Being Pro-Life Should Be Aborted In The US

In the United States alone, over one million babies are aborted, making the counties abortion rate one of the highest among other countries. This means that one out of every four pregnancies end in abortion, one out of three American women will have an abortion by the time they are 45, and half of women seeking to abort a baby have already aborted one in the past (“U.S. Abortion Statistics.”). Since the 1930’s, the population growth in America has been the lowest because of abortion. Two generations of Americans have technically been murdered because the aborted children will not be able to have the families and lives of their own (Steven Ertelt.).

Forty-five years ago, the Supreme Court of the United States infamously declared in the case Roe v. Wade that abortion was a women’s right for the “entirety of the pregnancy.”1 This case also limited the states’ ability to regulate abortions performed in the three trimesters of pregnancy. Since this decision, over 60 million unborn children have been killed by abortion.2 By contrast, 1.1 million soldiers have died in all the U.S. wars combined.3 In a country founded upon the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, abortion is one of the greatest downfalls of those principles. It must be eliminated.

The United States has been divided now over the issue of abortion for thirty-three years since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade in 1973. As of today, over 45 million legal abortions have been performed in the United States. Pro-choice advocates hold these 45 million abortions as being 45 million times women have exercised their right to choose to get pregnant and to choose to control their own bodies. To pro-life, or anti-abortion, advocates these 45 million abortions constitute 45 million murders, a genocide of human life in the United States propagated by the court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade. The debate over abortion in the United States is thus a debate of two extremes. One side argues from the personal liberty of the mother. The

“Over the last three decades, the abortion debate has been characterized as the clashing of rights: the human rights of the unborn on the one hand and the reproductive rights of women on the other.” (Erika Bachiochi “How Abortion Hurts Women: The Hard Proof”) Abortion has been one of the most controversial topics in history. We are constantly seeing the news talk about it and rallies over why people want to keep abortions legal or put a stop to this cruel act.

One of the most influential philanthropists of all time, Mother Teresa, once explained that to her the greatest destructor of peace was “abortion, because it is a war against the child- a direct killing of the innocent child- murdered by the mother herself.” In the United States, four in ten of unintended pregnancies result in abortion culminating in approximately 1.21 million abortions each year.1 Abortion, defined as the removal of a fertilized egg from the uterus, has been a controversial issue in our society. On January 1973 the Supreme Court of the U.S gave the right to abortion on Roe vs Wade. This monumental decision gives the absolute right to abortion regardless of the stage of pregnancy, not limited to the first trimester as it

There are not many issues that are as divisive as abortion. From arguments over women’s rights, freedom of choice, or health to an unborn human’s rights, freedom to live, or just his general well-being, there are few issues that divide people as much and are debated as much as the abortion issue. However, the undisputed fact is that since Roe v. Wade went into effect, over 60 million unborn babies have been killed. Many in the medical field have shifted their opinions on this matter and as more people conclude that unborn humans are one hundred percent human, the debate changes from a scientific standpoint morality versus convenience standpoint. Abortion must be outlawed because it could compromise the

In the United States on average, the Center of Disease Control or the CDC, state that an average of 652 hundred thousand abortions are done with legal medical methods in the United States every year, but that's not including the abortions that are not reported and are not done by legal medical methods within the United States. For most people, most would agree that this statistic is an outstanding number, especially to the regards of abortion. And it is statistics like these that would fuel and stir conversations on the subject on whether or not abortions within the United States should be legal and if it is really necessary for women and create very serious arguments and validations from both sides of the spectrum. The reason why this conversation

Pregnancy can be either wonderful, or terrifying. Complications result in miscarriages and deaths every day, and the weight of that knowledge can drown any expectant mothers joy in anxiety. Fear for the life that the child will lead, or even fear of how the child was conceived can send many to the abortion clinic or the nearest hospital that provides this procedure. However, many women who choose to end their child’s life may not realize the pain they are putting themselves through, and the alternatives they can take instead of this life-altering decision to throw away the person growing inside them. Something needs to be done, and in order for more children to live as they were meant to, abortions need to be limited and regulated in order

Fifty-eight million lives, that is how many lives have been lost in the United States alone due to abortion since the court case of Roe vs. Wade in 1973. That is fifty-eight million lives that will never be lived; that will never experience falling in love, first kisses, getting married, having children, all the joys that life can offer. Generations of lives forever changed, voided, by a woman’s choice to end a life. Although a common practice in the United States, abortion should be outlawed, because abortion is murder and life begins at conception.

We live in a world that proclaims a false dichotomy: "you are either for women 's well-being and empowerment, or you are pro life" (Beaty 2015). Forty years after the monumental Roe v. Wade case, we are surprised to see a gradual shift in favor of pro-life views to 51%. Continual restriction to readily available abortion is necessary because of the brutalities associated with the abortion industry, the restriction to fundamental rights of the unborn, and the harmful and unintended effects post-abortive women face.

Abortion has been a recurring issue in our society for over a century, responsible for countless marches, protests, and debates. Both sides display zealous passion for their belief. Since the well-known Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade, declaring that women can constitutionally decide for themselves whether or not to have an abortion, Pro-life activists across the country have have dedicated their lives to overturning this amendment (Roston 2008). Beginning in the late 1800s, as birth control and contraceptives gained popularity, Americans became more dependant on these means of “protection,” increasing sexual behavior across the country (Judie 1986). Later, abortion was legalized as a potential solution to the resulting unintentional pregnancies, sparking empathy in people who believed in the humanity of the unborn child (D 'Souza 2009). The Right-to-Life movement was only the start to the wildfire of pro-life citizens throughout our nation.

Abortion is an extremely painful topic for both men and women who have put themselves in the situation of whether or not to end a pregnancy. It is one of the most polarizing moral issues and most people are very strong opinionated on one side or the other, with very few people considering themselves undecided. Twenty-one percent of all pregnancy’s end in abortion (8), and I will argue that abortion should be illegal, with exception to those who are victims of rape or incest.

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.

The slaughter of innocence has begun ever since the year of 1973. The Constitution permits abortion legalization. It’s not in the Bill of Rights or the Constitution, but the right to privacy and reproductive rights is an “enumerated right.” The Supreme Court legalized abortion in the first trimester. Since then over 35 million pregnant women have had legalized abortions. One will agree that they are living life in full potential and will say that they are loving life, but some will not realize that there are also others who have not experienced a life and others that have died before taking their first baby step. Twenty-five percent of pregnancies are constantly aborted and forty-one

Abortion has been known for thousands of years yet in the 1800’s states began making the medical procedure illegal. Many women sought to get abortions still from places other than the hospitals these were known as “Back-alley abortions”. Using these abortions many women suffered serious trauma or harm during these procedures. Therefore between 1967 and 1973 ⅓ of the states repealed the criminal abortion law. On the contrary the right to have an abortion only applied to american women in 1973. The 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade made it possible for women to get safe, legal abortions from well-trained medical practitioners. This led to dramatic decreases in pregnancy-related injury and death.
