Abortion Persuasive Speech

From 1973 to 2003 around 1 million abortions have been performed in the U.S alone and after the Roe vs. Wade case was found in favor in Roe which has led to a large controversy over whether or not an abortion kills a person. Today I will not argue over which side is right or wrong, but show you the facts and ethics of an abortion, and leave you the listener to choose whether or not to believe and act upon these truths. First the argument over abortion is not about women's right. Many people associate abortion with women's right but this is not the case. The argument for or against abortion lies in whether or not an abortion murders a person. Now with that context set we must now look to see first whether something is being killed and the answer is yes. Any Biomedical scientist will tell you that a unborn babies cell is different from that of her mother and if an unborn baby were part of her mother the cells of the baby would match that of her mother but it has been scientifically proven as a fact that a unborn baby is composed of entirely different cells than her mother. This meaning that the baby is an entirely different organism. Also we know something is being killed because the unborn baby has different cells meaning a entirely different organism is killed during the abortion process. Now we know that a unborn baby is not part of the mother and that something in the least is being killed. Now that it is settled that something is being killed with each

- The overwhelming majority of abortion clinic—88%—experienced at least one form of harassment in 2008. 87% reported picketing, 42% were picketing with patient blocking, and 21% cited incidents of vandalism. And more shockingly, nearly one-fifth of all of the largest abortion facilities reported a bomb threat. (Jones, 2011)

Specific Purpose: I want to argue that abortions is wrong and as humans it is our duty to stop it.

Over the past decade, teen pregnancy has become a more common occurrence. C. Write Mills explained the concept of the social imagination as the ability to see the relationship between individual experiences and a larger society. The social issue of teen pregnancy can be looked at from a personal and public perspective. As a result of women becoming pregnant so early in life, many young women as well as their child and family can struggle emotionally and physically. Society is also changing due to the increasing amount of early

I know this girl will going through a lot of stress at this point of her life. She was pregnant at age 11, Right! Wow! That is unbelievable. I believe she will be affected mentally because of the attention that will surround her as she goes to different hospitals and different places.

Specific Purpose: I want my audience to believe that every woman should have the option to give birth or have an abortion.

All around the world, babies are being born every several minutes, yet numerous people are also becoming homeless every several minutes, occasionally it is the newborn babies. Lately, various amounts of children have had their own children too, as a result of it not being illegal to have a child until you’re 18 or older. Thus, they’ve been needing extra homes or orphanages for the people who can’t provide for those kids. This is due to people saying it’s their own fault they’re pregnant, and that they need to either keep the child or hand it over to adoption. Although people dislike abortion as a result of people saying they would be ending a life… these people clearly haven’t researched enough on how deranged a child in an orphanage can become.

At 13 weeks into her pregnancy, 29-year-old Jessica Smith lost her 5th baby, lifesitenews states. “I expected to be handed a blob that early into pregnancy. But instead, I was handed a perfectly formed tiny baby. He had perfectly formed fingers and toes. He had tiny, completely identifiable ears, nose, and mouth,” Jessica Smith told lifesitenews. According to Procon, abortion is one of the most debated topics in the United States (Procon).  Planned Parenthood states, there are two different ways a woman can undergo an abortion, the abortion pill, or an in-clinic abortion. The pill only works up to ten weeks into a pregnancy. The doctor will give a woman her first pill in the clinic, and anywhere from six to 48 hours later, a woman can take the second one at home. There are two different types of in-clinical abortions. A suction abortion is used for a pregnancy anywhere between ten and 16 weeks. It uses suction to empty the uterus. Dilation and evacuation is used for a pregnancy anytime after 16 weeks and involves suction, and medical tools to empty a woman’s uterus (Planned Parenthood). Abortion results in terminating an unwanted pregnancy and should be illegal worldwide.

Beginning with their education it is said that mothers who have their children when they are younger than 17 are putting their kids at risk for having lower test grades in math and reading; along with communication and social skills. (page10)Schuyler points out that “Children of teen mothers are [also] more likely to repeat a grade [and] are less likely to complete high school . . .” (page10). The lists of reputations the children will face are long but their education and health are the two main ones discussed. While reading this article I learned that sons of teen mothers are about three times more likely to become incarcerated and their daughter are at a higher risk of being teen mothers them. As for the health, children of teen mothers are more likely to have a lower birth weight; having lower a low birth weight under 5 pounds and 8 ounces put a child at risk for respiratory problems, development delays and long life

I’m bringing to you a concern I feel about our current abortion law on Pro-Choice. Some people would say Pro-Choice is fair, reasonable. I disagree for many reasons.. Reasonings being life is something given by a human being, not taken. If someone thinks they are of age to do what put them in that situation, that is their fault, and that small cell/soon to be human shouldn’t take the punishment for an action someone else made.

If I could wave my magic Fairy Godmother wand and grant you three wishes for your pregnancy, what would they be?

Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience to chose life Abortion is when a mother decides to terminate her pregnancy. Many people have different opinions about this ethical and moral issue. Some people think that abortion is okay, while others believe that it is inhumane and against their moral and/or religious beliefs. (Advance Slide)

One of the major concerns of having a child or becoming a parent is to do so when you're old and mature enough to take on the responsibility. One of the problems in today's

If teenage pregnancy rates continue to rise in America, the chances of a young mother becoming successful is very slim. Back in the 1950 's, financial costs to have a baby were not a big of a concern compared to today because social pressure forced marriage on many girls who became pregnant, but did not have a husband at the time (Schneider, 2014). Today, many women who give birth at a young age remain unmarried with very little financial help from their family (Schneider, 2014). Teenage pregnancies also effect the economy and where tax money goes. The more unexpected pregnancies that happen, the more tax money goes to children, some examples include abortion and foster care, and public health care rather than going to other parts of the government that

How many of you would like to be forced into doing something against your will, only because of the fear that society will judge you? How many of you, have heard a woman talk about her abortion experience? My guess, is nobody. Today, I’m here to talk about abortions and how political and societal barriers affect every woman’s choice at some point. When it comes to abortion, people have a difference of opinion. There are pro-life supporters and pro-choice supporters. People that are pro-choice, believe that women have the right to choose. Abortion is legal in Canada, yet no woman will openly talk about it, as society has labeled abortion as a subject everyone should stay silent about. This all comes down to one problem; societal and political barriers that still exist within our country. There are many issues that surround the idea of abortion, such as, young girls and women being degraded for getting pregnant and choosing abortion, students being taught that abortion is a sin, Canada lacking in the number of doctors that can provide the abortion pills to patients, and denied abortions being directly linked to suicide.
