I Disagree with Nietzsche, We Should Embrace Life, Not Destroy It

Access to emergency contraception has been heavily debated issue, because there has to be a balance between protecting healthcare providers’ religious and moral beliefs on one hand, and providing a uniform standard of care and maintaining patients’ rights on the other. This principle gives a significant approach to the analysis of ethical questions arising from the general obligation to preserve human life, and the limits of that obligation.

There are many common pregnancy alternatives, but most often the resulting decision is abortion because it is effortless. Abortion is endings a women’s pregnancy by removing or forcing a fetus or embryo from the mother’s womb before it is able to survive on its own. Not all abortions are purposely done some are spontaneous like when a women that has a miscarriage. Rather abortion is done purposely or naturally it is a worldwide complication as to it being wrong or right. Abortion is an ethical issue that will be analyzed according to a personal worldview and Christian worldview. Ethical thinking will be examined by value-based decisions that address abortion from the perspective of a Christian worldview and comparing it to a personal assumption by addressing ethical dilemma, core beliefs, resolution, evaluation, and comparison.

Most insurance in Iowa cover all types of birth control for women, but even without insurance the most expensive contraceptive pill is fifty dollars. Although birth control does alter the woman’s body in order to prevent conception, it is still less harmful than an abortion. Abortions can cause bleeding for up to thirty days. It also causes extreme cramping in the uterine area. Some women vomit violently for many days after receiving one, so not only is a life being taken, but the mother is also being harmed. By taking birth control, in an manner, the woman is taking a precautionary step to prevent pregnancy, but this decision only effects one person, the woman. The choice of life is never brought into question, if a life is never

There is a concern among many, that it is not the woman’s decision to terminate the life of their unborn child. Fetuses are advocated for because decision making is out of their control. One of the main arguments is that the unborn child will not have the opportunity to live the life it deserves and because of that, women that go through the process of abortion will regret their decision. This is understandable, because it is a difficult option to pursue, not health-wise, but emotionally a devastation for some. Along

In addition, abortion is a major topic in America. Some people believe it is a woman’s right to decide on whether or not they want the pregnancy, and some believe that no matter what the view is it is considered murder. However, by placing emergency contraceptives on the shelf, as Nucatola states, this will ultimately lower the abortion rate. Let’s face it, everyone is human and everyone makes mistake, if doctors and pharmacist are able to come up with a solution to end unwanted pregnancies without performing abortion, would people be for it or against it? Unfortunately, although a solution was found, emergency

What this choice is, is the choice to have a legal abortion. Everyday people fight to maintain legal abortion. One reason they fight is to protect women’s rights. Women’s rights are rights that promote a position of legal and social equality of women with men. Having a legal abortion is precisely promoting that. It is allowing women the right to being in charge of their own body just like men have the right to be in charge of theirs. While some may see this as a selfish and even barbaric choice, this choice is essential to women’s lives. It is not a matter of forcing an abortion onto women or saying that the choice of having an abortion is not a big deal because it is a colossally complex and painstaking matter. It is a matter of permitting the option to be there if necessary. It is allowing women to make the decision for themselves, to have a say in what they do with their body. For, in the end, it is their body, and it is their

Over several centuries and in different cultures, there is a rich history of women helping each other to abort. Until the late 1800s, women healers in Western Europe and the U.S. provided abortions and trained other women to do so, without legal prohibitions. There were many different ways they attempted to do this procedure; such as a pennyroyal tea, which according to Thorpe, is toxic at just five grams. They believed that jumping and kicking yourself in the buttocks would also make a women have a miscarriage. Sitting over a pot of hot onions, and using camel saliva, ants, and deer hair was also a popular way to have an abortion back then. In today’s society abortion has become a major social issue that will never be resolved. It is a topic that some people avoid in our society. They would rather pretend it does not excite than recognize it as part in our society. The two advocacy groups that stand firm in their moral beliefs are conservatives who stand for pro-life and liberals who stand for pro-choice. They do not take this issue lightly, there has been countless debates about whether it is murder or not. However, it always ends the same way with now solution. There are four major points to look at when discussing the issue of abortion, legal precedence, human rights, religion and when life beings. It is important to look at what functions do these point play in society and what conflicts it has in society.

