Mary Ziegler Women's Rights On The Right Summary

Abortion should be illegal in the United States of America. Since abortion was made legal in 1973, almost 57 million babies have been murdered by abortion. At the rate of 2,900 babies aborted a day, or 1,058,500 a year, the death toll is averaging almost double the deaths caused by the “leading cause of death” in the U.S., heart disease. These are 57 million people, who could've grown up to cure cancer, or found a reliable and abundant clean source of energy. Also, women who have had abortions almost always are psychologically affected in some form or another. These affects include, but are not limited to; regret, anger, guilt, shame, sense of loneliness or isolation, anxiety and depression, and suicidal thoughts or feelings/actions. In fact,

In her report, Veronica Loveday writes about Women’s Rights Movement, during World War two, and many restrictions women faced. Women’s rights movement in the U.S. begun in the 1960s as a reaction to the decades of unfair social and civil inequities faced by women. Over the next thirty years, feminists campaigned for equality, such as equal pay, equal work , and abortion rights. Women finally gained the right to vote with the passage of the 19th amendment to the constitution in 1920.

Thesis Statement: Not only does abortion kill a human's life, but can also affect the mother health afterward, both mentally and physically

One of the most widely discussed issues within the topic of abortion is the mental health of the mother. Research by Guttmacher Advisory says “Based on the best scientific evidence currently available, there is no credible evidence that abortion, in and of itself, causes mental health problems for most women.”(2008). Guttmacher backs their claims with studies and research done by the American Psychological Association (APA). The APA states that many studies didn’t take into account how a woman’s mental health was before thinking about abortion. They also point out that any significant life event is stressful such as divorce or a death so one cannot say abortion

In the overarching state of humanity, few topics are as important to the long term societal standpoint as abortion. Even more important and contested is the controversial subject of whether or not a woman will endure long term psychological effects or disorders after said abortion. This subject has been highly debated, with valid points made by both sides. It is important that we all look into these repercussions, especially since approximately 33% of women will undergo an abortion by the time they reach forty-five years old. This often challenged subject has many aspects. The main ideas that I researched where whether or not having an abortion leads to a higher risk for mental health issues, whether or not “post-abortion syndrome” is a

Nearly 81% of women who receive abortions experience subsequent mental health problems according to a recently published study by The Royal College of Psychiatrists. The study demonstrates that the aftermath of an abortion can result in higher rates of anxiety, depression, various forms of substance abuse, and suicidal behavior. As a result of the study, it shows that women who have an abortion face almost double the risk of mental health problems as women who have their baby. This outcome is due to the fact that most women who are terminating pregnancies “may feel a greater sense of loss, anxiety and distress due to lack of support”, as summarized in the Guttmacher Institute, a non-profit reproductive health organization. In fact, a five-year study shows that 25% of

This article stood out to me because even though I do not believe in abortion, this article opened my eyes to why women do get abortions. I feel like women should get the last say in if she wants an abortion  or not because it is their body and even if the man wants to keep the child, it should be the woman's last say. I feel like no matter what the relationship is of the man and women having the child, it is the woman's body and the man just has to deal with her decision because it is not his body. This article talked about family and motherhood because the author says “I’m pro-abortion because I take motherhood seriously (#3)” and I do agree with the author about that because when the child is born, the mother should provide everything she can to keep the child happy and healthy. If the mother can not  provide a stable home for her child (whether the father is in the child's life or not), the baby should be born into a family that can take care of it. Then she talks about “I’m pro-abortion because well-timed pregnancies give children a healthier start in life (#2)” and that goes along with providing the child with things/food it needs. That also goes along with if the parents are ready/prepared for the child. If a mother can not provide for her child and the father may not what the child, then I understand why

In response, antiabortion advocates have popularized claims that abortion harms rather than helps women because they think that abortion would cause psychological and physical issues (Berkeley, A-234). The best known are the woman-protective arguments, such as those endorsed in Gonzales v. Carhart, that justify abortion restrictions on the basis of the physical or psychological harms supposedly caused by the procedure (Ibid). Although, the procedures might seem effective, they are harmful to women, leading to serious issues, which also includes financing for the

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment had a study that showed that women who had an unintentional pregnancy and could not get an abortion so they had to follow through faced a higher chance of having maternal depression. Also, there are studies done that showed a group of women both who were denied abortion and those who were allowed abortion. The women who could go through with the abortions helped happier after the procedure was done as well as it was the right decision. With the women who were denied the abortion, however, felt unhappy and did not feel relief. These women that didn't get the abortion are less happy and could face the maternal depression (postpartum depression) with taking the option away that raises the chance to mess with someone's mental health. Someone's mental health is not something people should have the right to pick and chose how they are affected by

Since abortions legalization in 1973, it has become a topic ensnared by controversies as groups debate abortions moral and ethical consequences. Most often the controversy over abortion comes down to a person’s moral stand point on the subject, however, most people are not apprised of the possible long and short term psychological effects of receiving an abortion. Multiple studies preformed over the years have endeavored to determine the extent abortion has on women’s mental health with vastly varying results. Articles written by Coleman and Fergusson surmise women who undergo an abortion operation are highly prone to experience some variety of psychological harm. Other researchers like the American Psychological Association (APA) task force

Unwanted children are an indirectly responsible for a huge number of family problems, such as child abuse, divorce, and poverty. Women between 15 and 19 account for at least 5 million abortions every year.In some cases, the child would be relying on a single mother while in high school, have a non-supportive family, and won’t have the financial resources to support a child. Which can be led into negative health and psychological consequences?

• What are the psychological effects of abortion on mental health of female teenagers and young

There are religious and emotional objections to abortion as well as the possibility of negative medical and mental consequences. Many are in favor of making abortion illegal because, they feel it is immoral. Others believe that government should not have a say so in such a personal matter. Are there any other factors that could possibly change the way people view abortion? The matter of abortions negatively affecting the women who have the procedure done is one that the world has been dealing with for some time now. Researchers have decided to explore the idea that women who have had an abortion could possibly be at a higher risk for developing and even intensifying mental health issues. Researchers use various measures to determine if or how having an abortion effects woman. Measures include factors such as women who request an abortion but have not yet gone through with it, women who have gone through with the procedure, and women who have lost a child due to abortions or other ways. The following literature explains these

In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century men had more rights than women because they were looked as the weaker sex of the two. A woman’s duties would be taking care of their families while also maintaining their homes, while the men on the other hand had the freedom to further their education and work in order to provide for their families. It wasn’t until a woman by the name of Mary Wollstonecraft argued for women to have better access in education and paid employment. She argued this could empower not only single women to support themselves, but also those who were married to be able to perform more efficiently as both wives and mothers. She believed that women should have the same rights as men have to be represented in government.
