Is Abortion Ethical

Abortion has taken the lives of more than 50 million babies since 1973 (“About Abortion”). The issue of abortion is one of the most common controversial issues in American politics and culture. In modern society, many women that have an unintended pregnancy and they result to abortion without researching other options. Abortion is not a substitute for birth control and this issue should be taken seriously. The individual woman needs to understand that by agreeing to have an abortion she is agreeing to kill an innocent fetus. Abortion rips the unborn child from his or hers right to life. Society needs to let women see through the eyes of the fetus and find alternative ways to raise the baby. Abortion should be

In the US abortion has been the biggest controversy. In our society abortion occurs every second of the day, thus in return it divide Americans’ view on abortion. What is abortion? The term abortion means termination of a human pregnancy. Gallup issued article states that US is still split on abortion: 47% of adults describing their view as “Pro-Choice” and 46% describing their view as “Pro-Life”. Pro-Choice support that it’s the women and her doctor’s decision when it comes to abortion. Pro-Life believe that abortion should be illegal. I believe abortion should be banned except for certain conditions such as rape, incest, and situations where the woman’s health is in jeopardy.

The sound of a tiny heartbeat fills the room. There is so much tension in the air. In the year 2012 there were 699,202 reported abortions that occurred in America. An abortion is “the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy” (Abortion). This is a very sensitive and controversial topic for most of the population in the United States. Some people believe that abortion is a woman’s choice and she has the right to choose, because it is her body. However, an abundant amount of Americans see a different side of this controversial topic. They view it is as murder. They believe life starts at conception so the unborn babies are humans with a right to live.

Induced abortion is the deliberate ending of a pregnancy before the fetus is viable or capable of surviving outside a female’s body. Abortion has been practiced in every culture since the beginning of civilization” (Kaplan, Tischauser & Chara, 2015). Abortion is one of many controversial issues. It is a topic that is widely debated among many people. Abortion is a difficult topic of discussion, when the baby is a product or rape, or has Down syndrome or deformities. According to my Christian worldview, I will examine the abortion ethical dilemma, and compare it to other options of resolving the dilemma.

An 18 year old girl gets pregnant and can’t decide whether to keep the baby or have an abortion. Her parents are very religious and do not believe in sex before marriage therefore would not take to kindly to their daughter being pregnant.

There are many ethical dilemmas in the world today such as euthanasia, performance enhancing drugs, pornography, abortion and more. Someone’s worldview is often a big contributor in the decisions they make in regards to the dilemma. Abortion is one of today’s most contested ethical dilemmas (Beattie, 2011). Susan is a mother that is debating whether she should have an abortion or not. Her ethical dilemma case will be analyzed and compared from a Christian worldview perspective and other worldly perspectives.

An ethical debate that I have seen play out over the years is abortion. Abortion is the removal of a fertilized egg from the uterus. This falls under issues with religion and womens rights. There are many different debates and point of views people have on this issue. Some agree with this, others do not. I personally agree with abortion. Abortion should be a woman's choice to carry out with or not. Personally I have never had one and wouldn't consider one for myself, but I do know people who have had one. I don't think any less of them. I think that it is a painful decision to make, as well as a responsible one to make. With that being said, abortions should not be treated like birth control."The availability of effective contraceptives, along with medically safe, legally sanctioned abortion as a backup, has allowed sexually active heterosexual women and their partners

What determines what is ethical and what is not? Can someone determine what is right simply relying on what they feel? Or does something drive them to know what is wrong or right? In the case of abortion, one would may ask: Is the fetus a person? At what stage in its development does, it becomes a person? Does any women have the right to decide if she is going to carry the baby to term or not? (Boyle, 2004) This paper will identify the ethical dilemma of abortion, core beliefs of abortion, and possible resolutions, through the eyes of the Christian worldview, and how other worldview may react to 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 one of the most polarizing topics in America today. Those who are against it are utterly abhorred by it, while those who support it feel it is an untouchable right that they are owed. Whichever side of the argument that you take, abortion is a relevant topic and I think that it will be brought even more into the spotlight in the next few years. As there are more and more stories of young women dying during illegal procedures, the government will eventually have to step in and make a decision. I hope that when that time comes, the law-makers take into consideration the rights that women are granted by the constitution. The freedom to do what we wish with our bodies is a fundamental right afforded to all Americans, and to take away

Astoundingly, the United States abortion rate is among the highest of developed countries, approximately 51 percent are performed on women less than 25 years of age. The highest rate of abortions is women between 20 and 24 years old. Abortion is an issue that some people do not take seriously, they do not know the consequences of how it can harm a fetus, and possibly themselves as well. Illegal abortions are more concerning than legal ones, because they are not performed by professionals, which can lead to further complications with the woman. More regulation is needed to help reduce the amount of abortions. Without regulation it leads to horrible decisions that cannot be taken back. Women have a right to make decisions with their own body,

About 56 million women worldwide are estimated to have an induced abortion each year Contrary to popular belief, regions with restrictive abortion laws do not have lower abortion rates than those with liberal law but women in restrictive settings are more likely to experience morbidity and mortality stemming from unsafe abortion The Ethical Dilemma I chose is Abortion there are a lot of people going through ethical dilemmas each day for me this one is close to my heart because I had to go through the same thing almost when I was only 15 I found out I was pregnant with my son and I was told when he is born he will have heart problems and I was also told that I was too young to have him and my aunt keep telling my mother that I was not smart ought to understand how to take care of a child in the case study I chose she had to make a tough decide when she found out she was pregnant with a child with down syndrome though a blood test and her doctor told her she should have an abortion but she felt unconformable about having an abortion so She seeks some

Whilst it has been touched upon earlier, the ethical debate surrounding the status of embryos and fetuses is vast and complicated. A focal point of the ethical debate is the moral status of abortion as well as whether and on what basis it should be available to the public; it is through this topic that the ethical debate shall be considered.

Abortions have been an issue in this country for many years. Some people agree That abortion should be illegal while others disagree and say that abortions should be legal. The three branches of government have been called upon to address the issue.

Introduction: In this paper, I will argue that, in some cases, abortion is morally acceptable. To support my argument, which consists of two premises and a conclusion, I will provide an explanation of how my argument follows the rules of a good argument. Also, I will give some objections to my first and second premise. Lastly, I will conclude with my thoughts that contributed to the argument.
