Arguments Against 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

Thomson brings up the standard anti-abortion argument. Every person has a right to life. A fetus is a person. Which means a fetus has a right to life. Therefore abortion is wrong. Thomson does not understand the jump from a fetus having a right to life to abortion being wrong. She believes that the fetus being a person or not is irrelevant to the argument. And abortion is based more on the rights of the woman, fetus, and who has more of the right of ownership of the woman’s body (Thomson 47-48).

In this new era of America, women’s rights aren’t safe. They are getting their fundamental rights taken away from them. Abortion has been legal in the United States for the past 40 years, but very soon, the choice that women had to choose what to do with their bodies might be taken away. The threat of it being taken away has been present since the moment it has become legal but now we have a new president whose surrounded by people who believe that abortion shouldn’t be legal. Even though abortion is legal here in the United States, it has many restrictions. Every state has it’s own different restrictions. States like Texas, Arizona, and Minnesota have the most restrictions with abortion. While other states like California, Maine and Washington

The United States Federal Government has different views about abortion. These “different” views directly affect the women of America. The President produces an Executive Order. Congress puts a “rider” in place and the Courts begin legal abortion in 1973. Executive Order Number 13535 concerning the Affordable Care Act was ordered by President Obama in 2014. This Act mandated health care for all Americans and is sometimes called Obama Care. This executive order was to make clear that the government would not allow us of federal funds for abortion services. The only exception was in case of incest, rape, or the health of the mother. The order also mentions the Hyde Amendment as one of its foundations policies that restricts what the government

Abortion is one the most controversial topics in the United States. The issue at hand is should abortion be legal or not. It is highly debated with in both media and politics. According to History Channel, “Supreme Court legalizes abortion”, in 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court Case Roe V. Wade ruled that women have the constitutional right to privacy, thus legalizing abortion. This law gave women the right to terminate a pregnancy during the first two trimesters. This sparked huge controversy between pro-life and pro-choice believers. Both pro-life and pro-choice have numerous arguments to justify their opinions. In a report done by WebMD, “Abortion-Reasons Women Choose Abortion,” nine out of ten abortions are performed within the first twelve weeks. Abortion should be legal because it is a women’s constitutional right, mental and physical health, and other.

Do not interfere with anyone else’s belief. Abortion is another issue that revolves around religion. On November 27, 2015 a shooter arrived at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs and killed 3 while injuring 9. This tragic event is prime proof that a compromise needs to officially reached. Polarization has driven the two beliefs of conservative pro-life and liberal pro-choice apart so much that it results in death. The government should issue a statement that is will continue to remain pro-choice and continue to fund Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood receives half a billion a year from the government, but this is a fair number since Planned Parenthood would not be able to function otherwise. Planned Parenthood does not just provide abortions, and so this money is greatly needed. Besides, abortion restrictions are already in place in several states and the average wait time is 7.6 days. So, the government should continue to fund Planned Parenthood and keep the current restrictions in place, but also make it clear that abortion illegal after the 2nd

So, based on the information above, one can safely conclude that abortion shouldn’t be legal. It takes the lives of millions of children a year, at the legal point of abortion the fetus is no longer tissue, mothers should be held to the same standard as the fathers and either accept the consequences for their actions or plan ahead of time, and everything that allowed for Roe V Wade contradicts it. Except in the unfortunate event of a rape or when the mother’s life is at risk, abortion needs to be illegalized in

In the United States abortion was legalized in 1973 in the case Roe V Wade but that didn't deteriorate the brutal feud on the issue.It's a matter of personal opinion,culture, or tradition that determines if it's a wrong or right execution.There's been a controversy for decades now on whether or not abortion should remain legal, in other words it's pro choice vs pro life.They’ve disputed the future of the women and the child through debates with few if any compromises.Abortion being legal reduces death and maternal injuries caused by illegal abortions.Abortion needs to continue being legal not only because some mothers or parents are financially incapable of taking care of a child

