Abortion Should Be Illegal In The United States

Abortion has been one of the most controversial topics in America for many decades, especially when it became legal in 1973. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. There are many opinions on this issue, like is it the woman’s choice to terminate the pregnancy? Should abortions only be allowed during the first trimester? Are Plan B pills a form of abortion? When deciding on whether or not a life continues, all of these, and many more, questions need to be asked. Abortion is extremely expensive and harmful to the body of the mother. With all of the controversy, and issues that arise for the woman, and the death of a life, abortion should be made illegal in the United States.

There are approximately 353,000 children born every day. A handful of these children are born and end up leaving prodigious legacies behind... but what about the rest? Imagine… it's 2:54 in the morning and for some this would be the greatest time in their life, being that their child will be born into the world. For Jess, a soon-to-be parent,knows that having a baby will wipe away her savings in the blink of an eye. With the father of the child nowhere to be found, what kind of life would this newborn baby and mother have? What would their quality of life be? Jess knows she could give up the baby, but the thought of knowing her child is living in a world without her takes as much away from her as keeping the child would. If the clock could

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)

There are currently 29 states with homicide laws that recognize unborn children as victims throughout the entire period of pre-natal development, 8 states with homicide laws that recognize unborn children as victims, but only during part of the period of pre-natal development, New York is the only state with a conflicting statute, and the remaining 14 states do not have specifically appointed laws (State). Under New York statutory law, the killing of an “unborn child” after twenty-four weeks of pregnancy is homicide, but under a separate statutory provision, a “person” that is the victim of a homicide is statutorily defined as a “human being who has been born and is alive” (State). These two statutes are conflicting because the definition of “personhood” is presented in two different ways, giving an ambiguous solution to fetal homicide cases. The majority of the 8 states that provide partial protection to fetuses consider “personhood” to be given once a fetus has reached “unborn quick child” status. This describes a fetus whose heart is beating, who is experiencing electronically measurable brain waves, who is detectably moving in the womb, and who is so far developed and matured enough to be viable outside the womb with intensive medical support (Quick). While the specific details of feticide laws may vary from state to state, the main controversy stems from the pregnant mothers being charged with violent crimes committed against their own unborn babies and the legal difference between a third-party abortion vs. a third party

In 2008 there were 1.21 million abortions performed in the United States. That is three thousand three hundred and twenty-two abortions performed each day (Guttmacher Institute). The topic of abortion has been a heavily talked about topic for the past few years. There are two sides of the issue, pro-life, which is against abortion and pro-choice, which is for abortion. Abortion should not be legal because it is a scientific procedure, it is currently supported by law, and deprives fetuses of a future like ours.

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.

The death of a child is a hard thought to process. Think about the mothers of the unborn willing to give up a child of God to bear the thought of embarrassment or endangerment. Death is death no matter what angle it is looked upon. Abortion should be illegal anywhere in the United States in spite of the circumstances.

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.

Some people believe that life begins at conception, while some people believe that life begins at birth. There are now a third type of people who are now coming out to say that even at birth, a baby’s life is not really his/her own. What do you believe? While it is not universally agreed upon, abortion is legal within the United States and many other countries world-wide. Although after birth abortion does not seem very humane, Giubilini and Minerva make a point that ethically speaking, infants are not true people and unfortunately they make the point very well.

Abortions is an issue that many people talk strongly about and have a strong opinion. about. Abortions is the practice of ending a pregnancy by in which ending the life of a human fetus. This is a life changing moment in the parents life in which it should indeed be all up to them. In the 1970s, abortions were legalized in the United States after many of years of having this problem. The case was called Roe vs. Wade and Roe was a single and pregnant women that lived in a state where abortions were not allowed. She was fighting for other women and their lives. Her case was then In some states women have the choice and only one parent has to consent. In other states you have no choice unless documented as a rape, physically abused

One of the most controversial issues today is whether or not abortion is a right for women to have, or a nicer label for premature killing. We all know the two sides of this issue, pro-life/pro-choice, and their beliefs are indicated by their names. Pro-life believes that all life is sacred, and that abortion should not be legal, labeling abortion as murder. Pro-choice believes that life begins at birth, and that abortion gives women more control over their bodies. Currently, abortion is legal up to the third trimester during pregnancy; however, if abortion is determined as murder, there will be emotional outbursts from both sides. Pro-life supporters would be ecstatic, being happy that the “unjust act” of abortion is once again illegal. While pro-choice supporters would be enraged with anger, stating that victims of rape and incest are not being protected, as well as women loses their right to their body. For such a dramatic shift of current law proceedings, abortion would have to become labeled as murder. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, murder is: “the crime of deliberately killing a person” (Murder). In order for abortion to be classified as murder, it needs to meet the following criterion: one human being is killing another, the killer is in their right mind before and during the killing, and is completely intentional and planned out; making it seem as if abortion really is murder after all.

A long on-going subject that has been greatly debated in our society is abortion. Many people argue that because the baby in the mother’s womb is not alive, aborting him or her is not considered a murder. However, others say that as the baby’s heart and brain are the first things to develop, the baby is technically alive and killing it would be a murder. As soon as the baby has a heartbeat, it has life. Abortion has many characteristics of a murder, including the killing of one human being by another, it’s unethical, and it is done without the consent of the person.

As of today, there are still many questions and controversies surrounding the issue on abortion. Some pro-choice activists have argued that females should have the right to choose abortion or to give birth to a child. In contrast, some pro-life activists have argued that abortion should not be permitted because many believe abortion itself is the same idea as intentionally killing a human being. When it comes to the issue on abortion, there are differing reasons and views to consider. For example, from a Christianity standpoint, there are Christians who might support abortion, are against abortion, or will say abortion depends on the circumstances. From a Buddhism standpoint, there are Buddhists who will accept abortion because they

There must be a point in which the law acknowledges a life in all stages of development. Allowing late term abortion is taking away the rights of life to healthy babies. An abortion can be carried out any where from thirteen to thirty-nine weeks. Some doctors say that late term abortions are only done when medically necessary. However, there is evidence to prove that this is not always the case. In order to save healthy babies lives, late term abortion needs to be illegal unless it is truly a medical emergency.

There are some people that disagree with Thomson’s view. They argue that there is no situation where a baby life should be taken. They said that every single life is important and irreplaceable and equal to each other. Thus it should never be right to have abortion since it would kill an innocent child. However they are wrong, even if every single life is important, there are times when the lives of the mother and fetus will hang on a balance and only one will live. An example of one those times when the mother’s and fetus’s lives will hang on a balance were given early. If the mother is at risk due to the pregnancy, there is a high chance the mother will die when she gives birth. Yet the people still says that abortion should not be allowed. In this situation, is only two choices; ether let the mother die or have an abortion. But who gets to live? Based on the people that disagree with Thomson, they said that the baby should survive while the mother dies. I disagree with them. Why should the mother be forced to sacrifice herself to let the baby live. In addition, the people who argued against abortion did say that that every life is important and equal and yet they are will to choose the baby’s life over the mother’s life. Abortion should be allowed and the choice on who get to life should be given to the mother to decide. In the end, it is her life and body. The mother is using her body to carry the baby and keeping it alive, so she does indeed have the right to decide on
