The Is A Person From The Moment Of Conception

Abortion has been one of the most popular and argumentative topics that has still yet to be settled. Ultimately the question we can ask when trying to solve this issue is whether or not pregnant women should have the right to kill an unborn baby. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth takes place and is a moral wrong. Can we as a society call ourselves human if we allow the deaths of unborn babies to take place? Those who take the side of pro-choice or as also known as pro-abortion often use statements concerning life, humanity, human rights and freedom to support their claims. I believe abortion should be illegal because we as a society must protect the human lives that are in danger whether or not they are in their first

How would you feel if someone took away your ability to live? Imagine not having any say in whether or not you want to have a life. Well babies don't have a choice in their mother’s womb. If a woman decides to abort her baby, they can't do anything about their life being taken away from them. Their whole future is demolished. I believe abortion is wrong when committing it for a selfish reason.

Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. However many People agree to disagree on whether abortion is a legal or illegal matter. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy through removal of the embryo or fetus. I support abortion for the following reasons. Birth control failure, unable to support or care for a child, to prevent a child with birth defects or medical conditions, and a pregnancy in resulting from rape or incest. A woman should have the right to do what she pleases with her own body. For example, say a woman is pregnant with no desire of keeping the child and there was no clinic to help her remove the fetus. She’s most likely going to obtain matters into her own hands and figure a way to abort the fetus herself. Why put women in that situation when they have highly trained doctors who can remove the fetus using the proper tools with no harm done to the mother?

Babies are born and killed every day. Not babies, but unborn fetuses. It’s a sensitive topic for some, more than others. But for me I feel the topic of abortion should be discussed and ideas should be shared with one another. Abortion is a permanent decision to have an unborn fetus, (between 12 and 20 weeks), removed from a woman's womb. There are more pro-life believers than pro-choice. I am one of those few pro-choice believers that laugh at the “anti-abortion” picketers outside Planned Parenthood. Although there are some instances where people think abortion is not moral, it is completely up to the woman and possibly her partner as well.

Abortion is a decision every person should decide for themselves. The major arguments against abortion are how a fetus is a person; a fetus has rights; and it is morally impermissible to take a life. Many consider abortion to be equivalent to murder. However, a fetus is not a person. There are important traits one most hold to be a person, 1) self-awareness, one must be able to make decisions regarding themselves 2) being able to converse with others and hold a relationship 3) consciousness, one must be able to make rational decisions and have thought (Warren). On important aspect of being person is the ability to be aware of its surroundings and decision making. Being a pregnant is not a situation everyone gets to experience and the

According to Webster Dictionary, abortion is “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus”. There are two sides when it comes to abortion: pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life supporters are usually religious individuals, individuals who believe it is a kind of murder, and/or people who believe in the sanctity of life. Pro-choice supporters are normally individuals who believe a woman has the right to her own body, it is not a form of murder, and some individuals believe that there are limits. The main point of disagreement between both of these sides is whether an embryo/ fetus is a human so should it be legal or illegal and is it immoral?

Imagine yourself as a 16 year-old girl or boy who made a mistake and ended up with an unwanted pregnancy. Would you want to go through with the pregnancy or would you want to have an abortion? You think that it will be easy and you can go on in life. Then your life starts to go down hill, you miss a lot of school, and can’t make it to work. You end up dropping out of school. This all would’ve been easier if you got an abortion. I support people who get abortion. People say it is killing a life when it is only a fetus that isn't developed all the way. Also women can do what they want to their own body, and Women will do what they want even if it is illegal or legal. They will do it regardless.

A lot of people consider abortion a form of murder because they consider the fetus to be a human being. It is because of this that they would never get an abortion and they would get mad at others who did. People consider babies a gift from God and even unplanned pregnancies are seen as God’s gift to the parents. People who are against abortion state other humans are in no position to play God and that we have no right to choose who lives and who dies. Some reasons that pregnant women consider not having an abortion are because the chances of getting pregnant afterwards decline and because of the emotional pain that is felt with the loss of a mother’s child. It is a very tragic event in a woman’s life and its something that can’t be reversed or taken back. People who are against abortion argue that

