Abortion which is the practice of terminating a pregnancy has been around since ancient time. On January 22, 1973 it became a much discussed topic when the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision restricted access to abortion. Since this time laws and regulations have changed. Anywhere you go in the United States people have opinions on whether it should be legal or illegal. It is my opinion that abortions be illegal with some circumstantial situations being considered. In the United States 41 states require that abortions performed must be by a licensed physician. Many states have rules and regulations but is that enough? Abortion has many faces, some types of abortions are:

I feel that it is a life that deserves a chance and by having an abortion the person is not giving the fetus a chance. One reason I feel against an abortions is that it can sometimes make situations worse. Emotionally a person may not be able to handle the guilt associated with this act. Another reason is that the fetus is an innocent life with the potential to be something great. What if the fetus that was killed was they person that would cure cancer? Abortions can also harm the physical state of women. Anytime a surgery is under gone a risk factor is there as well. The obvious reasons for not having an abortion are simply the humanitarian aspects of it. Who are we to play God? It is not up to us to choose who lives and who dies. The fetus has a heartbeat. I am not totally against the idea of abortion. I feel that in necessary situation it may be needed. I have an aunt that was pregnant for her second child and when she was 5 months along the doctors noticed that the baby with in her did not have any lungs. When the baby was to be born he would not have ability to breathe. The doctor of my aunt recommended she have an abortion. Their reasoning what that it would begin the healing process for her mentally and physically so she could try to get pregnant another time. In January of 2003 a week before my mother gave birth to my sister Hanna, my aunt had her abortion. She delivered a small baby barely big enough to hold in the palm of her hand. She named him
Imagine if you were placed in a life or death situation and you had no way to fight for life. This is the circumstance that unborn children encounter when they are forced to experience an abortion, which terminates them and tortures them during their mother’s pregnancy. Abortion is wrong and should be illegal, because it violates the rights of an unborn human being who doesn’t have control over what happens to them. I believe everyone should be against abortion due to my personal opinion as well as genuine facts of the negative effects this procedure has. Abortion is a touchy subject that people feel very strongly about, whether they are “pro life” or “pro choice”.
Abortion of a baby is murder. Many physicians in the United States have stated they can clearly detect brain waves in a baby as young as two months old. They have also stated that the baby can in fact feel the pain of the abortion. So, it is not only painful for the mother, it is also just as painful for the baby. The baby has a very high chance of being born healthy, with few to no problems. An abortion takes that chance away. Most babies have a very high chance of survival and being born very healthy. The baby deserves
One in every four pregnancies there is an abortion. Half of the women that got an abortion before is more likely going to get another abortion. There is a low percent of abortions that ended up by rape or the mother’s health. Most people think abortion is wrong and it can be. If it is a danger to the mother, the baby or if the mother has gotten raped its a different story. The mother should have a right to choose.Women should be able to choose if they want to get an abortion if it is not their fault.
There are quite a few reasons why I am against abortion. The first reason is because of the effects it leads to women’s health. Three years after an abortion women develop and are diagnosed with new depression and anxiety. Those women who want to conceive a baby once they are ready will not be able to because of the abortion they had as teens which led them to have mental health problems and
Abortion is an argumentative issue across the world. Many people have different views and opinions on this topic. My opinion on abortion is if you put yourself into the position then you should deal with consequences. Why should an innocent unborn baby have to give their life for two other people’s mistakes? If you are not ready for that type of responsibility, then don’t take the risk. But for instance though if the women/girl are ever raped or incest, there is medical care to ensure that she won’t get pregnant. The unborn baby shouldn’t be punished as it committed no crime.
No one wants to harm a little baby, so why choose to abort it, if abortion inflicts pain? Abortion can cause psychological damage and future medical problems for the mother. Studies have proved that women may go into depression from an abortion, and are more likely to commit suicide than those who choose not to abort the baby. Abortion can increase the risk of breast cancer. If you are a pregnant women, why do this to yourself and take these risks, when you can give birth to the infant and put it up for adoption, so it could possibly be brought into a loving
Another reason why I do not believe abortions should be done is because of the many risks involved for the woman undergoing the abortion. The risks involved are both medical and emotional. In an article a psychiatrist and member of the Right to Life Committee, Carmen Gómez-Lavín states that: "Sixty five percent of women who abort suffer symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome after undergoing the procedure." The medical risks when most women have abortions is cramping and pelvic pain. It can also result in a torn cervix. Some women even had a hole in there uterus. There is also the emotional pain that
Abortion has been one of our top topics for many years now. We have two sides to this topic, either you are with it or you are against it. Many people in this world feel like its evil to kill an unborn human/baby for no reason. The other half of the people believes that a woman has the legal right to choose what she wants to do with her body. They believe no one has the right to tell them what they can or can’t do. Especially if the woman has health issues, has been raped, and evening if that baby is threatening her own life. To me it’s always depending on how a woman uses abortion. I do find it wrong if she just wants to get an abortion to go back to partying, and not taking care of themselves. I also see it in the other direction what of the women was raped? Why bring an unwanted baby into this world if no one is going to be happy. It could with be used in a good or bad way. It’s wrong to kill an unborn baby, but it’s also wrong to bring a baby that’s unwanted.
