The Pros And Cons Of Abortion

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.

One of the other main issues that are debated is denying the women their rights, some “felt that the government was encroaching on her rights by forcing her to either have a child she did not want or to travel to another state where she could obtain a legal abortion ”(“Abortion: To What Extent”). In 35 states, laws have passed that requires giving the patient counseling before the procedure. The counseling could include the information of the fetus abortion and health dangers to a woman. As said by the United States Supreme Court, no state could interfere with the choice of a woman to terminate her pregnancy at a point prior to viability. "States have constructed lattice work of abortion law, codifying, regulating and limiting whether, when

What is abortion? It is a process where women choose to end her pregnancy in other words she kills somebody. I strongly believe that abortion is murder, it is an unlawful act of taking somebody’s life, and it is a sign of immorality. Critics said that human life occurs at conception, but fertilized eggs used for in vitro fertilization are also human lives and those not implanted are routinely throw away, is this considered as murder. My answer would be yes. It is a murder. Critics or doctors refers unborn babies as “fetus”, “embryo” , “zygote” or “eggs”, this can be scientifically correct, but this does not change the fact: these unborn babies or in scientific language called “fetus” are little human beings who is being killed or “aborted”. Once the “fetus” is in women’s womb it is considered as human being. And to kill a human being is constitutionally and morally wrong. It will be considered as murder. Moreover I have heard people giving excuses for killing an innocent like “oh! I was not ready for it”, it was an unwanted pregnancy” or “we didn’t used protection”. If a person was not ready to be mom than at the first point they were pregnant for? Similarly what is the fault of that innocent baby if you didn’t use protection? Why people want to kill somebody innocent for their deeds? Hence, abortion is a murder and no one have moral right to kill somebody. Abortion decision is often made by minors, or young adults, who don’t have the maturity and enough life experiences to make good decision. There immaturity leads them to make wrong decision like abortion. Above mentioned point can be considered as weakest point. If a person is mature to have sex, than she is mature enough to make decision like abortion. Above mentioned myth is totally wrong because according to statistical data 46.3 of 25 years old or older women are involved in abortion whereas the women under the age of 19 are only 20.2%( morbidity and mortality weekly report). Anybody can argue against me that people at mature ages are more involved in abortions than “Women who are raped or victims of incest should not be forced to carry out a pregnancy. There is a fact that 1 in 3 women will be victims of sexual violence in her lifetime. So

“In 2013, 664,435 legal induced abortions were reported to CDC from 49 reporting areas. The abortion rate for 2013 was 12.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years, and the abortion ratio was 200 abortions per 1,000 live births.” (cdc.gov) Over half a million abortions in one year alone that happened in the U.S.A, and that does not even take into account the rest of the world. Abortion is the act of intentionally terminating a human pregnancy, usually done before the third trimester. The significant question is should abortion be sanctioned or should it be forbidden by law. Many argue that abortion is like murder and that it should be illegal, but the other view should not get overlooked. There are several pros and cons that sway each side of the argument, personally, I believe that the positives outweigh the negatives and that abortion should stay legal.

Abortion means termination of pregnancy – which is planned.as occurred since the beginnings of human societies. Usually,people did it in secret behind closed doors, privately, and without government knowledge or interference. Whether an abortion is safe for the woman involved, the woman often depends on the skill of the practitioner, the cleanliness of the procedure, and the health and safety of the woman as she recovers (Dagg, 57). Abortion procedures vary with the stage of gestation, and the later the stage of gestation, the riskier the procedure for the person involved (Condit, 45). Every single year the number of abortions increase by 0.3. The number of moral and ethical considerations on the problem of abortions can be considered from a variety of perspectives that include economic, medical, social, and religious. However, it will lead to a number of negative affects toward pregnant women’ health, and social as too.