What are the ethics of Abortion? I believe ethics of abortion is a controversial topic, in which it involves the act of removing a fetus from the womb of a woman’s body. This bioethical issue has been an ongoing debate for over forty years now. For many people, abortion is a moral issue, concerning the rights of a fetus and a woman’s right over her own body. What are your moral beliefs about abortion and a woman’s right to having one? I am a Pro-Choice supporter. I believe a woman has the right to make the ultimate decision on what she wants to do with her own body-safe and legally. However, I don’t believe that abortion should be used as a form of birth control or contraception. Society today, approaches discussions about abortion with caution; for many in society today, believe that it’s an act of murder and against all Godly ways. On the contrary, others like myself believe that under certain livelihood circumstances, the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy should be a

I agree completely that the fetus, or the human embryo, is in fact a living being. Moreover, human embryo is the “same” as human beings except, the difference between these two is that the embryo is not a full human person because the fetus is not fully developed yet. Every new life, whether it be animal or human, begins at conception. With this being said, no matter what the circumstances of conception, no matter how far along in the pregnancy, abortion, in my opinion, always ends the life of an individual human being.

Personhood to me begins when the baby is starting to mature in the womb, then finishes when the baby is born. I feel the same way with when the embryo is an official human being, it starts in the womb and ends when the baby is born. I think an embryo is worthy of human rights is when it first develops, human rights develops with it. The time it grows from an embryo to a baby should be the same rate it gains rights, then when it's born, gets full-blown human rights. Protection of the law should given after some maturity in the womb. An unborn baby shouldn't be accused of a crime, that's ridiculous. The baby also shouldn't be under any danger such as in a violent act, it's just wrong if some stranger comes up and slaps a baby for no reason.

“One woman dies every seven minutes around the world due to an unsafe illegal abortion” (womenscenter.com). Women all over the world have used abortion as an alternative to having the baby in every known society, in any point in history, regardless of its legality. The reason and decision to have an abortion is never easy. Pro-Life advocates may argue that a fetus can feel pain and it is inhumane. In reality, a newly fertilized embryo cannot physically feel pain up until at least 14 weeks. People claim there are other options including adoption. But in reality, we already have enough unwanted children in this world so why bring in thousands of more children as a result of abortions being illegal? And the what about the care for the mother?

There is a never ending debate on whether a fetus's personhood begins at conception or at the moment they are born. Depending on religion or specific beliefs the answer is always different. The argument on personhood may be infinite but the moment that life begins is not a question. Life is evident through the swift development of a fetus. During the first three weeks the baby's brain, spinal cord, and most important, the heart form. After four weeks facial features form and the heart begins to pump blood. These features are seen in humans, therefore how can one argue that the growing baby is not a person but merely a fetus or group of cells. Abortion on demand makes abortion available not just in the early stages of pregnancy but all throughout the pregnancy. If an abortion is carried out during the first one to twelve

Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy that is often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. As life begins at conception, unborn babies are human beings and thus have the right to life. The federal Unborn Victim Of Violence Act that was made to protect unborn babies from murder states that anybody intentionally killing an unborn baby should be punished for killing a human being. Abortion is a murder because it is taking away someone’s life. Even though the baby isn’t born yet, the fetus in the mother’s womb still feels pain while being aborted. No person, not even a mother, has the right to hurt someone. To keep a child, who can’t even speak, from growing and from living is a murder.

So, the arguments and questions surrounding this topic are: Should abortion be legal? Is it simply the mother’s choice? Does the father need to be on board with the plan? And obviously so many more. My belief is that the baby needs to be put first. And I’m not saying that the mother has no right, but as a mother all you want is what’s best for your baby and how is killing it the answer. I know, some mothers aren’t ready to take on the task of raising another life but that is why there is adoption. As I’m sure it would be one of the hardest things to give your baby away, don’t you think that is better than just killing him/her? At the stage of pregnancy where abortion is legal, the baby is a fetus. I absolutely hate that word, because it’s a baby, another living thing that is growing inside of you. I understand there is a different scenario for every different baby being born. Some mothers, have a loving and supporting family surrounding her, others do not. Some mothers have a spouse beside them, cherishing every moment of this journey together, others do not. And I feel absolutely heartbroken for those mothers who feel that they have no one to rely
