Abortion Is A Road Of Major Emotional Tolls

There are many common pregnancy alternatives, but most often the resulting decision is abortion because it is effortless. Abortion is endings a women’s pregnancy by removing or forcing a fetus or embryo from the mother’s womb before it is able to survive on its own. Not all abortions are purposely done some are spontaneous like when a women that has a miscarriage. Rather abortion is done purposely or naturally it is a worldwide complication as to it being wrong or right. Abortion is an ethical issue that will be analyzed according to a personal worldview and Christian worldview. Ethical thinking will be examined by value-based decisions that address abortion from the perspective of a Christian worldview and comparing it to a personal assumption by addressing ethical dilemma, core beliefs, resolution, evaluation, and comparison.

I was raised Christian, where it is considered a sin to abort a child in the eyes of God. For ethical scenario 2, her consequences are very disappointing and difficult but also very understandable. Anyone could see clearly that this child would be a reminder of her tragic situation.

There is a concern among many, that it is not the woman’s decision to terminate the life of their unborn child. Fetuses are advocated for because decision making is out of their control. One of the main arguments is that the unborn child will not have the opportunity to live the life it deserves and because of that, women that go through the process of abortion will regret their decision. This is understandable, because it is a difficult option to pursue, not health-wise, but emotionally a devastation for some. Along

The theological approach to understanding morality is best described with the Divine Command Theory. According to Thiroux and Krasemann (2006), Divine Command Theory states that morality is based not upon the consequences of actions or rules, nor upon self-interest or other-interestedness, but rather upon something ‘higher’ than these mere mundane events of the imperfect human or natural worlds. In the context of pro-life; morally speaking, it suggests that human life is a gift from a higher power – God. Additionally, it suggests that God defines human life taking on varying forms ranging from that of an adult all the way to that consisting of a baby in the womb. Aligning with the principles detailed in the Divine Command Theory, moral and ethical guidance to the child barer would suggest that regardless of the severe health complications that would impact the overall health of the unborn child, should the women successfully carry to term, it would be morally irresponsible to terminate the pregnancy.

Throughout the United States there has always been a big debate on whether or not abortion is ethically acceptable or not. Though many individuals see it as killing a child, many others can overlook that burden and see the consequences of having a child at that point in time. Individuals who are put in a pregnancy situation and have to look into all aspects of an abortion and the reasons for this procedure, while also realizing the biological development of the fetus, and the process of an abortion.

Less than point five percent of the reasons given by women for abortions are rape. Fetal and physical health complications add up seven percent, another seven percent do not feel they are mature enough to have a child. While health impediments are troubling, women that, by definition, feel unduly immature should stay obstinate in order to avoid such circumstances. Four percent believes that an infant would interfere with their career or education, twenty-three out of each hundred gave the grounds of not being able to afford the expenses of raising a child and twenty-five percent stated they were not ready for a child, another nineteen percent are done having children, eight percent do not want to be a single mother, the last six have no reason. Overall ninety-five per hundreds of abortions can be prevented by being obstinate or having a tubal ligation. Under what premise is it logical to become pregnant followed by an abortion, when from the start you knew you did not want any

Even though Christie did not mention the claim in her article, I’m sure she would agree with Lee and George the better option for the child would be adoption instead of abortion (23). Next, Lee and George argue becoming pregnant in the result of rape is not a valid reason for aborting an unborn child. Lee and George state that a pregnancy may be unwanted but the baby is not posing any harm against the mother (24). Neither one of the other authors posed the statement in their articles but Traister would consider abortion to be an acceptable choice for a rape baby because the woman’s choice matters. Lastly, Lee and George argue the only valid reason for aborting an unborn child is when the mother’s life is in danger due to a medical emergency (21). For example if a pregnant women is diagnosed with uterine cancer then it is only right to remove the cancerous uterus along with the baby to save the woman’s life (21). This incidence would result in the baby’s death. Traister does mention in her article if she had to make a choice between her baby and her life, her rights to live would outweigh the rights of her unborn baby (Traister). This does seem selfish in my opinion but if you choose to die and allow the baby to live then the baby may not have a 100 percent survival rate. Christie does not address this claim in her article but since she is a doctor it is the ultimate goal to save the mother’s life during a medical emergency.

Over 99% of pregnancies result in both partners willingly participating in sexual relations. “All who are genuinely committed to the advancement of women can and must offer women who are pregnant, frightened, and alone a better alternative than the destruction of her own unborn child”. From 1973 to 2003, there was over 39 million documented American lives that have been ended due to abortion. If the mother's life is not in danger then abortion should not be an option. Being able to carry a child is a natural condition, there are some inconveniences but most are socially active, capable of working, traveling, and exercising almost to the day the baby is born. There are alternatives like adoption and childcare, but you should be smart and take responsibility for what you did. This information is important because it tells you about alternatives and that having a child is

Pro-choice supporters argue that abortion should be viewed as not be immoral, and sometimes a necessary choice a woman must make in order to be in charge of her life. Considering pregnancy from a woman's point of view, it can be very dangerous to

The author asserts that even though an unborn child has a right to life, it does not necessarily mean that the mother must keep it. Thomson (Feinberg and Shafer-Landau 31) confirms that the unborn child does not have the right against the mother that she should keep it.

Many would argue that the mother could be a rape victim, or that it was just a mistake that she became pregnant, so it is unfair that she should be obligated to have the child. Of course, I sympathize with the rape victim and believe what happen to her is unfair and cruel, but I do not believe that killing the baby would be the solution. From the article in our reading by Judith Jarvis Thomson, A Defense of Abortion, she says: “Every person has a right to life. So the fetus has a right to life. No doubt the mother has a right to decide what shall happen in and to her body; everyone would grant that. But surely a person's right to life is stronger and more stringent than the mother's right to decide what happens in and to her body, and so outweighs it. So the fetus may not be killed; an abortion may not be performed.” (Judith Jarvis Thomson, A Defense of Abortion). It’s as if the reason for the author saying that the abortion is not to be performed is due to the fact that the baby’s life is important or sacred. What right do we have to take an innocent, sacred life with no other gain then to prevent a “possible” harm to the mother or others, which differs from the previous paragraph’s examples to the extent that it was to absolutely prevent harm or

A teenager has just received the news of her pregnancy. She is not prepared and did not expect to get pregnant, especially at such a young age. Her mind begins racing of her parents’ disappointment, the judgmental remarks and looks she will receive, and if she is mentally and financially ready to take care of baby. She has many options that she can choose from, such as to keep the baby, adoption, and lastly to abort the baby. Many women face having unwanted pregnancies every year and have to face tough choices like the young girl above. What would you do?

Women have right to control their own bodies and decisions. As human free will, women can determine their decision for their future. It is sometimes inevitable to maintain their lifestyle that they have before they become pregnant. Although pregnant is the responsibility of both, woman and man, as a result of having sex, women should give up their career or study because pregnancy and childbirth are not as easy at all as just people generally think. Furthermore, women who have the abortion are in difficult condition, which is the unwanted. The Guttmacher institute research said that unintended or unplanned pregnancies were 41 percent of national pregnancies (Abortion Worldwide: A Decade of Uneven Progress). This high rate is from the unavoidable inability of

Any pregnant woman struggling with the decision of what to do about an unplanned pregnancy can experience many conflicting emotions. These decisions are no doubt life changing and the ultimate struggle is whether she is making the right or wrong
