Abortion Should Be Illegal

Abortion should be illegal in the United States of America. Since abortion was made legal in 1973, almost 57 million babies have been murdered by abortion. At the rate of 2,900 babies aborted a day, or 1,058,500 a year, the death toll is averaging almost double the deaths caused by the “leading cause of death” in the U.S., heart disease. These are 57 million people, who could've grown up to cure cancer, or found a reliable and abundant clean source of energy. Also, women who have had abortions almost always are psychologically affected in some form or another. These affects include, but are not limited to; regret, anger, guilt, shame, sense of loneliness or isolation, anxiety and depression, and suicidal thoughts or feelings/actions. In fact,

Abortions should be illegal in the United States. Abortions have been occurring since the 1800`s. They were banned in the 1880’s except to save the life of the women. However, the Supreme Court ruled in 1973, in the case Roe vs Wade that abortion is legal in the first trimester. I disagree with this ruling because it is morally wrong. Secondly,every human being must be responsible for their actions. Lastly, there are many options available to prevent becoming a parent. We have to right to decide when we want to become a parent, but not if it involves terminating another human life.

Twenty to thirty million legal abortions occur worldwide each year. The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between – (Mother Teresa). Before 1973, individual states were allowed to decide whether abortion would be legal within their borders. The topic of abortion and whether or not it is right or wrong is a constant debate in todays society. Everyone has their own beliefs on the matter, but it should not be a question of what we believe, it should be the question of whether or not this procedure should be considered an illegal act. There are hundreds of woman everyday that have an abortion, and hundreds of innocent lives being slaughtered legally. The fact that this procedure is legal in the U.S, and that people actually see it as their “choice” or “right” to abort the baby, disturbs me immensely. Preforming the procedure of an abortion should be illegal in all states because abortion is murder, the fetuses can feel the pain during the procedure, and abortion can lead to psychological damage.

Around the world many women are receiving abortions legally and illegally. I believe receiving abortions should be against the law, with the exception of rape and incest. Taking the life of an unborn human being is not only cruel but wrong. The decision of taking another human beings life should not lie in our hands.

The topic of abortion is one of the most controversial and sensitive for the society and myself. The debates and confrontations between two opposite groups of opinion are long and sometimes even brutal. Both sides have strong supporting arguments: pro-lifers base on moral principals, which is life before birth, while pro-choicers defend political and social rights, such as right to privacy and right of choice. Neither side can be absolutely right or wrong; basically it is a matter of personal opinion. Mine is that although the abortion is originally wrong, in many cases it must be a legal option.

The topic of abortion is quite a controversial one, many people are both for and against the motion: “Should abortion be legal in the U.S.?”. The main arguments for this topic are “You are taking a child’s life when aborting.” but others may say “Women deserve the right to their own health decisions.” Many people are also in the grey spot with this topic, many believe under certain circumstances such as medical complications, that abortion should be legal.

Abortion: “the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy.” Is abortion murder? Do you believe in a women’s right to chose? This topic has been an argument since 1500 BCE. What do you think or feel is the right decision regarding abortion? There are many arguments that are pro-abortion and there are also many that oppose abortion. “If women become pregnant, they should accept the responsibility that comes with producing a child” (ethics - Abortion: Responsibility of the Mother.” BBC, BBC,), abortion should be illegal.

Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, over 58 million babies have been terminated. This number will only continue to grow. Abortion is one of the most controversial topics out there. Two people come into play, pro-life and pro-choice supporters. If someone is pro-life, they don’t agree with abortions. However, if someone is pro-choice, they like the idea of a women being able to choose. These two people are like oil and water; they don’t mix well. Abortions should be illegal in the United States because innocent babies are being killed, babies are individuals, and babies should have rights to their own bodies.

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court’s decision of Roe v. Wade to legalize abortions in the United States began the controversial debate about abortion that has continued to dominate current ethical and political debates. Over fifty-two million abortions have been performed legally in the United States from 1973 to 2010 (Ertelt). Even with scientific advancements showing fetus development, abortions are still performed on 21% of all pregnancies in America according to a national statistic in 2011. Currently there are about 1 million abortions in the United States each year (“Abortions in America”). With the exception of saving a mother’s life, abortion should be completely illegal in

Imagine a world with no rules,no restrictions except there's the forbidden forest that no one can go to and that is the USand its government. Why should we call ourselves “a free” country if we're taking women's choices ?Abortion is a choice so why is the government taking it away?Roe v Wade made abortion partially legal,but still i think abortion should be fully legal.Ive seen in the news where young teenagers are dying of street abortion procedures due to it not being legal in there state or city.I think Abortion should be legal.

Abortion should be illegal in the United States. Critics calm, “Rather than a complete ban on abortions reformers hoped to have laws made less strict, so that exceptions could be made.” (Constitution Book pg.37) The exceptions include: rape, incest, severe physical or mental defects in the fetus, health of the baby, and the health and danger of the mother’s life. This is called a therapeutic abortion, when an induced abortion is performed when the life or health of the mother would be endangered if the pregnancy were to continue. (Ebsco pg.1) What people do not know is that there are other options than killing your unborn child. Some people believe that life does not begin at conception. That is primarily based on what is believed in

In one year more babies are killed by abortion than Americans were killed in the Revolutionary War, Civil War, World Wars I and II, Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf Wars combined. Abortion is murder happening before they are born. There are three common forms of abortion; surgical, medical and chemical abortion. Abortion should be illegal in the United States.

Abortion is a debatable question that has been argued over a long period of time. The controversy of abortion has caused or may cause deaths and several violent conflicts between, should abortion be legal or illegal. Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed worldwide also known as elective termination of pregnancy (History,2016). Abortion is the destruction of the fetus or unborn child while the child is still in the mother’s womb. This procedure can be done almost anyone from the mother herself to back alley, most common, abortion clinics. More than 40% of all women will end a pregnancy by abortion and remains common in the US. But the questions is should abortion be legal or illegal?

Abortions have been performed ubiquitously for thousands of years predating the 1973 Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade when the United States made it possible for women to get abortions legally from properly trained medical practitioners. In the 1880s, abortion was a risky process due to inaccessibility to hospitals and consequently, was often performed in life-threatening, unhygienic conditions. “Prohibition of legal abortion from the 1880s until 1973 came under the…Comstock laws that prohibited the dissemination of birth control information and services” (National Abortion Federation 1). However, criminalizing abortion did not reduce the multitude of women seeking to terminate their pregnancies. It is estimated that “In the years before Roe v. Wade … [the number of] illegal abortions ranged as high as 1.2 million per year” (Tietze C, Henshaw, Induced Abortion: A World Review). For this reason, many women in the United States faced higher medical risks and psychological problems after attempting to self-induce their abortions in unsanitary environments.

Abortion has been around for thousands of years. Abortion was legal in the United states from the time the first settlers arrived. Abortion was legal until in the mid-1800s laws were beginning to be passed to make abortion illegal. All surgical procedures during the mid to late 1800s were extremely dangerous due to the lack of sterilized equipment and the untrained physicians who performed the procedures. The mortality rate of mother and infant during the birthing process was ridiculously high without today 's technology. Like every outlawed thing in the world, there was a back alley market for outlawed abortion procedures. The strongest force behind the repealing of the laws that made abortion illegal was the doctors who wanted to establish for themselves exclusive rights to practice medicine. These doctors wanted to prevent midwives, apothecaries, and homeopaths from competing for payment and patients.
