Abortion Is The Right Solution

When he compiles his argument he begins by providing the argument for a ‘pro-choice’ approach which makes the assumption that a fetus is a being but one who's life is not ethically applicable and can be ended without moral consequence. This gives us an insight into the apparent symmetry between this set of ideals in contrast with the beliefs of the

During this article he will talk about anti-abortion and prochoice, meaning one is against abortion and the other one is okay with the choice you decide to go with. Anti-abortionist believe that everything is obvious and it shows how abortion is murder. Pro choicer believe that the truth is obvious as well but abortion is not a killing. Each of these groups will claim that their reasoning behind aborting or not will either be right or wrong depending in what group you seem to represent. In the article, Marquis wrote that anti-abortionist will claim that their information supported will be morally correct because of how wrong it is to take a baby’s life. As for the pro choicer, they will claim that it is accepted by the moral values and on how it is not wrong to take a human life. By trying to correct the problems of decision making it can still lead to other problems. The anit-abortionist will try to get rid of the problem by reconciling the wrongs of killing a human. After this it can lead to “It is always prima facie seriously wrong to end a human being” (p.253). This advantage can be a bit harder to reach because it is stated in this article that a fetus is a human and alive, but it still doesn’t mean that that the fetus

John Noonan begins his essay by rejecting several answers to the questions of when does life begin, he uses a word that the courts specifically did not use which is viability. Another is ensoulment. He uses what he called Catholic theology to answer that question plainly stating that if you are conceived by human parents then you are human. He reviewed the weakness of arguments about abortion to leave his position as the only one that made sense.

Warren’s thesis is that fetuses are not persons and since only persons have full moral rights and person-like beings have a right to life in particular, fetuses do not have a right to life. She argues that fetuses are not persons because they lack the basic qualifying traits of personhood or moral humanity. She also believes that the rights of actual persons will always override the rights of potential persons and that there should be no restrictions on when an abortion must occur by. Her argument is a direct response to Noonan’s thesis which is that fetuses are humans and therefore have human rights.

The general argument made from Warren is (1) If a person, they have the right to life, (2) The fetus is not considered a person, and (3) Therefore, since the fetus is not a person they do not have a right to life. Also, (4) A human being needs all the morals of personhood to be considered a person, (5) An infant does not have morals, and (6) Therefore, an infant is not a person because the do not have the morals to be considered a person.

In regards to the abortion law, the political debate usually surrounds a right to privacy, choice and wellbeing as to when or how a government may regulate abortion. There is abundant debate regarding the extent of abortion regulation. In 2012, Democrats and Republicans were more polarized than ever about the issue of abortion with statistics showing that more of Democrats took the most pro-choice position on the abortion issue compared to the Republicans. A greater number of the Republican politicians’ favor banning abortion entirely or allowing it only in cases of rape, incest or danger to the mother’s life, compared to the Democratic view that is pro-choice advocating with the argument that it should be illegal for governments to regulate abortion any more than other medical

David Harsanyi’s article, Dear GOP Leaders, Stop Being Cowards on the Abortion Fight, gives a conservative perspective on how the GOP leaders are backing down in their beliefs consisting of strong issues on abortion. This article gives an in depth depiction on how the Republican Party is failing to make a persuasive argument to cut off taxpayer funding towards an organization like Planned Parenthood. Within Harsanyi’s article, it is clear, that most democrats support the idea of abortion till the moment the baby’s head comes out of the mother. Yet most individuals do not ask the Democratic Party to elaborate on their ideas.

In today society, the topic about abortion is so popular because of the people that are either pro-life or pro-choice. I am pro-choice because of certain reason by me being and Christian it look like I am being and “Hypocrite” but, I have things I believe and do not let my religion take full control on my personal thought when it comes to certain things in my life. The question was asked why Thomson assumes that a fetus is a person with a right to life in her argument. In the article, “A defense of Abortion”, by Judith Jarvis Thomson, says” I think that the premise is false, that the fetus is not a person from the moment of conception.

