The Pros And Cons Of Abortion

There are two main political parties you can choose from in the United States, The Democrats and the Republicans. There are also third parties you can choose from. People can choose to be part of any party. We are divided by the left and right side on the political spectrum. The right are more conservative and the left are more liberal. These two political parties show philosophical differences through their viewpoints on major topics. With so many differences between the parties, finding topics or issues upon which constituents agree on can be difficult.

It is more substantial than ever, to honor through words as well as through actions, that the right of women is to access their complete reproductive health choices with the dignity they deserve. Abortion is an effective individual decision within the health care field, and it’s a choice that should ultimately be appropriate for every woman who might not be physically, mentally, and economically capable enough of bringing a child into the world. “Though women have been endowed with the gift of bearing a life form, an abortion gives them the option whether they want to avail the present or not” (Finer and Joanna). Therefore, abortion should not be prohibited because it’s a reproductive right, and it reduces the numbers of homeless babies, and might reduce the crime rates.

“How can the “Dream” survive if we murder children? Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother. The mother decides his or her fate” (Martin Luther King, Jr). This quote, by Martin Luther King Jr, represents how Martin Luther King Jr really feels about abortions, and how abortions relate back to the idea of slavery. As abortions are spreading all across the world many people have wondered if there are any positives to abortions? If there are not any positives to abortion then people may wonder, what are the negatives to abortions, and how do other people feel about abortions.

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

Each person, man or woman has a right to their own body. A woman has a right to dictate what happens to her own body and the right of self-preservation. Judith Jarvis Thomson stated that “Some [anti-abortionists] won’t even make an exception for a case in which continuation of the pregnancy is likely to shorten the mother’s life; they regard abortion as impermissible even to save the mother’s life” (Thomson, 2013, p. 298). These anti-abortionists renounce abortion even if it threatens the life of the woman, they see more value in the fetus than the woman.

Abortion is a subject that numerous people have strong opinions about; some believe that it is a form of murder and should be banned, yet others believe that the decision should be for the woman herself to make. In my eyes, the choice to abort or not abort is the woman’s, not the public’s. However, many men disagree with pro-choice.

But we need to treat that as it is: people taking something optional and forcing it upon others. This happens with many cases but we don’t hold the action at fault. Those inhumane people are the big problem. Abortions have a practical use for those who want them. Some women chose to take that route because it is what they think is best. It is a personal choice and, since it is not outlawed, it is an option open to a woman to use. If abortion centers become illegal some women will still get abortions. But they will be forced to get potentially unsafe and unprofessional operations that could seriously take a detrimental effect on their health. Getting an abortion is taking your own risk with the procedure, but getting one isn’t significantly more potentially dangerous as any other similar operation. But also a point to consider is that giving birth also has risks to the mother and baby. Maternal death is a problem that does happen and the mother has to consider. If the mother is informed that her mortality rates would be too low when giving birth, she might decide not to take the risk and get an abortion. Whatever the reason a woman has to get an abortion; her decision is made and she should be able to get the care she needs. Because if it is not your body, then should you really have an opinion on what happens to

Every 3 minutes, 9 innocent babies will have been aborted in the U.S. alone. Approximately 93% of women state they have abortions due to ‘social reasons’(inconvenient, unwanted), and less than 1% of abortions occur due to rape/incest. On behalf of the decision of the Roe v. Wade ruling, which made abortion legal during all nine months of pregnancy in 1973, there have been 56,993,299 documented abortions. “In 2000 [alone], more children died from abortion than Americans died in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf Wars combined” (“Abortion Statistics”). Being pro-life should be the only option for women due to homicide, health risks, and the violation of civil and human rights.

Pro-choice vs pro-life (abortion) is a huge moral issue that is still a problem today. There are many sides to whether or not women should have the right to receive an abortion. Abortion is defined as “termination of pregnancy before the fetus is viable” (CITATION). Many women face problems where abortion is the right choice for them, but still feel obligated to have the child. For example, if they’re in an abusive relationship: she should not have the child in fear of him/her growing up with nothing but abuse in the household. (S)he will most likely grow up to have anxiety and depression. Abortion is an issue that needs to be fixed. Women should have the right to do what she wants with her own

In people’s minds, abortion is one of many solutions to get rid of a baby that is not wanted or it’s not the right time to raise a baby; it is also one of the most controversial issues of our time. Abortion has it’s own effects on people and society mostly in a bad way. Church and other religious groups are against abortion, while others in our society are supporters. There are some options other than abortion to solve this issue, such as: adoption, teen parenting, and more. “How many more women will be exploited, injured or killed by abortion? More than 4,000 women choose to abort every day. That’s about 1.5 million abortions each year.” (lovematters.com).

