Arguments Against Abortions

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.

Life can be really harsh on a woman, especially when she is opting to have an abortion. Abortion may emerge as the only way or option for some women. Although a mother may have a difficult time when opting for this option, she may ultimately consider this harsh reality, keeping in mind all the pros and cons of this decision. In fact, abortion has been and always will be a hot and heated topic amongst the masses as people have their own thoughts and opinion regarding it.

Societies frequently regard the term “good” as whatever is pleasurable or moral and “bad” as whatever causes unpleasant outcomes. Therefore it makes sense that we should seek out the good in life and avoid the bad. In cases of abortion, though, where a potential life is considered “bad”, is it justified to remove it? Life is viewed as the highest intrinsic good, thus any act of deliberately taking it away becomes a serious moral issue. Pro-life arguments, or arguments opposing abortion, claim that each human has a right to life, a person is a human at the moment of conception, and each human possesses the obligation to protect human lives. Pro-choice arguments, or arguments supporting abortion, argue that a child’s life begins at birth, a woman has the leading right over her body, and abortion promotes autonomy. I will attempt to refute the leading pro-choice arguments while holding my claim that abortion to end a life is always immoral because it is an act of murder.

Abortion is a social and political issue that many people worldwide feel strongly about. Although the thought of “killing” another human being sounds horrific, it may be the only choice. The question that is often asked, does a woman have the right to choose what happens to her unborn child. Since a woman must carry a child during pregnancy and then be responsible for its physical, intellectual, and emotional well-being, as well as the enormous expense associated with raising a child, she should be allowed to decide if she wants an abortion.

After reading the article, “Why It’s Become So Hard to Get an Abortion”, by Margaret Talbot, I am caught in the middle of pro-choice and pro-life. Talbot provides the reader with an even amount of examples explaining the beliefs of each stance. Being raised as a Catholic, my church has always preached to bring an end to abortion. Although, being a young female, I also feel we should have the choice. I think there is a way to respect personal beliefs and religion, while still being in charge of your body. This being said, I don’t agree with the act of taking the life of an innocent human without it being a medical necessity. This brings up another contrasting point, I believe that if the woman seeking the abortion doesn’t have the means to raise

On the opposite, pro-life supporters assume that fetuses are human, and they are subjected to a lot of pain in the process of an abortion. It is wrong to conclude that a fetus is not a human being since it does not talk, or is not a social entity. Pro-life supporters also argue that a fetus is a potential life and any threat to it is breaking a necessary right to life that is entrenched in almost all constitutions across the world. Pro-choice supporters propose that abortion is an act of purely discrimination to the unborn and that this acts deprives them to the access to a brighter

The argument of abortion has been raging since the Supreme Court case, Roe vs. Wade, in 1973. This court case has divided the country into two factions: pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-life advocates argue that abortions are murder and extreme levels of child abuse. While pro-choice advocates believe abortions are a justifiable means to end pregnancies. The pro-choice argument is that the fetus is not yet a human being and its rights should not override that of the mother's.

One in every three women have an abortion by the age of 45 (Operation Rescue Inc). Though the act of abortion is common it has been an emotionally draining debate since the mid 1970’s, but has always been a hot topic since the 1800’s. There are two sides to this debate. One side is pro-life, in which people believe abortion should be illegal to protect the unborn baby. The other side is pro choice, where the mother of the unborn decides if that fetus lives or dies.

Abortion is a tough topic in which you can only decide to be either for or against it. There is a huge amount of people who believe that abortion should be legal and that everyone should respect that decision; however, there is also people who are against this ideology and believe that abortion is something immoral and should be illegal. People, who is pro-abortion, prefer to say that they are pro-choice. They like better this term because they say that they aren’t fighting for abortions, instead, they are supporting woman’s right. This means that they are pro-choice to fight for equality in woman’s rights and not because they like to abort. The same happens with people that are against abortions, many people prefer to be pro-life. A pro-life person is someone who favors life and is against abortion an any other methods of killing people.

Once a former abortionist stated,“ And as I brought out the rib cage, I looked and saw a tiny, beating heart.”(Bennett) In Jeremiah 1:5 the Bible states “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”i do (The Holy Bible) If God considers us human before we are even conceived then we should, also. Should we listen to God or should we follow the world? Science has proven that babies in the womb are alive and can feel pain. The Pro-Choice Argument has some good points, I agree. They say that it is the Mother’s choice to have the baby or not, but wasn’t it most likely the Mother’s Choice to do what it takes to get pregnant in the first place? Even if it wasn’t her choice, it is still a part of the Mother, it is growing inside her womb. Unborn babies have the right to life because they are alive beginning at the moment of conception, the unborn baby also is human just like us and it has rights, the unborn baby or “fetus” also feels all

The article reviews that some Jews are pro-choice, it is fully permitted under a number of circumstances to have an abortion. The Torah explains that “the human being is created in God’s image”, meaning even before conception occurs. Jews protect a women’s right to have an abortion only in certain situations, abortion is allowed if the fetus would mean harming the mother or in case of rape. In some cases abortions are just done without a cause. Judaism considers it is a personal choice, each women must be able to decide whether or not to continue a pregnancy based on what is best for the mother. Like any other debate there are two sides to this issue, there is a legal and moral concern. Anyways, in the Jews law you can harm the unborn but

The day is hot, as the fiery Mississippi sun blazes down on the Earth unforgivingly. The heat is so intense you cannot feel a breeze as you walk. Women sit in folding chairs, fanning themselves with paper fans folded from their anti-abortion pamphlets. Despite the steamy weather the sidewalk is lined with many folding chairs while protesters take time to regain their strength on such a warm day. The protesters spot a woman coming from her older model Chevy caressing her stomach and suddenly the exhausted protesters become as lively as a dog whose owner has come home after several hours at work. They lift their poster with haunting images of dead children, bible quotes, and guilt provoking phrases. Before the woman can come in contact with the protesters ready to pounce,

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

Many women that choose to have an abortion do not realize that it is a dangerous surgery with serious side effects. These side effects are both physical and psychological. Having an abortion is unnatural and interrupts this function of the human body. “The women’s body naturally resists the abortion, causing physical and emotional problems” (“Who does Abortion Affect?”). Almost all of the women who had abortions feel that they have made the wrong decision. The women are not informed about the side effects of abortion. Many women that had abortions said their doctors gave “little or no information about the potential health risks
