Is Abortion The Right Choice?

Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside of the uterus.

Abortions are conducted by women from all forms of life. The typical woman who terminates her pregnancy may either be young, poor, or

Abortion is known as ending pregnancy by removing the fetus before it survives outside the uterus. Also known as a miscarriage. Abortion is currently legal in the united states of America. However, individual states can limit the use of abortions which would make the abortions illegal.

     Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth. An abortion results in the death of the embryo or fetus and may be either spontaneous or induced. For years, abortion has been an extremely controversial subject. The history of abortion reaches back not just decades, but centuries, and even milleniums. Today, policies regarding legal abortion in the U.S. is being debated everywhere. Many myths and misconceptions confuse this issue. A better understanding of the history of abortion in America can help provide a context for an improved policy in the future.

The Oxford Dictionary defines abortion as the expulsion of a fetus, naturally or especially by medical induction, from the womb before it is able to survive independently, especially in the first 28 weeks of a human pregnancy. Today many argue whether abortion should be legal in the United States. Some show religious views while others show civic views. The basis of such a debate should be on medical information. It is evident that abortion is harmful to the mother. Although women feel relief after the operation, they do not perceive at least the physical consequences. The outcome of most abortions is graphic and painful.

Abortion refers to the termination of a pregnancy in one of two ways. One, the abortion pill (medically induced abortion) or two, surgical abortion depending on how far along the woman is. In 1973, a famous court case, Roe v. Wade legalized abortion across the nation and nullified the Texas state prohibition. The only time the state could intervene was after the first trimester, but during this time the woman had the right to privacy of her own body. After this staggering case, this controversial topic took off at full speed. What the court failed to address was whether human life started at birth, conception or somewhere in between. Splitting the nation into two sides, pro-life and pro-choice, the question if abortion should be legal or not still has not been answered. In defense of this ongoing argument, the pro-choice side is morally and socially correct.

Prior to 1970 abortions were illegal in the United States. It was then when the now popular Roe v. Wade case took place which saw the Supreme Court make any laws regarding the prevention of early-stage abortions unconstitutional. An abortion can be defined as an early termination of an unwanted pregnancy. As a topic of controversy there are many aspects of abortion that are constantly being debated. For example, moral and legal obligations, support from federal and state funding and the debate of whether there has been a decline in abortions since its legalization, are amongst the main issues surrounding this topic.

Abortion as we all know is a medical procedure used to terminate a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by death of the embryo or fetus. This topic has been diving the country for over many years; whether it’s a right choice or not, politics still seem to not find common ground. The controversy of Abortion begins in 1821; Connecticut passes the first law in the U.S barring abortions after “quickening”, which were

For decades, there has been a discourse over the topic of abortion. Debates have been centered on whether the process should be legal or banned. As of 2015, some states and the U.S. Congress are attempting to ban abortion. Abortion is the process of removing an embryo, thus, ending a pregnancy. Women should have the option for a legal, safe abortion. Abortion may be a questionable practice but it should be available for unprepared mothers to rape victims.

Melissa Ohden is an abortion survivor. Her mother tried to abort her as a child. By some miracle, Melissa conquered the procedure and prospers today to tell her story and encourage and embolden others. Melissa is a now a thriving 34 year old social worker and has assisted innumerable people. If her mother's procedure would have been successful, numerous people would not have received the immense honor of meeting Melissa. Melissa grew up with an affectionate adoptive family. She found out she was a failed abortion at 14 years old. She immediately wanted to reconcile with her biological parents, and is now in contact with both sides. If you were to ask any abortion survivor if they wished that the procedure would have been successful, the answer would be unanimous. Abortion is nefarious.

What is abortion? An abortion is a medical or surgical procedure used to terminate a pregnancy. A medical abortion is an abortion that is brought about by taking medications that will end a pregnancy.

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics in America today. Throughout history, many people have had violent confrontations and even lost their life over the matter of one’s opinion on abortion and weather or not they are pro-life or pro-choie. The fight between supporters of these two groups has been long and brutal, and is one that gained a large audience in 1973 with the Roe vs. Wade supreme court case. That same fight continues today and is one that will always be a controversial topic. This controversy is important because, despite what society may believe, abortion is neither right nor wrong. The topic of abortion in the United States is the matter of a personal opinion, and there is no one “right” belief to have because both

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. Everyone may or may not agree with abortion. Abortion has been ongoing for many centuries and throughout many different cultures. In 1803 Great Britain passed the first laws for anti-abortion. By 1880 abortions were mostly illegal in the United States unless it was to save the mother’s life. Present day abortion is perfectly legal. Before woman could pay for skilled, licensed doctors for an abortion they would go to other countries or to back-alleys to perform the cheapest easiest abortion. Many doctors in the United States rejected females who could not pay $1000 for abortion.

One of the most controversial issues today is whether or not abortion is a right for women to have, or a nicer label for premature killing. We all know the two sides of this issue, pro-life/pro-choice, and their beliefs are indicated by their names. Pro-life believes that all life is sacred, and that abortion should not be legal, labeling abortion as murder. Pro-choice believes that life begins at birth, and that abortion gives women more control over their bodies. Currently, abortion is legal up to the third trimester during pregnancy; however, if abortion is determined as murder, there will be emotional outbursts from both sides. Pro-life supporters would be ecstatic, being happy that the “unjust act” of abortion is once again illegal. While pro-choice supporters would be enraged with anger, stating that victims of rape and incest are not being protected, as well as women loses their right to their body. For such a dramatic shift of current law proceedings, abortion would have to become labeled as murder. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, murder is: “the crime of deliberately killing a person” (Murder). In order for abortion to be classified as murder, it needs to meet the following criterion: one human being is killing another, the killer is in their right mind before and during the killing, and is completely intentional and planned out; making it seem as if abortion really is murder after all.

Abortion is defined as “The removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end the pregnancy” (dictionary.com). However, if only the debate over the abortion issue was as easy as the definition listed above. However, similar to most things in life, a statement or opinion is never right nor wrong, but simply left open for clarification. Those who are against abortion believe that abortion is the murder of innocent human beings who aren’t given a chance at life and the ability to function as a normal individual. However, those who are for abortion believe that it is a women’s right to choose what she does to not only her baby but

Abortion; as defined by Merriam-Webster dictionary is, “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. This is the definition of abortion of which I will be reviewing its ethical status. After Roe vs Wade, the Supreme Court simultaneously decided that women have the right of privacy under the 14th amendment; making it acceptable to abort a pregnancy within the first trimester (Vaughn 119). The main argument on abortion is really a debate on human life, and whether it has value from the moment of conception. Each and every human life is composed of intrinsic value, and has the right to live. Killing an innocent human being is wrong, and fetuses are innocent human beings; making it morally wrong and impermissible to abort a fetus (Vaughn 143).
