Argumentative Essay: Pro-Life Or Pro Life?

　　　　In our society, abortion has been a controversial topic that has led some people to take sides on the matter. These two opposing sides (pro-life and pro-choice) fight for their moral and political stance of abortion; raising the questions if abortion is morally right or whether it should be made illegal. Pro-choice activists argue that women should have a right to choose abortion and cling to the idea of freedom, whereas

Abortion has been and still is one of the most controversial topics in American culture. The reason for the controversy is the different viewpoints of this very personal matter. Some believe that abortion is the same as murder. Others believe it’s a personal choice which only they have the right to make. Due to the nature of the procedure and the concerns associated with ending a pregnancy, abortion will continue to top the list of “touchy” subjects in American politics and culture. As a pro-choice advocate, it is important for the right to have an abortion to be established and protected.

Otto von Bismarck once said, “Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.” The arduous process that a bill undergoes in order to become a law may seem grueling and pointless; however, the processes high caliber of difficulty allows for the extreme prestige and exclusivity of bills that are passed. Because the process is so exhausting, and filibusters, subsequently requiring a super-majority vote to pass a bill, have always been such a threat in Congress, historically, bills that attempt to reform sensitive issues have not fared well in the legislative branch. However, when Congress does pass controversial laws, it then also faces the task of effectively enforcing them. But, when the process is carried out to

Abortion has taken the lives of more than 50 million babies since 1973 (“About Abortion”). The issue of abortion is one of the most common controversial issues in American politics and culture. In modern society, many women that have an unintended pregnancy and they result to abortion without researching other options. Abortion is not a substitute for birth control and this issue should be taken seriously. The individual woman needs to understand that by agreeing to have an abortion she is agreeing to kill an innocent fetus. Abortion rips the unborn child from his or hers right to life. Society needs to let women see through the eyes of the fetus and find alternative ways to raise the baby. Abortion should be

Each person, man or woman has a right to their own body. A woman has a right to dictate what happens to her own body and the right of self-preservation. Judith Jarvis Thomson stated that “Some [anti-abortionists] won’t even make an exception for a case in which continuation of the pregnancy is likely to shorten the mother’s life; they regard abortion as impermissible even to save the mother’s life” (Thomson, 2013, p. 298). These anti-abortionists renounce abortion even if it threatens the life of the woman, they see more value in the fetus than the woman.

All lives matter even the ones that are waiting to begin. Abortion is “the intentional termination of a pregnancy in the early stages”. Many people have different views on abortion. some believe that the mother can choose, and others believe that it is not any person’s choice about the life of the child. For example pro-choice is to be willing to let the mother’s decide what they want to do about the child that is growing inside them because it is their body. On the other hand pro-life is to be against letting mothers take the lives of their unborn children. Abortion has many effects on the human body, because it is not a natural sequence taking place within the mothers body. There are many other options than abortion, and abortion could be eradicated in this generation if women and families are given proper support.

There is a concern among many, that it is not the woman’s decision to terminate the life of their unborn child. Fetuses are advocated for because decision making is out of their control. One of the main arguments is that the unborn child will not have the opportunity to live the life it deserves and because of that, women that go through the process of abortion will regret their decision. This is understandable, because it is a difficult option to pursue, not health-wise, but emotionally a devastation for some. Along

Abortion is commonly considered a woman’s right, and may impact a woman’s life and the experiences she has. Valerie Tarico, explains that based on her own personal experiences, she is both pro-choice and pro-abortion. Using ten reasons, she outlines why she believes in abortion so strongly. Abortion and birth control allow a woman to manage, delay, and limit childbirth. In the author’s words, “Being able to delay and limit childbirth is a fundamental to female empowerment and equality” (Tarico, 1). In addition, she indicates that abortion plays an important role in the raising and nurturing of children. Abortion and birth control can help reduce the number of rapid pregnancies, which often result in babies that are not as healthy or cause

One of the most controversial topics in America is abortion. In medical terms, “an abortion is the premature exit of the products of conception (the fetus, fetal membranes, and placenta) from the uterus” (Medicine Net). All around the world, the practice of abortions has been widely used to control a woman’s reproduction. The polarizing, emotional debate on abortion has been an ongoing issue that still exists today. People’s different perspectives and opinion on whether or not abortion is immoral continue to divide America into two groups: “Pro-choice” and “Pro-life”. However, pro-life advocates tend to focus more on the fetus rather than how abortion and programs have actually benefited the mother and families. There is hypocrisy in people who identify themselves as “pro-life” and the word itself can be misleading as it does not align with the true values of protecting a life.

     One can gather from this article that pro-life supporters, since raised without a lot of financial stability and are unable to provide much for themselves, are unable to see the reasoning to

Another argument pro-choice advocates make is the rights of the mother, that she has the right to end her fetus’s life for whatever reason she deems necessary. This is only moral if we believe that the fetus has no worth. We can agree that most people think that a fetus has infinite worth if the mother wants to

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.

So, you’re pregnant, now what? Now you must decide what is best for you and your fetus. Do you want to be a parent, should you give your child up for adoption, will your child be born healthy or do you simply wish you could turn back time and make a different choice? Many women ask themselves these questions when they find out that they are pregnant, while other women are forced to choose between their life or the life of their unborn child. It is never an easy or a quick decision to make, and despite what people may think, no woman wants to have an abortion. Yet so many people are quick to judge and assume that they know what’s best for the fetus and its incubator.

Many argue is it the women’s or the foetus’ rights and values that are being trampled on? “Pro-choice movements sometimes fall back on an abortion rhetoric that seems to dehumanize and trivialize the death of a foetus as a way to humanize and make important the reproductive rights of women.” (Wolf p54) “Women can treat an unwanted foetus as a violation of her civil rights and is therefor justified tin using force to expel it” (McMillan pA12) The decision is not up to the mother because she is not God. Only God, the ultimate creator has the right to choose who may live and who shall die. Humans do not have the right or the power to control the quality of life and to avoid suffering. “The issue of abortion is not just life, but how life is created and the extent to which human intention and control the process, both before and after birth.

Life is extremely precious and is something that should not be taken for granted. The trials each new day brings are exhilarating and capable of bringing one to tears, whether they be out of happiness or sadness. One of the greatest gifts presented to a couple is a child when a woman becomes pregnant. Far too many times, this gift is taken for granted because two people are not married or they do not want the child. In America, there is an on-going argument as to whether or not a pregnant woman, or her close family/friends, should be allowed to make a decision to kill a fetus while it is still forming in the woman’s womb, known as abortion. The pro-life debate ranges from more than just abortion, as it stretches into the “releasing” of