Abortion has always been the hot topic of laws - should it be legal? Should it not? Usually, they claim it’s immoral based on religious beliefs and nothing else - even when there’s a law that separates the church from lawmaking. Political leaders have made it their duty to express their disagreement with such choice that in no way affects them. However, every woman should be entitled to do whatever they wish with their body, including abortion. With abortion comes Planned Parenthood, an organization built for women’s health care. The government has begun defunding this organization because it’s known for providing the service of abortion; however that’s only 3% of what they do. Planned Parenthood performs hundreds of thousands of breast and cervical cancer exams to women who cannot afford it. The government is purposefully taking healthcare, a basic human right, away from women who need it in protest of one of the rights we should

Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, over 58 million babies have been terminated. This number will only continue to grow. Abortion is one of the most controversial topics out there. Two people come into play, pro-life and pro-choice supporters. If someone is pro-life, they don’t agree with abortions. However, if someone is pro-choice, they like the idea of a women being able to choose. These two people are like oil and water; they don’t mix well. Abortions should be illegal in the United States because innocent babies are being killed, babies are individuals, and babies should have rights to their own bodies.

While I do not believe that abortion is right, I mostly agree with the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full Disclosure Act of 2015.” In this bill, it is clearly stated that taxpayers’ money will not be used to fund abortions anymore, but that is not stopping anyone from having the procedure performed. An individual may choose to pay for the abortion themselves, or they are able to purchase a separate insurance specifically for abortions,

We all live our lives as we please all in accordance to the law, but when it comes to abortion people start to judge and try to regulate how others live and interfere in their personal choices. We live in a country based on freedoms, and women have and should continue to have the freedom to the choice of an abortion. A woman’s right to choose abortion is a fundamental right recognized by the US Supreme Court. The courts also have a category of classes called the ‘near-suspect’ classes, which include gender. Gender deserves protection from possible discrimination at the hands of the majority. Women constitute a majority of American’s and have been discriminated in the past. The Landmark case Roe v. Wade was decided and remains the law of the land. Making laws against abortions don’t stop abortions from happening; they just make it less safe, which in many cases leads to death. Therefore idea of supporting pro-life is contradictory, this is why the nation should be pro-choice. No child should be brought into this world where they are not wanted or are not able to live a normal life. Most people who are against abortion will never even become pregnant, so they should not be making laws against it. Pregnancy is a private and personal matter. Outlawing abortion is discriminatory and unfortunately abortions are being transformed from a right to a privilege for most women.

The right to life is the most basic and important right that we have. In the past two hundred years, over one million Americans have died for their country. Monuments have been built and speeches have been delivered, honoring these American heroes. America is now engaged in a war where there are no heroes, no monuments or tributes - only victims. Our society has declared war on its most helpless members - our unborn children. Since that war was declared on January 22, 1973, there have been over 35 million deaths.

Does a women’s right to choose to have an abortion outweigh a baby’s right to be born? The controversy at hand is whether the rights of a women outweigh the rights of a baby, and whether a mother should be given the rights to pursue a procedure like an abortion. To clarify an abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy in which a doctor uses a vacuum and suction to suck out a fetus from the uterus. The issue is whether the fetus who has the potential to be a rational, productive human being has the unequivocal rights of any other human being and whether he or she should be protected from, in every sense of the word, murder. The argument made by abortionfacts.com a nonprofit Christian pro-life education organization, is that

To deny a woman the right to terminate her pregnancy is akin to robbing her of any ability to make decisions about her body, her self, and her future. The woman is effectively forced, against her will, to assume an identity and a future that she normally would have avoided. This type of coersion can permanently damage a persons emotional and psychological health. The one thing that makes each of us an individual is our decision making freedom and powers regarding our own future and actions. But when we are robbed of our ability to make our own decisions about our future, our self, and our identity, then we are robbed of our most essential and valuable treasure…our self. If a woman wishes to obtain an early term abortion…to terminate a pregnancy…then she must be allowed to choose this option. If she id denied an abortion, then both her and the future child will suffer tremendously. Please stop viewing abortion as something that you should have sole control over. A person’s body is their own, not yours. It is threatening and invasive when others attempt to direct the lives of their peers. Rather supporting the tyrannical idea of forced childbirth, perhaps you ought to consider the more moderate concept that all people should be able to choose the future of their bodies and reproductive functions. I advocate neither abortion nor
