The issue of abortion is a topic in which people have strongly contrasting views. I will examine both sides of the argument, specifically whether or not abortion should be illegal and then come to a conclusion.
It is claimed that when a baby is conceived, life is started. Taking that babies life is the same as taking another person’s life, which in this society, is viewed as wrong. So why is abortion different? Many women (who’s pregnancy is unplanned) discover they’re pregnant around 4/5 weeks into the pregnancy. At this point in your pregnancy, the foetus has developed a heart which only has one chamber rather than four, but the babies heart still beats at 100 beats per minute. Most abortions must be carried out before twenty-four weeks of pregnancy. At this stage, the babies brain has grown rapidly and their lungs are developed enough to help her survive, if she was born prematurely. This is the latest stage that a woman can have an abortion and at this point, the baby is a human being and would be able to survive if

(Statistics from https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8765248) Rape is never the victims fault so why should the women carry the child that was conceived against her will. Well, hypothetically let’s say that she delivers the child and a few years later she no longer wants the child because it brings back bad memories. Would she have the right to murder the child? No because he is a human and under Article 2: The Right to Life, no one can try to end your life, no matter the circumstances of your conception. This still applies to when the child is still inside their mother as they are a living being. Another argument that ‘Pro-Choice’ people make is that there isn’t enough land and resources for the growing population so abortion is in a way, population control. However, would you kill a born child because you thought there were too many for the planet? The answer is no, because taking a life is
The issue of abortion is very complex since it raises many issues. People not only have to consider the legal aspect of abortion, but also its medical, ethical, social, biological, and religious aspects, which are still widely debated. First of all, when considering abortion, it is imperative to make sure the mother is safe, which is why people advocate medical procedures over surgical procedures due to the former having less health risks. The drug mifepristone is highly effective and is commonly used to block the production of the hormone that is responsible for proper fetal development and is usually used up to sixty-three days after the beginning of the last menstrual period. In regards to ethical issues, there are the two extremes, the pro-life supporters and the pro-choice supporters, and the individuals with various moderate views justifying abortion depending on the status of the fetus, the rights of both the woman and the fetus,
The topic of abortion is one of the most controversial and sensitive for the society and myself. The debates and confrontations between two opposite groups of opinion are long and sometimes even brutal. Both sides have strong supporting arguments: pro-lifers base on moral principals, which is life before birth, while pro-choicers defend political and social rights, such as right to privacy and right of choice. Neither side can be absolutely right or wrong; basically it is a matter of personal opinion. Mine is that although the abortion is originally wrong, in many cases it must be a legal option.
Abortion is one of the most personal, widely discussed, and controversial topics in American culture today. In most cases, people on both sides of the argument take worthy and moral positions. Who can blame someone who wishes to prevent the termination of a teen pregnancy to save the life of an unborn child? On the other hand, who can blame anyone who advocates the soon-to-be mother's right to make such a personal, heartbreaking choice? No matter what she chooses to do, should anyone have the legal right to force her to bear an unwanted child? Most people in the US are pro-choice, and believe that abortion should be a legal, confidential decision that only a woman can make for herself. However, some are against the idea of
Abortion is the termination of the fetus within 28 weeks of becoming pregnant. There are two main viewpoints discussed throughout America on this topic which is pro-life or pro-choice. Pro-life is the encouragement of human life, of, the fetus, so anti-abortion. Pro-choice is a United States social political faction supporting the right that women should get to choose between aborting the child or not. Abortion is a controversial issue that countless individuals in the pro-life and pro-choice community have a powerful divergent opinion concerning the matter. Abortion is not morally ethical because it is the murder of an unborn fetus.
Abortion rights are one of the most heatedly debates in society. There are many arguments for and against abortion. Each woman has the right to an abortion and the right to have a child. Women have the resources, rights, and respect to make reproductive health decisions that are best for themselves. (“Women’s”) We live in a free country and women should continue to have the choice to do whatever with their body, concerning women’s rights, health issues, and religious reasons.
The topic of abortion is a hot subject among the people of America today. Some say yes, women should be able to have abortions no matter if the fetus is in the first trimester or well in to the second trimester of gestation. On the other hand the other people say that it is murder of a child no matter the stage of development. Many of the people that believe that the fertilized ovum is a human and has a soul at the conception are the pro-life people. They believe this because of their religious beliefs and cannot scientifically prove this in any way.
