Persuasive Essay On Abortion

Abortion is a very controversial topic in the world today, it deals with ending pregnancies in women. It became a highly debatable topic after the 2016 election, bringing in new laws to the states. As a result, planned parenthood has been a crucial factor on this topic. In fact, people are either for or against abortion, making them either pro-choice or pro-life. Abortion has its cons and pros for women who decide on getting an abortion. In Texas, abortion laws have changed, making it more difficult for women to undergo the procedure. That being the case, are the states trying to make it harder for women to get an abortion?

The vast majority of people in the United States support the rights of woman and men alike. This right makes them free to pursue dreams of happiness and freedom, to do as they choose as long as it does not infringe on the rights of other “humans.” That is honestly the root of the issue with abortion in this country; we firmly believe in the rights of humans, but we treat a fetus as if it was none human. Science has proven through deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that an unborn baby is indeed human, so if it is human then the only remaining question would be, “When is the fetus alive?” To find the answer, one must first start with the end in mind. This proposal will do just that, start at the end to explain the beginning and through a small amount of compromise, the abortion controversy will be solved with a common sense and responsible approach.

There is a threat going on right now against women’s rights that many people might not know about. Women need to take charge and not let another day of a pregnancy go by where there is not a choice available to end things that might have happened accidentally, so the life of the woman can stay happy, healthy, and moving towards a life that the woman desires. The threat that clearly needs brought to attention is one involving abortions. The government, and to clarify more specifically the House of Representatives, has begun to pass a bill that will limit the time frame that women can receive a safe abortion. This bill passed through the House already and is more correctly called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (Unites States).

In 1973 the supreme court case Roe vs. Wade made abortion legal. Abortion is one of the safest surgical procedures for women in the United States, with less than one percent of women having complications post procedure. People claim that abortions are inhumane and unethical but so is putting a fetus’s life that hasn’t been born yet before the mother. Although a lot of people are against abortion and claim it’s unconstitutional, the abortion bill is necessary for mothers because of irreversible birth defects, emotional wellness, and traumatic incidents.

Currently in the United States, abortion among many other topics is controversial and causes an uproaring due to the many divergent opinions. The argument behind abortion in America is that when a woman goes and follows through with the procedure, it is viewed as murder in the eyes of many. Religious groups tend to lean towards anti-abortion, and see abortion as a ‘sin’ due to their beliefs, which causes unavoidable debates.

Abortion has been a controversial subject for decades. For a small introduction into this topic, allow me to explain what an abortion is. In summery, an abortion is the voluntary terminiation of pregnancy typically within the first trimester, but can be performed in the second and third trimester. Currently, most abortions are performed by medicianal methods within the first trimester. Then with the second trimester there is a surgical method that is used. This being said, in the past abortions were done illegally in dark alley's with the use of coat hangers which put the mothers in great risk. Eventually there was a court case questioning the rightousness of abortion and whether it should be legailized or not. This case took place in 1973 and became known as Roe Vs. Wade, which is the most famous legal case of abortion to this day. I am currently Pro Choice and in my opinion, abortions should remain legal.

“And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?” a famous quote by Mother Teresa. Abortion is most definitely murder. If someone murders a pregnant woman and both her and the baby dies then it is considered a double homicide. This shows the unborn baby in the womb is legally classified as a life. Ronald Reagan said, “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.” I strongly believe this statement to be true. Many people don’t think twice about aborting a baby they just don’t want their lifestyle to be hindered so without really thinking about the pain and suffering that baby is going to go through they decide to end its life. In a short abortion documentary video Jim Boyd, a member of the Florida House of Representatives, asked Alisa LaPolt Snow from Planned Parenthood if a baby is born on a table as a result of a botched abortion what Planned Parenthood would want to happen to that child whom is struggling for life.

Should women have the right to choose abortion as a means of terminating a pregnancy, instead of carrying a fetus to full term? Since the US Supreme Court granted women the right to abortion in 1973, the general population has been divided among those that support (pro-choice) and those oppose (pro-life) the ruling. In 2013, 664,435 legal induced abortions were reported to the Centers for Disease Control.(Jatlaoui) By definition, abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Just as terminating the life of another human being is wrong and punishable by law, terminating the life of a fetus is likewise wrong, and should no longer be upheld as a legal method for ending the life of a human being.

A young woman has been sexually abused her whole life. As a child, her uncle molested her; as she got older, it got worse. Her father, a drunken individual, abused her mom and her. She was laying in bed sleeping, when suddenly her door flies open. She becomes aware that it is just her father, but then she feels someone climb on top of her, trying to grope her. Her father is so intoxicated that he believes his daughter is his wife. He then proceeds to rape her, as she began kicking, screaming, and begging him not to. He passes out and she runs away, but there is nowhere to go. She was just raped in her own home, by her father. A few weeks later, she discovers she is pregnant; this young woman is now carrying her father’s child. She felt

Abortions in Texas consist of ending a pregnancy of an unborn child before it can live out of the mother womb. However if the pregnancy ends not on purpose before the twenty four week mark then technically it would be considered a miscarriage. Though inducing the abortion on purpose has caused a lot of controversy over the past century. Deliberately putting people on one of two sides of this issues, of either being for it, which would be considered Pro Choice. Or in the other category of the Pro Life, at which considerably means it is individuals that are against abortion and often go based on religion to believe against it.

When the female egg is fertilized a human life begins. The choice to carry this human life in the womb full term or to terminate the pregnancy has become controversial. The deliberate ending of a pregnancy is known as an abortion. There are good and bad sides to abortions. Abortion is considered by some as murder, but others say otherwise. All three branches of our federal government have taken part in the discussion of whether abortion should be legalized or not.

Parental consent is currently required for a minor to receive an abortion because parents believe young adults are incapable of making such an important decision because they are not mature enough (Maradiegue 2). However, if a young adult is responsible enough to have safe sex, then they should be able to determine if they want an abortion. Parents do not have absolute veto over the young adults decision, but if the young adult wishes to go against their parent’s decision they must receive approval through a clear and convincing evidence, which allows the daughter to prove she is “mature or that the abortion is in her best interest prior to waiving the state’s parental involvement requirement” (“Parental Involvement”). A teenager should

child’s life, or even both lives are in danger so they choose the quickest and safest way to back out of that situation. I know abortions aren’t people’s first move, but it happens to be their best move for the moment.

To begin, there has always been a huge issue with the topic of abortion, why? Well, it’s a tough subject and can get extremely emotional and very defensive. Honestly, people just need to open up their eye’s and understand that it's murder and not just a choice. It is murder because two can create a blessing and the choice of aborting it, is more like a sacrifice for the reason a mother can’t carry a baby for nine months. Whether a person is a teen, young adult, or an adult and is in a horrible situation that believes they cannot proceed with the pregnancy, they should know there are other options. Teens aborting an unborn baby is not a choice and should be banned because it is wrong without parental consent, the rights of a child, and it’s murder.

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. We are in a world where abortion seems to be the right decision a teenager would choose, but do not know the consequences. Teen abortion should not be allowed because young girls do not understand abortion causes health risks and mental anxiety.
