Critical Report On Abortion

In the news article “Abortion: Every Woman’s Rights” Sharon Smith wrote an article about women’s rights to get abortions prior to the hearing of the Planned Parenthood v. Casey court case, “which threatened to severely restrict women access to abortion” (Smith). Women wanted reproductive control over their lives and felt that they were not equal to men no matter what advances they got at work and how high their level of education was. The women’s right movement wanted women to have the choice of abortion for all women, the rich and the poor. In the US, thirty- seven states did not provide

The topic of aborting an innocent fetus has been overwhelmingly controversial in the United States. The two sides to this ongoing debate is pro-life advocates and pro-choice advocates. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside the uterus; whether it is an unplanned or unwanted pregnancy. Abortions are most often performed during the first twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy and can be performed as a medical or surgical procedure. Medical abortions include two types of abortion pills; while the surgical procedures include vacuum aspiration and dilation and evacuation. Ultimately, I am one of the many “pro-lifers”, and I strongly agree that abortion should be illegal because it negatively affects our people. Women across the nation are becoming impregnated and following a short amount of judgement time, turn to abortion to solve their problems but in the end hurt themselves with this decision. Abortions should be illegal because it is immoral and unconstitutional, causes severe mental and physical issues, and negatively impacts the economy. “During the ancient Roman times it has been supposed that abortion and the destruction of unwanted children was permissible, but as our civilization has aged, it seems that such acts were no longer acceptable by rational human beings, so that in 1948, Canada along with most other nations in the world signed a declaration of the United Nations promising every human being the right to life”

Two feminist readings, “Abortion” by Jennifer Saul and “Racism, Birth Control, and Reproductive Rights” by Angela Davis, both cover the important feminist topics of abortion and reproductive rights, but in different ways. Though very alike, the pieces are different in important ways, as they both bring ideas to the table that work in tandem with each other, as I will discuss below. In this paper, I will cover the difference in how these authors approach the subject, how arguments from Saul’s writing strengthens those in Davis’, and how Davis’ essay highlights the importance of intersectionality in feminist discourse.

In the Judith Jarvis Thomson article on “A Defense of Abortion”, there is a lot of arguments that she points out as to why abortion of a child is not entirely wrong. She gives examples and analogies as to what could happen in a case of a woman when she becomes pregnant and is ill, and an abortion is necessary. She gives the readers various points of view on the issue of abortion, and is not seeming to be persuasive to be for or against abortions. It seems as though she is letting the reader understand all angles of the issue and giving the reader a chance to judge for themselves on if abortion is right or wrong considering all factors on what is morally and immorally correct.

What is abortion? An abortion is a medical or surgical procedure used to terminate a pregnancy. A medical abortion is an abortion that is brought about by taking medications that will end a pregnancy. (1) A Surgical abortion is an abortion which ends a pregnancy by emptying the uterus (or womb) with special instruments. (1) Some of the reasons for a woman to get an abortion may be that they can't afford a/another child, health reason of the child's or her own safety, social reasons such as unwanted child or not ready for having a child, and rape or incest. Abortions performed in the seven to nine weeks of the first trimester are medical abortions. (2) All abortions after nine weeks are surgical abortions. Surgical abortions are

Abortion has been a controversial argument for years and continues to be. Many tend to argue the ethics surrounding abortion. Although some may say no one has a right to determine the value of human life, the reality is that abortion should remain legal because a woman has the right to decide what is right for her and the fetus.

Even though Janet Haris directly says it’s right to have an abortion, the writer clearly attempts to say if a teenager or women isn’t ready to be a mother she should feel relief to redeem of unborn babies. The viewpoint of her readers through the use of loaded words while she adamantly states that women don’t need the experience of being a mother to an early age, or if the baby has health conditions and isn’t born yet she can make the choice to aborted. Many teenage girls who become pregnant an early age, and make a decision to have an abortion have better chances to succeed in life. Janet says, “many teenage girls or women won’t have to raise their child alone, or become a single mother. This idea, however, falls short, as Janet Haris,

Abortion is a very touchy and controversial subject in the United States. This research paper will discuss the different positions that abortion has and whether or not it is ethical for a woman to have an abortion, even though it is her legal right in most cases.

