Abortion Is Not Murder

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.

Out of 55 million Americans who live in food insecure homes, about 16.7 million are children. Almost 5.5 million children live in families who have lost their home. In Maryland alone, there are currently 250,000 children going hungry each day (Raphel). As we carry our lives day to day , many children are suffering due to hunger, the loss of a home, abuse, and many other causes. This issue has bothered me for as long as I can remember, I always think to myself, why bring a child into this world if a person is not fully capacitated to provide for that child. I 'd like to address the issue of Pro-Choice, and explain why Pro-Choice is not murder, like many people see it as. Pro-Choice as I determined is agreeing on the issue of abortion, believing that a person has the right to choose whether to have a baby, or abort it.

1. I wrote arguments in my persuasive and literary analysis to fulfill standard one. I used my research as evidence and combined that with my prior knowledge to make educated arguments to support my claims. I spent time going through information and analyzing the information to find sufficient evidence.

As a “Advanced Placement” student during high school much of my time was spent writing essays on various topics and challenging prompts. Many of my essays centered around structuring supportive arguments to push or pull the audience in my direction of belief. Writing a persuasive essay often included looking for multiple supportive cases, choosing two or three that best “pushed” my view, and including these real world cases and examples throughout my essay to help “build” my case.

Argumentation – An argument is writing that is used to convince the audience of something.

I am able to use evidence to back up my ideas and prove my point. My writing this year has helped me grow in this area. I have learned about the different types of claims, like claim of value, fact, and policy, and different methods of arguing, like induction and deduction. I have used all of these techniques throughout my writing. When I am struggling with a prompt, like for my quotation essay, I look at it like an argument. This helps me make my purpose clear. A good example of my strength of argumentation is my paper on why schools should not have letter grades. In this essay, I used points and evidence to argue my claim. I also used a deductive method, meaning that I started with an observation and worked my way to a conclusion. This allowed me to effectively argue my claim and use evidence to support it. I know that I am good at writing an argumentative piece and I believe that it is my biggest

(Ramage, Bean, & Johnson, 2012). The best way in choosing an argument is finding a topic that can make a good statement or debate. Gathering enough evidence to prove your topic, can have the audience agree with the focus. College students will tend to write on arguments that they are very interested in or something that they can relate too. There two main helpful ideas when choosing evidence and research. First hand research is research that has been established by doing interviews, experiments, surveys, or personal experiences and anecdotes. Second hand research is research from getting other ideas and or information such as books, periodicals, and web sites. All evidence of work must be trustworthy, dependably, and credible resources (The Writing Lab & The Owl at Purdue, 2016). The reason for an argument is to persuade other people or another person, to your point of view (Hult & Huckin, 2016). The 5 key terms of information are specific thing to look upon when creating an argument. Persuade who are undecided to agree with you, reinforce views with those who already agree with you, try and change the minds of those who are in disagreement, what is being written, the writer should have his/her own feeling to the choose looked upon or frowned upon, and finally, a college student whether they are or not, they need to show the ability to work through the

What do you think about when you hear the word abortion? According to dictionary.com Abortion is the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy and also any of various surgical methods for terminating a pregnancy, especially during the first six months. Abortion it’s a decision a woman has the right to make. No government should have the right to dictate what happens to the woman’s body. Nobody should have a word or say in the decision the woman takes. Abortion is an individual’s freedom, it’s needed for medical procedures and for a victim’s protection. It is the individual’s fundamental right to be in control of their own body and the way it functions; no one should be forced to continue another life if it was never purposely meant. You possibly know of someone who has gotten an abortion. They could have done it for personal reasons, reasons you will never understand. You personally had no say in their decisions, and just agree on what they planned to do. You were there for support because you knew they would end up needing someone by their side to help them out through this chapter in their life they just went through. This topic is very controversial and there is always to side to every argument and for this argument there is the side of Pro-choice and Pro-Life. Pro-Choice is what I support and what I will be talking about in this paper. By supporting my side of the argument by giving information on why it is a good

I learned from that first writing by knowing to reference credible historical events, but i also learned from the second writing by realized that using only personal anecdotes does not create more credibility and ethos to a argumentative writing. When credibility is applied to an argumentative essay , the argument of the writer becomes stronger to the strength of the ethos. From learning about different types of argumentative writing in class, i was able to comprehend and apply more credible sources to my writings to create a stronger argument.

In the article, “Becoming a Mother Made Me Even More Pro-Choice,” Maureen Shaw explains how she fully understands why people fight for pro-choice and points how her being a mother made her more of a supporter because of it. She proves the reason is not only because of the idea of abortion everyone is scared about, financial matters, avoiding to be a single mother, or simply not being ready but that it’s because “they respect children and motherhood” (Shaw). To make people understand the meaning of abortion and why it’s so important is the first

Abortion is one of the most controversial subjects that has been continually argued over for many years all over the world that poses the questions death or life. Abortion discusses one’s interaction where ethics, emotions, medical, and law come into place. According to the Webster Dictionary abortion is the loss of the fetus or unborn child before it can live outside the womb. The killing a human life is a contradiction to the norms of society, from a biblical point of view, one will believe that abortion is wrong because it is a sin that is stated in Exodus 20:13, the sixth commandment of the law of God "Thou shall not kill", and such an act should be outright illegal. Although abortion may seem to be the only correct solution for an unwanted pregnancy, it is cruel, unethical, and presents a double-standard for society; therefore, it should be considered illegal except under some special cases and medical circumstances that indicate a danger to the mother and child.

“There are nearly 1.2 million abortions performed in the United States each year” (Operation Rescue, 2014). That was 1.2 million innocent lives that were ended before they even had a chance to begin. Abortion has been legal for decades now, and it is time to put a stop to all the murdering of unborn children. This senseless killing of an unborn child needs to be recognized for what it truly is, and that is legalized murder. Abortions should be made illegal in the United States because it is taking the life of an innocent person, there are other options out there and lastly abortions are not only harming the unborn child but also cause harm to the mother.
