Bohon's Arguments Against Abortion

When it comes to abortion, everyone has a slightly different view. Whether one believes that no one, or everyone, should be allowed to get an abortion, the same question comes into play: Is abortion ethical? In addition, when does a human life actually start? Without concrete facts, we can only do so much with those questions, which is why this is such a controversial topic. We need to consider all the facts and information available. For example, whether or not a fetus feels pain, how old the fetus is, and what condition the pregnant woman is in. The main argument comes down to pro-life versus pro-choice. After doing extensive research, I have come to agree with the side of pro-choice, meaning that

A woman is more than a fetus. Though a woman might be pregnant with a child, she is still her own person and has every right to decide what she wants to do with her body. Many people argue that having an abortion can be emotionally damaging, however, so can abortion. Women develop an emotional bond with a child when they carry it through the full term and go through an experience of delivery. Giving up that child for adoption might be the only reasonable option for a young girl too immature or poor to raise a child. However, that woman has to live with a feeling of abandoning their child for the rest of her life. In my opinion, having an abortion can be psychologically damaging to a woman; however, giving up a child from adoption is a great deal worse.

The procedure used for abortion is not only harmful to the baby obviously, but it can be dangerous for the mother both physically and mentally. Many of the risks of abortion include bleeding, infection, damage to organs, and sometimes even death but it is very rare (considering abortion). It is healthier for the woman to have birth than going through this dangerous procedure, and if the mother is not ready or does not want the baby, she can give it up for adoption. It is only fair to the baby to at least give it life to live with a family who adopts it than no life at all. After the abortion is over, women think that they are going to feel relieved to finally get this over with. For most women, this is not the case. After going through the procedure and seeing the baby get removed from their body, they almost always feel immediate regret. Seeing a dead baby the size of the palm of the doctor’s hand catches mothers off guard and traumatizes them and it should. Studies show that most women wish that they had known more about abortion before they got one (considering abortion). So, even though there are physical risks to abortion, the mental risks are the most harmful.

no one has an excuse that a women and a man could make a baby , everyone knows that when they have sex , that child is in the making . but many of these women are young and they don’t want to take the responsibility to take care of their child so they decide to have an abortion but they don’t know what doctors do to the babies after the aborton . they take apart the baby’s limbs for who knows what . But majority of the young women don’t know that there committing a murder, they won’t get in trouble with the law but inside it would hurt them. Abortion is never they way out, if you choose to have an abortion. There’s always an adoption center because many families are desiring to have a kid of their own. But if you made that to have intercourse without protection then you better e ready to take care of your child. Every child id never a

Abortion is cruel and outrageous and should not even be illegal. Although the mother and father may have a hard time giving his and her child away to another family, he and she would feel better about their choice to choose adoption. Abortion can leave many mothers and fathers wondering all kinds of questions. Some will wonder “what did my child look like, did they look like me?” “I wonder if the baby was a boy or girl.” “What would my child have done with their life?” “Would they have been a lawyer, judge, doctor, astronaut, etc?” “Would we have been able to give the love and support our child needed from us?” “Would I have been a good mother or father?” Although some of the same questions can be asked when adoption is chosen, but many of these questions can be answered, where with abortion the answer will remain unknown until the end of time.

If the women did not want the child it could lead to an abortion, which is the murder of an innocent baby. Surely no human being could say that murder is okay. Even if the women gave up her baby for adoption, that baby is going to have a chance of being in the system, having a hard life of poverty, or feeling empty or upset because their birth parents did not want them. Therefore is much more effective to prevent the pregnancy.

Keeping abortions legal will keep things safe. Abortion is a private matter between a woman and her doctor. Human rights are guaranteed for everyone. Ant-abortion laws cause stress for families that don’t have the resources for a baby. Abortions are safe medical procedures. The overall abortion complication rate is low, and about 25 times lower than child birth (pro choice action network). A recent study has shown the majority of women, 88%, who have abortions do it in their first trimester. The medical abortions have had less than a 0.5% risk of serious complications (10 arguments for and against abortions). Abortion is not a form of contraception. Adoption is not an alternative to abortion. It will still be up to the woman to decide to give her child up for adoption. Statistics have shown that few women who give birth choose to give up their babies. In some cases woman are advised from their doctor to proceed with an abortion due to medical reasons either with the mother or child. Abortions becoming illegal will not stop procedures from happening. The death rates would increase from infections and unsanitary

For instance, there are many more options instead of abortion. Some people can not have children on their own, so adoption for the child is better than no life. There also option where the mother can have an open adoption, that allows her to see her child but someone else takes care