My personal overview of this article is one that is filled with indifferences towards pro-life. Nerveless it has confirmed my rejection of the pro-life movement. Because it has informed me of how those inside the movement cannot act in coherence with each

After he has proven the opposing arguments to be unsound, he begins to focus more on probability as a factor. There is a four out of five chance that a fetus will develop into a baby. If the probability of development were different, there would be a considerable difference in the argument against abortion. He uses the example of shooting at a movement from a bush. If there was only a 200,000,000 to 1 chance of the movement being a human, then shooting would not seem so bad. However, if there was a four out of five chance of it being a human, shooting seems absurd. The same theory of probability applies to abortion. Since there is an 80 percent chance of a baby developing from the fetus, it is morally wrong to harm that fetus without a sufficient reason, such as cancerous uterus or ectopic

In the article, “Should Abortion be Legal,” [U.S Government Publishing Office] Pro life supporters argue that, Abortion in the United States should be illegal because it is murder because the baby is still a person maybe they are not fully formed but they are human. “The federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act, which was enacted "to protect unborn children from assault and murder," states that under federal law, anybody intentionally killing or attempting to kill an unborn child should "be punished... for intentionally killing or attempting to kill a human being."[U.S Government Publishing Office,Unborn Victims of Violence ]. In his essay he writes that,”life begins at conception when the egg is fertilized” (ProCon second point on debate)

To believe that murdering an unborn child on circumstantial grounds and to believe in the modern court process is an obvious form of doublethink. However, the pro-choice position has a quick rebuttal to this question by claiming that the aborted fetus is not a person or a child so “they cannot be benefited or harmed” in the first place (157). In other words, the unborn fetus is not included in definition for child in the slogan: “Pro-Child / Pro-Choice”. Seeing that this rebuttal would quickly lead to an argument concerning what constitutes personhood, Boss moves on to examine the benefits abortion-on-demand gives to the second category, the born child.

Based on the view that the fetus is already a small baby, some extreme anti-abortionists would maintain that abortion is impermissible even to save the mothers life. The rationale behind this view would be that the child is innocent, and killing the child would be active, on the other hand, letting the mother die would be passive. This introduces two new concepts, the first being the mother’s rights in competition to those of the fetus and the second being the question of innocence and how we would define this (Langley).

When faced with the choice of life or death, most people would choose to live. In fact, most would not want someone else making that decision for them. They would claim that as a living and independent entity it is solely their choice as to whether they continue to live or not. While this concept may seem fairly straightforward, there seems to be some great debate when it is applied to abortion. For many, they will maintain that the fetus has the right to life no matter the situation. There are some who will argue that abortion is morally permissible in specific circumstances and there are even those that will claim that abortion is always permissible. Why is there such a great divide? A major factor that plays a part in this is whether abortion involves more than one life. Because determining the beginning point of life is such a complex and emotional debate, there will be the same allowance in this paper as there was in Judith Jarvis Thomson’s “A Defense of Abortion”. As she eloquently put it “I propose then, that we grant that the fetus is a person from the moment of conception” (p. 721). This will allow for a look into the moral debate of abortion from a more grounded stage. As discussed early in Thomson’s paper, most of the debate on abortion rests on whether the fetus is alive or not. Whereas the focus should be on the many other aspects of pregnancies that may lead to a mother wanting an abortion.

“A living human person begins to exist at the moment of conception, even though only as a cell.” The road to human life may begin at conception, but to call abortion murder is ludicrous and a large exaggeration. Murder is described as the killing of a human being, and an unborn fetus should not be considered a living human being. A fetus is a group of cells that are completely dependent on its mother that cannot live on its own, therefore it should not be considered a human. One of the most popular arguments on the topic of abortion was the supreme court case Roe V. Wade. This case was about a pregnant single women (Roe) challenging the constitutionality of Texas abortion laws. The winning argument in the case Roe v. Wade, states that the “word ‘person’ as used in the Fourteenth Amendment does not include the unborn,” putting this argument to
