Persuasive Essay On Abortion

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

Abortions were widely practiced before the 1800s by which most states had banned abortions unless it was to save a woman’s life. However, starting in the year of 1973 they started legalizing abortions which caused a lot of debate throughout the United States, whether abortions were constitutional or not. Since then, abortions are one of the many things that everyone has a different opinion on.

As of 1973, the right for a woman to choose to have an abortion or not has been legal, due to the outcome of Roe vs. Wade. The nature of this right, and the disagreement behind its approval, led to states having the right to add restrictions. Marshall Medoff notes there are 13 different restrictions states use, which include, post viability bans, spousal consent or notification, insurance restrictions, counseling bans, partial-birth abortion ban, Second trimester hospitalization, 12 week abortion ban, Medicaid funding restrictions, waiting periods, informed consent, two-visit laws, targeted regulation of abortion providers (TRAP) laws, and parental involvement laws” (161-162). These restrictions, put in place to deter women from getting abortions, make abortions and after care cost more, make physicians inaccessible, and make women have a limited period in which to have

The suction then tears the baby’s body into pieces, the placenta is cut and everything is sucked into a bottle. The third way is, Dilation and Curettage, this type is kind of similar to Suction-Aspiration, and the only things that are different are that the doctors use a looped-shaped knife. The baby and the placenta are cut into pieces and then scrapped into a basin. Usually bleeding occurs really heavy in this type of abortion for a few months. The next type is Dilation and Evacuation, this type is usually done after the third month of the pregnancy. The cervix must be dilated for the abortion; this is usually done with a laminar stick. A pliers-like instrument is then inserted through the cervix into the uterus, the abortionist then seizes a leg, arm or other part of the baby with a twisting motion, tears the limb from the baby’s body, this continues until all is gone except for the head, then the skull is crushed and pulled out. The Fifth type of abortion is Prostaglandin abortion; this is where, Prostaglandin the hormone that induces labor, is injected into the female. The baby usually dies from the trauma of the delivery but if not, they watch the baby on the ultra sound machine; then they shoot the hormone into the unborn baby’s heart. The last type is Dilation and Extraction, this type of an abortion is used on mid to late term babies, four to nine months, an

Poor, illegal, and having just become a teenage parent four years prior, my mother faced a difficult decision to make. Should she continue struggling through life as a single parent of two children or walk down to the local abortion clinic and make life a little easier for herself? Having had the fear of the Almighty One instilled in her from a very young age and taught the importance of every life, my mother made a choice that lead to my birth. Just like my mother, many women--both young and old--face very difficult decisions to make when a pregnancy occurs. “Will I have enough money to support a child?” “What if the baby has developmental issues?” “How can I have a baby that came from being raped?” These are all questions and circumstances that trouble many women in the U.S. and has lead to the controversial topic of the legality of abortion in our country. Based on my own personal beliefs and values, I believe that abortions should not be legal but, at the same time, no one should govern what a person decides to do with their body.

(2) Incomplete abortion, one in which the fetus is expelled[…]dilation may be required to empty the uterus.

In this paper I will be arguing about the topic that the government is intervening too much with abortion and it is the woman 's choice. In my opinion, I think that it is the woman 's choice to have an abortion if she chooses. In addition to that I don 't believe that a woman should just keep having abortions over and over again because after the first time they should think of preventing it better with birth control or just not having intercourse. After the first abortion, I think that it should be slightly harder to get another one unless there is good reasoning such as rape or they wouldn 't be able to physically go through giving birth.

When a woman gives birth, they are choosing to take the many unbelievable and unpredictable paths in their future, but if they choose to end the life inside, they only reveal a brief and quicker path to a broken life. The controversial topic about abortion has been talked about for generations and it’s time to set a limit-20 weeks. Scientific evidence shows After 20 weeks, the fetus begins to take shape of a life form and can at this point feel pain. An unborn baby should have the opportunity to take their first breath. Abortions are not only stopping a human’s chance to make a new influence on the world, but it’s also increasing the chance that the mother could develop mental and emotional effects.

As we all know that abortion has become a very common practice in today’s world. According to CDC, there has been 219 abortion average reported on 1000 live birth ("CDC - Data and Statistics - Reproductive Health," n.d.). Those abortions were legally induced.

As we get older it isn’t uncommon for woman to get pregnant, but with that you also hear about abortions more frequently. To me woman shouldn’t have an abortion unless it is for a medical reason. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2014 there were 652,639 cases of legal abortions in the United States. if you really put it into perspective out of 1,000 women 21.1 of them have had an abortion. To many people that may seem like not a high number but to me I think about lives that could be here on earth if the baby wasn’t taken for a reason such as the mother’s life is endangered, or the mother had been rapped. What I don’t exactly stand for is when they have abortions because they can’t afford the baby, the parents are just teenagers, or simply just because they don’t want to have a baby. As all three of those difficulties could be solved with getting help from the government, help from a school and counselor on how to budget money, family members could help, or even as a last option putting your baby up for adoption. Taking the life of a baby for a non-medical reason is not okay because there are plenty of other options.

The dead baby is then taken out. If this isn’t considered murder than I don’t know what is. Instillation abortions are the injection of drugs or chemicals through the abdomen or cervix into the amniotic sac to kill the unborn child causing expulsion from the uterus. The most common drugs that are used for this procedure are hypertonic saline, urea and prostaglandins. This abortion procedure is used after the mother is over sixteen weeks pregnant. Once the baby is dead the mother will deliver about thirty- five hours later. In some cases the baby is even delivered alive with severe burns. All these abortion methods state that they “kill” the unborn child, and when you kill you murder. (Downs, 2013)

“No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother” (Sanger). With the ability to choose what happens to a woman’s body, a woman is no longer viewed simply as a carrier of the baby, but rather a human whose opinion is valued. The freedom of choice is overlooked when not given the ability to receive an abortion. The mother of a baby does not only consider what is best for her, but also what is best for the infant in the long run. Though the public tends to shame women who receive an abortion, the decision to have an abortion should not be an issue. If a woman surrenders her options, her succumb to society can diminish her liberty to have control her own body, inhibit her family’s ability