Abortion is the medical procedure when it is induced on purpose to extract the fetus from the uterus. When abortion occurs without purpose, it is usually referred to as miscarriage; such instance causes psychological problems in a woman and affects her perception of the fetus. The number of moral and ethical considerations on the problem of abortions can be considered from a variety of perspectives that include economic, medical, social, and religious aspects of the phenomenon. Many case studies are based on the need to make a choice, especially when talking about professional duties of doctors and such medical practices, as Hippocratic Oath. The controversy occurs every time some people cannot accept the right of the woman to have an
Abortion is a very controversial subject that has been continually argued over for the past few years and probably many years to come. The main controversy is should abortion be legalized? First before we get into the many sides of abortion we must first define abortion. Abortion is the destruction of the fetus or unborn child while the child is still in the mother’s womb. This can be done by almost anyone from the mother herself to back alley abortions and even to abortions specialized clinics set up for this purpose. There are two sides to this abortion topic the PRO-LIFE which is those who are against abortion altogether and the PRO- CHOICE or those who believe it is the woman’s right to choose if she wants to
Should a list of pros and cons of abortion really be necessary for Christians...or human beings for that matter? I mean, have we really reached a point where we cannot tell that abortion is murderous no matter how you color it or try to paint it as compassionate? Apparently so.
Marinelly Gonzalez Dr. Edwards Com 123 Cons of Abortion wrong and looked down upon by a lot of religions. Some women use abortion as a type of birth control. They sleep with men and do not use protection and think nothing of it to go to the clinic as many as five times in their life to have an abortion. A con against abortion is the nagging thought that a woman went to a clinic, had an abortion, and thus the world was prevented from seeing the birth of the only person capable of attaining a leadership role and initiating a peace accord between warring factions in the Middle East, thus preventing decades of strife and murder. A stable home life is not a guarantee of talent, and illegitimate children have shown themselves to be
Approximately 600000 abortions happen yearly according to centers for disease control and prevention. One of the most sensitive topics discussed not only in the presidential debate but also in newspapers and magazines around the world. With the two strong opposing viewpoints this controversy has been troubling for years and continues to concern the public for many years to come. With methods ranging from using a sharp vacuuming tool to dismember and remove the baby to poking a hole in the babies head and sucking the brain out. Abortions of these kinds should not be allowed!!
Abortion is a highly controversial topic that has been debated for years. There are two main categories that people generally fall into when discussing abortions. These categories are Pro-Choice and Pro-Life. I, myself fall into the Pro-Choice category. I believe that woman should be able to choose what is best for themselves, and should not have to jump religious and politic hurdles to do so. Many people that believe in Pro-Life, do so for religious reasons. I do not believe in the mixing of religion and politics. Throughout history it has been proven that whether abortions are legal or not they still happen. In allowing women to have legal abortions provided by medical doctors it helps to prevent serious medical complications that can
The Texas House Bill has passed strict regulations, requiring abortion clinics to have ambulatory surgical centers and a hospital within 30 miles of the abortion clinic. The only time a woman will go through a surgical abortion is if she is in her second trimester, or if she decides to go through the procedure which 7% of women choose. Since most of the abortion clinics in Texas do not provide surgical ambulatory centers, only 10 clinics remain with the female population of 12,673,281 according to suburban stats. 89-92% of women who have abortions are in their first trimester. This entails that they do not have to go through the surgical procedure of abortion. But the Texas House Bill requires that all clinics must have these regulations. Since there are now only 10 abortion clinics in Texas, many women have the undue burden of
In humanity today exits a covenant that when fertilization converts to human life, that the human being must be secure. Currently many individuals, societies and religions have ardently held incompatible beliefs about when human life originates. Is a child a human life at labor or even before, fetus a human life at beginning? Nowadays, this battle goes hand in hand with that question of abortion.
Abortion is still to this day a widely debated issue. Individuals who are abortion advocates argue that abortion allows women to have control over their life and their physical body. Various women may have been placed in drastic situations that resulted in a pregnancy. They might not want the child that resulted from their circumstances. There are women that are too young to give birth and could die from the procedure. Individuals that are against abortion argue that human life matters. Everyone deserves a chance to live. If the pregnancy resulted due to negligence, they should take accountability for the new life they created.
