Argumentative Essay On Abortion

It is clear that the U.S. government absolutely should not allow the banning of all abortions, regardless of the reason behind it. A choice must be available to prevent the birth of an unwanted child as well as to protect the mother from physical harm. This should essentially be the choice of the mother carrying the child, and if it is in her best interest, her decision to abort should not be influenced by anyone else’s opinions or moral standards. If the woman has a high risk of physical complications that would most likely be a result from full term pregnancy, is a victim of rape, or believes that she will be unable to care for a severely disabled child, then the option to terminate her pregnancy should be available without question. Based on the points that I have made, I urge you to think twice about banning abortion and put yourself in the mother’s shoes. If it was you or your child’s

An Oklahoma bill is currently making it’s way through the senate right now that could drastically affect the way abortion is by residents. State Senator Joseph Silk, plans to abolish abortion in the state of Oklahoma with his bill titled, SB 1118. SB 1118 would consider the act of abortion to be first degree murder. The bill has recently passed through the health and human services committee, and the first degree murder penalty was added after. Silk states, “Life begins at contraception,” and believes the embryos have every right to be protected as a one-year-old child would be. Unfortunately for Silk, the bill is currently stuck, held by the republic committee, and refusing to let SB 1118 be heard on the senate floor. Senate leadership believe Silk has gone to the extreme, and considers SB 1118’s penalty to be going too far. Silk

On April 18, 2007, a Federal Abortion Ban was passed that criminalizes abortions in the second trimester which is when doctors advise that abortions are the safest and best time to protect the woman’s health. There has been a proposal to create state bans that make abortions illegal after twenty weeks! Although there is not a complete ban on abortions yet, it is clearly visible that the bans the United States has great affect on a woman’s decision to have an abortion. Within the process of getting an abortion, there are many deterrents set up before the women, such as restricting insurance, TRAP laws, abortion bans based on time span, mandatory ultrasounds and waiting periods, biased counseling, and much more. Nowhere in the Constitution does

Everyone has an opinion on abortion, whether or not they want to voice it. Some people think it’s immoral to kill a fetus, something that could potentially gestate into a living, human being. Some people think that it is entirely up to the woman. And others think that it’s none of their business. Ever since Roe v. Wade, many states have been trying to create a more difficult aversions to abortions in many ways. Some states tried to make it harder by payment, such as restricting certain insurance payments. Other states

In the past few decades, the issue of abortion rights has created debates and controversy within the United States. Those who criticize the act of abortion – pro-life – argue that the act of abortion is equivalent to the murder of a baby. Those who support the legalization of abortion – pro-choice – argues women should be able to choose whether or not they want to have an abortion. Currently, abortion is legal in all states – a result of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe vs. Wade. However, it has become increasingly common for states to create anti-abortion laws, which makes it more difficult to have an abortion. In 2014, Missouri state representative Rick Brattin proposed H.B.131, a house bill that would require women to receive a written consent from the biological father in order to have an abortion. This bill serves to prevent women from having an abortion.

I believe that statutes that make partial birth abortions murder or feticide are wise public policy because women should know and understand this circumstance to the full extent. As said before, there is a strong possibility some women who have gotten an abortion would have reconsidered upon understanding all the facts about abortion. With all these given issues as outcomes, a woman may begin to consider if an abortion is worth the potential outcomes and if it outweighs all of them. The statutes should help contribute on the thought of going through with this act. At the end of the day abortion is ultimately wrong, because it is the taking of another’s life. Although, I also feel that when determining if abortion is illegal or legal, the phases of pregnancy should be considered. During the first four weeks of pregnancy, the nervous system (brain and spinal cord) begins to form, the heart begins to form, arm and leg buds begin to develop, and the baby has now become an embryo at this point. At weeks of pregnancy, all major organs have begun to form, the baby’s heart begins to beat and pump blood, the arms and legs grow longer, fingers and toes have begun to form, sex organs begin to form, the face begins to develop features, and the umbilical cord is clearly visible. By the end of the eighth week of pregnancy, the

Women should have the right to decide if they want to carry their pregnancy to term. They should decide what happens to their body. Forty-two years ago the Supreme Court guaranteed freedom of choice (States' Abortion Restrictions Erode Freedom of Choice). The Freedom of Choice Act allows women to terminate their pregnancies. Since that ruling, states have been enacting restrictive laws against abortion. From 2010 to September of 2015, 280 restrictive abortion laws have been passed (States' Abortion Restrictions Erode Freedom of Choice). These restrictions dissolve the Freedom of Choice Act, and should not have been implemented.

