The Issue Of Global Issues Are Everywhere We Look

Abortion has been a heated debate in the United States for decades. Since before the ruling on Roe v. Wade, it is clear that this is an issue that is far from ever being decided upon. Between those who are pro-life and those who are pro-choice, scholars from both sides work on disproving the morality of the other side. With the evolution of abortion laws and regulation through the decades, it is difficult to imagine the United States without conflict pertaining to abortion. Despite pro-life and pro-choice agendas, the country is in ever-changing opinion when it comes to abortion.

　　　　In our society, abortion has been a controversial topic that has led some people to take sides on the matter. These two opposing sides (pro-life and pro-choice) fight for their moral and political stance of abortion; raising the questions if abortion is morally right or whether it should be made illegal. Pro-choice activists argue that women should have a right to choose abortion and cling to the idea of freedom, whereas

When touching the subject of abortion, one must consider that there are two sides battling for control. That is right, abortion has literally turned into a war zone where even the unlikely of individuals do the unthinkable. Each side has their motives and methods for contradicting the other. For instance, there are cases and events that support both sides of this issue.

It is worth mentioning in the first place that the continuing debate over the abortion problem has always been based on two main opposing views. Nagan (1971) terms these viewpoints as “the fetus oriented view and the female perspective” (p. 288). To his mind, defining the status of the fetus as a human being or only as a potential human being best indicates polarity

Abortion has taken the lives of more than 50 million babies since 1973 (“About Abortion”). The issue of abortion is one of the most common controversial issues in American politics and culture. In modern society, many women that have an unintended pregnancy and they result to abortion without researching other options. Abortion is not a substitute for birth control and this issue should be taken seriously. The individual woman needs to understand that by agreeing to have an abortion she is agreeing to kill an innocent fetus. Abortion rips the unborn child from his or hers right to life. Society needs to let women see through the eyes of the fetus and find alternative ways to raise the baby. Abortion should be

Abortion has always been considered a controversial issue in America. When it comes to abortion there are and there will continue to be many different views about the moral acceptance and the social political sides of abortion. Therefore when the Roe vs. Wade decision was announced on January 22, 1973, it was received with a lot of controversy from the public. The Roe vs. Wade case is known to be the case that legalized abortion in the U.S. Before the Roe vs. Wade case, abortion was looked at as morally wrong and it was considered a crime that could cause a woman to spend time in prison. When Roe vs. Wade case ruling, made the court accepted for the first time that the constitutional right to privacy “is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy” (Summary of Roe v. Wade, 1973). A woman’s life was changed with the ruling because now a pregnant woman who did not wish to have her child was allowed to terminate her pregnancy without the fear of being arrested if they were ever caught or the fear of risking their life going through with an illegal abortion.

Out of all modern social controversies, perhaps the most heated controversy is that of abortion. In today’s society you are either a Pro-life or a Pro-choice, there is not a middle ground. Pro-life are individuals who believe abortion is immoral and should be stop for the wellbeing of women and unborn babies. In contrast, the Pro-choice individuals do not necessarily promote abortion, they just believe women should be the ones to make decisions over their bodies and health. Although the two main sides of the abortion debate have concerns for human life, pro-life activists worries more about the fetus and morals, a clear difference from the pro-choice that worries more for the women and their rights. Based on the points I explored, the pro-choice arguments are stronger than pro-life arguments. Most of both groups arguments comes from peer-reviewed researches from well-known sources to support each individual concept. Effects on women,socio-politics, and fetus are some of the main point of conflicts between the pro-life and pro-choice advocates.

Women have the right to choose what to do with their bodies and or self. The most common phrase said is “My Body, My Choice” women have rights just like men do. We are surrounded by rights. We all must make choices in our lives based on what we believe is safe and best for ourselves at that time. Thus, women have that right to decide to have an abortion or not.

In 1965, illegal abortions made up one-sixth of all pregnancy and childbirth related deaths. Now, it has become one of the safest medical procedures in the U.S.- with a safety record of over 99%. The U.S. Supreme Court case Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) struck down a law that prohibited birth control. The Supreme Court held that the law violated the right to marital privacy. This case is important to feminism because it emphasizes privacy, control over one’s personal life, and freedom from government intrusion in relationships. Griswold v. Connecticut helped pave the way for Roe v. Wade. The case of Roe v. Wade began in 1970 when Norma McCorvey took federal action against the district attorney of Dallas, Texas, Henry Wade to ask: Does the Constitution embrace a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy by abortion?

To best understand the topic, it is best we look at both sides of the issue. Pro-Life or anti-abortion activists often argue that the fetus is a human immediately after fertilization, resulting in murder or killing innocent human beings. Pro-Choice or Pro- abortion activists often argue that regardless of the status of the fetus, women should have the right to choose what to do with their bodies. According to the National Abortion Federation on prochoice.org, abortion was common and openly used around the time of the creation of the constitution. In the mid-1800’s abortion became illegal state by state, the reasoning behind criminalization varied by state but it was believed there was a fear the population would be primarily children of immigrants rather that Anglo-Saxon women if abortion remained legal.

Once abortion was ruled protected by the Fourteenth Amendment it should not be debatable. Women have the right as humans to do with her body as she pleases. What is a human right? A human right is defined as a right that is believed to belong to every human being. Abortion is considered a human right because receiving the procedure falls within the right to privacy. Imagine a woman with a doomed fetus not having the right to abortion. A doomed fetus is one that will not survive outside the womb. She will be forced to carry that child to term and watch it perish. Forcing a woman to birth a child knowing it will not survive long is cruel and unusual punishment. Although, the woman has no choice but to abort her fetus, she will still be stigmatized and stereotyped as a “careless woman who only cares about

The battle for the legality of abortion is one that is highly debated and argued by pro-life and pro-choice believers. Pro-life are those who stand for the abolition of abortions; pro-choice, on the contrary, stand for its legality. Though many in both groups believe in a more blurred line of when exceptions should be made, in its entirety, they are on opposite ends of the abortion spectrum. With ever-changing moral and ethical standards, pro-choice challenges the pro-life debate with medical, sexist, and illogical arguments.

Abortion rights are one of the most heatedly debates in society. There are many arguments for and against abortion. Each woman has the right to an abortion and the right to have a child. Women have the resources, rights, and respect to make reproductive health decisions that are best for themselves. (“Women’s”) We live in a free country and women should continue to have the choice to do whatever with their body, concerning women’s rights, health issues, and religious reasons.

For my final paper I have decided to do a on the ethical and controversial issue of abortion. In this report I will cover both sides of the abortion issue. I will summarize the stands of both Pro-Life advocates and Pro-Choice, by presenting arguments from organizations, authors, and journal articles from each side. As well as give a brief history on abortion and a look at the laws that govern this issue not only here at home but around the world. In conclusion of my report I will give my views on the issue and on which side of the fence my beliefs put me on. So lets begin.

Abortion is not only a woman's right, it is a woman's choice. Allowing abortion to e legal is immoral. A pre-born child is given the status of a product of pregnancy and never seen as the miracle only a woman can create. Compassion for the small one is drowned out under a demand for rights, but what about the rights for the unborn.
