Abortion Should Be Legalized Or Not?

There are many controversial issues being debated in today’s society; however, one of the more heated issues is abortion. Abortion has been around at almost every point in American history. Consequently, since the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade there have been approximately 57,762,169 abortions in America (“Are You”). This raises the question of should abortion be legal or illegal, and is this immoral or moral to do? The decision to have an abortion can be a difficult time in a woman’s life, but is not a moral way to end a pregnancy. Abortion in the United States should be illegal because of the effects it has on women, the immorality of killing a baby, and how it affects society.

Among all the issues that have been fought for or against in the United States, abortion may be one of the most popular issues that Americans are passionate about. Abortion is defined as the removal of the embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy. Thousands of abortions take place every single day, and yet public opinion remains at a standstill as to whether or not abortion is ethical. Everyone holds different opinions on abortion. The proponents believe that it is the women’s private right to determine the future of the baby in her body. On the other hand, the opponents think a woman does not have the right to decide whether the person that she gives birth should live or die. They believe that life begins at conception. In fact, a person’s stance on the issue is often determined by how he views the fetus: a part of the mother’s body or as a human being. I am an opponent, and I believe abortion is murder. Also, abortion should not be legal because it harms women’s health, affects intimate relationship, and women do not have the right to decide the baby’s right to live or die.

Abortion, to some it is the murder of an innocent fetus with a heartbeat. To others it is considered an option to be freed from the responsibilities of parenthood. We all have different views that can be controversial to the opinions of others. Yet, there are proven facts and cases where making abortion illegal is the best decision. Propaganda for Prolife is everywhere, but is there enough to show the world how wrong abortion is? I believe there is not, yet there are some very emotional advertisements that can change your whole perspective. Abortion should be considered illegal because it is considered murder and can have severe consequences for woman, and there are other options to chose instead of abortion.

A common debate in the world today involves abortion, the deliberate end of human pregnancy, and whether or not it should be legalized. “Every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day” (“Abortions Worldwide this Year”). On one side of the argument, people are not disturbed by this grotesque number, and on the other side there are people outraged and simply appalled. Although people attempt to deem abortion acceptable in society because of circumstances like the mother not being able to support the child or in instances of rape, it is still morally wrong.

The question is should abortion be legal or illegal? I am against the thought abortion and the action of it being done. Abortion has been around for multiple decades and it is one of many debated topics around the US. Abortion is defined as “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus (Marian Webster)

Which would you prefer? Not many are willing to discuss such a gut wrenching topic, but this needs to be addressed. It is a very controversial topic with having to do with women rights and activists. Since there are two sides to every argument, there is one side such as to make abortion legal and the opposing side to keep abortions illegal. In my opinion making abortion illegal can regulate the amount of women who do get pregnant. I believe that making abortions legal will let women receive the right treatment and action that needs to be done. I hope that this would keep girls from receiving behind the scene care that can put their lives at risk. Abortion is a huge dilemma, not just in Arizona, but across the whole country.

This film focuses on southern states and all the difficulties that abortion clinics down there have to go through. It shows only two doctors, because there isn’t many doctors that work in these abortion clinics. TRAP laws are laws that are applied to abortion clinics, which are really only there to make it harder to get an abortion. They make the whole process longer, and try to scare these women by saying facts that really not just apply to abortions, but any pregnancy. These doctors have to see many women per week, and often travel to other states because of the lack of doctors. Many of the women don’t have enough money which could be a reason for them to want an abortion in the first place. However these clinics keep getting shut down. They showed a map of all the abortion clinics in Texas and there was a bit over ten, and now there is only around four. Four clinics is such a small number, for the population number in Texas. Many women can’t drive that far out, because of their full time jobs and other duties they might have. This seems to be intentional though, a lack of clinics means lower abortion rates. This isn’t the case though, women continue to have abortions but not in a safe environment. One of the doctors they show is a Christian, and also helps in the clinic. They often get protestors that are pro life outside the clinic and they always shame him. They bring up how he is obviously not Christian, and why he is doing what he is. These protestors are allowed

When a woman chooses abortion she is killing a human, right? Wrong. There is no issue more polarized than abortion (Green 1). This issue is one that everybody recognizes and some do not seem to want to acknowledge. The abortion controversy is usually split between two sides: pro-life and pro-choice, where pro-life promoters see to that abortion should never be an option no matter what and pro-choice believers are for the idea of personal freedom and a woman choosing whether to get an abortion or not. No social issue in America since slavery has ever been as divisive as that of abortion (Messerli 1). Concerning abortion, a study done by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform shows researchers that there are “approximately 3,700 abortions per day” (“Abortion Facts” 1). The government should keep abortion legal because it helps women when they need it most.

