Abortion is an ethical and moral issue, which is still very prevalent in our world. This topic has been discussed by many and there are multiple opinions out there for why it should be considered right or wrong, but I am going to explain to you how abortion is a wrongful and immoral act. I am going to do this by first explaining how a fetus is a person from the time they are conceived, therefore they have rights. Second, how God thought of and gave the fetus a plan and a purpose before they came to exist and abortion takes away their future and the impact they could have on our world. Third, I will explain how abortion is the equivalent of legalized murder and if we allow this we are desensitizing people to murder and removing their appreciation for life. Lastly, I will present an objection to my argument. With a topic like abortion, someone might argue the morality of forcing a woman, who has rights, to carry out an unwanted pregnancy is just as immoral as abortion itself. It is important to note, not all of the ideas I present to you are not unique to me, but are ideas I have gained or been exposed to through articles I have previously read or by discussions I have heard throughout my life. There is a controversial idea of whether life begins when the fetus is first conceived, or if the actual beginning of life is later on in the pregnancy. After 18 weeks, you would not only be taking a life, but you would also be causing pain and suffering to the fetus, which is morally wrong. The moment a fetus begins to exist, is when life should be considered to have started. Existence is the equivalent of life because life is defined as “the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death” (Oxford Dictionary). Based on this definition the mere existence of a fetus itself should render it a human being with life because life is not growth itself, but more simply the capacity for growth. A human being with life has rights, so how can we wrongfully take the life of another human being who has the right to life just as much as you or I do? If you take the life of another human being outside of the womb it is considered murder, but for some reason when you take
When it comes to abortion, everyone has a slightly different view. Whether one believes that no one, or everyone, should be allowed to get an abortion, the same question comes into play: Is abortion ethical? In addition, when does a human life actually start? Without concrete facts, we can only do so much with those questions, which is why this is such a controversial topic. We need to consider all the facts and information available. For example, whether or not a fetus feels pain, how old the fetus is, and what condition the pregnant woman is in. The main argument comes down to pro-life versus pro-choice. After doing extensive research, I have come to agree with the side of pro-choice, meaning that
Abortion is one of the most immoral things you can possibly do to another living human being. Bishop Christopher Jones of Elphin says,”Abortion is always morally wrong”(Daily Mail, 2013). “We claim that we must protect the innocent, voiceless, and powerless unborn child in the womb”(Bishop Jones, Daily Mail). Just because someone doesn't want their baby does not give them the right to choose whether or not a life is taken because
Furthermore, a woman should have the right to control their body, nobody should tell you what to do with your body. There are many more arguments that support abortion, one of the strongest arguments being that life doesn 't start until birth, once the fetus becomes a human being (Zang para 2). Therefore, abortion is not murder or taking a life, it is simply preventing a life from occurring. In most situations, this wouldn 't be in enjoyable life, most abortions are centered around a life that would be filled with trauma (procon.org para 3). For all of these reasons discussed above, abortion as a practice can be justified.
To some it’s considered a crime, but to many others it is considered to be a choice which is rightly theirs . The choice of abortion is a sensitive topic & also very controversial in the U.S. and in other parts of the world. The word abortion is described as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Many people have many different opinions, whether they are for or against it and these different opinions have many reasons behind it to justify them. This is an important topic because it is something that impacts the lives of not just one person, but others as well.
Abortion is a very complex and sensitive issue and opinions are split. Many believe that the procedure is very similar to murder – they argue that, although small, the foetus is still a human being. On the other hand, many people believe that the woman should have the luxury to choose if she wants to keep the baby or not. In my opinion, abortion is wrong – both morally and ethically.
