Justin's Abortion: A Short Story Of Adoption

§1 Introduction In §2, I will introduce Judith Jarvis Thomson's argument that abortion is all right even when the fetus is considered a person. In §3, I will object to her argument about the matter. In §4, I will give an explanation of a response Thomson could have concerning my objection to her argument. In §5, I will explain how my objection succeeds by having support from another stance.

Ramsha Javed Professor Pemberton HIST 378 14 December 2016 Rough Draft Intro. For around $400 and a referral from a well-respected doctor, Dr. George Loutrell Timanus performed abortions from the 1920s until 1951 (Reagan 1997, 158). Dr. Timanus, like many private practice physicians in his specialty performed abortions for women who came to him with varying reasons such as “poverty, excessive childbearing, and illegitimacy” (Reagan 1997, 158). Despite the general disapproval of abortions, Dr. Timanus practiced out in the open and was available for those who needed him. Dr. Timanus’ execution of these operations showed that though abortions were illegal at the time, there were many doctors who were sympathetic with different maternal cases. His decision to do what he thought was morally correct over the few decades is significant because it shows a change in attitude towards abortions in comparison with that of the early twentieth century. However, in 1951 Dr. Timanus’ office was raided and he, along with those who worked with and for him, was arrested for illegally performing abortions. In the beginning of the 1950s, people started to question whether or not abortions should be legal, thus why Dr. Timanus believed that he was doing nothing wrong and was well within his rights as a physician. Despite the fact that there were people and doctors who had similar beliefs as he did, not one of Dr. Timanus’ colleagues came to his defense as he was trialed for his crimes (Reagan

`Have you ever wondered what it is like to be in or a part of the adoption process? Most people have different opinions on the whole system. Many think that the process is easy and they don’t actually know what most children go through. If more people understood the problems they face then child welfare wouldn’t be so difficult. Children come from broken or abusive households where treatment is horrible or to the point where they just remove the children.

This surgeries were done with the purpose of stopping the tumor. However, she later found out that the tumor was not curable and that it will eventually continue to develop giving her a prognosis of 6 months to live.

The surgery was scheduled for the next day as long as the bloodwork came back fine. Well, nothing in life is ever one hundred percent planned, and sometimes life throws you, or in this case Checkers a curve ball. Her blood work came back as being anemic, and with signs of possible cushings. Not good. Surgery was postponed one week and we are hoping the new blood work in a week will be better and that the tourniquet made of sutures holds.

Betty Ford      Betty Ford was born on April 8, 1918 in Chicago. She lived in Denver and Chicago and then moved to Grand Rapids when she was 2 years old. Her father was William S. Bloomer who working for the Royal Rubber Company and traveled, trying to get companies to buy their products.

Did you know that abortion is common for around 1 of every 3 women in the United States (Camosy 17)? Abortion became a bigger problem in The United States in 1973 when it was made legal. Roe v. Wade was a case in Texas where a woman named Norma McCorvey wanted to have an abortion. She filed a lawsuit on behalf of herself and every other pregnant woman saying that it is an “invasion of privacy”(Roe v. Wade, The Free Dictionary). In 1973, the Supreme Court had ruled that the Texas law was unlawful. They allowed abortion to be legal, but it was too late because she had already had her child two years beforehand (Roe v. Wade, The Free Dictionary). Since Roe v. Wade, there have been around 55 million abortions. Twenty-one percent of pregnancies

A Couple days Later…. “Okay so are we doing the surgery,” the doctor asked in his white doctor coat.

“He… was… shot….in….the…thigh. Cut…over…right…eye,” she managed before the attack took over. “Take it easy. You‘re safe. You are safe,” Jason said in his calming voice. Her hyperventilation slowed down with his words. His arms tightened around her.

Her doctor wanted her to do a spinal As the doctors and nurses were getting her for the big surgery the next day, my sister came back with nothing wrong with her own blood cells. it was a miracle. She was walking, singing and we were like, “Erica, are u feeling okay?” She said, “Yeah, I'm in no pain; I feel just fine!” Her doctor checked her blood cells and her vital signs. Everything was great. Her doctors from Dells Children said it was a miracle to see her back on her feet. Even though she was off her chemo, she still has to keep checking in every year to make sure she is doing

Adoption, the Moral Alternative to Abortion It was only three days after being born that I was flown to my new family in Illinois. If I had not been for a one woman’s unselfish decision, I would not be writing the words on this page right now. Abortion is an ethically wrong decision and option for a parent. It is illegal to take the life of another human being; by choosing to have an abortion, legally a parent is not willingly killing a human life. However, this choice is still seen as a murder to most people. Women should be forced to place their children up for adoption instead of a choice have an abortion.
