Argumentative Speech On Abortion

From 1973 to 2003 around 1 million abortions have been performed in the U.S alone and after the Roe vs. Wade case was found in favor in Roe which has led to a large controversy over whether or not an abortion kills a person. Today I will not argue over which side is right or wrong, but show you the facts and ethics of an abortion, and leave you the listener to choose whether or not to believe and act upon these truths. First the argument over abortion is not about women's right. Many people associate abortion with women's right but this is not the case. The argument for or against abortion lies in whether or not an abortion murders a person. Now with that context set we must now look to see first whether something is being killed and the answer is yes. Any Biomedical scientist will tell you that a unborn babies cell is different from that of her mother and if an unborn baby were part of her mother the cells of the baby would match that of her mother but it has been scientifically proven as a fact that a unborn baby is composed of entirely different cells than her mother. This meaning that the baby is an entirely different organism. Also we know something is being killed because the unborn baby has different cells meaning a entirely different organism is killed during the abortion process. Now we know that a unborn baby is not part of the mother and that something in the least is being killed. Now that it is settled that something is being killed with each

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

Abortion is one of the most contentious and talked about topics of our time. It is discussed in classrooms, work places, on the internet, and now among government officials. Abortion has been a very controversial subject over the past couple years. This is mainly because there is no middle ground; a person is either pro-life or pro-choice. The effects abortion has on people can be very severe but commonly go unnoticed. Although abortion causes a great deal of negative effects on our society, it is nearly impossible to create a solution due to the large variety of opinions and values for and against this extremely controversial subject. Abortion can affect a person, physically, mentally, economically, and is still seen as a point of

People will always be divided by their belief of if and when a fetus becomes a person. Many states have posed draconian amendments to the Plan Parenthood vs. Casey ruling, which maintained the legality of abortion, but opened to states to put their own standards to when a woman can receive an abortion. However, many states have placed draconian standards that make it extremely hard for women to receive legal and medically safe abortions. My opinion of abortion is mixed. I understand that abortion is not something that should be gotten at will and is a very personal and deep issue for the women who get them. Even though abortion might be morally questionable, I want it to be legal and safe for those who choose to get one. My opinion is very passive, because as a man, I cannot in good conscience tell a woman that she can’t or cannot make a certain choice for their own bodies. I think men should remove themselves from the national conversation, because we cannot truly understand the psychological nature of something as personal as contemplating an abortion. People shaming women who have to go through something like an abortion is very sickening in our society. Crisis Pregnancy Centers are one of many ways people take advantage of women. Joannides (2013), advises that, “women stay clear of these places as, they prey on women dealing with getting and abortion” (p. 823). Ultimately, abortion is a safe, but controversial method of dealing with

Abortion has been an issue in our world for an extensive amount of time, having been a war between politics vs. religion since the beginning. This is due to the fact that it has always been a prominent problem and widely practiced whether it was legalized or not. Today, abortion has been a reoccurring topic in political debate and we can trace this back to the late 1800’s when it became illegal, unless it was to save the life of a woman. This was originally enforced for legislation to control the growing women’s rights movements, specifically targeting birth control and suffrage, and this control would help bind them to the traditional housewife role. This subjected women to a life of little rights, and feelings of shame, belittlement, and

In today’s society, abortions are seen as a sensitive topic; which has resulted in critical debates as to whether it is human or not. Throughout history, abortions have been seen as shameful which caused many women to conceal their stories. Society has put external pressure on women, which leaves the impression that they must regret their decisions. This is seen in the March 2016 Mashable article “I am sick of being silenced': 14 women share their abortion stories” as fourteen women acknowledge this external pressure when sharing their stories. Society has progressed to the point where we must silence our thoughts and beliefs in order to please others ( Quote MASHABLE). To understand how this happened, we must reintroduce the works on influential sociologists who focused on societal growth, such as

“Over the last three decades, the abortion debate has been characterized as the clashing of rights: the human rights of the unborn on the one hand and the reproductive rights of women on the other.” (Erika Bachiochi “How Abortion Hurts Women: The Hard Proof”) Abortion has been one of the most controversial topics in history. We are constantly seeing the news talk about it and rallies over why people want to keep abortions legal or put a stop to this cruel act.

