Should Abortion Be Legal?

Throughout the United States there has always been a big debate on whether or not abortion is ethically acceptable or not. Though many individuals see it as killing a child, many others can overlook that burden and see the consequences of having a child at that point in time. Individuals who are put in a pregnancy situation and have to look into all aspects of an abortion and the reasons for this procedure, while also realizing the biological development of the fetus, and the process of an abortion.

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.

Imagine a mother going in for a routine appointment towards the beginning of her pregnancy. The doctors are looking at the sonogram image and go silent for too long. In the moments that follow, one doctor after another enter the exam room, look at the sonogram screen, then retire to the hallway and whisper conversation. She keeps asking what is going on, but nobody will say. She sits there in the cold company of beeping monitors. Her heart beats so fast, and she feels so afraid. All the doctors eventually come in the room together, stand around the bed, and tell her that her baby is severely developmentally compromised. The baby will die at birth or after a few short, excruciatingly painful minutes of life. Therefore, continuing the pregnancy to full term would be dangerous for the mother as well. It’s her choice the doctors tell her. Abortion must remain legal because the government has no place in the decision, a woman has control over her own body, and the woman has the

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.

The issue of abortion in the United States has been one that has courted controversy and created a public, ethical, and moral division in our American society and culture. Different opinions and views on this contraceptive subject has brought on multitudinous moral and ethical arguments. Morally, many people in our modern culture believe that if the mother of the unborn child has certain mental issues or health issues, it is suitable for that mother to terminate the life of her unborn child for the better health of the baby and for the mother herself. However; once an unborn fetus is aborted, the symptoms after an abortion have long-term and lasting impacts on the mother that can worsen the mother 's health and mental stability. After an abortion, many mothers have experienced extreme sadness and anger, periods of long-term depression and regret, and some have

There are many factors that affect the decision to receive an abortion. For this reason I felt the need to view the issue from both a pro-life and a pro-choice standpoint. I do believe in the principle that everybody should be able to make their own choice, but in the instance of taking the life of a human baby, it is a hazier subject. Most pro-life or anti-abortion people say that the government should override a woman’s decision to have an abortion in some, many, or all cases and require her to continue her pregnancy to childbirth. Those promoting pro-choice say that the government should not interfere with the woman’s decision, or should do so only under very rare circumstances. She should be able to have an abortion in some, many, or

Imagine a woman was raped and later became pregnant. Shouldn 't she have the right to abort the child or should she be forced to deliver? Put yourself in her shoes. Can you imagine the pain she might feel every time she looks at the child? Should she be forced to endure this? Women should be allowed to have abortions under circumstances such as these.

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.

The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy, also known as an abortion, is a major controversy. This controversy has a very long history and is still being discussed everywhere, to this day. At current rates, the average woman will have an abortion by the time she is 45. Here are some National statistics; 58% of women that get abortions are in their 20’s; 61% have one or more children; 85% are unmarried; 69% are economically disadvantaged; and 73% report a religious affiliation. Some people claim to know the consequences of having an abortion and I agree with the some of the views of the people who are against abortions have but, I believe that an abortion is still the choice of the person(s) that is involved and non-other. Therefore, I am not against abortion.

In Gwendolyn Brooks’ poem “the Mother” the entire theme was based on abortion. A mother was not emotionally or mentally ready to have children, so she did what needed to be done; she aborted. This poem was written in 1945 and still today’s society still has objections on pro-choice. On January 22, 1973 the US Supreme Court ruled that abortion is a fundamental right that was guaranteed by the US Constitution. In short terms the ruling stated that a woman, with her doctor, could have the option to end her pregnancy. This ruling made abortion legal in the United States which seemed to be a relief for some and others a restraint. Abortion has been a controversial issue in the United States for years. There are one of two sides that can be chosen in this debate; pro-life or pro-choice. Those who believe in pro-life consider abortion as intentionally murdering a human being. In contrast to the advocates, you have the opponents, who believe abortion is not the same as murder that it is here to help not hinder a woman. Having an abortion is a huge decision to be made. The word abortion itself means to remove the fetus from the uterus before it is able to survive on its own. The question that still stirs up an audience still remains “should abortion be legal?”

Typically, the issue of abortion in the United States has been one that has courted controversy and created a public, political, and moral divide. While some feel that abortion should be illegal, others feel it should be restricted. Still others feel it should be legal and freely accessed. Although there are many ethical phases which originate from the application of reproduction control in women’s health, the main issues that raise ethical problems following the development of assisted reproduction techniques are: the right to procreate or reproduce. Induce abortion raises ethical issues related to the rights of women versus the rights

The battle over whether to legalize or ban abortion in the United States has greatly increased in recent years; the moral, ethical and legal has been a continuous fight in our society. The abortion issue is also the most passionate and debatable in the United States to whether allow one to have free will over their body or have the government make that decision. Furthermore, it is one of the leading debate in political races. In this society everyone has a choice and they all have consequences. The choice for a woman to choose to have an abortion is solely her fundamental right. Contrary to pro-choice supporters, pro-life supporters argues that the fetus has more right to life than a woman’s privacy right (Head, 2015). I believe that if

Abortion has become a common argument topic in America; numerous individuals consider themselves pro-life and others pro-choice. Those who consider themselves pro-life oppose abortion, while those who are pro-choice advocate for abortion to be legalized. I believe that abortion should be illegal and that life should be recognized upon conception.

Many women today face abortion in their lives for many different reasons and it is a very difficult situation to go through. The abortion debate deals with the rights and wrongs of deliberately ending a pregnancy before normal childbirth, killing the fetus in the process. The topic of abortion is very controversial and many people have been protesting for or against abortion legalization. The age-old debate has many issues regarding ethics and rights. This topic is definitely worth investigating because it questions the true value of human life. My research question regarding this topic is should abortion be legalized? Based on the evidence of my research abortion should not be legalized except for a few exceptions.

Globally, abortion claims 2 billion lives each year and has costs the world untold value in the loss of scientist, artists, educators, and others who may have contributed to the cause of humanity. Abortion is defined several different ways but it ending a life no matter how soon it is done. Many laws have changed about abortions but also now they are considering letting someone wait until 36 weeks to have an abortion. At 36 weeks, that is a full baby that could be born into the world and survive and not have any complications it is absolutely insane that they would even consider this. Abortion is unsafe. Many of the procedures that are going on to let women have abortions is
