Pro Choice : The Ethical Answer

Numerous states are also passing an Ultrasound bill, adding a paragraph to the already existing Woman’s Right to Know legislature requiring the physician to offer the woman the chance to see her ultrasound before the abortion. Oddly, though this bill frequently receives bipartisan support, some who claim to be ‘pro-choice’ object to the ultrasound bill, maintaining that it “interferes with the doctor-patient relationship, legislating the private conversations that occur about a legal medical procedure.”13 However, many women have rejected this excuse, returning that they asked to see their abortion and were denied. These women often say that they would have kept their unborn child had they seen the ultrasound as requested.14 The Women’s Right to Know bill and its additional Ultrasound bill protect the rights of the women, frequently initiating a change of heart without directly prohibiting the

Most recently the “no taxpayer funding for abortion act”, has abortion advocates reeling (Maguire, A-14). Even though, abortion has been legal in every state in the United States since the monumental Supreme Court decision, “Roe v Wade”, on January 22, 1973, there are fewer physicians willing to perform abortions today than in 2008 (Kraft, 09). At the heart of the ethical dilemma for many in the medical profession is the viability of the fetus (USA TODAY). And just to make this whole dilemma more confusing, according to the United States Government, “The child in utero, at any stage of development in the womb”, is protected by the Unborn Victims Violence Act of 2004 (Unborn Victims of Violence Act, A-1). Medical professionals have the

Several states have made attempts to ban abortion, but most of them have failed. In this regard, the states have developed restrictive procedures

When talking about abortion, there are so many things that come to mind, it is hard to stay focused on what the issue is really about, but in the end it really all boils down to some of the most basic rights we as individuals living in this country start with from birth. “…That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety” (SparkNotes: The Declaration of Independence (1776))The practice of abortion goes back to ancient times, and to this day,

Abortion is a very touchy subject in America nowadays considering all the laws being passed that abortion should be illegal. There are obviously different sides to this. Many people believe that abortions are unethical. I'm not here to give you my argument or tell you which side I'm on, even though it will be really hard for me to not express my emotions. I am here to inform you on what an abortion is and the many factors people talk about while arguing about abortions.

People seek to force their moral beliefs onto others, grounded in their own religion or personal philosophy. Being pro-choice means you do not make claims on the morality of abortion. It is an individual choice for every woman faced with an unwanted pregnancy. The right to control your own reproductions is a fundamental right, and is protected both under our Constitution and basic human right ideals. Women themselves can decide when and if they get pregnant, give birth, and raise children. They have the right to prevent pregnancy, the right to get pregnant, the right to carry a pregnancy to term, and the right to terminate a pregnancy. A plan to keep women "in their place" is to attempt to limit their reproductive freedom. Which is nothing

Forcing a human to do something with their body that they do not want to do is against basic human rights. There are a plethora of reasons to have an abortion: rape, incest, and birth defects to name a few. There are some woman in the world that are able to raise a child after being raped, but not all woman have that strength. Not all woman can bare to be reminded of what happened to them every day for the rest of their lives. Pro-Life also argues the case of adoption. If a mother does not want her child, why doesn’t she simply give it up for adoption?

Although there are arguments from both sides against and in favor of abortion, I find there to be more sensible reasons and argument against abortion, supporting why having abortion is a wrong and evil act that should be illegal.

Abortion is perhaps the most disputed issue in America today. There are nine states in the United States that do not have specific laws prohibiting abortion after a certain point of pregnancy. This means that an abortion can be performed at any time, despite how far along the pregnancy is. This controversial topic is viewed through public opinion, legislatures, and the courts. There are three main concerns that are discussed within this issue: the constitutional rights of both the woman and the fetus, the development of the fetus, and the statistics between the harm restricting abortion and the loss of life caused by abortions. Allowing Americans to partake in abortions, revokes the nation’s moral values. It is situations and matters like these that define America.

Abortion is something that should be utilized, as long as it meets a strict list of prerequisites in order to follow through with the operation. Many people feel very strongly against abortion, and many feel strong in support for abortion. The notion of morality, and ethical issues come into a huge part in the decision making process.

To this day, abortion has become one of the most controversial topics across america. The biggest reason for this is that people override their logical reasoning with their emotions on a regular basis. If a person can surpass their emotions or can remove them from the conversation, the more logical choice becomes so obviously clear. Pro-Choice is the fair choice to all women in America and across the world, considering it is their body and what they choose to do with it is completely up to them. I am of the Pro-Life opinion, but for the purpose of this paper I am a Pro-Choice advocate.

Abortion seems to be a major issue in the world today especially in the United States. With the political race for President just getting stated this issue will be on the forefront of many complains and debates. An article over abortion was published a few days ago and covers some troubling trends in state law that have been passed so far this year. States like Arizona and Arkansas have passed laws that further interfere in the doctor-patient relationships that surge mandatory delays for women seeing safe and legal abortion. Such laws are becoming more popular in parts of the Southern states that have impacted reproductive rights and banning abortion being covered by insurance. This issue is ethically relevant to what we have discussed earlier

Abortion, not to be confused with miscarriage, is defined as the immediate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed within the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. A spontaneous abortion, also known as a miscarriage, is an expulsion of a fetus from the womb before it is able to survive independently. Women have abortions for many reasons including: Inability to support or care for a child, to prevent the birth of a child with birth defects or severe health problems, pregnancy resulting from rape and/or incest, physical or mental conditions that endanger the woman’s health if pregnancy is continued, and financial instability.

Abortion is a very painful topic for women and men who find themselves facing the moral dilemma of whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. It 's one of the most polarizing moral issues - most people are on one side or the other, very few are undecided.