Abortion in my opinion should be illegal, there are people in this world who simply cannot have children of their own. There are other options available than one choosing to end a pregnancy. Abortion is a touchy subject, but just like an other debate there is two sides. In this case one is either Pro-life, or Pro-choice. Pro-life is when one is 100% against abortion and believes that life begins at conception, which means abortion at any stage of pregnancy is considered murder. They also believe that life whether born or unborn is precious, and that the life of the unborn is just as valuable as the born. Then there is pro-choice, where one believes that the parents of the fetus should have the choice to either follow through with the pregnancy or to terminate. The definition of abortion is the act of removing a human embryo or fetus from the uterus of a pregnant woman prior to the completion of the full term of pregnancy.” Abortions have always been and will always be a topic that no one will ever agree upon. Some Pro-abortionists claim that the anti-abortionist are completely against women having rights and the choice rather than the abortion in itself. Pro-life and pro-choice have different opinions, mainly in the fact of where life begins, and the side effects abortions have on the mothers, politics, and how religion plays in on abortions.
One reason why people are in favor of abortion is that a woman's reproductive choice empowers her by giving her control over the things done to her own body. The choice is theirs to make when they want to have children or when they do not want to have any. However others state that when fertilization occurs a human life is created. When a human is made it has a unique genetic identity that will never change throughout the course of his or her life. This fetus has a right to live and it should not be taken away from someone else. Research has shown that women are 0.6 in 100,000 likely to die from getting an abortion whereas in giving birth a woman is 8.8 in 100,000 times more likely to die. Citizens look at those numbers and realize that there is not any harm in getting an abortion done because it is “more healthy” than giving birth. However there is harm in getting one done, you can end up having psychological damage. Scandinavian Journal of Public Health found that young women who
I believe that it is a woman’s choice whether to keep her child or not. I don’t think that anyone should interfere with the choice of the provider of the baby. Abortion is a popular topic in the debate world, but I strongly believe it shouldn’t since at the end of the day the woman is liable for her child. In this article, an unknown writer wrote, “The fact that a fetus may or may not have a beating heart, developing neurological structures, identifiable digits, or any other human quality does not equate abortion to murder. All embryonic organisms resemble a developed version of said organism. Additionally, a fetus does not have the mature, necessary neuroanatomical system required to feel pain until 26 weeks gestation. Not to mention,
Certainly the issue of abortion is not something to be taken lightly because it is the termination of what could, potentially, become a human being. There are very many ways of looking at abortion, which make it hard to decide whether or not you are for it. Although there are many good reasons as to why someone would choose to be against it I, for one, believe abortion could, in some cases, be the right thing to do. Abortion could save women from an experience that could either damage or kill them. This is not the same for every single case but there are exceptions.
There are many reasons why people have abortions and not all reasons are good reasons but most are good reasons with good intentions. An example of a good reason for a abortion is keeping a kid out of a world where he isn’t really wanted by the person who gave them birth. There is nothing more heartbreaking than growing up thinking or knowing you’re not wanted. Not to mention that the adoption system is broken and practically pointless and put more
Everyone has a different view on abortion. Some think it should be legalized while others think that it shouldn’t be. Nowadays, pregnancy is something you see in everyone from teens to adults. Abortion gives the people the right to decide what’s right for them and what’s not. It should be legal because people should be given the right to decide whether or not they’re ready or not to bring someone else into the world and provide for them.
Abortion has been around for many years, It started in the late 1800’s but the state did not pass this law till the 19th century. Abortion has been an issue for awhile in 2008 it increased by 1.21 million. In recent years it has become more and more of a topic, in my opinion abortion should only be done if a woman is raped or if the mom is a drug addict. All together in the u.s there has been 8,495.5 abortions, For many years, in the world Abortion has been a controversial topic and the only time that it should be allowed or relevant to discussion is when a woman is raped and bearing a child.
