Abortion Scenarios

Abortion has been a highly debated topic for many years. Until 1973, when abortion was legalized in the U.S., women were obtaining very dangerous abortions that often killed them in the process. Although abortion is legal now, members of society still do not agree on whether it is “right.” There are pros and cons of abortion, which can be examined by the three theoretical perspectives; Structural Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Postmodern Theory. This essay explains what the three theoretical perspectives are and how they view the social issue of abortion.

An 18 year old girl gets pregnant and can’t decide whether to keep the baby or have an abortion. Her parents are very religious and do not believe in sex before marriage therefore would not take to kindly to their daughter being pregnant.

Before researching on abortion issues, I never imagined it to be such controversial and debatable case because the problem arises from the very early stages of analyzing what administrative ethics would answer. I became overwhelmed to start because my mind became blurred on legality and ethics of abortion as early as defining administrative ethics: “well-based standards of right and wrong prescribing what public administrators ought to do in terms of duty to public service, principles, virtues, and benefits to society”. Ethics triangle is grounded on duties in the center with principles, virtues, and benefits to society augmenting it. Duties of public administrator involves those ‘obligations taken on while assuming a position’. They might

To my mom, a fifty-year old accountant in this society, the topic of abortion seems to provoke her. Making her upset about what other people think. She believes that what she thinks is right and that everyone should think the same way as her. My mom sat on her comfy lounge chair on that Sunday afternoon, reading her kindle as always. Her fuzzy grey pajama pants and light-weight t-shirt that read “No, I’m not a morning person” were still hanging off her soft, warm body in the late afternoon light.

One of the most contentious issues in America, abortion, is still discussed on a daily basis. Women should be able to make their own decision with their bodies because it involves their bodies, health, and futures. Conversely, one of America’s presidential candidates wants to repeal Roe v. Wade, which allows women to make their own intimate decision. In one of his recent speeches, Donald Trump states that women who seek abortion should be subject to “some form of punishment” (Flegenheimer, et al.). Trump was highly criticized for making this statement, but he continued to mention that ripping a baby out of the womb on the last day of pregnancy is immoral. Trump seems to misunderstand that most abortions happen during the first trimester of

The issue of abortion is one of the most sensitive and controversial issues faced by modern societies. This issue leads to topics of whether abortion is right or wrong, if it is the actual killing of a person, and what actually defines the moral status of a fetus. In this paper, I will be arguing against Bonnie Steinbock, who believes that abortions are morally acceptable. So I will be supporting the view that abortions are not morally acceptable.

Writer met with Joselina to review her care plan and completed it with her signature. Joselina also signed her crisis plan that we completed on the phone. Joselina told care manager that she is now linked with a new counselor (Andrew Irish) at Lake Shore Behavior at Abbott Road. She said she likes her new counselor because she really listens to her and understands her as compared to her old counselor. Joselina said her next appointment with her counselor will be on the 6th of next this month. Joselina said she will discuss her social anxiety with her counselor and hopefully she can help her face it. Joselina also told care manager that she will be meeting her Mental Health doctor (Dr Napoli) on the 15th of this month for the first time. Care

Abortion has always been a controversial topic in the United States for decades. Abortion is like taking the life of someone without their permission so it is technically “murder”. There is no such thing as an unwanted child, millions of families in the United States are always willing to adopt. On the other hand, there are circumstances where a woman can barely care and sustain herself so chances are that she will not be able to take care of her child. Or when a rape occurs, having an abortion is not as bad as when a woman has sex without protection and knows she has the chance to get pregnant.

On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court decided in the landmark case Roe v. Wade, that states could not restrict the right for a woman to have an abortion. Although more than forty years have passed, the controversy surrounding abortion rages on. Many different arguments are used in order to attack or defend abortion. It’s important to look at each of these from as objective of a lens a possible to keep bias, while unavoidable, to a minimum. Essentially each side of this argument boils their points down to be as follows, abortion should be included in a woman’s constitutional right to privacy, while the other side relentlessly argues that abortion is murder. What this says is that the side for abortion doesn’t see the unborn child as a person with equal rights to the mother, while the side against abortion feels that the unborn child in fact has the rights of any person including that of the mother. There are many areas where this argument can be taken obviously, but right now the point that really needs to be evaluated is just this. Is a human being’s fetus a person with the same rights as any other person, or does a pregnant woman have power over the life of the fetus inside of her? This question is not a straight forward one, but the answer boils down to be that based on the necessary requirements to be considered an individual person, the developing embryo inside of a woman does not meet the sufficient conditions to be classified as a person. In order to come to

Like every argument abortion has two sides . The way you see it is up to you . We are Pro-Choice we support abortion and the woman planning on going through with abortion , it is your body and you should get the choice of what to do with it.

When an unexpected pregnancy happens the guys who aren't ready to be fathers try to hint that they don’t want to go through with it. They try and make the woman feel like it’s her decision to chose an abortion . In the good people Lane tries to hint at the girl he got pregnant she should abort the child but does not directly state it. He wants it to be her decision but tells her that she will be the primary care provider of the child if she decides to go through with the pregnancy. Lane it’s ready to be a father and tries to tell her by saying: he will be there he’d go with her and be there with her the whole time, and saying they could push back the appointment.

Have you ever had a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or stillbirth, or do you know anyone who has? If so, how did you or your acquaintance cope with the loss? How did others react to it?

When a woman gets an abortion, it seems as though she's been raped or heinously violated in some way, shape, or form. I cannot help but get the impression that something horrible has been done to her that is not really according to her own free will but done to her as a result of her perception of dealing with an unbearable consequence of a previous circumstance that occurred to her by her own free will and volition, in most cases, outside of rape and incest, of

The authors’ theory was very intriguing. It was something that had never even crossed my mind as a possibly reason. They said that the reason for the drastic fall in the rates of violent crime was the court case Roe vs. Wade. This case ruled to make abortions legal. When I first read that, I was extremely confused, but as the authors started providing statistics, it started to make sense. Their argument was simple. Children who are unwanted or children whose parents could not take adequate care of them were much more likely to become criminals or to partake in criminal activity. Children who were aborted in the earlier years of its legalization were often going to be born into what most likely would have bred a criminal. According to the author,

Many women that choose to have an abortion do not realize that it is a dangerous surgery with serious side effects. These side effects are both physical and psychological. Having an abortion is unnatural and interrupts this function of the human body. “The women’s body naturally resists the abortion, causing physical and emotional problems” (“Who does Abortion Affect?”). Almost all of the women who had abortions feel that they have made the wrong decision. The women are not informed about the side effects of abortion. Many women that had abortions said their doctors gave “little or no information about the potential health risks
