Argumentative Essay On Abortion

Abortion is a polarizing topic that everyone will have their own opinion on. Abortions have an increasing number of cases all over the world. All of these cases have factors such as social & economic issues. As the Merriam-Webster dictionary mentions, the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: such as a spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation. Since abortions is much of a controversial topic, there are many sides to it. The two main sides/groups are pro-life and pro-choice. According to the article “Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice, a person who is pro-life believes that the government has an obligation to preserve

In other states, funding to help pay for abortions comes from taxpayers (Ahuja). Because the infants are able to use their senses after the second trimester, and at that point abortion would still be legal in some states, the infant can physically feel itself being ripped apart during abortion. When it is being viciously poked and jabbed with medical needles, one is able to see the baby wince in pain, just as a normal grown person would if someone were to hurt them (“Abortion”). Maureen Condic, Associate Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy, stated that the "most primitive response to pain, the spinal reflex," is developed by eight weeks into pregnancy. Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson stated after research, "We see in an ultrasound image the child’s mouth open in a silent scream... This is the silent scream of a child threatened imminently with

Substance abuse with pregnant women is a situation that is being ignored in the United States. There are many pregnant woman in the United States who are abusing illegal substances without any prosecution. Allowing these women to do so causes major defects on the babies and the mothers get no serious punishment for their actions. This issue is similar to the argument on whether abortion should be legal or not, because both situations can kill the baby while it’s still in the womb. Women who use drugs while pregnant should be tried for child abuse.

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics of all times. It has caused countless deaths and several violent confrontations between the two separate parties of opinion. The fight between pro-life and pro-choice supporters has been long and brutal. This is because, despite what several people may believe, abortion is neither right nor wrong. It is the matter of a personal opinion, where, each side can say with certainty that the other one is wrong.

Abortion is the deliberate discontinuation of a human pregnancy; in other words, the murder of an unborn baby. Recently, this particular issue has attracted violent controversy from the supporters of pro-life and the supporters of pro-choice. Ironic for a democratic nation, the majority of our nation’s population supports the legalization of abortion, which they firmly emphasize and maintain. Legalized murder, abortion as we now call it, is an immoral and corrupt practice that not only violates the values of a democracy, but also the principles of humanity.

Abortion is an ethical and moral issue, which is still very prevalent in our world. This topic

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.

Abortion is a controversial topic discussed all over the world by politicians, doctors, and the community. People often wonder if abortion should be considered illegal because of their beliefs and morals. The majority of the American public, however, think that abortion should be allowed under certain circumstances. There should be no doubt that any woman should be able to decide whether or not she wishes to carry a fetus in her womb for nine months, especially if there are special circumstances or different reasons as to why she might choose to abort. All women should not be denied the right to terminate their pregnancy.

Abortion had been legal since the time the earliest settlers had arrived. During the time the constitution was made, women had abortions before she could feel the movement of her fetus which was openly publicized and commonly performed. After the ruling of Roe V. Wade in 1973, women had the right to legal abortion in all states; however, while supporters of the legal abortion felt that they had won the battle, the level of anti-abortion violence had escalated. To this day, the morality and ethics of abortion are still questioned. Pro-life believers understand life begins at fertilization and that abortion is considered murder to innocent life. Pro-choice believers uphold that a woman has the right and control over her own body. Others have opinions across the spectrum, depending on the scenario that resulted in the fertilization of the child such as sexual assault or when it is a risk to the mother’s life. I believe life begins at conception; therefore, an unborn baby has just as equal rights to life as a born baby that must be protected from harm.

However, the other forty percent of people in the United States believe that teens should never have an abortion. Not only does it kill the innocent life of a child, but it also hurts the teen involved. Several studies of women after they have had an abortion have shown that “between 40 and 60 percent of women questioned report negative reactions. Within 8 weeks after their abortions, 55 percent expressed guilt, 44 percent complained of nervous disorders, 36 percent had experienced sleep disturbances, 31 percent had regrets about their decision, and 11 percent had been prescribed psychotropic medicine by their family doctor.” (http://www.iowartl.org/get-

Abortion in America is a controversial issue in which both sides have valid arguments. But, the arguments can be refuted. Abortion is the ending of pregnancy and expulsion of the embryo or fetus, generally before the embryo or fetus is capable of surviving on its own. Abortion should be illegal for a number of reasons.

Abortion can be a very sensitive topic of discussion. Many people are constantly arguing whether or not abortion should be illegalized. Many people think that abortion is unacceptable and it should be illegal in any situation. Others feel that the parents should have the option to choose whether or not to have an abortion until the baby is born. Abortion is normally seen through which stage the fetus is in. If the fetus is still small, people usually do not consider it abortion. However, if the fetus is large, people tend to consider it murder.

Abortion is the terminating of a pregnancy from the death and removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus. One of the major topics in our culture right now is over abortion. Women and men are arguing over this issue, when it shouldn’t even be a topic to argue about. In the essay “Resistance to Civil Government,” Henry David Thoreau argues against the government’s right to compel individual citizens to violate their consciences. The law that allows the murdering of human beings is a law that fully violates my conscience. The definition of abortion in dictionaries is the terminating of a pregnancy- but in all reality, it is the terminating of a human life.

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.
