Arguments Concerning The Legalization Of Abortion

I am an Evansville native writing on behalf of women in the state of Indiana who will be disproportionately affected by State Representative Curt Nisly’s proposed “Protection at Conception” bill which he intends to bring to the January 2017 General Assembly. I want to acknowledge that I have respect for those who identify as pro-life, as someone who formerly fought to protect the unborn from abortion, it is a set of ideals that I am very familiar with. That being said, I am writing to implore you to take a fervent stand against this complete abortion ban that Representative Nisly is hoping will pass in Indiana.

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.

Argumentative Analysis of Abortion Rights Abortion has been a controversial topic and fluctuated in-and-out of political discussions for decades, but has started to become a more popular debate topic as of late. People have debated between “Pro-Choice”, a woman’s right to choose, as well as “Pro-Life”, strictly anti-abortion, as well as the lawmakers part in recognizing the issue. A Harvard College newspaper printed an opinion-based article by Tanya Luhrmann for Abortion Rights Action Week called, The Pro-Choice Argument. The author claims that a powerful part of American life is the experience of being a mother, and that each side, “Pro-Choice” and “Pro-Life”, feels attacked from one another affecting the mother and child relationship.

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

Jill Sikora Marquis v.s. Thomson (An Essay of Two Abortion Arguments) Philosophers, lawyers, theologians and others have devoted and continue to devote their lives to study of the ethics of abortion. Since abortion was legalized, the abortion debate has intensified, and does not show any signs of being resolved anytime soon. The idea’s that advocate the women’s right to abort or the proactive logic that supports the pro-life view and the fundamental identity of the baby all come in hand when looking at the ethics of abortion .American philosopher, Judith Jarvis Thompson and american philosopher Don Marquis both came up with very good arguments to support what they believe.

This is not a fictional story, but instead an illustration of Hill v. Colorado, one of the many anti-abortion protest cases that would make it’s way to the Supreme Court’s attention from 1990s to the early 2000. The legalization of abortions has long been a controversial subject since it was found to be constitutional in Roe v. Wade legalizing abortions on Jan 22, 1973. Several court cases including: McCullen v. Coakley and Hill v. Colorado to name a couple, have challenged the laws concerning protesting that came with the legalization of abortions, as it stands. This case note will scrutinize the Supreme Court’s decision to abolish buffer zones outside of abortion clinics, contending women’s constitutional rights to abort an unwanted pregnancies without harassment.

Abortion or Something “The technician had grown quiet. She just kept printing picture after picture and pressing the wand deeper into the gel on my stomach,” (Cohen). Rebecca Cohen would soon find out her baby’s brain had been destroyed. At 21 weeks she chose to have an abortion and said it

Jeremiah 1:5 says, ”Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nation's.” Abortion is a very sensitive topic to talk about. Most people are uncomfortable talking about abortion. Some people are against abortion and some are with abortion. In my opinion, I do not agree with abortion. There are many questions asked from both opposing sides when you talk about abortion. Some people ask when human life begins and when life becomes valuable. In these next paragraphs there will be arguments from both the pro abortion and against abortion.

Abortion is widely controversial topic. Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, it remains a sticky discussion and a hard subject to address. As a social worker we are thought to provide services despite what we may or may not believe. If you are a pro-life life activist, you’re against

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 pro-life and pro-choice argument is ongoing, but perhaps one of the most common mistakes when looking at the abortion question is to assume that all abortions are the same. Not only that, the argument that abortions should not be allowed under any circumstances asserts claims on the immorality of abortion as it emphasizes that abortion is wrong. On the other hand, to allow abortion does not imply that it is right, it merely says that it is, so if a person who is pregnant feels it is wrong, then they should also have the choice to give the child up for adoption or keep it. In this essay, I will argue for the position that abortion should be allowed under some circumstances, and that is to say that there are numerous legitimate reasons

"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born," vocalized by former President Ronald Reagan. When the word abortion is articulated, an automatic opinion forms in a person's mind; he or she is either for this controversial issue or against it. However, there are those who believe that abortion should be used in only special circumstances.

According to the Constitution, each person is undeniably granted from birth their life, liberty, and property. People have control over their own bodies, and according to the philosophy of liberty, no one can tell them otherwise. The court case, Roe vs. Wade, officially made it possible for women to have abortions, if they chose to do so. Historically, after this proclamation, the death rate of women dying from illegal abortions drastically dipped in thousands. However, because of the constitution's fundamental flexibility and broad interpretation, many clinics in conservative states are closing down, due to restrictions indirectly enforced by anti-abortion groups. In parts of Texas, women have to spend more money on more procedures including

Pamela Madsen once said that “Reproductive freedom is not just the ability not to have a child through birth control. It's the ability to have one if and when you want.” In January of 1973, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the constitutional right to privacy emcompasses a woman’s right to “make her own personal medical decision-including the decision to have an abortion” (“Reproductive Rights”). No person should be given the grievance of being heavily forced to carry and bring an unwanted child into the world. However, in many countries, such as Uganda and Iran, it is illegal to have an abortion. The right to have an abortion should be a guaranteed basic right for women because it is their body and they should be allowed to make

Abortion: Legalized Murder A resounding tune states that people make the world go around. It is understandable that old age, illnesses, accidents, wars, and many other disasters bring on reductions within the population. Yet, abortion as an act of population reduction is often a topic that many people would rather not discuss. Abortions account for 1.3 million deaths among unborn children yearly (“Abortion: Late-Term/Partial Birth 2). The purpose of this research is to argue that, with the exception of cases where the mother’s life is in grave danger, abortions should be illegal.
