Essay On Pro Life

I am pro-life. I always have and always will stand firm in my beliefs. I will especially remain firm in my belief that no innocent human being, especially unborn, should have to pay the consequences of someone else’s actions. Realizing that many others tend to disagree, I do not shove my opinions on abortion on anyone. However, being criticized for having the opinion that I do happens all the time and has only solidified my beliefs on this touchy subject of societal controversy. Growing tired of many endless conversations and arguments in my life, I interviewed a member of Planned Parenthood to get more insight on opposing opinions of mine.

When touching the subject of abortion, one must consider that there are two sides battling for control. That is right, abortion has literally turned into a war zone where even the unlikely of individuals do the unthinkable. Each side has their motives and methods for contradicting the other. For instance, there are cases and events that support both sides of this issue.

Otto von Bismarck once said, “Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.” The arduous process that a bill undergoes in order to become a law may seem grueling and pointless; however, the processes high caliber of difficulty allows for the extreme prestige and exclusivity of bills that are passed. Because the process is so exhausting, and filibusters, subsequently requiring a super-majority vote to pass a bill, have always been such a threat in Congress, historically, bills that attempt to reform sensitive issues have not fared well in the legislative branch. However, when Congress does pass controversial laws, it then also faces the task of effectively enforcing them. But, when the process is carried out to

Abortion is one of the most personal, widely discussed, and controversial topics in American culture today. In most cases, people on both sides of the argument take worthy and moral positions. Who can blame someone who wishes to prevent the termination of a teen pregnancy to save the life of an unborn child? On the other hand, who can blame anyone who advocates the soon-to-be mother's right to make such a personal, heartbreaking choice? No matter what she chooses to do, should anyone have the legal right to force her to bear an unwanted child? Most people in the US are pro-choice, and believe that abortion should be a legal, confidential decision that only a woman can make for herself. However, some are against the idea of

Thou shalt not kill; one-tenth of what may arguably be the most famous guidelines of morality in the western culture, and also the main driving force for pro-life advocates. The argument supporting their beliefs typically starts with the premises that a fetus is a person, and to destroy or to kill a person is unethical. Therefore abortion, the premeditated destruction of a human being, is murder, and consequently unethical. I deny the fact that the fetus, what I will refer to as an embryo up to 22 weeks old, has the right to live. The opposing argument is invalid because a fetus, although perhaps a part of human species, is not formally a person. This leaves it simply to be a part of the woman?s body, whose fate lies solely in the

Abortion divides many Americans, it is one of the many controversial issue in today’s society. There are two major viewpoints that receive the most attention. One point of view is pro-life which is the belief women should not abort a human life. On the other side, is pro-choice which is the belief women may decide whether to carry a baby to full term or abort it. Abortion is known as the act of removing a human embryo or fetus from the uterus of a pregnant woman prior to the completion of the full term of pregnancy. There are very strong opinions for and against this issue, but no one can deny the vast gray area of abortion. Not everyone falls into the specific camp of pro-life or pro-choice. Many Americans find a comfort level in the gray area where there are restrictions, but abortion is not illegal. 1 A person’s stance on the situation is often determined by how they view the fetus: a part of the mother’s body or as a human being.

Ellen Willis’s “Putting Women Back into the Abortion Debate” (2005) is an argument that supports women’s rights and feminism in terms of allowing all abortions to occur. She discusses abortion with the perspective that women’s rights are the issue, not human life. This argument is not accurate. Abortion is almost completely about the rights of every human being. People who are for abortion need to know a fertilized egg is just as important as someone already living, that an unborn child cannot control its need for someone to rely on for survival, and that they must accept the gender they were given without thinking it eliminates rights. Excluding rape and incest, abortion should not be allowed.

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. Since 1973 abortion has been an important controversial issue within the United States. 1973 marks the year that the famous Rowe versus Wade case was decided before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled that abortion be legal and available to all women. Legal abortions can be performed up until the sixteenth week of pregnancy, after sixteen weeks most doctors or clinics will not perform the procedure unless keeping the baby presents a medical risk to the mother. Even in these situations abortions are very risky after sixteen weeks.

“Abortion is the spontaneous or artificially induced expulsion of an embryo or fetus” (Abortion, 2002). An artificially induced abortion is the type referred to in the legal context. Abortions happen in different situations. The question comes when is it the right or wrong choice. The root question becomes the moment a fetus becomes a person and entitled to rights. The fetus could be a person at conception, during the pregnancy, or at birth. The deciding moment differs from the Pro-life group and Pro-choice group. After critically analyzing four different arguments about the pros and cons of abortion, one will be able to understand the ethical, moral, and

Careful attention to the truth has never been standard operating procedure for pro-abortion advocates. Therefore, it should not be any suprise that half-truths, and misrepresentations, and many outright lies have permeated the pro-abortion propaganda campaign. Pro-choice is just a phrase used by people who know the absurdity of legal abortions and infanticide. Pro-life advocates have a more simple and straight forward approach: Pro-life is not the opposite of pro-choice, but the opposite of pro-death.

An abortion is the termination of a human pregnancy that is followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. In 1973, Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision made abortion legal. Norma McCorvey otherwise known as “Jane Roe” was pregnant with her third child when she decided to go against the state of Texas where the law was that no woman could have an abortion unless they were raped. McCorvey won the case and abortion was legalized (Keneally). Today, 895,000 abortions have taken place in the United States. Today, it is one of the most popular debates in society. The debate is between the people that call themselves “Pro-Life” and “Pro-Choice.” Pro-Life supporters believe that once the baby is conceived it is human and an abortion is killing an innocent baby. Pro-Choice supporters believe that abortion should be legal without an influence of religion or others such as the government. Although both points are good arguments, abortion can be a harm to the fetus and the mother both physically and mentally.

Abortion rights are one of the most heatedly debates in society. There are many arguments for and against abortion. Each woman has the right to an abortion and the right to have a child. Women have the resources, rights, and respect to make reproductive health decisions that are best for themselves. (“Women’s”) We live in a free country and women should continue to have the choice to do whatever with their body, concerning women’s rights, health issues, and religious reasons.

Abortion is a very sensitive topic to majority of the population, and some people do not know enough about abortion to make a rational or intellectual decision. People mainly either have a strong opinion or no opinion at all. The pro-life community typically consists of someone from a religious affiliation, or of the republican party, while the pro-choice community is the democratic party and people that need medical assistance through medicaid. An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy most common in the first trimester (23 weeks.) The choice of whether to abort or not id never easy, but its the choice for yourself and what you know is right for the child growing within you The argument at hand is either pro-choice or pro-life. You

Abortion stirs up a debate when questioned whether or not it should be legal. It is proven by law that a women's right to abort a child is a "Fundamental right". This right was decided in the famous landmark case Roe V. Wade which remains the law of the land. People who are con abortion believe that the baby is still a human being and it has a fundamental right to life so therefore abortion should not be allowed. Many resources states abortion is the killing of another human being. While others believe abortion helps the lives of young parents in today's society. "Those who oppose abortion generally believe that human life begins at the moment of conception, when a sperm fertilized an egg." Some would disagree and say that only when the baby is developed is when it is considered taking a life. It is said that abortion helps women effected by sexual assault or incest.Woman who have been sexually assaulted turn to abortion to help them forget about the attack. Without abortion victims would have to look at the child created and re live the moments of the attack. So if a female is raped and doesn't want to have the baby they usually see abortion as the only option. It is also said that abortion may cause medical, as well as, psychological problems later on in life. There are many different options other then abortion for example, adoption. Instead of aborting an innocent life you can put the baby up for adoption so that when the baby is born it is given proper care. Adoption is
