arizona is known as a state that is very much against abortion. In 2012; Arizona was named Americans United for Life’s “Pro-life All-Star.” Since 1995, center for Arizona policy has supported 30 bills that have been signed into law that promote pro-life.