A woman has a right to choose if her child lives or dies, shouldn’t the baby get a say too? Abortion was legalized in the United States in 1973. The choice was made by the supreme court in Roe vs. Wade that women, as a right to the constitution, have a right to privacy. She abandoned the right to her own privacy the day she became pregnant. The choice is not only the mother’s, but what about the baby? Abortion denies the baby the right to life as safeguarded in the U.S. Constitution. Everyone has a right to life, born or unborn. Abortion is considered murder by many physicians in the United States. Physicians have detected brain waves in babies as young as two months old. The baby can also begin feeling

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to have your right to live taken away? A baby fetus doesn’t even get a chance to decide whether or not they want to live or not when inside the mothers’ womb. A baby has no say because the mother has the power to just “get rid” of a child. Abortion would just be a gateway to get rid of a child by killing it. There are many other different ways to prevent or give away a child you do not want. Abortion isn’t the only answer, and it doesn’t only affect the child’s life but also the mothers severely. Abortion shouldn’t be legal because most women will use it for selfish reasons.

No man or woman should have that power to decide if a baby is allowed to live or not. When a woman decided to have sexual intercourse, she is taking a chance of being pregnant whether it’s done with protection or not; it’s still her responsibility. After the sixth weeks of pregnancy, the baby's heart starts beating and the brain is forming. On the seventh weeks, the baby's fingerprint started to form, which can show that the baby has an identity, a heart and a mind of his/her own. (Storck,

How would you feel if someone took away your ability to live? Imagine not having any say in whether or not you can have a life. Abortions shouldn’t be legal. No matter how you look at it, killing a baby in its mother womb is murder in first degree, and all the babies deserves a chance to have a life.

If you look back on the history of the world we have always fought for the right to have a “voice” in situation that certain people should have full control over. Looking at the statistics it had made me believe that our rights should be our own and no one should be able to take them from you. Although it may seem like you are taking a life you have to look at how the person carrying the fetus may feel. The way conception takes a roll may determine the fate the fetus will face. Everyone should have a choice and some decisions are made for those who have yet to create or find a voice. As the women find their voice they can also do things that will prevent the pregnancy in the first place. If the fetus can live outside the woman's body before being surgically removed then it would be wrong. By then the fetus would have begun to grow and could possibly live outside the human body. In the beginning stages of pregnancy the fetus whole- heartedly has to depend on the women. In that instance the decision should be up to the “caretaker” before the unborn child's “opinion” is taken into consideration.

Abortion has always been an incredibly controversial topic. It has been one of the most widely discussed issues in the American culture for decades. Abortion is a discussion of human interaction, in which emotions, ethics, and law all come together. In many cases, people on both sides of the argument have valid points and take moral positions. A pro-choice position would assert that the decision to terminate a pregnancy lies the mother and that the government has no right to interfere or step in and make that decision. On the other hand, the position of pro-life advocates argue that life begins at the moment of conception. They believe that because the embryo or fetus is a human life and that one has no moral right to abort it. This theory argues that this human has no power or say in the matter and is rendered helpless from advocating for itself. Although abortion is a morally and emotionally charged issues, it is ultimately protected under the 14th amendment. The most common reasons for abortion include but are not limited to, teen pregnancy, rape, and health issues.

Imagine ending a pure innocent human's life, well this is what happens in abortion. It takes lives of 125,000 babies per day and in the USA alone over 3000 per day. Abortion will always be a controversial topic globally because both sides believe they are correct. I like to think people just lack information on the subject or aren't correctly educated in the subject of abortion. Many fail to recognize the fact that life begins the moment of conception, but what we can all agree on, is that abortion is the termination of pregnancy.

Women in all countries have induced abortions. Abortion involves terminating a pregnancy by the removing or expelling of a fetus or embryo from the uterus (First Coast Women Services, 2017). Several countries still have restricted abortion laws that have forced women to use unsafe primitive methods for inducing abortion. Unsafe methods today can be divided into several broad classes: oral and injectable medicines, foreign bodies placed into the uterus through the cervix intrauterine, and trauma to the abdomen (Grimes et al., 2006). Self-inducing abortion is considered as a global health
