Structured Opinion On Abortion

The abortion question raises a number of issues that form the core of the abortion debate. Opponents and supporters of abortions have been battling over this particular problem for decades and still cannot come to an agreement. Being one of the most common and most controversial medical procedures, abortion tends to affect people on psychological and sociological levels. But while the discussion of the morality of abortion is an ongoing debate, the social issues surrounding abortion in most cases stay unnoticed. The social aspect of the issue is centered on the abortion policy. The main question of the abortion policy is whether the law should permit abortions and, if so under what circumstances. The other is whether the law should put the life of an unborn child first and legally protect it. The peculiarity of the abortion policy is that its measures are highly dependent on different public opinions.

Abortion is one of the most hotly contested social issue’s in American politics. It has been used as a political tool by the Republicans (conservative Right) to mobilize its opponents as a strong voting block within the party. On the other side, the Democrats (liberal Left) has use their pro-choice stance over the issue to mobilize women voters, along with other proponents who believe that abortion should be a viable option for pregnant women. It is in this context in which the political debate of abortion is framed in American politics. It is a highly polarized issue; in this paper, we will review articles from both the New York Times (NYT) and the Washington Post (WP) to see how these viable news organizations report on this very

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,

One of the most controversial topics in politics is abortion. In class, we talked about the different type of abortions there are and the many different opinions that people may have about them. We also discussed the many reasons why a woman may choose to have an abortion. And surprisingly, what I thought I knew about them was completely wrong. Thus since learning about the reasons why one may get an abortion, I have changed my opinion on the topic and I was curious to find out what my mom’s opinion may be because abortions were not something that we had discussed before. Also, I thought it would be interesting to see if our opinions differed dramatically since most of our values come from our parents. Overall, my mother was in support of

Abortion really today has been a very controversial issue in today’s society. An interesting claim within it is that abortion can be done safely through the use of medical abortion and although medical abortions can be safe and trustworthy as experts might say, there still are risks that women will have to face and eventually take after abortion. Major types of risks can be pelvic infections, blood clots in the uterus or maybe a torn cervix. These are just few out of many health problems caused from abortion.

State a brief example to illustrate each of the following terms: allowing someone to die, mercy killing, mercy death.

Abortion has always had many views and opinions on it. Abortions have been performed for more than a hundred years. In the late 1800’s is when some states began passing laws for making abortions legal. People, still to this day, have tried fighting to make abortions illegal. There are two “categories” on people’s opinions for abortions. The people who are for abortion are pro-choice. The people who are against it are pro-life. Some people think abortions are morally wrong. Another view is abortion is a “human right”. The issue with abortions today has moved from a medical procedure to a means of gaining political power.

Abortion is the ending of pregnancy before birth and is morally wrong. An abortion results in the death of an embryo or a fetus. Abortion destroys the lives of helpless, innocent children and is illegal in many countries. By aborting these unborn infants, humans are hurting themselves; they are not allowing themselves to meet these new identities and unique personalities. Abortion is very simply wrong. Everyone is raised knowing the difference between right and wrong. Murder is wrong so why isn’t abortion? People argue that it is not murder since the fetus being destroyed is not living, breathing and moving. Why is it that if an infant is destroyed a month before the birth, there is no problem, but if

American suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton once said, “When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit” (Jenson). The pro-life vs. pro-choice abortion debate has always been a controversial topic in politics as well as the field of women’s health care. Many on the pro-choice side of the issue cite a woman’s right to make decisions for her own body as justification to continue the practice of abortion. The pro-life argument is that a woman and her child are separate entities and should be treated as such. Although legally and socially accepted in the United States, abortion asserts that a mother’s right to terminate

Abortion has been a controversial topic for centuries not only in the United States but also in the other parts of the world. Politicians always struggle to strike a balance between the rights of the unborn and the rights of the pregnant woman.

Abortion. One of the many things American’s argue over. There are many American’s who agree with an abortion, and then there are many who disagree with abortion. But what exactly is an abortion? There are many different definitions, but according to Tom Head, a civil liberties expert, an abortion is the international termination of a pregnancy after conception. He also claims that it allows women to put an end to their pregnancy, but involves killing the undeveloped embryo. My definition of an abortion is killing the baby while it is still in its mother’s womb. Tom Head and I both agree that an abortion is killing the baby. An abortion is taking away a perfectly innocent life; it is wrong and women should not do it.

When it comes to the topic of the abortion, most of us will readily agree that it’s a prolonging subject in our society. Governor Rick Perry and state senator Wendy Davis has opposing views of abortion in Texas. Governor Rick Perry on one point of view speaks of the unhealthy conditions of abortion clinics in Texas. In his argument, Rick Perry opposes the procedure used by these clinics, claiming the standards and conditions are not met to that of those of how an abortion clinic should be. Senator Wendy Davis, on the other hand, stresses on the trials and tribulations Texas women would have to face under this law. With the use of voices from women in Texas, she argues against this law. Voicing her opinion on, whether the passing of this law would restrict basic women rights.

Abortion is a controversial topic in the United States as well as in other countries. In 1973 (PBS), the United States Roe v. Wade ruled a state law that banned abortions except to save the life of a mother was unconstitutional. This case politically polarized citizens of the country and continues to inspire debates, politics, and violence (PBS). The polarization of public opinions from citizens on abortion can be related to many factors. Some factors that can polarize citizens’ public opinions towards abortion is laws, politics, religion, and gender.

The man is an American who is older, wealthy and educated, and the girl is not. An example is given when the American orders their drinks in Spanish. Affluent American children receive a better education and are taught to speak different languages, but children from poorer backgrounds do not. The man lives a jet set lifestyle, which can be deduced by the luggage covered with many hotel labels. Their relationship is based on travelling, drinking, leisure, and sex. The girl travelling with the American is dependant on him and his money, as demonstrated when she asks the man for permission to order a drink, “Anis del Toro”.

This week’s topic was still abortion, the difference however, was that this week we did not read two opinion articles, we read one opinion article and the other one actually introduced us to a new form of ethics, care ethics. The reading that stuck out to me the most was the second one, because while the first one does give you a new perspective and a new train of thought, the second reading however tries to take you through a research project and then tries to explain what just happened. Something that did confuse me though was how the second reading was portrayed.