Today, people have the right to voice their thoughts regarding a topic, rather they’re different or alike, creating a new philosophy about it, or supporting the traditional belief. In regards to the topic, Abortion has been a subject of controversial matters. Some believing they have the right to do such an act while others would absolutely disagree. Before supporting such an act or not, we typically take into consideration the goods and bads of the action first. While taking a life might be one of the more foreseeable cons of the act, there are good outcomes as-well. Such as, not having said child endure hardship during their life. That child being the difference between a mother having the means to support herself or not. Lastly, that child doesn 't have to suffer more due to the condition of that unprepared parent. No child should be brought into this world only to live a short life and meet the same fate as they would have if they have been aborted. On the other hand, I side with those who agree. Not to be referred to as a “baby killer” but as someone who has an idea of the consequences of copulation, rather it 's intended or in some cases unintended.

Within the article Our Bodies Are Our Own: Connecting Abortion and Social Policy Bourqeois (2014) clearly identifies abortion as a social issue within society. As Van Ngo (2017) explores, social policy is a societal value which incorporates human wellbeing by dealing with extensive concerns related to health care, education, inequality etcetera. Furthermore, Bourqeois (2017) discusses how despite the decriminalization of abortion by the Federal government in 1988, pro-life advocates continue to challenge and influence legislation and policy. Consequently, limiting women’s access to information and services. Thus, creating a social justice issue which must be rectified by addressing policy.

Abortion has been an ongoing debate for quite sometime now. The definition of abortion is the ending of pregnancy by removing the fetus or embryo before it can survive outside of the uterus. When a mother loses her baby naturally it is called a miscarriage. A similar procedure to an abortion, after the fetus could potentially survive outside the womb, is known as a late termination of pregnancy. Since ancient times, abortions have been done using herbal medicines, sharp tools, force, or other traditional methods. When allowed by law, an abortion, in the developed world, is one of the safest procedures in medicine. Around 56 million abortions are performed each year in the world, with a little under half done unsafely. Unsafe abortions are

Choosing to go through an abortion and placing a child up for adoption are quite different matters to analyze. Simply, going through with an abortion is murder by killing a child. Where as, if you were to put a child up for adoption you are giving that child a chance to live. Enduring an abortion may to some people be a convenience; abortion is a quick way of dealing with this problem. Adoption can be seen as a long and grueling process. However, they are both mentally damaging; in both cases the parents, or parent have to give up a child and a life. In some adoption cases some people choose to take back their child; but for others the decision is indefinite. Both situations must be seriously considered and measured.

When you considered the word abortion and adoption they can bring out different feelings based on people’s perspective. Some would think that abortion is an easier choice because the mother and father do not have the responsibility for a child or for the rest of their lives. From my personal perspective, this is a very bad idea because the mother is taking a life of a child and the procedure could can hurt the women’s body, which could lead to pregnancy challenges in the future. When you discuss the word adoption, some people would consider how long the process might take but would ultimately find gratifications in the process. In several medical cases, couples chose to go through the tough process of

Per Steven Ertelt, “adoption is an option that is not discussed nearly enough in the public debate about choice.” With adoption, everybody wins. The unaborted, adopted child gets the chance to live, and a chance to live in a place with loving, caring people. The adoptive parents in return benefit from having a child of their own. Studies even show that children who were born out-of-wedlock but are raised by adoptive parents flourish in many categories. The adoptive children tend to attain higher levels of education, higher self-esteem, and even enjoy better health. Adoption is also beneficial for the birth mother because she benefits from knowing she made the right decision to give life. Despite adoptions advantages, it has fallen on hard times. Research shows there has been a decrease in adoptions since the legalization of abortions in 1973. Before abortions were legalized, 8.7 percent of children born out-of-wedlock were placed up for adoption, and now statistics show that number to be around one-percent. One matter of concern for the pro-life movement is that women facing crisis pregnancies often have false ideas about adoption. Pregnant women think of adoption as the abandonment of their child, and see abortion as a much easier alternative (Ertelt n.p.).

The choice between adoption and abortion changes millions of lives every day. Some advocates of abortion feel if the mother of the child thinks that she will not be a good parent or thinks she will harm the child, that she has the right to abort the child. Abortion is a life changing decision and has the reputation of being an easy way out of an unwanted pregnancy. Adoption, on the other hand, is one way for a woman who is not prepared to be a parent to provide her child the best life possible without being involved in the child’s life. According to national estimates, one million children in the United States live with adoptive parents and from 2% to 4% of American families include an adopted
