Adoption: An Argument Against Abortion

One of the most estranging moral and politically controversial issues in the United States is the stand on abortion. By definition an abortion is the termination of a pregnancy and the expulsion of pregnancy tissue, including embryo, fetus, placenta, and membranes (Wicclair, Gosman 2005). In the recent years the debate on abortion has shifted to a different viewpoint that has reopened the conversation of abortion and has generated a healthy following for abortion control. The premise of abortion control is to implement community outreach programs that will help reduce the number of abortions. I feel this would be a healthy compromise for the abortion debate, but many citizens are wholly against the idea of abortion being an option based of various personal beliefs they each hold. Anti-abortionist believe the most effective way to reduce abortions is to make it illegal. The other side of this coin are the people representing the stance for the legalization of abortion and Pro-Choice. Pro-Choice activists believe that women should have the right to make the final decision of whether an abortion is suited for their situation or not. What anti-abortionist’s seem to ignore is the large number of deaths resulting from women participating in unsafe abortion practices out of desperation. The running estimate totals over seventy thousand women each year falling victim to these malpractices with many of them sustaining lifelong injuries (xxx). Even with these consequences looming

In today 's society, the rate of teen pregnancy is rapidly decreasing. This may be attributed to decrease in costs of contraception, costs and availability for abortion, and better sex education over time. “In 2014, a total of 249,078 babies were born to women aged 15–19 years, for a birth rate of 24.2 per 1,000 women in this age group.This is another historic low for U.S. teens and a drop of 9% from 2013. Birth rates fell 11% for women aged 15–17 years and 7% for women aged 18–19 years” ("About Teen Pregnancy"). Abortion is a highly debated topic today, for many wonder if the woman should have the right to choose. Those who choose to get an abortion are practically putting themselves on trial in today 's society. To understand why this is so, one must look at both sides of the abortion issue, and compare the facts. Abortion is an extremely controversial issue for many, and polarized, or split, into pro-life

Furthermore, modern abortion procedures are extremely safe. So safe, in fact, that the risk of a woman dying from an abortion is less that one out of 100,000. On the other hand, the number of women who die during childbirth is 13.3 out of 100,000. Access to legal, professionally performed abortion reduces both injury and death caused by “back-alley” abortions. These back-alley abortions account for 68,000 maternal deaths a year in the 33 countries where abortion is either not legal, or unavailable (World Health Organization, Oct. 2006).

Murder is illegal, so therefore abortion should be illegal as well. Murder is the killing of a human being with some level of intent.(live news) When a mother chooses to abort her baby she is fully

Many people believe that the life of a human being is precious and valuable. Abortion has been a controversial decision among reasons for decades. There are three sub-reasons to abortion: sexual education, pro-life, and fathers rights. If the female chooses to terminate the pregnancy. Do you think someone who is not mentally or physically prepared to take care of another human being be forced to do so?

When conversing about ethical issues, many people are afraid to speak up. We have people who are afraid to face specific ethical issues. People who live in today are choosy or sensitive to some ethical issues. Which issues are harsh or not have been questioned. What people don’t understand is every ethical issue will be somehow offensive to one person or another. It’s better to speak on the issues now than to sweep them under the rug. That’s why I like the news, the news doesn’t sugar coat things.

Is taking a life okay? People say that taking a life is wrong yet 125,000 abortions happen a day. Although abortions are legal right now, it should be illegal.

When I first heard about abortion I was just a small child, I was about 7-8 years old. I didn’t understand exactly what that was, I first saw it in Dirty Dancing none the less a movie with Patrick Swayze. In the movie the women has an abortion but not in a clinic or a hospital in a home they used a clothes hanger to abort the baby. The woman was able to abort the baby but she got extremely sick she eventually got help and was ok. After watching that I had the idea in my head growing up that abortions are dangerous and if a women wants to abort a baby she should be able to go to a clinic and abort the baby without putting their lives in danger doing it at someone’s home.

There are still risks, even if the abortion works out the mother themselves can have medical risks. It only needs once to later have it as a consequence. The mother can receive a pelvic infection, incomplete abortion risks, blood clots in the uterus, heavy bleeding, a cut or torn cervix, a puncture/tear of the wall of the uterus, scar tissue on the uterine wall, a hole in the uterus, injury to the bowel or bladder, incomplete removal of unborn children, inability to become pregnant due to infection, hysterectomy, or hemorrhage (heavy bleeding). Then, if the mother prefers to have future pregnancies there is a chance of vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy, preterm birth, low birth weight, retained placenta, incompetent cervix, weakened or

There comes a time in a many young women’s life when they are faced with having a child of their own. They have two options, either they can have the child or they could abort the child. All people deserve a chance at life, so all kinds of abortion should be illegal. Abortion should be illegal because it goes against the bible, there are women who cannot have kids who would gladly love to have the child, and fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as four weeks gestation.

Abortion has been one of the most debated topics in the United States for more than a century. There is the anti-abortionist group that believe abortion should be permanently banned from not only the U.S but also worldwide. We live in a world today that abortion takes place every second of everyday. Abortion has become a big issue in today’s generation because of the high percentage of unprotected sex and uncontrolled hormones followed by the miss connection and lack of responsibility and most importantly what the outcomes bring to the table. There are numerous of different perspectives being argued and supported with strong beliefs

Regardless of its legality, abortion has been practiced throughout many societies and cultures from an early era. The idea concerning the morality of abortion has been widely debated and discussed. Despite the controversial debates regarding abortion, the issue of its legalization should not be centered around moral beliefs. Instead, the legalization of abortion should be viewed through an economical point of view. Abortion itself should be looked at statistically, and statistics show that “Prior to Roe v. Wade, as many as 5,000American women died annually as a direct result of unsafe abortions.”(OBOS ABORTION CONTRIBUTORS, “History of Abortion in the U.S.”). This shows how illegal abortion causes many women to resort to unsafe measure and

Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy that is most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. The large majority of the world's people-in developing and developed countries-live in areas where abortion is legal at least for health reasons, and the recent trend has been toward further liberalization of laws. Where abortion services are not legal, they are frequently available from physicians to women who can afford to pay for them. Abortions provided by medically trained personnel have proved to be much safer than childbirth. However, mortality related to non medical abortions are still major public health problems in areas where medical abortions are unavailable.

Every year in the United States 6 million women become pregnant. Over one million of those women make the decision to have an abortion during various stages of their pregnancy (Healthwise, 2008). There are many reasons that a woman may choose to have an abortion including birth control failure, inability to support or care for the child, or unwanted pregnancy. Some other reasons why a woman may get an abortion may be to avoid having a child with a birth defect or severe medical problems, or the pregnancy may be a health risk for the woman (Healthwise, 2008). Although abortion is a highly controversial topic that can have extreme physical, psychological and social effects that are often viewed in both negative and

All around the world, women are fighting for their civil rights every day. One of the biggest controversies with women’s rights is the topic of abortion, and whether to continue the procedure. A woman or teenager  has every right to choose her family’s fate. With a child comes many emotional and financial challenges, and if a woman believes that she cannot overcome these obstacles, then she should be able to terminate her pregnancy safely.
