Examples Of Social Injustice Of Abortion

Abortion has been around since the earliest times. The first recorded abortion recipe dates back to 2600 B.C. (“History of Abortion”). Ancient societies supported abortion

Abortion has been around for thousands of years and was legal in the United States since the very beginning. First it became illegal throughout the 1880’s up until 1973. Although abortion was

Abortion is one of the most talked about topics in teenage pregnancies. When researching abortion, you find many different view points and ideas to the situation. Some of the more obvious view points are those that are well known such as pro-life and Pro-Choice. Although people have abortions they don’t understand the side affects that come along with them.

Abortions have been around as long as people can remember. Abortions have been done safely and unsafely through out the years. In the women's history article author Jane Johnson Lewis stated in the late 1800s women healers in Western Europe and the United States done abortions and trained other women to do so without legal prohibitions. After came a turning point in 1973. In January 22nd of 1973 the Supreme Court

“After the first blush of sin comes it's indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, unmoral, and not quite unnecessary to that life which we have made.” (Thoreau, paragraph 14, line 20). Abortion is an injustice. It is the rationalized “removal” of a human life from existence, and it is wrong. Arguably reminiscent of the dreaded extermination camps of the second world war, deciding the death of millions has become a matter of routine for the world today. Abortion has ceased to be considered as wrong by many, and the majority would argue that it is instead quite necessary for their lifestyle. Several scenarios which argue their point include teen pregnancy, rape, and finding out the unborn child is mentally retarded.

One idea supported by the people or political party I generally oppose is that the women of the United States should not have the license to legal abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. Accordingly, this anti-abortion stance is customarily coupled with religious convictions. However, ordinary citizens and legislators should not be able to legally impose their religious views onto American women. I acknowledge the moral defense for the “pro-life” movement and the rights of the unborn child. However, women of the United States America have the right to be independent of religious and pious condemnation and to be unrestrained when choosing the services concerning their reproductive welfare. U.S. abortion laws ought not jeopardize the health

In his article, Pat Fox added that abortion was recorded in 1550 B.C.E in Egypt and in ancient China about 500 B.C.E. Herbal methods were more common and many of the traditional herbs are still used today, one is the plant called the Worn Fern its root is used to provoke abortion, (“Abortion in the Ancient and Premodern World”). As observed abortion is not a new practice, yet the right of women to seek abortion was not restricted until some years ago. Moving to the last century history in United States can be found this article, by Michael Stone, “Dr. David Grimes performed his first abortion in 1972 as a medical student at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine”, by that time abortion was approved only in cases like: rape, incest, physical or mental defect in the child, and threats to the health or life of the mother (“What It Was Like to Be an Abortion Provider in the U.S. Before Roe v. Wade”). Indeed, abortion should be practiced only in the circumstances listed above, because many women cause abortion only because is legal and just because they don’t want to conceive

The legislation addressing the social issue of abortion is a paramount interest to me because I am a pro-life supporter. I understand that as of 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade legalized abortion in all fifty states. Therefore, I’m not completely fighting against abortion but rather the pro-life versus pro-choice aspect of it. Although I’m pro-life, certain situations are necessary to get an abortion like rape, hazard to health of the mother or child and incest. Here in Georgia, the polls show that forty-three percent of voters are pro-life and the other fifty-seven percent were pro-choice because abortion is taken lightly across the nation. While reviewing your stance on abortion I observed that you voted yes to banning partial-birth abortion except to save mother’s life in October 2003, and rated 30% by NARAL, indicating a pro-life voting record in December 2003 (http://www.ontheissues.org/GA/Sanford_Bishop.htm). Based on where your stand with abortion, you should be able to understand my point of view. I believe this issue directly impacts the fetus because they are painfully terminated and will never get a chance to experience life.

Population control comes in many forms: cancer, famine, A.I.D.S, genocide, war and natural disasters, but never has one been so celebrated and socially accepted before abortion. Abortion has been practiced for hundreds of years and medical technology has advanced accordingly; providing a safer and much more sanitary procedure for the women receiving the operation, but the result remains the same for the defenseless child. Abortion continues to be one of the most debated and country dividing topics this nation has seen. In the recent past, there has been steady movement towards the governmental restrictions on abortion. The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 was one of the greatest victories in Congress related to this topic. The ban restricts an individual form of abortion (partial-birth abortion) past 24 weeks from conception (United States Congress). Even though this is a positive step in the right and moral direction, the act needs to be revised. It needs to have the allotted time reduced from 24 weeks to 20 weeks based on new medical research that fetuses can “feel pain” prior to 24 weeks. Abortion will never become completely illegal (that is just harsh reality), but the restrictions that govern abortions can be fine-tuned to incorporate a smaller and more humane window for abortions.

The earliest known abortion was in ca 1550 BCE and we know this from an ancient Egyptian medical text that was drawn and then later discovered. Around the time that the Constitution was established they were legal and common get, but then in the late 1800s laws began being passed that outlawed the act. All surgical procedures were highly dangerous and unhealthy with antiseptics being unknown at the time, so getting this done ended in death a lot of the time. Over time as science advanced they became

In society today, abortion takes place on a daily basis. Abortions have been a subject of medical, lawful, religious, and moral intrigue for a long time. As a legislative issue in the United States, abortion has been acknowledged and subsequently managed for many years. In the mid 1800s, every state that had developed at the time had also created some form of abortion law. To this day, 60% of abortion laws we face today were enacted in that period (Hardin, 1969). However, even before these restrictive laws were established, its effects on society and morals has been long recognized. Various denominations of Catholicism and Orthodox Judaism, for example, do not allow such procedures to take place, and deal out religious sanctions as a result. There has been debate on the issue by other growing denominations, with an expanding comprehension, on their part, of the personal and religious issues included, and the subsequent leadership of them assumed. Little research has been done, however, on a relationship between the amount of education and abortion. While education opportunities play a large factor in demographics within society, it may also play a large role in abortion decisions.

In ancient times the performance of abortions was a generalized method for birth control. After it was banned by some religions, but an illegal action until the nineteenth century was not considered. The abortion was banned to protect women from surgery, in those days, were very risky; the only situation in which I was allowed was in cases in which endangered the life of the mother.

In Learning Plan 5 I researched abortions. The case covered was Alberto R. Gonzales, Attorney General, v. Leroy Carhart, ET AL. The argument was that partial birth abortions are never medically necessary, pose health risks, and should be banned. The evidence was clear that partial-birth abortions were never medically necessary, and that safe alternative were always available such that no woman would be prevented from terminating her pregnancy The evidence before Congress was clear that partial-birth abortions were never medically necessary, and that safe alternatives were always available such that no woman would be prevented from terminating her pregnancy.
