The recent undercover video of Planned Parenthood workers discussing the sale of aborted fetus parts has opened up a series of important debates; the most important being the ethics of abortion itself. Abortion is a “war against the unborn” and should be illegal everywhere.
Even with medical advancements the procedure is still a very perilous procedure that can leave psychological and emotional trauma. Breast cancer, death, infection, frequent miscarriages, suicide, increase in placenta Previa, and ectopic pregnancies are commonplace. “Approximately twenty percent of women undergoing an abortion suffer from immediate minor complications, and 1/5th considered major complications” (J. Johnson afterabortion.org). “Another 60% of women said they experienced a sequel of suicidal thoughts, along with 28% actually attempting the suicide” (J. Johnson afterabortion.org) all due to feelings of regret and the act of despair. Many women after having an abortion can never even have a child again. Having an abortion can turn into a lifetime worth of burden.

When I was around eight years old my mom got pregnant with a baby boy, and it excited everyone, especially me. Almost five months into her pregnancy my parents began to argue a lot, and my mom thought my dad cheated. She decided to have an abortion without letting anyone in our family know. She just pretended she lost the baby, until several months later when the truth eventually came out. My mom’s decision affected our whole family leaving everyone with unanswered questions, hurt, and heartache. Even my mom to this day experiences challenges living with the fact that she took another life, which led to many months of depression, hurt, and
I decided on the topic of ethics . I chose this topic form many reasons but the main reason is that there are many companies that have problems in the department of ethics . When it comes to combining ethics with business many co panies fail in great proportions. There are those companies however that are very successful in finding that balance that is needed in order to keep a company in good ethical standing . This is an issue that we all need to think about and we all should be concerned with it. A company having problems concerning their ethics is company that will experience many ups and down as well as being dragged through the mud . It can become difficult for the consumers, management employees etc. Having to deal with an ethics problem can put a glitch in the
First, one of the many reasons abortion should be illegal in the United States is for the physical and emotional effects it has on women. One example, is the increased risk effect it can have on a later pregnancy. According to Dr. Roger Harms, “However, some research suggests a possible link between abortion and an increased risk of: Vaginal bleeding during early pregnancy, Preterm birth, Low birth weight, Placental problems, such as retained placenta” (Harms). Many people plan on having kids at some point in their lives, but by having an abortion, it could potentially harm future pregnancies. In addition, the mental side effects abortion can have on women is terribly underrated. The physiological effect of killing a baby can last any number of months and even a lifetime. The term Post
The “Planned Parenthood Federation of America” is a non profit organization, funded by the Federal Government, in which it provides reproductive/maternal health services among the United States as well as internationally, since 1952. In recent news developments, there have been rumors that Planned Parenthood practices “inhumane” procedures when aborting an unborn baby to harvest their organs and that a law should be passed to stop this. The supporters for Planned Parenthood claim that these claims are unfounded and believe that Planned Parenthood is a wonderful association that helps women and men all around the world. This issue has caused a series of debates that have been going on for years, but Planned Parenthood still lives on.
Planned Parenthood is a controversial topic sweeping the nation of America with political and moral issues. Every day one could come across a new article on it, stubble upon a news article in their local paper or even on their local news station. Planned Parenthood directly provides reproductive health services, is involved in teach young students about sexual education, contributes to research in reproductive technology, and interacts with legal and political efforts aimed at protecting and developing reproductive rights.
Abortion really today has been a very controversial issue in today’s society. An interesting claim within it is that abortion can be done safely through the use of medical abortion and although medical abortions can be safe and trustworthy as experts might say, there still are risks that women will have to face and eventually take after abortion. Major types of risks can be pelvic infections, blood clots in the uterus or maybe a torn cervix. These are just few out of many health problems caused from abortion.
“Nothing matters.” That quote attributed to Ambrose Bierce may be true in some cases. It may be true to those who do not value the funding of Planned Parenthood. But something does matter. And that is the funding of the healthcare resource Planned Parenthood. Many do not understand the vital role Planned Parenthood plays in the lives of up and coming parents. Planned Parenthood has been operating and serving those in need of care in the United States and overseas for more than 40 years (“Planned Parenthood Global”). Planned Parenthood has vowed in their mission statement:
Planned parenthood has been a topic of controversy the last couple of years, as people throughout the nation ask whether or not the healthcare organization should be defunded. When video footage was released in 2015 of “Planned Parenthood medical officials discussing the sale of fetal tissue to researchers,” it seemed likely that federal funds would be revoked as backlash from the public was noted (Welch). Although the nonprofit organization does offer the termination of unplanned pregnancies, the organization offers many more services to women and men, such as free birth control and yearly health checkups “backed by medical experts and more than 100 years of research in reproductive health” (Planned Parenthood). As many people struggle financially to provide for their families, Planned Parenthood’s services are a relief to those who otherwise would not be able to afford healthcare, which is why the organization should not be defunded.
