Abortion Vs Human Rights

Abortion is never an easy decision, but women have been making the choice for thousands of years. It has become a large dilemma since 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court passed a law making the procedure legal, and an even larger controversial issue. The controversy is divided into “Pro-Choice” and Pro-Life” views. Pro-Choice supporters believe that the woman should have to choice whether to abort or not. Pro-Life supporters believe that it should be illegal to abort and preformed. However, there are many ways for this procedure to be performed. Abortion still remains today a controversial issue, by who should determine if it is the right thing to terminate a pregnancy or not and by how the procedure should be preformed.

Abortion’s legalization through Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade, has allowed for one in three pregnancies to end in abortion. This means that 1.5 million abortions are performed in the United States each year (Flanders 3). It ranks among the most complex and controversial issues, arousing heated legal, political, and ethical debates. The modern debate over abortion is a conflict of competing moral ideas and of fundamental human rights: to life, to privacy, to control over one's own body. Trying to come to a compromise has proven that it one cannot please all of the people on each side of the debate.

Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. Many people believe that women should get to decide what she would do with her body. The definition of abortion is; “The termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth”. Abortion is one of the most controversial topics today. Although there are two sides of the debate pro-choice and pro life, arguments are mainly centered around the Roe v. Wade decision, women’s rights and state restrictive laws.

The ongoing dispute of abortion has condemned the idea of women aborting their unborn child. Whether it be lack of support, critical physical or mental health, rape, or not being ready for such responsibility - all women have a reason for having an abortion. Therefore, women should have the free will to do what proves necessary and beneficial to themselves and their pregnancy.

Through every choice in life, there is a decision that must follow. Abortion is a woman’s individual choice; therefore, must be a legal part in todays society. Individual rights have an outstanding role in the controversial topic, on whether abortion should become legal in the United States . The individual rights for abortion show rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. As well, women should be able to have the choice to choose to have an abortion for several important reasons. The right to make these decisions should lie in the hands of the “mother” to make decisions concerning their own to make decisions concerning their own bodies. In addition, women should be given the choice to have an abortion if they are too young

Pro-life versus pro-choice has always been a controversial issue due to religious reasons and our countries constitutional rights. The woman’s right to have a say on her pregnancy has slowly progressed throughout our countries history, while only allowing women the right to make their own choice on whether or not to keep their unborn child within the past 50 years. “The 1973 Roe v. Wade decision guaranteed a woman 's right to an abortion,” states Judith S. Baughman, editor of American Decades. However, this was not always the case and still causes controversy among many people living in America due to religious reasons.

The United States has been divided now over the issue of abortion for thirty-three years since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade in 1973. As of today, over 45 million legal abortions have been performed in the United States. Pro-choice advocates hold these 45 million abortions as being 45 million times women have exercised their right to choose to get pregnant and to choose to control their own bodies. To pro-life, or anti-abortion, advocates these 45 million abortions constitute 45 million murders, a genocide of human life in the United States propagated by the court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade. The debate over abortion in the United States is thus a debate of two extremes. One side argues from the personal liberty of the mother. The

What this choice is, is the choice to have a legal abortion. Everyday people fight to maintain legal abortion. One reason they fight is to protect women’s rights. Women’s rights are rights that promote a position of legal and social equality of women with men. Having a legal abortion is precisely promoting that. It is allowing women the right to being in charge of their own body just like men have the right to be in charge of theirs. While some may see this as a selfish and even barbaric choice, this choice is essential to women’s lives. It is not a matter of forcing an abortion onto women or saying that the choice of having an abortion is not a big deal because it is a colossally complex and painstaking matter. It is a matter of permitting the option to be there if necessary. It is allowing women to make the decision for themselves, to have a say in what they do with their body. For, in the end, it is their body, and it is their

Abortion rights are one of the most heatedly debates in society. There are many arguments for and against abortion. Each woman has the right to an abortion and the right to have a child. Women have the resources, rights, and respect to make reproductive health decisions that are best for themselves. (“Women’s”) We live in a free country and women should continue to have the choice to do whatever with their body, concerning women’s rights, health issues, and religious reasons.

The pro-choice camp believes the providence of choice to abort is vital for gender equality. As Thomson (1971) believes, one’s body belongs to oneself which it is morally permissible for a woman to make her own choice towards her unexpected pregnancy. Furthermore, compared to men, women may be more affected by pregnancy which it might disrupt their education, career or family life. Hence, pregnancy to a woman could be an important issue due to its impact. Therefore, illegalizing abortion may be seen as a constraint of women’s right to freedom of choice when abortion could be such an important issue to them. Also, it could be seen as a limitation to their bodily integrity and the right to control their fertility when the choice of termination

Recently, as I was exiting next to a Planned Parenthood they was a crowd of people protesting. They had posters that said,” Stop the baby killing!” and my favorite,” Do you love Satan? Because standing by and watching you’re no better.” For as long as I can remember Abortion has been a controversial issue with the public. Is Abortion unhuman like or a women’s rights? In my opinion, anything to do with a woman or a woman's body, she should have everything right to her private decisions.

In our society, there are many ethical dilemmas that we are faced with that are virtually impossible to solve. One of the most difficult and controversial issues that we are faced with is abortion. There are many strong arguments both for and against the right to have an abortion which are so complicated that it becomes impossible to resolve. The complexity of this issue lies in the different aspects of the argument. The essence of a person, rights, and who is entitled to these rights, are a few of the many aspects which are very difficult to define. There are also issues of what circumstances would justify abortion. Because the issue of abortion is virtually impossible to solve, all one can hope

The three main aspects of politics, religion and the women’s right to choose go into the different arguments over the debates of abortion. One of the movements which is pro-life which is against the legalization of abortion. Another main movement is pro-choice which believes that ‘if’ the fetus is a person then the women can’t if the abortion. However, pro-consent believes that the women have a right to choose to consent to the condition of pregnancy or obtain an abortion (McDonagh, 23). Pro-consent supports the rights of all living beings. People in the general public in non-similar situations should not have a right to decide a woman’s right to abort a child. A woman may choose an abortion if she is unable to care for a child

Gender equality means that men and women enjoy the same rights as everyone. Then why are woman’s own body sometimes not even there’s.