Abortion is tremendously unethical, just like murder is highly immoral. Many religions oppose the idea of abortion; Christianity considers abortion to be a sin under all circumstances; Hinduism considers abortion to be a form of violence. In addition, when the woman decides to have a sexual intercourse with a man without any proper use of contraception, she knows that pregnancy will result. If the mother did not want the baby in the first place or if she could not take on the responsibility of the baby, then she should not get pregnant just to later on kill the unborn innocent child in her womb. Abortion can not only harm the baby, but can also cause physical and psychological damage
All of us standing here today have one thing in common. We are all alive. Our hearts are beating, we have air in our lungs and we have all been given the chance to live.With having quite a substantial amount of involvement in the “International Right to Life Organisation”, I have a broad array of knowledge on the sensitive topic of abortion. This essay will outline..
Individuals throughout the world have different aspects towards abortion. Some may argue that abortion should be outlawed and treated like the murder of a human being while others believe abortion should remain a legal choice to all women. The ones who are for abortion have argued that women have a moral right to decide what to do with their own bodies. On the other hand, the ones against abortion like myself have argued that the fetus is a human being from the moment of conception. Therefore, abortion is the moral killing of an innocent human being. Having an abortion is never the solution for unwanted pregnancies because it is not the fault of the innocent unborn child. Women put themselves at risk since abortion brings medical complications later on in life. The moral killing of a human being should overturn the decision made by the Supreme Court in the Roe v. Wade, whom created a law in which women had the right to abort a child at anytime even if it past the point of viability. Not only is an abortion the killing of a human being, but also it defies the word of God. Abortion is not the solution for unwanted pregnancies because it can cause medical complications, defies the word of God, and is the immoral killing of an innocent human being.
On January 22, 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled, in a 7-2 decision, on the Roe vs. Wade case legalizing abortion. Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, there have been approximately 60 million abortions within the United States. The Roe vs. Wade ruling sparked a controversial debate that has lasted for over 40 years. People that are pro-choice believe that abortion should be legal and that it is ultimately the mother’s decision. The opposite of pro-choice is pro-life. People that associate with this stance believe that abortion is wrong and any life, whether born or unborn, should be protected. Over the years, there have been several arguments established both for and against abortion. Three strong arguments of pro-life are that life begins at conception, there are harmful mental effects of abortion, and there are flaws to the Roe vs. Wade final ruling.
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.
Today, many questions are asked about abortion. What is abortion? Why is abortion such a big deal? Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy so that it does not result in a birth of a child. Every year, 1 in 3 women in the United States do abortion because of unintended pregnancies or other reasons (operationrescue.org). Many women who chose to do abortion during the 1900’s almost never survived, due to inexperienced and illegal doctors that were willing the perform these tasks in secrecy (prochoice.org). Laws against abortion were created around 1870’s and made abortion illegal due to this reason, until 1973 in the case of Roe v. Wade which decided that abortion is any women’s choice and it should not be considered illegal. Still, many states pass laws to restrict abortion rights today.
Abortion is a highly controversial issue in the United States. Many people have been asking themselves the same question, “Is a mother’s right more important to her unborn child’s?” Late-term abortion is the main topic that has caused most of the issues. Consequently, antiabortion activists continue to pressure politicians to outlaw abortion. Women have the right to make their own decisions, which is stated in the constitution, but they should at least make an informed one. The main argument on abortion is really a debate on human life, and whether it has value from the moment of conception. To kill unborn using medical procedures can cause psychological pain for a woman, can lead to severe medical complications, and can put the unborn
Abortion is one of the most well-known and debated topics in today’s society. Although so many people seem to have such a strong opinion on abortion, there are many teens today who don’t really understand what abortion actually is. With today’s technology, though, our understanding of it is also growing. According to Merriam Webster, abortion means the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/abortion) But it is more than that implies. It is the murder of a human life made in the image of God and unfortunately, it is being accepted and even encouraged among the teens today under the guise of women’s rights.
Abortion is a very notorious topic of discussion, whether it should or shouldn't be legal. Could reasons be the fear of overpopulation, the fear of becoming a mother or is the child is not wanted? But why take a child's life for those reasons? The abortion law was passed mid-to-late 1800’s by Roe V. Wade. It is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Why I believe abortion should be viewed as bad is because how could a woman be all right with the fact to basically be considered a “murder” of a child, but not only that, there are options that they don't even consider.
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.
