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.

“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 is one of the most controversial topics and many argue that it's wrong, but I disagree, I am a strong supporter of abortions. An abortion is when a woman deliberately terminates a pregnancy, there are many medical methods used to perform an abortion. The techniques used for abortion have changed drastically over time and many cultures developed their own forms of abortions. Originally abortions were unregulated and many women performed abortions on themselves at home, which were very unsafe and many at home abortions resulted in injury or death. The two main methods of abortion as of right now are surgical and medical abortion, these are much safer than previous methods and rarely inflict any harm onto the woman. The surgical method is performed using a vacuum like device to empty the uterus of its content. The medical abortion can only be used early in a pregnancy and requires a woman to take a prescribed pill for the first seven weeks of her pregnancy.

In the 45th Federalist Papers, James Madison wrote, “the powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the state governments are numerous and indefinite.” In 1973, the Roe v. Wade ruling legalized abortion based on the constitutional right to privacy. This ruling declared abortion a right protected by the federal government as dictated by the Supremacy clause in Article VI of the United States Constitution. The Supreme Court's assertion of unlimited access to abortion as a federal concern violates states’ rights as it was wrongfully justified. Evidence offered by the fourteenth amendment, various court cases pertaining to abortion, and several philosophical arguments from renowned professors support the shift of the decision from federal to state power. Medical necessity is the only exception in which an individual should be granted unrestricted access to abortion.

Abortion is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, informed by the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments. Supreme Court views abortion as a “privacy right” and a “liberty claim”. In the 1973 landmark case Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court applied this constitutional principle of privacy and liberty to a woman's ability to terminate pregnancy. Basically everyone should get to have certain rights such as privacy to have an abortion without anyone finding out. The pros of having a “Privacy abortion” is nobody needs to know your story unless you tell them. Reproductive choice empowers women by giving them control over their own bodies giving them right or wrong. Women who receive abortions are less likely to suffer mental health problems

Voluntary abortion is one of the most controversial topics in the real world. Abortion is that act of removing a fetus/embryo out the womb of a woman. Many philosophers have developed their arguments for and against this certain issue. Don Marquis and Judith Thompson express their views through very extensive measures. After considering several sides, it is to conclude that abortion is an act of misfortune premature death; the deprivation of a natural lifespan and future.

Abortion is the practice of ending a pregnancy by the causing the death of the human fetus. In 1973, abortion was legalized in the United States because of the famous court case of Roe vs Wade. Roe was a single and pregnant woman who was battling the state of Texas where the law verbalized she was not sanctioned to have an abortion. Roe had won the case and abortion was legalized. Even though millions of abortions have been performed since 1973, the debate over whether it ever should have been legalized is vigorously argued by many Americans, as well as people of many other countries and cultures. The beliefs and opinions of these people are generally divided into two groups, those who call themselves pro-choice and those referring to themselves as pro-life. Pro-life argues that abortion should be legalized without the influence of regime or religion. Pro-life believes that unborn babies are human from the moment of conception and, ergo, abortion is immoral and efficaciously killing inculpable human beings. Albeit each side has valid points to argue, there is the long-term impact for the rights of the mother, the welfare of the child and the impact on society to consider. These factors pellucidly argue that abortion should remain licit and be resolute by the decision of the woman and the woman’s guardian.

Abortion has become a huge social issue in America,. But abortion has been a common practice dating back as far as 1821. During this time the laws that were passed made it hard for women to get abortions unless there life was in danger. by 1870 every state had antiabortion laws. Abortion at the time was not a capital crime and majority of the time the women where not prosecuted. As for aborsionest they only received a few years in prison. After the rise of death and injury from clandestine abortions Margret Sanger opened the first u.s. birth control clinic. Her reasons for doing so are from seeing women in a group going into questionable buildings know around the area for back alley abortions. Margret asked one of these women what went on in the buildings and she replied “ A quick examination, a probe inserted into the uterus and turned a few times to disturb the fertilized ovum and then the women was sent home. Usually the flow began next day and often continued for four to five weeks. Sometimes and ambulance carried the victim to the hospital for curettage and if she returned home at all she was look upon as a lucky women”. after opening her birth control clinic Margret was arrested for