There are many common pregnancy alternatives, but most often the resulting decision is abortion because it is effortless. Abortion is endings a women’s pregnancy by removing or forcing a fetus or embryo from the mother’s womb before it is able to survive on its own. Not all abortions are purposely done some are spontaneous like when a women that has a miscarriage. Rather abortion is done purposely or naturally it is a worldwide complication as to it being wrong or right. Abortion is an ethical issue that will be analyzed according to a personal worldview and Christian worldview. Ethical thinking will be examined by value-based decisions that address abortion from the perspective of a Christian worldview and comparing it to a personal assumption by addressing ethical dilemma, core beliefs, resolution, evaluation, and comparison.

Planned Parenthood has received much controversy that they harvest and sell fetal body parts. Many pro-life members, who believe abortions are wrong, filmed and altered videos of those who did and did not work at Planned Parenthood. In these videos pro-life members recorded and edit they discussed the services Planned Parenthood provides. In the article titled Dispelling
Another issue that could lead to a civil rights movement is with our new President Donald Trump and where he stands on abortion and the funding of Planned Parenthood. This brings up controversy because on the more right side, people’s argument is that you are essentially ending a human life with getting an abortion. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider and has more than 7 million pre-born babies that have died as a result of the mothers visiting. The argument for the left is that Planned Parenthood is the country’s leading provider of reproductive health care. If it stops receiving federal funding it could have millions of women, men, and young people from live-saving preventive care: cancer screenings, breast exams,
The procedure used for abortion is not only harmful to the baby obviously, but it can be dangerous for the mother both physically and mentally. Many of the risks of abortion include bleeding, infection, damage to organs, and sometimes even death but it is very rare (considering abortion). It is healthier for the woman to have birth than going through this dangerous procedure, and if the mother is not ready or does not want the baby, she can give it up for adoption. It is only fair to the baby to at least give it life to live with a family who adopts it than no life at all. After the abortion is over, women think that they are going to feel relieved to finally get this over with. For most women, this is not the case. After going through the procedure and seeing the baby get removed from their body, they almost always feel immediate regret. Seeing a dead baby the size of the palm of the doctor’s hand catches mothers off guard and traumatizes them and it should. Studies show that most women wish that they had known more about abortion before they got one (considering abortion). So, even though there are physical risks to abortion, the mental risks are the most harmful.
As usual, the deadline to fund the government is the end of September. It was the context brought about the introduction of the legislative action. The legislation addressed a problem because the government was shutdown one time in 2013 “that brought government operations across the country to a halt for 16 days”. By approving a short-term spending bill through December 9th, Congress averted a government shutdown, and allowing lawmakers to avoid a crisis and return home to campaign.
The responsibility and the well care of a child are often decisions people face when they find out about the announcement of pregnancy. Fear of growing up fast and the responsibility of a child are often not something people can handle. For millions of men and women across the country, they turn to Planned parenthood who not only deals with pregnancy but is also are resource in birth control, informative about sexual health, but STD testing, screenings (“Sexual Health Topic”). April 14th of 2017, President Trump has signed a law targeting to defund Planned parenthood ( Davis, Julie Hirschfeld). Planned Parenthood should be continued to be funded by the government as giving the safest service for a citizen's sexual health is critical. Planned parenthood can provide care towards low income backgrounds versus private health care provider. Plan parenthood is the nation's largest provider in teaching of sex education. A person should be able to decide their own decisions towards for what's best to their body, not the government.
Many women that choose to have an abortion do not realize that it is a dangerous surgery with serious side effects. These side effects are both physical and psychological. Having an abortion is unnatural and interrupts this function of the human body. “The women’s body naturally resists the abortion, causing physical and emotional problems” (“Who does Abortion Affect?”). Almost all of the women who had abortions feel that they have made the wrong decision. The women are not informed about the side effects of abortion. Many women that had abortions said their doctors gave “little or no information about the potential health risks
