Right or Wrong? In January 2002 a college freshman, Karen Hubbard, bled to death after secretly delivering her baby in a bathroom stall at her dorm. Up until that night no one knew she was pregnant, not her family or her friends. Karen was a bright respected young girl, who had everything going for her. She was co-valedictorian at her school and was now on her way to college. In the fall of 2001 Karen went off to the University of Wisconsin, with high hopes from her parents. She was the last person anyone expected to get pregnant, but, on January 29, that all changed. It was around ten o’ clock at night when Karen’s roommate walked into the bathroom and realized Karen was giving birth. She heard a gush of water that …show more content…
Only a women knows what this means, so shouldn't she have the final say in what takes place in her body? Recently there has been an article put on a website that talks about pro-life and why pro-life should be the only option. In the article, it states the issues that make a women's right to get an abortion wrong and that abortions should be outlawed. It says that no one should deny the fetus the right to live, that it is a human being and should be protected by the law like everyone else. That if one did not want to be pregnant there is safe and effective birth controls out there. And that society needs to be more excepting of teen mothers. True there are safe birth controls out there, but not one is totally one hundred percent effective. And no matter how hard people try society is never going to except teen mothers. There are still teens today that are not using a form of birth control. They are too afraid to bring this subject up with their parents and this can result in unsafe sex. Due to this there are many teens that become pregnant and chooses not to tell their parents. They feel their parents will look down upon them, because that is how society sees young mothers. So they decide to fix this problem, the only way they know how, by getting an abortion. As of now, a teenager still has the
When she started to lose her population do to other crimes that were happening she became desperate and faked a pregnancy just to receive all the attention again.

The summer of 2015 I went camping with Megan’s family at Swan Lake in Carroll. Before we got to the lake we stopped at Hyvee to get some groceries. Megan’s mom, Katie, parked in the mothers expecting even though she was not pregnant.
Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth and is morally wrong. An abortion results in the death of an embryo or a fetus. Abortion destroys the lives of helpless, innocent children and is illegal in many countries. By aborting these unborn infants, humans are hurting themselves; they are not allowing themselves to meet these new identities and unique personalities. Abortion is very simply wrong. Everyone is raised knowing the difference between right and wrong. Murder is wrong, so why is not abortion? People argue that it is not murder if the child is unborn. Abortion is murder since the fetus being destroyed is living, breathing and moving. Why is it that if an infant is destroyed a month before the birth, there is no problem,
The strange birth of her first child ended up being caused by a medical mistake.
While people may have a biased standpoint due to religion or personal beliefs, chances are that most people have something to say about it. A woman’s body is her own; therefore, she should be the one to have the final say on any decisions regarding it. There are more than just two standpoints on this topic, though. “Pro-Life” is clearly stated, meaning that one supports life and opposes abortion. Often the terms “Pro-Choice” and “Pro-Abortion” are mistaken for one another. “Pro-Abortion” means that one supports abortion fully, while “Pro-Choice” simply means that one supports the rights of women to be able to choose whether or not they would have an abortion, meaning that it is possible for one to be “Pro-Choice” yet not “Pro-Abortion.” ("History of Abortion in the
The argument of abortion has been raging since the Supreme Court case, Roe vs. Wade, in 1973. This court case has divided the country into two factions: pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-life advocates argue that abortions are murder and extreme levels of child abuse. While pro-choice advocates believe abortions are a justifiable means to end pregnancies. The pro-choice argument is that the fetus is not yet a human being and its rights should not override that of the mother’s.
We Americans cherish our rights. Since the Supreme Court's ruling in Row vs. Wade, a woman's right to have an abortion has become the law of the land. Once a right to do something has been established in this country, it becomes near impossible to take it away. Pro-choice advocates accuse their opponents, pro-life advocates, of wanting to take this right away from women. It is a strong argument, and no doubt true, but if the right to have an abortion is ever taken away in this country, it will come from the pro-choice left, and not from the pro-life right.
Abortion is a controversial issue in the United States. It seems impossible to have any accord or compromise on this topic because the views of different people are so widely divergent. These views are based on whether people decide that priority should be given to treating women as rational beings and allowing them the autonomy to get an abortion or to enabling the development of a possibly viable fetus.
An ethical issue is defined as “an issue relating to moral principles or the branch of knowledge of dealing with these.” The ethical issue I have chosen is the issue of abortion; an abortion is “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks.” In New Zealand, the legal law for an abortion is up to 14 weeks. Abortion is an ethical issue in the Catholic religion as they teach that human life is created and begins at the moment of conception, they believe it is a sin and immoral.
She was “pregnant” twice in middle school. Once from “a completely real guy from another school” and another time from “a totally not fake old flame from daycare who had come back into her life.” Just more of her stories I was so used to by this point, however it was middle school and she was boy crazy enough to convince people it was true. Both pregnancies mysteriously ended in miscarriages when she started getting close to being found out.
“No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body.” I completely agree with this statement and believe that woman should be able to have a say in what they can and can’t do with their bodies. A big debate right now about this specific topic is abortion. My opponents believe that abortion is not right, and that it is basically murder. On the other hand, I believe that women should be able to choose whether they want to have an abortion or not. For example, personhood begins after a baby is born and can live outside of the womb, reproductive choice protects women from financial disadvantage, and access to legal abortion reduces maternal injury and death caused by illegal and unsafe abortions. I think that we should keep the laws that we have today and let women decide what they want to do with their bodies and be able to get abortions.
The Ethics Of Abortion is a very controversial subject that has been continually argued over for the past few years and probably many more years to come. The main controversy is should abortion remain legalized? Before we get into the many sides of abortion we must first define abortion. Abortion is the destruction of the fetus or unborn child while the child is still in the mother’s womb. This can be done by almost anyone from the mother herself to back alley abortions and even to abortions by clinics set up especially for this purpose. There are two sides to this abortion topic, the PRO-LIFE, which is those who are against abortion altogether and the PRO- CHOICE or those who believe it is the woman’s right to
She had never imagined the condescending look that settled on his features, when he told her he wasn’t leaving his wife for a pregnant teenager – the school would fire him; he’d never get another teaching job again. He had hissed in her ear, in that dark quiet classroom that if she told anyone who the father was, she would regret it. He sat back in his chair then and advised her to get an abortion.
Referring to the article; the key points of are that the healthcare systems in the U.K are making women who chose to abort their preborn child feel uncomfortable. Women already have to go through the emotional damage of deciding to abort their baby and feel that it is especially difficult to go through with the process due to the health care workers. The article is based around women wanting their own abortion clinic so the process of abortion will be less stressful. I chose this article because this has been an ongoing ethical issue for many, many years and to this day still a challenging concept between people.