According to the article “Are Abortion Rights Threatened, 2013” over fifty million infants, died in 2012 before they even stepped foot into this world, due to abortion. To clarify abortion is the termination of the fetus in the mother’s womb typically by chopping up the baby into pieces with a knife, cracking its skull and vacuuming out its brains, or with the drug RU-486. As a result, abortion is one of the most common and cruel cause of death in the United States, yet the government has legalized this practice. Moreover, there are other measures that can be taken if a women feels she needs an abortion including adoption and financial aid. Therefore, women should not choose to abort her baby, because it is immoral and harmful

The termination of a pregnancy has remained a topic of debate throughout the country for the last few decades. All women must have the access to abortion in order to reach their full potential of freedom and equality and to avoid other medical conflicts. The conception of a child is not always planned and may have occurred from rape or incest in some cases. In that situation the women would want to abort the child because it is a product of a traumatizing experience and can create psychological torment on the mother. In some cases women are not fit for motherhood. They may be too young and not educated which will lead to limited job opportunities, and having a child causes disruption to their lives. Many young women, who become sexually active and become pregnant, are not ready for the responsibility of a child. They may still have their education left or in need of a job. In that case, having the responsibility of a child is unrealistic and difficult. If abortion is not legal, that does not mean that the act of terminating a pregnancy will end. In many cases, there have been women and doctors illegally committing abortion procedures. Many women attempt to terminate the pregnancy on their own when not allowed to due to their own reasons. It is very necessary to give women these rights and it is vital for gender equality. By allowing women to have control over their own body, the women can reach their full potential. Society must be reminded constantly that women are human with the right to freedom and the conscience to make informed decisions, and not just a body carrying a fetus. Its must be the woman's choice to decide what to do with her pregnancy.

Just as no two women are the same, no two pregnancies are the same. Although it should be the choice of all women on whether or not an abortion is the best thing for them, there are certain cases where having the option of abortion are essential. It is possible for women to become pregnant through tragedies such as assault and abuse. Having a child that comes from assault and abuse would not only put victims in an unsafe position, but also would threaten the safety of the child. Forcing a woman to “carry” the aftermath of an assault could act as an emotional trauma and puts huge levels of stress on pregnant victims. During pregnancy it is also possible for abnormalities to occur which can drastically affect or inhibit the health of the fetus. Judge Horner of Northern Ireland stated: “In the case of a [fatal fetal abnormality], there is no life to protect. When the fetus leaves the womb, it cannot survive independently. It is doomed. There is no life to protect.”₄ There are people who wish to make women complete pregnancies that yield no chance of survival for the fetus or child long-term, simply because the idea of an abortion opposes their beliefs. There are no benefits that accompany carrying a pregnancy to term when the pregnancy stems from an act of violence, or is not

The only thing keeping abortion legal is women’s rights and freedom to make your own decisions concerning one’s own life. You must be accountable for your own actions and not take the easy way out of a hard situation. Some women view abortion as escaping their problems, when they need to face reality. “If they notice a pregnancy, they'll go to the hospital. It sounds very easy; however, it sounds that they lack responsibility for their behavior” (Kuroda). The one factor that is

Despite people's beliefs and opinions about abortion, there has been vast scientific research according whether abortion is or is not murder. People have little understanding of what actually occurs during the process when pregnant. In fact, when it comes to gathering data by non scientific researchers, most will say that abortion is all evil and should be illegal. Questions such as: When does life begin, what is a human being, and what is considered murder? Many have different opinions when it comes to these topics. We conducted several surveys based off of people’s personal feelings about abortion during the first trimester and integrated it. Importantly, this research acknowledges scientific research, people with the knowledge and understanding
