Abortions: You Should Have a Choice!
Imagine someone told you that you could only to wear a certain pair of jeans. Someone else decided for you whether or not you can wear any other pair of pants. How would that make you feel, how would you react? What if those circumstances involved a baby and someone said you had to carry and give birth to it even if you don’t want to. Society has benefitted through the access government approved abortions clinics giving women the opportunity to overcome teenage pregnancy, significantly reducing health risks, and defeating after effects of rape.
Abortions for all women must be legal because women should be able to decide what they want to do with their bodies. Women are constantly being denied abortions

"...Women who were denied abortions 'Felt more regret and anger' and 'less relief and happiness' than women who had abortions” (“Should Abortion”). This proves that being denied an abortion when needed or wanted can have devastating consequences on a woman's mental health. Women in these situations felt helpless and probably do not know what to do with their future. Finally, abortions give women the opportunity to not deliver a baby when it is revealed that it has a deadly or incurable disease. Fetuses can have anencephaly where the brain doesn't grow, limb–body wall complex where are the organs grow outside of the body, and Down Syndrome. "'Many couples... don't have the resources, don't have the emotional stamina, don't have the family support!' [to raise a child with Down syndrome]."
This entails, women should have the opportunity to decide if they want to go through the mental and physical exhaustion of having a baby with disabilities such as Down Syndrome or anencephaly, both of these diseases also cost a plethora of money, something not all families have. In conclusion, every one of these problems could have been solved with the access of safe abortion clinics. Mothers shouldn't go to the extent of a clothes hanger to have an abortion, be mentally traumatized from the pregnancy they do not want, and if parents don't want a disabled child that is their choice not to
Teenagers are now getting pregnant at the ages of 16 to 17. Some of the teenagers family won’t want them to have the baby or have it but they don't want them to keep it. The parents think that they can pick what is best for the baby and for their kid. When it is up to the mother of the baby and the father (depends on if the father wants to be apart of the baby's life). The baby should have both parents in her/his life.
Women should not be able to make decisions about how to live their lives. Clearly, by the looks of the statistics, with approximately 42 million abortions a year, women are foolish. Women should not have the option of deciding when or whether to have children. They do this by making choices regarding when to have sexual intercourse and what contraceptive methods to use. The government should have all the power to make these decisions. Abortion reflects a women's value, her family, and her career.
Abortion should be legal, because there are too many things that go wrong. A women could be raped and need to get one because she doesn’t want to look at the child and doesn’t want to feel it grow, freedom of choosing what to do and how government involvement in personal decisions such as this could lead to potentially having the government deem how many children you can have or even how many pregnancies you are allowed, medical reasons for abortion, and the ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil rights.
Good people disagree about the morality of abortion because we disagree about what defines human nature. First trimester abortions may have absolutely no moral implications whatsoever--perhaps a first trimester embryo is no more conscious than a kidney or spleen. Or they may have more serious moral implications. Our culture hasn't come to a consensus on that yet.
The ongoing dispute of abortion has condemned the idea of women aborting their unborn child. Whether it be lack of support, critical physical or mental health, rape, or not being ready for such responsibility - all women have a reason for having an abortion. Therefore, women should have the free will to do what proves necessary and beneficial to themselves and their pregnancy.
There are many prevalent issues, including abortion, race, religion, and pedophilia, that exist not only in America, but across the world, that many people have a difficult time discussing. These topics have a tendency to make people uncomfortable, and when brought up in discussion it can be easy to offend someone who has an opposing opinion. Even though conversation about these issues is difficult to engage in, the conversations are important to have. Satire has a way of making light of uncomfortable topics, and it allows for the conversation about these topics to be started. Since satire approaches these topics in a joking manner, people might be less inclined to be offended. In Bojack Horseman and South Park, the characters are able to talk about an incredibly controversial topic, abortion, in a way that should not be taken offensively. These examples demonstrate that if done in an effective way, satire can touch upon any topic. Since these two episodes are fictional and presented as an animation, there is a separation from reality that makes it easier to tackle more controversial topics effectively. Being a cartoon, audiences automatically view these shows as as fictional, so discussion about controversial topics can be brought up and audiences are less likely to be offended. When topics that are difficult or uncomfortable to talk about are covered in different mediums, like articles, novels, and non-animated shows, it is easier for
Many children are being murdered every second of the day but it seems like no one is doing nothing about it .America is known for “Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness”. These children deserve life and freedom. This is what America means “a new life”. Ever since the law passed that you can have an abortion in 1973, many innocent babies were put to death! They are killing a human being.