The battle over whether to legalize or ban abortion in the United States has greatly increased in recent years; the moral, ethical and legal has been a continuous fight in our society. The abortion issue is also the most passionate and debatable in the United States to whether allow one to have free will over their body or have the government make that decision. Furthermore, it is one of the leading debate in political races. In this society everyone has a choice and they all have consequences. The choice for a woman to choose to have an abortion is solely her fundamental right. Contrary to pro-choice supporters, pro-life supporters argues that the fetus has more right to life than a woman’s privacy right (Head, 2015). I believe that if

The decision to end the life of someone without their own consent has caused great disruption among Americans. Before the civil rights movement, Americans idealized the idea that abortion was ultimately prohibited due to the fact that religion predominated the beliefs of the people. Now in a rapid changing-liberal society, people are questioning if prohibiting a woman from aborting is denying her inalienable right of freedom as listed under the First Amendment. The right to abortion should be left in the hands of a woman’s personal decision rather than being obligated to live with the results of something she never wanted.

Abortion has become a common argument topic in America; numerous individuals consider themselves pro-life and others pro-choice. Those who consider themselves pro-life oppose abortion, while those who are pro-choice advocate for abortion to be legalized. I believe that abortion should be illegal and that life should be recognized upon conception.

Abortion, I believe has always been and will continue to be a very controversial subject. Abortion has been argued continuously over the past years and will always be a topic that is going to get people on their high horse. Abortion is defined as the termination of a human pregnancy, typically done before the embryo or fetus is capable of life. Basically a medical procedure done to end the unwanted pregnancy and the cause of death of the fetus. The most asked question is should abortion be legal? When it comes to the topic of abortion, there are two sides to this topic, Pro-life and the Pro-Choice side. Those who are against abortion entirely are considered to be pro-life, and those who believe it is the woman’s right to choose between keeping the baby or terminating the pregnancy are pro-choice. The solution to individuals who are for pro-life is to have the child and give it up for adoption, or raise it. On the contrary the solution to individuals who are pro-choice is only that of abortion. The solution of abortion is considered ethically wrong and should be illegal because there are consequences for both the mother and the child resulting from an abortion. About 10% of women who are having an abortion suffer instant complications, potentially life-threatening. The rates of women’s death from various causes after abortion are 3.5 times higher than after giving birth, and that’s scary to think that you could have so many complications to cause you to die. People think that

One of the most sustained debates over time has been whether to legalize or not to legalize abortion. While some individuals remain hostile towards any move to legalize abortion, others citing a wide range of reasons strongly support the legalization of the same. In my opinion, abortion remains inherently wrong and there can never exist any justification whatsoever to warrant its legalization.

Abortion (a·bor·tion) – The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Since the first abortion in 1821, there has been an ongoing conflict as to whether this practice should even be legal or not. Some see this as an immoral, unforgiveable act, while some see it as a necessary route for some people to take. This is an argument that has been going on for quite a long time now called “Pro-life vs. Pro-choice.” Both of these sides have very understandable and reasonable points as to why the people who are backing them feel the way they do. A lot of different points in abortion are argued, such as the nature of preborn life, the rights of pregnant women, the role of the government in personal human matters, etc etc.

As of today there are still quite a number of incidents where patients’ rights have been violated. In 2014 there was a case of a Woman named Rose who had cancer and was prescribed Oxycodone, After many tries at different pharmacies she finally gave up because they all denied giving her the prescription she needed. Shortly after this incident Rose passed, her husband Carl tells ABC Channel news “I guess some of these people make judgements about whoever’s walking in to get a prescription. They’re too suspicious.” (Cancer Patients.) According to the patients Bill of Rights a patient has the right for considerate and respectful care, reasonable response to a request for services, continuity of care and many more. (Diversified Health.) All of the pharmacies Rose went to violated her right to have continuity of care and should be punished. There has been quite a controversy over whether or not pharmacies should have this right to deny refills or certain types of medication to certain patients because of their beliefs. The two sides of this debate both hold the same reason for why or why not they are doing this, they both want to protect the patient and not have any harm done. Pharmacies who refuse are trying to make the drug abuse level go down and those doctors who are prescribing the medications are only doing what they need to provide their patients’ the best care and to relieve them from their pain.
