Should Abortion Be Legal?

Among all the issues that have been fought for or against in the United States, abortion may be one of the most popular issues that Americans are passionate about. Abortion is defined as the removal of the embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy. Thousands of abortions take place every single day, and yet public opinion remains at a standstill as to whether or not abortion is ethical. Everyone holds different opinions on abortion. The proponents believe that it is the women’s private right to determine the future of the baby in her body. On the other hand, the opponents think a woman does not have the right to decide whether the person that she gives birth should live or die. They believe that life begins at conception. In fact, a person’s stance on the issue is often determined by how he views the fetus: a part of the mother’s body or as a human being. I am an opponent, and I believe abortion is murder. Also, abortion should not be legal because it harms women’s health, affects intimate relationship, and women do not have the right to decide the baby’s right to live or die.

Abortion, to some it is the murder of an innocent fetus with a heartbeat. To others it is considered an option to be freed from the responsibilities of parenthood. We all have different views that can be controversial to the opinions of others. Yet, there are proven facts and cases where making abortion illegal is the best decision. Propaganda for Prolife is everywhere, but is there enough to show the world how wrong abortion is? I believe there is not, yet there are some very emotional advertisements that can change your whole perspective. Abortion should be considered illegal because it is considered murder and can have severe consequences for woman, and there are other options to chose instead of abortion.

While approximately 50% of females are affected at an older age and can’t have babies any more. This risky method, can end your life and affect your body later on. If you’re not planning on having babies use protection that could prevent pregnancy. After all, abortion is a dangerous procedure and legal abortion should be eliminated from all states of the United States. A girl named Kathy was pregnant at age 14 she found out during her 20 weeks pregnant, she said that she needed advice before making her choice and has experienced trauma since then. Kathy who experiences abortion regrets making the decision she says, “The decision to abort my child was not a solution to a problem, but the source of many of my problems from then

Half of all pregnancies in America are unintended pregnancies. There are four possible solutions to decrease abortions. (1) Provide medical, contraceptive, and abstinence education. (2) Provide insurance coverage and public funding for family planning services. (3) Access to contraception and emergency contraception which prevents pregnancy and is not a product of abortion. (4) Providing greater access to programs that limit domestic violence and sexual abuse. Overall, proper educations on pregnancy prevention can help with the struggling decision of

Unwanted pregnancies can cause many issues, such as financial and health problems, as always there is the option of aborting the child. Finding an abortion clinic willing to help however is challenging due to the varying laws of abortion, specifically the difference is laws from state to state. 37 out of 50 United states require parental involvement of some sort, 21 of those 37 states require at least one parent to give consent, 11 of the 37 require that at least one parent is notified, 5 of the 37 states require both parents to be notified and at least one to give consent, 1 of those 5 require that both parents to give consent. Of the remaining 18 states, 8 require a doctor's permission and 10 use the “clear and convincing reasoning” rule. According to the GuttMacher institute (2015 statistic) With this many laws in place and endless exceptions to them by the time you get approved to have an abortion it may be too late to have a legal

A common debate in the world today involves abortion, the deliberate end of human pregnancy, and whether or not it should be legalized. “Every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day” (“Abortions Worldwide this Year”). On one side of the argument, people are not disturbed by this grotesque number, and on the other side there are people outraged and simply appalled. Although people attempt to deem abortion acceptable in society because of circumstances like the mother not being able to support the child or in instances of rape, it is still morally wrong.

Abortion is a deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. There are series of legal, moral and ethical issues which may arise about abortion. Most arguments about abortion are often focused on political insinuations and the legal aspect of such actions. Some frequently asked questions’ regarding the issue is if the practice should be outlawed and regarded as murder or should women have the right to practice it. For example, prior to becoming pregnant, some women feel that they would be able to choose the abortion option without trouble. However, even with reasons why having an abortion would be the best option, some women feel that this decision would not be right for them. On the other hand, some women have a strong belief that abortion is unethical prior to becoming pregnant.