Did you know when you abort a child from twenty weeks they can live up to twenty-six weeks. I am against abortion. It may have fewer health problems but your killing a human being. Abortion is murder. Why do people think its ok to give up a baby by abortion? I guess not everyone believes in that because of their beliefs and their religion. A lot of mothers have strong beliefs and religions and one of their beliefs are that they don’t believe in abortion. People who have abortion has fewer health problems. I am against abortion and it may have fewer problems but you are killing a human being and it's not ok!
Abortion should be illegal is because the reasons why people are aborting. The opposing side may say there is many reasons why it is ok to abort your child, for example if you aren’t ready to have a baby. Even if they think they are “ready” to have an abortion, most of the time they are not. Only 25%
In 1973, the US Supreme Court declared abortion a nationwide fundamental right through a trial called Roe vs. Wade and protected this right underneath the Fourteenth Amendment, more specifically, the right to privacy. A basic human right, especially one outlined by the Supreme Court, must never run at risk or threat chiefly because not everyone agrees with it. Under no circumstances should a pregnancy ever adjudge mandatory. Abortion is a Constitutional right and as a nation we must fight to give the right and freedom of safe abortions to women all around the nation, make birth control and sex education accessible to women, and raise awareness about the topic itself. (LawCornell)
Within society there is an unspoken yet unanimously accepted verity that acknowledges women as the sole decider in the outcome of their pregnancy. The prima facie of this argument is rooted in a collective recognition that women should have the right to decide what happens to their own bodies. This belief is universally protected under article 3 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights; stating that an individual’s right to life, liberty and personal security is recognised as a fundamental civil liberty. Therefore, the bodily autonomy of a women (and of any other person) is of unequivocal importance. However, what should happen when a woman wants to keep the baby and the male doesn’t?
Another reason why some women have abortions is due to medical problems that they think or know they can’t handle. The fetus might have been hurt by exposure to high levels of toxic chemicals, medications that might be dangerous to the fetus, alcohol, drugs, etc. They may cause the fetus to be genetically damaged. Some girls become pregnant at a very young age, when pregnancy can be dangerous. The fetus has a genetic defect or other health problem. Virtually all of the couples who find that the fetus suffers from Down's Syndrome, or a similar defect, elect to have an abortion. The woman may develop
Despite assurances, the risk for fetal defects due to chromosomal aberration remains, physically (tallness, low fertility, infertility, and breast enlargement), mentally (potential manic-depressive problems), and behaviorally (tendency towards behavioral disorders). Purdy (1995) argued that every child should be provided with at least a minimally satisfying life, and genetic defect and its physical, mental and behavioral consequences cannot provide that level of satisfying life. Otherwise, the child will be socially outcast among the “defectives,” she will feel unloved, feels resentment for the short end that her birth had given her. The mother also will blame herself for giving birth to her, watching her suffer from such burdensome conditions. Her descendants too will be burdened with her genetic defects and the resultant woes. Purdy (1995) also insisted that, until there are assurances and certainties that the risks are not going to happen, it is the moral duty of the mother to not bring defective babies into the world, and burden the society for their care.
To deny a woman the right to terminate her pregnancy is akin to robbing her of any ability to make decisions about her body, her self, and her future. The woman is effectively forced, against her will, to assume an identity and a future that she normally would have avoided. This type of coersion can permanently damage a persons emotional and psychological health. The one thing that makes each of us an individual is our decision making freedom and powers regarding our own future and actions. But when we are robbed of our ability to make our own decisions about our future, our self, and our identity, then we are robbed of our most essential and valuable treasure…our self. If a woman wishes to obtain an early term abortion…to terminate a pregnancy…then she must be allowed to choose this option. If she id denied an abortion, then both her and the future child will suffer tremendously. Please stop viewing abortion as something that you should have sole control over. A person’s body is their own, not yours. It is threatening and invasive when others attempt to direct the lives of their peers. Rather supporting the tyrannical idea of forced childbirth, perhaps you ought to consider the more moderate concept that all people should be able to choose the future of their bodies and reproductive functions. I advocate neither abortion nor
The right to an abortion is a right that women should have. Many women face difficult situations where they find themselves needing to have an abortion. It is up to a woman to choose what is best, according to her, for her life. Modifications to one’s body is allowed, and abortion is just another modification. Women should build one another and not tear each other down by judging each other’s decisions. Women, who decide either to have an abortion, make a life-changing decision that everyone should