Abortion is one of the many options when women get pregnant. This option has been around since the ancient times and has been studied by every culture at some time period. An abortion is taking the child out of the mother’s stomach before it is grown enough to live outside of the mother’s womb. There are many methods of getting an abortion. Some of the many different methods used for abortion are suction aspiration, saline injection, and prostaglandin chemical abortion. The most common type of abortion is suction aspiration. This procedure is a lot like a vacuum for the baby, it is sucked out of the mother’s womb but it also tears the baby apart. A miscarriage is a type of abortion but the mother cannot help that from happening, it is just

A deductive argument is an argument that is intended to be valid. It should provide a guarantee of the truth of the conclusion and provide the argument’s premises are true. The premises should therefore give a strong support for the conclusion such that if the grounds are true, then it is hard for the conclusion to be false (Rhodes, 2013). About abortion, many lives have been lost in the recent past. There has been a significant increase in the abortion percentage in the world with several the participants losing their lives in the process.

Removing an embryo or fetus from the uterus before it is prepared for birth results in the termination of a pregnancy, or commonly known as an abortion. The controversy of whether or not is should be legal is due to the different opinions of what is moral when it comes to the status of the fetus. Common questions such as, “Should the biological mother, biological father, or state have the final decision” or “Is aborting a six-month-old fetus comparable to killing a six-month-old child, or a 60-year-old man”, are the reason the idea abortion is a contentious topic. Some philosophers, like Don Marquis, agree that abortion is immoral because the potential person’s future of value is stripped away without their consent. Other philosophers, like Mary Anne Warren, believe that abortion is not immoral either because the fetus has yet to become a person. While some like Judith Jarvis Thomson, claim that abortions are morally permissible in very particular situations. Despite my immense love for infants, I agree that abortion is moral because of the ambiguity of what is human and what is a person.

“Surrounded by a phalanx of…self congratulatory men- and no women!- [George Bush] signed away a great deal of women’s power over their reproductive lives.” (The Ban on Partial-Birth Abortion Undermines Abortion Rights). For as long people can remember, men have had more power than women when it comes to rights. Should men with no uteruses really be able tell women what they can’t do with theirs? Although this should be an easy question to answer, many people feel that the government is deemed capable of telling women how to handle their pregnancies. Abortions are a very controversial subject; they can be considered either a life-eliminating or life-saving procedure, depending on who is asked. While there are definite cons of abortion, the pros and constitutional rights of a woman outweigh them; women should not be told what they can and cannot do with their bodies and the fetuses they have created. Abortions should be legal and easy to gain access to for the health, safety, and lives of all women.

For more than forty years, there is still much debate over whether or not abortion should be a legal option and it remains to split Americans. The US Supreme Courts choice on Roe v. Wade acknowledged the procedure for abortion as a “fundamental right” in January 22, 1973. The ethical issues are between pro-life and pro-choice, the debate if it should be legal or not.

The federal government should restrict abortions because abortions strips an American child of its rights to life, puts women’s lives in jeopardy, and allows Americans to have a way to desert the consequences of their actions. What is abortion? Abortion is the ending of pregnancy by deliberate removing a fetus or embryo before it can survive outside the uterus. Abortion is a very controversial topic that is hard to take a stand on. It is difficult to understand the loss of a fetus which hasn’t been born. On the other hand, studies show that most of unwanted pregnancies result in child abuse, whether it be physical or mental. Adoption is an option that should be considered before abortion is done. Abortion is morally and ethically wrong and should only be considered if it is medically necessary for the mother and child, or if the pregnancy is the result of sexual assault. Abortion is an extremely controversial issue because while some people are completely against abortions, others believe that a woman should have the right to choose.

Abortion is “The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy,” according to the definition. Abortion is performed when the embryo or fetus is not capable of life independently. You have a choice of either pro-life or pro-choice. These decisions are hard for most people, but my choice is pro-life. The opposing side would say murder is legal and okay. Although, women have rights to make their own decisions about their bodies, abortions are a easy way out of making mistakes and a way to make the “problem” go away.
