How Does Abortion Affect Our Culture

Abortion can have several effects on the society. Some may be noticeable, and others less. Abortion increases the amount of unintended pregnancies and deaths, and can affect the economy due to low birth rates (Dailard, 2001). Legalizing abortion reduces the consequences of having a child which increases the amount of sexual activity (Dailard, 2001). This results in the large number of children being conceived than there would have been if abortion wasn’t as available (Dailard, 2001). Some women who have unintended pregnancies will seek out an abortion regardless of its legal situation, even if it can put their lives in danger (Dailard 2001). In many countries where abortion is illegal, women tend to get abortions at a very high rate (Dailard, 2001). It is estimated there are around six-hundred-thousand pregnancy related deaths, and out of those, there were seventy-eight-thousand that are caused by complications due to unsafe abortions (Dailard, 2001). As the death rates increase, the birthrates decrease. As shown in a study in New Zealand, in some developing countries, abortion is leading to lower birthrates (“Impact of Abortion on Society”). Those lower birthrates can lead to a decrease in sales (“Impact of Abortion on Society”). In the twenty-two years leading up to 1999, there were over two-hundred thousand abortions, which led to the fewer sales of children items (“Impact of Abortion on Society”). As abortion has not severely effected society

Abortion has been progressively restricted in many states across America, and this strong push is coming from believers. This act affects The United States in many ways; Amanda Marcotte from Alternet writes, “thanks to increasingly restrictive state and local laws and overzealous law enforcement, we are seeing a return to pre-Roe back-alley abortions and increasingly criminal treatment of women.” These restrictions, promoted by believers, infringe on women’s rights and contribute to danger of female health.

Abortion continues to make a profound impact on public policies and remains one of the most controversial debate of our time. Though abortion continues to be a debate, it was not always a problematic one. Abortion has been present throughout history dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Greek and Roman. Before abortion became a crime in the 19th century, abortion was a womans choice. “Before abortion became the object of law, it was a subject of everyday life” (Roe v Wade BOOK p. 11). From early civilizations to today, abortion was and may still serve as a form of birth control. It has been observed that through abortion those of upper class avoided “unwanted childbearing and the lower classes used it to limit family size when 1 or more child

The greatest destruction of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me. Abortion is causing many damages in the humanity. Many circumstances are causing it, and the dangers of it are being more consequent and consistent. Think about the right of the child before taking his life. To stop it we need to find solutions. Abortion is badly affecting the American society. Why not giving the child the right to taste his life?

The modern world today is brought together by many different cultures, beliefs, thoughts, opinions and morals. Which makes life difficult at times and causes people to not get along when differences can not be set aside. There are many issues and topics that are the root of these problems, which may never be solved and more than likely will never be solved based on characteristics of cultures and beliefs. Abortion is a very diverse topic in today’s society for which there may never be a correct answer to live up to everyone’s morals, but both sides present persuasive facts and opinions to justify their beliefs.

Believe it or not, women were not always entitled to abortion. Until 1973, when it became legalized, women would terminate their pregnancies through dangerous methods. Some included back alley abortions or at home procedures. Unfortunately, most of these ended in complete disaster, leaving women injured or needing medical attention. Since abortion was an unsafe option overall, it seems that women would stop fighting for the cause, but despite the potential peril they continued their fight. The idea that abortion creates emotional scars and is a risk to women's health, is what troubles many young adults considering it.

Abortion in United States of America is still one of the controversial issues and it is difficult to address even through the presidential campaign. Abortion was allowed almost in thirty states and legal only in special circumstances like pregnancies resulting from rape or incest in twenty states. Due to restriction laws unsafe abortion which is preventable, it still one of important causes of maternal morbidity and mortality.

Since 1973, abortion has been considered “legal” in the United States. But, just because abortion is legal, does that automatically justify it as moral? The Bible never clearly states “though shall not abort your children.” On the other hand, Exodus 20:13, states “though shall not murder.” Not only does Exodus speak of prohibiting murder, Genesis 9:3, states that “whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.” According to AbortionFacts.com, abortion became legalized in the United States in 1973; however, does declaring something “legal” grant the power to be morally sound as well (The Christian, n.d.)?

In the United States the abortion has become a big deal in American political landscape. Also is very sadly because is consider it moral issues rather than personal rights or civil liberties.

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics in contemporary society. People that are “Pro- Choice” agree that you should be able to have an abortion. People that are “Pro- Life” think it is wrong. Abortion should be legal in America because i is a woman's constitutional right to be in control of her body. . If you have a legal abortion, you reduce the chance of injury and death than if you have an illegal abortion.

Abortion has always been a controversial topic in the United States for decades. Abortion is like taking the life of someone without their permission so it is technically “murder”. There is no such thing as an unwanted child, millions of families in the United States are always willing to adopt. On the other hand, there are circumstances where a woman can barely care and sustain herself so chances are that she will not be able to take care of her child. Or when a rape occurs, having an abortion is not as bad as when a woman has sex without protection and knows she has the chance to get pregnant.

Abortion is an extremely divisive issue in America. People on both sides of the issue are very passionate. People who subscribe to the notion that abortion is murder and should not be legal in most cases or not at all, are called Pro Life. Whereas, those who believe that it is the woman’s right to make decisions about their own bodies, including abortion, without the consent of the government are called Pro Choice. Abortion is such a polarizing issue, that it always comes up during campaign season and in some races people win and lose elections because of their stances on abortion.

The abortion question raises a number of issues that form the core of the abortion debate. Opponents and supporters of abortions have been battling over this particular problem for decades and still cannot come to an agreement. Being one of the most common and most controversial medical procedures, abortion tends to affect people on psychological and sociological levels. But while the discussion of the morality of abortion is an ongoing debate, the social issues surrounding abortion in most cases stay unnoticed. The social aspect of the issue is centered on the abortion policy. The main question of the abortion policy is whether the law should permit abortions and, if so under what circumstances. The other is whether the law should put the life of an unborn child first and legally protect it. The peculiarity of the abortion policy is that its measures are highly dependent on different public opinions.

America is known as the land of freedom, opportunity, and equality, however many controversial issues, such as Edward Snowden leaking NSA files to the public and black lives matter, that have risen in its history prove that is not completely true. Abortion is one of the most controversial issues that has been around in America since the 19th century. Abortion was legal across the entire world until 1803 when Britain became the first place in the world to pass antiabortion laws. Following the establishment of these laws, individual states in the America started to ban abortion until the late 1800’s where abortion was made illegal in most states of the United States. The slow accumulation of abortion becoming illegal and a sin was due to “a trend of humanitarian reform,” (feminist.com) that was rising in the U.S.
