Induced Abortion In The United States

Abortions should be illegal in the United States. Abortions have been occurring since the 1800`s. They were banned in the 1880’s except to save the life of the women. However, the Supreme Court ruled in 1973, in the case Roe vs Wade that abortion is legal in the first trimester. I disagree with this ruling because it is morally wrong. Secondly,every human being must be responsible for their actions. Lastly, there are many options available to prevent becoming a parent. We have to right to decide when we want to become a parent, but not if it involves terminating another human life.

Throughout the United States there has always been a big debate on whether or not abortion is ethically acceptable or not. Though many individuals see it as killing a child, many others can overlook that burden and see the consequences of having a child at that point in time. Individuals who are put in a pregnancy situation and have to look into all aspects of an abortion and the reasons for this procedure, while also realizing the biological development of the fetus, and the process of an abortion.

The issue of abortion is notoriously controversial. Since the Supreme Court’s 1992 ruling in Casey v. Planned Parenthood, states have enacted different restrictions on the procedure. These restrictions vary from state to state. Nineteen states currently have laws prohibiting partial-birth abortion, and forty-one states strictly prohibit abortions except in cases of life-endangerment. One particularly incendiary area of abortion law is that of public funding. However, as of this year there are only seventeen states that cover abortion procedures through public funding. In this paper we will discuss federal abortion legislation, while describing the laws and political ideologies of the following states: Texas, California, New

Since 1973, a total of 57,496,011 abortions have been reported to the Centers of Disease Control and that number keeps rising. This does not include the self-induced abortions or the abortions your body causes, also known as miscarriage. There are so many different procedures throughout the years. In the early years, many women did not seek help from licensed medical assistance. They attempted removal of the fetus with a coat-hanger also piercing of the fetus with a knitting needle, crochet hook, hat pin, bobby pin or similar device inserted into the uterus through the cervix. Many women also used douching methods linked to miscarriage to abort the baby such as Clorox bleach or lye which could also cause chemical burns. In the 1960s women also used Coca-Cola to send their bodies into aborting the fetus. The Induction abortion takes approximately three to four days to complete. On the first day, the young woman is given an ultrasound to determine the age of her baby. Then, the abortionist with the help of an ultrasound to guide them. The patient will then receive a lethal dose of the heart medication Digoxin, a generic drug, is injected into the baby’s heart or into the amniotic fluid directly through the woman’s abdomen or vaginally, the Digoxin will give the baby a fatal heart attack. Although the reason for killing the baby first is to avoid a live birth. After the drug is injected, the woman’s cervix is inserted with Laminaria sticks or tent, a thin tampon-like

For the better, since this those who have passed due to abortion-related situations have significantly decreased

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 should be illegal in the United States. Critics calm, “Rather than a complete ban on abortions reformers hoped to have laws made less strict, so that exceptions could be made.” (Constitution Book pg.37) The exceptions include: rape, incest, severe physical or mental defects in the fetus, health of the baby, and the health and danger of the mother’s life. This is called a therapeutic abortion, when an induced abortion is performed when the life or health of the mother would be endangered if the pregnancy were to continue. (Ebsco pg.1) What people do not know is that there are other options than killing your unborn child. Some people believe that life does not begin at conception. That is primarily based on what is believed in

The United States Government should illegalize abortion for many different reasons including, a potential life has ended before given a chance remains evidence enough for most people to understand why a person should never have a choice of whether a baby lives or dies. Studies also show that mothers who choose abortion have a higher health risk rate after the abortion and also have more psychological problems after the abortion as well. Not only is it proven that abortions cause pain to the mother of the baby but the Fetuses can feel pain during the abortion procedure as well. Another big reason most people believe abortions are not right is because, It is stated in the bible that a baby becomes a life

People tend to think that its no big deal to have an abortion and that they won’t hurt anybody…. Baby can hear you talk, feel you breathe and know your voice

Abortions should not be illegal because it’s the choice of the person who is carrying the fetus if they want to keep the fetus, and not someone else. Not everyone who gets pregnant is financially, mentally, stable or have the thought of having children. Other times, pregnancies can be an unfortunate surprise. Abortions should not be illegal because some woman get raped, some women can’t afford to have children, and most women are choosing to have an abortion than to give the baby up to adoption.

The World Health Organization, in their study on induced abortion worldwide, states, “Where abortion is permitted on broad legal grounds, it is generally safe, and where it is highly restricted, it is typically unsafe. In developing countries, relatively liberal abortion laws are associated with fewer negative health consequences from unsafe abortion than are highly restrictive laws” (Facts on Induced Abortion Worldwide, 2012, para. 18). The legalization of reproductive rights worldwide would be a game-changer for women’s health both mentally and physically. A non-profit Dutch organization, Women on Waves, fights for those rights, educates, and enables women in abortion-restrictive countries to receive a safe abortion. Women on Waves believes

There comes a time in a many young women’s life when they are faced with having a child of their own. They have two options, either they can have the child or they could abort the child. All people deserve a chance at life, so all kinds of abortion should be illegal. Abortion should be illegal because it goes against the bible, there are women who cannot have kids who would gladly love to have the child, and fetal heartbeat can be detected as early as four weeks gestation.

Individuals throughout the world have different aspects towards abortion. Some may argue that abortion should be outlawed and treated like the murder of a human being while others believe abortion should remain a legal choice to all women. The ones who are for abortion have argued that women have a moral right to decide what to do with their own bodies. On the other hand, the ones against abortion like myself have argued that the fetus is a human being from the moment of conception. Therefore, abortion is the moral killing of an innocent human being. Having an abortion is never the solution for unwanted pregnancies because it is not the fault of the innocent unborn child. Women put themselves at risk since abortion brings medical complications later on in life. The moral killing of a human being should overturn the decision made by the Supreme Court in the Roe v. Wade, whom created a law in which women had the right to abort a child at anytime even if it past the point of viability. Not only is an abortion the killing of a human being, but also it defies the word of God. Abortion is not the solution for unwanted pregnancies because it can cause medical complications, defies the word of God, and is the immoral killing of an innocent human being.

Abortion should be legally permitted only when the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother given that it is already illegal in some countries, rates are decreasing, and most pre-born children already have a heart beat before the procedure. Killing an unborn child is unjustified and ethically wrong. This is the action of removing a developing baby from the uterus before it can gain the ability to survive on its own. It violates a child’s right to live and can be substituted for by adoption.

To begin with, abortion should be illegal because it offends God. Jeremiah 1:5 says, “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” God calls the unborn even before birth. He knows what job a person is going to have, how they will act, and how many kids they will have. The Bible does not specifically say the word abortion, but it does say that it is wrong to murder a person. Murder is the unlawful taking of someone’s life. An unborn baby is a person and God calls the unborn, his children. Unborn children are innocent and should not be killed. God has a plan and a purpose for everyone’s life, so parents should not take away that opportunity. An unborn child is an innocent human being who does not deserve to