Abortion is a topic many Americans have a stance on. Ever since the decision to legalize abortion in the Roe vs Wade case, people have debated on whether or not abortion should be legal. Throughout the controversy, there have been two stances people have reached. The first stance is pro-Life. They believe that the baby's life is valuable and that it has the same right to life as it’s mother. The other stance is pro-choice. The believe it is the mother's choice on whether or not she gets an abortion. Based on my morals and values, I believe that abortion is wrong.

The abortion debate has been controversial in the US for decades. Several debates have occurred on whether to legalize abortion or not. Those who are pro-abortion indicate that abortion is a good act since the mother has the right make personal choices. However, individuals who are against abortion assert that abortion is an evil practice as it leads to life termination. It is a form of murder, and it limits the right of the fetus to live. Despite the numerous controversies about abortion, the US has legalized abortion though there are some strict conditions that women must meet to do the abortion. I am of the opinion that abortion is a wrong act that should not be practiced in the society. The paper presents the core reasons why abortion is inappropriate.

Many times, people play to the ignorance and the attitude of the society in which we live. In other words, although something may be lawful, it does not mean that it is right. 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.

Of all the topics that deal with people's moral standards and his or her beliefs; with that being abortion beings legal is a touchy subject that a a lot of people do not want to talk about. Abortion is a subject that everyone has an opinion about, but only a handful truly know all that laws that are in place for women it get abortions. In the past couple of years, abortion limitations on the state level have made fetus removal harder to access and harder to manage, making it similarly as out of reach to numerous ladies as it would be on the off chance that it were by and large unlawful. Individuals who are pro-choice have since a long time ago contended, fetus removal bans don't stop premature birth to such an extent as drive it underground. Abortion should only be legal for women who have been raped, she is having health issues, or the fetus is damaged.

How would you feel when someone literally took away your life away? Imagine yourself without any decision whether you should live or die. well, many babies don't that privilege to choice if they want to be alive or dead because it was based on the decision of the mother. If the pregnant woman decides she wants to abort her baby, they can't do anything about it, because they are too young to have a voice. The future will be destroyed in a mother hand. I believed that abortion happen was based on the selfish decision of a mom.

Abortion, the subject that has raise many debates and protests around the world. As Pop Francis said, and Marquis seems to agree to it, “The right to life is the first among human rights.” However, they are believer such as Margaret Sanger and Reiman, that argue women should have control of their body, consequently, abortion is ethically permitted. There are extremes in both sides of the abortion debate, and the discussion of Reiman as an extreme believer and Marquis moderate views, as he believes abortion can have some exception will be presented. After presenting these philosophers arguments, my point of view will be express and the similarity to Marquis argues.

A woman's right or a child's right? Abortions have been a controversial topic over the last decade debating whether or not it is right to terminate a pregnancy. “Abortions first became legal in 1973 and 800,000 abortions occurred in that year alone”( Juettner 17). The process is when the fetus or embryo is removed from the uterus premature or mature. Women can come into a clinic and receive a medical or surgical abortion. People agree that the Pro-choice campaign gives the mothers rights to do what they want with their body and unborn children, while the Pro-life campaign displays that the child has rights and that abortion is murder. The future solution to abortion is having greater access to contraception by and encouraging the birth parents into adoption.

Whether an abortion should be legal has been argued for years. It has become political and even personal at times. People discuss morality and parental rights, but do they ever truly consider the rights of the unborn? Everybody has his opinion on abortions. Some people think they are wrong and some people don’t find anything wrong with them. Abortion is wrong and should be banned.

According to studentsforlife.org, nearly 1 in 4 (22%) of pregnancies end in abortion. Although those numbers seem high, the statistics rise. Approximately ⅓ of American women have had an abortion by the age of 45.₁ There are multiple aspects of abortion that are popular in debate. With religion playing a massive role in global functioning, it becomes one of the most popular arguments. Another topic widely discussed would be the emotional impact of having an abortion. Lastly, legal and ethical debates are highly favored discussions. Although some may attempt to justify the act of abortion, there are many reasons it should not be tolerated.
