The Issue Of Abortion Is Moral Or Unjust

When the beginning of life actually occurs is clearly not a topic to be taken lightly in today’s modern world. Majority of the population’s answers to this question are based on each individuals opinion and is supported by what they believe. In general, there are two sides of the argument. One is that life begins at the time of conception. The other belief is that life doesn’t begin until the drawing of the first breath. The true dilemma here is not the accurate pinpointing of life’s beginning, but the questions that accompany this topic and each individuals desire to do the right thing, the moral thing. While one point of view allows for abortion the other does not. The issue raises many questions of morality. Is abortion moral? When does it become murder? When is it permissible? (Life of the mother at stake / A product of rape). Should it be the mother’s choice? Many arguments for both sides pull from scripture and scientific articulations.

In the early years of China, the Chinese began a period of establishment in the world with ideas and teachings of new religions, changing powers, and building empires. In a nutshell the Chinese were progressing toward new technology, writings, and belief systems. The Chinese saw many dynasties come and go as well as many ups and downs experienced with societies over the course of history. As all nation’s go through change, the Chinese experienced changes from other lands far away and produced many concepts in which helped other realms to see change for themselves. The Chinese used many inventive innovations to prosper as an economic power and stabilize intellectually. Change mixed with innovation proved to be the roots of China’s

Typically performed by the end of the second trimester, abortion is the intentional termination of a pregnancy. Although abortion is a modern controversy, it has a long history. In the 1880s abortion was made illegal. Even though abortion was illegal from the 1880s up until Roe v. Wade in 1973, the estimates of illegal abortions ranged as high as 1.2 million per year (Tietze and Henshaw). In 1971, Jane Roe, a 21 year old pregnant woman living in Texas, fought to eradicate the prohibition on abortion. The law in Texas, as in many other states at the time, prohibited abortion with the exception of life endangerment. Henry Wade was the Texas Attorney General who defended the law that made abortions illegal. After hearing the case, the Supreme

China has the most documented female suicides in any country, approximately 500 women a day (Women's Rights Without Frontiers). Women are forced to undergo abortions, commit acts of infanticide or abandon their babies. Every forced act of gendercide damages the essence of a woman. A woman’s body is no longer hers and the choice of pro-life for her baby is no longer her choice. The Chinese government needs to recognize “the heinous crime against humanity” that it is inflicting on its women by invading their “most intimate part of [their] bod[ies]-physically, emotionally and spiritually” and implement laws to protect them and their babies from these callous procedures (Littlejohn). Fortunately, the recent abolishment of the one-child policy is a stepping stone towards change. The introduction of two-child policy, implemented on October 31, 2015, has allowed families to have two, however as seen from precedent anti-natalist policies, limiting population growth will always come with undesirable impediments. It will take more than the introduction of the two-child policy for Chinese women to heal the wounds that the one-child policy has “inscribed” into

Abortion is one of the most polarizing topics in America today. Those who are against it are utterly abhorred by it, while those who support it feel it is an untouchable right that they are owed. Whichever side of the argument that you take, abortion is a relevant topic and I think that it will be brought even more into the spotlight in the next few years. As there are more and more stories of young women dying during illegal procedures, the government will eventually have to step in and make a decision. I hope that when that time comes, the law-makers take into consideration the rights that women are granted by the constitution. The freedom to do what we wish with our bodies is a fundamental right afforded to all Americans, and to take away

A young woman, supposed to leave for college in a few weeks, finds out she is pregnant. From here, she has two options: keep the baby and change her plans to fit those needs, or have an abortion. The choice is hers to make and legally, she can have an abortion if desired. Morally, however, there are many other aspects to consider. Abortion, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. For over a century, abortion has been one of the most highly disputed subjects in America, and this trend continues in today’s society. To many people, it is immoral and unethical, while others feel that a woman should have the right to decide what to do with her own body.

Abortions have been an issue in this country for many years. Some people agree That abortion should be illegal while others disagree and say that abortions should be legal. The three branches of government have been called upon to address the issue.

I can make an argument all day about how abortions are morally wrong, but if I do not have a solution to the problem that I am arguing, then I am just being a bigot. A bigot is defined as some being narrow-minded towards an individual who has an opposing view. I truly believe that there are other solutions than continuing with the abortion procedure and that is giving the child up for adoption, teach more about safe sex, and last, set an early deadline on abortions.

MacLeod (2012) stated that many Chinese women are forced to go through with an abortion, if they do not follow the one-child policy in China. The Chinese government’s course of action against women's rights. For example , if Chinese women get more one-child , they have an abortion this child. Also, the government should not put this policy because this is inhuman and the women have right to get more on-child. China has one-child policy is considering unethical policy and the government does not respect women’s rights. In addition, many women aborted child for chinese policy and the government forced abortion on Chinese women. MacLeod (2012) pointed out that Chinese couples should pay $6,300.00, if they want to have a second child, or risk the threat of violence. For example, any women want to procreation child , they have to pay a lot of

Faye Wattleton, the longest reigning president of the largest abortion provider in the world - Planned Parenthood- argued as far back as 1997 that everyone already knows that abortion kills. She proclaims the following in an interview with Ms. Magazine:

Abortion has been a controversial topic since the beginning of time. Roe v Wade was the court case in 1973, that ruled abortion as legal. In the last few decades, we have seen new arguments arise regarding whether the act of an abortion is morally right, or a women’s choice. Recently, Donald Trump has claimed that if elected president, he would support the overturn of the case. Although it is legal in the U.S., each individual state has their laws and rules on having an abortion. The argument against it has been mainly influence on morals and not facts. Laws against abortion have taken away a woman's right to do what she wants with her own body. Therefore, the right to an abortion should be decided by the women who are pregnant, and not those who still believe it to be an act of murder.

I was still unable to give an exact answer on the third question, and the video could not help me on this either. When I was young, I think that abortion was very unethical, because it was literally killing lives. But when I getting older, I realized that a lot times, people can be "ethical" was only because they are not in that position. It was not as easy as somebody'e opinion that stop abortion and give birth of the baby, then send the baby to an adoption agencies. How many mothers can really do that? Even though I am not a mother, I can imagine how hard it could be to give her children to another people. I believe for most pregnant women, abortion was a helpless decision for them. However, some women got pregnant was only because their

Not everyone is given the power to choose their death; this should be the right held for ourselves and no one else, especially not the government or society. However, this is not the case for people in China. Dating back to 1970s, China began to implement the One-Child Policy law where children after the first-born were denied their right to live. Because China was experiencing an overpopulation of 712 million people, China’s government decided to create limitations, which is the One-Child Policy rule, to avoid another overpopulation; yet, with this “solution,” China’s government unmorally denied 400 million people the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

For several years there has been an ongoing debate whether abortion is wrong or right. More specifically, the issue breaks down between an ethical and legal issue. Some pro-life people argue that an abortion is morally wrong and should be illegal. Others that are pro-choice argue that an abortion is a legal and bodily right. Whether an abortion is wrong or right, each side supports different arguments.