Abortion has been an ongoing issue for many years and over the years this issue has grown in importance. This issue is widely argued over many subjects and like many other aspects of the human life, this is an issue which is definitely up for open interpretation. If the word abortion isn’t clear than here is a little definition of it, "the termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival." I don’t think that because a fetus is unborn, that fetus does not have any rights, actually that organism is in development meaning it should hold equal human rights, again it is definitely up for debate. Abortion is a subject which could be considered as a debatable gray area in life which no matter how much is argued will never be clear as to what really is right or wrong. There are many people out there, me included, would go against abortion because we believe that it is a form of murder because even though the organism is helpless is nonetheless a living organism forming to become a human being. There are those who would argue against this and say that it is ok to abort an unborn baby and that a woman has the right to choose what she does with her body and anything which grows and lives inside of her. If she claims that she is not fit to bring a life form into the world than they would argue that abortion is the best way to go without any hesitation. A few questions come up when this issue comes up for debate, for example is abortion

Abortion is beyond doubt a debatable topic all around the world. In the United States, people are nowhere near any settlement of the matter and have not come to an agreement for the foreseeable future. The topic of abortion brings up a debatable issue regarding prenatal testing. An ultrasound is a standard procedure where the fetus can be checked upon and evaluated. With this procedure, abnormalities of the fetus can be detected, so further testing can be done to determine the health of the fetus. Nevertheless, what if anomalies are detected and the fetus either has a chance of not surviving or will be born with severe disabilities? It is unethical to most individuals, but the decision to end a pregnancy should always be accessible to the woman even if their decision is simply for the reason that their child would be born with disabilities.

Since almost the beginning of time, abortion has been something that is considered very taboo in our society. Many people do not like to discuss it or share their views on it to spare the feelings or judgement of others. However, it is a very important topic that deserves to have more light shed on it as well as have more supporters be open and outspoken about it. Abortion can be a tough topic for many to talk about due to their own personal experiences or life choices. However what is not so difficult is to simply make others aware that it is a pressing issue around them. As Lao Tzu said, “Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single

Teenagers should not be allowed to have abortions. There are too many risk; abortions can cause young women infertility, meaning they will not be able to have kids. Young women young women have to deal with extreme fetal pain during an abortion process; there is also the probability that some can die right there on the table and have drastic changes in there hormones. Studies have proven that abortions can lead to an increased chance of breast cancer, Pelvic Inflammatory disease, and the contraction of Viral Hepatitis due to excessive bleeding and complications. We as teenagers also need to learn to grow up and take care of our responsibities

Abortion has and always will be an extremely controversial issue in American politics. Some believe that having an abortion is a completely normal and reasonable way of preventing unnecessary life, like birth control. Others believe this is murder and should be stopped at all costs. In my opinion, I believe that abortion is a woman’s choice and no one should be able to tell a woman how to manage her body. Legal abortion is a natural and responsible way to provide safety to woman and an unborn child, freedom to control ones own body, safe and sanitary abortions, a better solution than adoption, and population control.

Within the following essay, one shall discuss all the circumstances in which it is always permissible to have an abortion, and that a detelogical pro-life standing on abortion, which would consider it not permissible in any circumstances and so wish to avoid permitting abortion in any circumstance, is ultimately wrong. The following essay will be split into two parts, the first will discuss Second order reasons for abortion and the second will discuss First Order reasons. First order reasons are reasons for abortion, which are easily justifiable, such as rape and medical complications which are mostly accepted by the deontelogical standing, whereas Second order reasons are, in comparison, less easy to justify, such as socioeconomic reasons

The definition of abortion is quite simple. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often done within the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Any life is precious, no matter if it is wanted nor unwanted. The way that a woman’s body can change within a few weeks and how much a baby can develop is pretty magical. When a couple have intercourse, they obviously know the consequences. Consequences being that if you do not use protection then a baby will be the outcome. Abortion is immoral and it is the killing of a precious human that has no say in anything just yet. When these adults are even questioning about having an abortion, they need to ask themselves, is it right killing a life that can later effect the world in some

Teenage pregnancy has become a norm in America. Sex education is gradually losing significance among the youth. Despite the wide range of contraceptives, many young women are continually getting pregnant. Additionally, the number of young boys and girls ruining their lives at an early stage as a result of quick moments of pleasure is alarming. Moreover, the advancement in technology is an increasingly contributing factor to the high rates of teenage pregnancy (Garfield 34). Numerous strategies have been put in place to advocate for the need to abstain until marriage, but all that has been in vain. As a result, young women need to be granted the choice to safely abort an unwanted child and not have to worry about other obscure ways to free themselves from this baggage (Jabour 54).
