Arguments for and Against Abortion
An abortion is also known as a termination, meaning to terminate, to stop. An abortion is when you stop a pregnancy, by removing the foetus from the womb.
Many people frown upon abortions, as they see them as the killing of a life. Other people believe that it is a ‘potential’ life, and that a foetus is not considered to be a child.
Some people feel that in a situation where the prospective parents are told their unborn child may be disabled, an abortion is acceptable.
The situation mostly frowned upon is abortion for social reasons e.g. the mother cannot afford to bring up the child, is too young to have a child, it is not the right time for having

The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.”
This quote shows that Christians believe that only God should decide who should live or die. It implies we should not choose our own deaths, or choose whether someone else should live or die, and that we only take our memories and things we have learnt when we die.
This quote could be construed that Christian belief is against abortion. Abortion would deny a foetus the chance to experience life, and gain knowledge and memories.
I believe that the quote has a valid opinion, but on the other hand, understand that people cannot always provide for a child, or may have a medical problem which could cause them harm is they went through with a pregnancy. They should be allowed the freedom to choose whether they want an abortion, but should only use this as a last resort. Careless pregnancies should not happen, as people should take more care, and use contraceptives.
If what God says is right, and what he does sets a precedent, then why does he kill? In the story or Noah, God wiped out the whole world (except for a few people and animals), just because it did not please him that the world had turned out the way it did, as it was not what he had planned. In these actions, is God not doing the same thing as a woman might do when she has an abortion? She is terminating her
Abortion is known as the termination of human pregnancy. There are mixed opinions from the public on whether abortion is considered murder or not. This topic has always been controversial and there is no sign of it being left alone. There are two groups of people related to abortion. Those are pro-life and pro-choice, pro-life oppose abortion and pro-choice is for abortion. There have been many court cases on the topic of abortion, such as Roe v. Wade, Doe v. Bolton, Baird v. Bellotti, and Harris v. McRae to name a few. The federal government’s decisions on the cases are very unbiased and their behavior towards abortion is neutral but sometimes they do change. These court cases have made major impacts to the nation in terms of abortion

Abortion is a very sensitive and controversial topic. There are people who believe that abortion should be a right and a woman should be able to decide whether to terminate her pregnancy. Persons with this perspective are pro-choice. However, there are others who believe that abortion is not a right and a woman should not be able to terminate a pregnancy just because she doesn’t want to have a baby. People with that view are pro-life. Because abortion is a debatable issue and has these two perspectives linked to it, we can group arguments used to support either perspective into categories of pros and cons. Three pros of this topic are; ‘A baby should not come into the world unwanted’, ‘Abortion is a justified means of population control’, and ‘The US Supreme Court has declared abortion to be a fundamental right’. Whereas three cons are; ‘Abortion promotes a culture in which human life is disposable’, ‘Abortion eliminates the potential of societal contributions of a future human being’, and ‘Abortion is murder, the killing of an innocent human being is wrong even if that human being has yet to be born’. As controversial as the subject of abortion can be, it is more than just a debatable topic for interesting group conversations or small talk. It is a Health Issue because this procedure, whether it is done medically or surgically comes with health risks and consequences. I will be discussing some of the different ways in which this health issue
Abortion is a polarizing topic that everyone will have their own opinion on. Abortions have an increasing number of cases all over the world. All of these cases have factors such as social & economic issues. As the Merriam-Webster dictionary mentions, the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: such as a spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation. Since abortions is much of a controversial topic, there are many sides to it. The two main sides/groups are pro-life and pro-choice. According to the article “Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice, a person who is pro-life believes that the government has an obligation to preserve
God does what He does and we do what we can do and good things are the result. I have also realized there are some things that God will not do. It doesn’t mean that God can’t do them; it’s just that He won’t do them. Big difference! God has no limitations but He does have boundaries. God has placed certain restrictions upon Himself these restrictions are a reflection of His nature and essence within our created world. God created all of humanity to be participants in His creation and not to be spectators of it

Abortion is a serious topic that people have been debating about for years. Everywhere you turn the topic of abortion presents itself, on TV, in the newspapers, in books and magazines. It already has, and will continue to cause, controversy for years to come. As long as abortion remains legal, pro-life advocates will continue to protest what they believe to be these horrible acts of murder.
Abortion is the termination of a human pregnancy by choice. A U.S Supreme Court case on January 22, 1973(Roe v. Wade) ruled that unduly restrictive state regulation of abortion is unconstitutional. Although this court case essentially decriminalized abortion, the morality behind it is still heavily questioned 44 years later. Movements such as pro-life and pro-choice have both made strides in converting their beliefs into legislation. However despite the legal progress both sides have made, abortion continues to be an ethnically divisive topic.
Mostly seen as a religious issue, abortions are anything but that. Biology and science are the only deciding factors when it comes down to it. Science is the only thing that can prove whether an unborn child is living; no religion can do that. Through modern science and technology, it has been proven and well documented that human life does in fact begin at conception. The scientific evidence also contradicted the court ruling in the Roe v. Wade case, where it was stated that the Court could not decide on the subjective question and there was insufficient evidence to prove otherwise. This decision in the court came two years after “a group of 220 distinguished physicians, scientists, and professors showed evidence to the court that showed
The ultimate price that unborn babies pay for not being recognized as a citizen is being aborted. They are not granted human rights at conception, and therefore do not have the right to keep living. Just because they do not have a voice, their life is being innocently taken way too soon. In 1973, the Roe vs. Wade court case made it legal for abortions to be performed in the United States. Since then, the issue has been debated in every way: politically, religiously, scientifically, morally, and ethically. But, the fact of the matter is, a person is a person no matter how small. People of all different beliefs need to realize that a fetus is a human just like everyone else. Once everyone can realize this maybe some sort of conclusion or agreement
Sometimes people do not understand how a God of love could have such wrath and demand punishment for sin. We must understand that God is holy and cannot tolerate sin. He cannot just overlook wickedness. (Laney). There must be punishment and payment for it. This is why God had to give punishment for sin, but in His love He prepared a way to redeem the sinners. His plan to save humankind can be found in the promise of Christ, God’s Son, who is to pay the penalty for all our sins.
The debate on whether abortion should be legal, or illegal has become a controversial topic that has divided the nation into two. The group of people who don’t see anything wrong with the issue refer to their group as pro-choice supporters. Their main belief about abortion is that because a woman’s body belongs to herself it should be up to her on whether she wants to keep a baby or not. Those who are against abortion and feel it should be illegal think of themselves as pro-life supporters. They believe that a fetus becomes human at conception making abortion murder. In other words, they feel abortion is immoral and should be illegal. People shouldn’t view abortion as killing a baby, it’s much more than that. Abortion is an option for
In the Old Testament God entered into special relationship with his people. These relationships were based on stipulations that he set-up. For instance, the Abrahamic covenant was based on a promise that God, himself, would do what he said he would. He not only entered into the contract, but tied himself to it as well. After telling Abraham to cut up animals, he placed him under a deep sleep and walked between the cut up animal carcasses. In a very real way God was saying that if he did not uphold his end of the relationship then what was done to the carcasses would be done back to himself. In a very real way, God would take all the blame.
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.