"And even though you can't see them or hear them at all, a person's a person, no matter how small." ~ Horton Hears A Who. When does life begin? This an issue that is dividing our world. Although there are many possible answers, only one of them is correct. Human life begins at the moment of conception, the moment when the sperm meets the egg. An abortion, in simple terms, is the legal, deliberate murder of a child in the womb. The horrors of abortion are being obscured by society, and we must spread the truth. Murder, genocide, killing, death, these are all words with a tragic meaning that may bring a tear to our eyes when we hear them. However, we all ignore the word abortion. As unreal as it might seem, the largest genocide of all time is

The following day the man not only gave him each location where the girls were taken, his boss and the names of every man involved, the households that purchased one of these kidnapped girls to marry into their family. Sadly, he confessed the location where several girls were buried and the names of the customers who got out of hand playing with the young girls or responsible for giving them an overdose of drugs because they got them pregnant and it was too late for an abortion. Those peoples' names were on the top of the list to kill on sight. My wife rewarded the man, who could no longer sit down, by throwing him back to the mothers so they could cut his throat when they are tired of venting their anger.

Abortion is defined as the termination of a pregnancy. Many people have different opinions on abortion. Some believe that women have the constitutional right to termite an unwanted pregnancy and decide what they wish to do with their bodies. Others believe abortions aren’t the right choice to make when trying to end an unplanned pregnancy and they try to defend and protect the life of the fetus. For decade’s women have been seeking abortions, to them it seems like an acceptable way to end an unplanned pregnancy (abortion 1).

For those women who choose to not have their baby but have already conceived, there are a few different reasons to justify their choice. This topic can be very controversial as many people say women deserve to make a real choice, not one that is imposed by religions or an officeholder. Statistically, the top three reasons women have abortions are because they feel the pregnancy or the baby will have a negative impact on their life, possible financial instability, and relationship problems (Lowen, Linda).

A report on behalf of Abortion Rights has been filed against the country of Northern Ireland regarding their current laws on abortion. Abortion Rights is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) as well as a national pro-choice campaign to defend the rights of women and their access to safe, legal abortions. Abortion laws in Northern Ireland have long been considered draconian and thus creating dangerous situations for women. Currently in Northern Ireland, it is illegal to receive an abortion unless the woman faces serious health risks. This is a situation which rarely ever occurs, as the majority of women who fit the criteria are turned down. Each year, more than 1000 women travel from Northern Ireland to other parts of the United Kingdom to receive abortions and pay anywhere from $2000-4000. This means that women who are impregnated due to situations of rape and incest, women with serious fetal abnormalities or even fetal death as well as women who face health risks by carrying out a pregnancy can’t receive an abortion anywhere in their country. The selected central question for this investigation was, “when one set of rights infringes upon another, how should we decide whose rights and which should take priority? Should freedom of expression be limited in certain cases?” And the modification of that question to further specify in this case was, “should the rights of an unborn fetus be prioritized over the rights of the woman carrying it?” The long standing ban on

This case study involves Ann Jones, who was diagnosed 5 years ago as a chronic paranoid schizophrenic. She currently spends most of her time institutionalized as she has shown to be incapable of living independently. Recently, Ann was found to be pregnant and it is unclear how she became pregnant. Ann wants to keep the baby, but Ann's psychiatrist declares she is incompetent to raise a child. The physical and mental conditions of the baby are at risk due to some medications Ann took prior that increase the probability of birth defects. The pregnancy period is also a concern for Ann's mother, who believes the regular check-ups, as well as the labor and delivery process, will make Ann's condition worse.