Abortion is a controversial topic that has snaked its way through our nation. Some people claim that a “woman's decision about her own body is paramount”, while others believe that a “baby's life trumps all.” Pro-abortion and anti-abortion individuals have never achieved solidarity. People who support anti-abortion disregard a woman’s reason for having one and how having a child may affect their life. Society is focused on a life that has not seen the world. They don’t realize that a woman may not be financially stable, mentally stable, or healthy enough to bear a child. All three articles capture the idea that women should have the right to an abortion.

Many people base their opinion on if abortion is wrong is based off the opinion of when a person feels that life has begun. Many women who discover that they will be having a baby soon become really happy about the idea. Also, some who get abortions feel that pregnancy is nothing more than an inconvenience. Sometimes this inconvenience is sought to be an issue that can easily be resolved such as adoption or abortion methods. There are also times where conflicting issues create consideration about if the baby should be kept.

“Judith Arcana (1994) argued that abortion is a motherhood issue, a decision a woman makes because she believes it is the best for herself and her baby” (Arcana, p.216). The decision to have an abortion is one of the most difficult decisions a woman can take. What the woman wanted is not to be pregnant and they abort only when they have no other way to take. Also, the profile of the women who abort are very varied. For example, economic problems, health, to continue their education and even for deeper reasons that no one has the right to question. It is not possible to trivialize the decision of a woman, and it should not be forgotten that an abortion is a medical intervention, with its risks, causing fear and pain. On the other hand, today's

As people discuss their views on life vs. choice, they begin to explain why their opinion is valid and why the other is either committing a murder or not giving individuals their right to choose. Women who decide to get an abortion often keep quiet because they are likely to be judged by society, “ Over one third of women will have an abortion in their lifetime,... frequently silenced--hidden behind society’s judgements and forced underground by social stigma” (Baker and De Robertis). Women, even today, in the 21st century, still have to hide the legal decision that they make. It's understandable that due to religious beliefs, for example Catholicism, they are pro-life and protest and pray outside abortion centers causing guilt to women whose

This dramatic change was achieved by a carefully designed campaign using courts, media, and a web of lies to change public opinion. Nowadays the bubble zones around abortion clinics prevent pro-life counselors from informing parents about the dangers of abortion. At the same time, secular media mostly ignores pro-life awareness projects, and presents an exclusively biased pro-abortion point of view. The many lies about abortion are created to convince everyone that the procedure is completely harmless, normal, and should be accepted as a basic human right. “Pro-choice” activists promote abortion as an insignificant surgical procedure contrary to established scientific facts. Health risks include hemorrhage, infections, a higher risk of breast cancer and even death. Abortion not only harms the woman physically, but can also have a lifelong emotional and mental fallout on the whole family. In masking evil as good, society distorts the truth in the abortion debate, and since truth is a requirement for justice, we need to reveal it. When the Emperor struts through town with no clothes on, he is still praised by the townspeople, even though he is naked. In the same way, the promoted “politically correct” view approves and supports abortion as inconspicuously named woman’s right to

You slowly stick your head inside the restroom to see your mother throwing up with severe nausea. You grinned proudly to yourself, as you walk towards your sister's bedroom. Your last wish was to make your sister admire you, but it appears her moral judgment will not allow her to do anything unethical. Incest is so taboo for her, and that's a line she wouldn't dare cross.

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.

In this argumentative essay I would like you, the reader to consider a public issue from my perspective and my belief system on the matter. I’ll be supporting my view on a common and overlooked procedure conducted by women and medical doctors within a walk in clinic and home. This procedure is known as an Abortion, also known as a voluntary abortion. The definition provided by Dictionary.com is “the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy.”