The present-day discussion surrounding abortion has been framed, in most instances, as an issue of morality and the preservation of life. Opponents of abortion, often using religion to bolster their claims, assert that abortion is akin to infanticide and that it is not permissible, while those who support it argue that women should be given the autonomy to choose what should be done with their own bodies. This was not, however, always the case, and although religion undoubtedly plays a role in the shaping of the idea of abortion and contraception as a morally objectionable act, there are other less obvious factors at work; creating a role for women’s bodies and dictating the ways in which they can and cannot use them. The role of

A responsible woman takes birth control to ensure that she doesn’t get pregnant. What if the birth control methods that she uses fail? The pill fails, the condom fails, the cap fails, or the IUD fails. Fact is, contraceptive failure led to 1.6 to 2 million of the 3.3 million unwanted pregnancies in the United States in 1987 (Lunneborg, 2009). Many woman thought they were being responsible by using birth control. When pregnancy occurs through no fault of the woman abortion should be covered by insurance.

Nietzsche strongest argument was that, “Human nature is always driven by “the will to power””, but religion will tell one otherwise, saying that one should forbid their bad desires. Nietzsche is quite critical in particular towards Christianity since it was stated as the religion of slaves and pity by Nietzsche, caused by limiting one’s personal development since they were too obsessed with the treasures of the afterlife. Having said that, Nietzsche also referred to Buddhism as the nihilistic and the “desire for nothingness” religion, however he does praise certain aspects of the Buddhist teaching in comparison to Jesus’. Last but foremost, Nietzsche proves Socrates death to be at the hands of the acceptance of slave morality. For those who practice religion are guaranteed to fall as a slave rather than to become their own master due to all the restriction and standards set up by God. I simply do agree with Nietzsche due to all the evidence connecting back to each and every religion and philosophers. One must strive to reach and achieve their desire in order to be satisfied with one’s life. As people say, “no pain, no gain”, therefore one must live through all the suffering to accomplish greatness in their lives and make the most out of the given life. One can conclude, the practice of religion led many to the acceptance of slave

Nietzsche points out that morals were not given to humans by God, nor was knowledge or instinct instilled in us by God: we have created morality just as we have decided standards for "truth" and explanations for our "human nature," and so there is no transcendent external standard. If God is dead, there are no objective values and we are free to create our own values. Nietzsche says that although the death of God liberates us, leaving us free to rule ourselves, this results in a cage-like freedom: while no value is objectively "right" or "true", if we can not choose then we are not free. Nietzsche supports the individual who, despite a lack of objective correctness or "truth", makes a decision anyway, accepting responsibility for her self-created values and actions, knowing she is these actions.

As a result of Nietzsche's support for his argument, Christianity does reject life, for it rejects master morality. Christianity rejects life overall because it does not allow people to grow as a human and to expand humanity in its best interest. This is through the following instances that it promotes hatred of the earth, slave morality, an inferior lifestyle, and finally self-denial. From all of these examples Nietzsche provides, Christianity is not in humanity's best interest. Christianity does not care about one's capability to succeed and to evolve in life. However, a person does, in fact, have the potential to do so. Nietzsche strongly believes in this, and clearly, continues to state the endless possibilities man has to offer towards

I believe in the quality of life over the sanctity of life. So I found that as a contractarian, all three cases were morally permissible.

Abortion is a deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. There are series of legal, moral and ethical issues which may arise about abortion. Most arguments about abortion are often focused on political insinuations and the legal aspect of such actions. Some frequently asked questions’ regarding the issue is if the practice should be outlawed and regarded as murder or should women have the right to practice it. For example, prior to becoming pregnant, some women feel that they would be able to choose the abortion option without trouble. However, even with reasons why having an abortion would be the best option, some women feel that this decision would not be right for them. On the other hand, some women have a strong belief that abortion is unethical prior to becoming pregnant.

Nietzsche introduced an idea of philosophy that was more than simply a rational groundwork of existence or as the pursuit of an absolute truth. Instead, he suggested that philosophy is something to be respected as a personal interpretation of life and all its faculties (morality, existentialism etc.) and that was – for him - focused on life affirmation. Furthermore, this thinking implies that philosophy is not a be all and end all answer to life’s questions; rather, it is merely a
