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.

Abortion is an intentional termination of a pregnancy during the first twenty-eight weeks. The debate of whether or not abortion should be legalized has been a key political topic for years. Based upon a survey done by the Pew Research Center, as of September 22, 2014 “a majority of Americans (55%) express the opinion that abortion should be legal in all or most cases; four-in-ten say it should be illegal in all or most cases.”(Abortion, n.p.). Abortion should be legalized based upon the mothers’ medical circumstances, for the fact that abortion is not a threat against the mental health of patients, and to the rights of privacy and bodily integrity of females must be kept. Moreover the religious views of others should not be taken as a factor against a person’s decision for 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.

Abortions^are^one of the^many controversial topics within the United States today. As defined by the 2016 Merriam-Webster dictionary, an abortion is, “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28^weeks of pregnancy.” Abortions have and will always be and will probably always be an opinionated topic.^Within^all^of^the controversy, two groups have emerged. These two groups are referred to as pro life and pro choice. According to Gale Opposing Viewpoints in Context, those individuals who support pro life believe your life begins at conception, that being the case, abortion in any stage of the pregnancy is murder. They believe that any stage of life is valuable^and the^life of the^unborn baby has the same^rights as the mother. However,^Pro-choice supporters^believe that it is the woman’s right to^choose what she may do^with her own^body.

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.

As mentioned in the previous paragraph, the procedures used to perform late term abortions are both safe and humane. It should be noted that there are mainly two procedures used, D&E(dilation and evacuation) and D&X (dilation and extraction). To understand why there is much debate about the humaneness of these two procedures, especially the D&X procedure, one has to comprehend what these procedures entail. “D&E is a procedure that may require, if the pregnancy is sufficiently advanced, the use of a forceps to dismember the fetus and extract it in pieces,”(Ballaro). Interestingly enough, this procedure which would seem like the one to cause an uproar is more accepted by the prolife movement than that of the D&X procedure. ”The D&X procedure is when the fetus is removed intact from the womb. It takes two to three days while

Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. The definition of abortion is “the termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion of the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth.” Many individuals view it as immoral and even consider it to be murder, while others believe in the idea that the woman has the right to choose what she wants to do with the fetus. The debate on the topic of abortion has been cast in terms of pro-life and pro-choice views, but it is clearly a much more complex issue.

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

Now abortion has become a safe and quick procedure and does not affect neither the mother or the baby life’s that’s what proponents believe “Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures performed in the United States” (‘Should Abortion Be Legal?”). Easy access to abortion could prevent dangerous situations and safeguard the health of a woman. Abortions are less likely to lead to mental health problems. Some women “felt more regret and anger” (“Should Abortion Be Legal?”). The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AMRC) meant that women who denied abortions felt so many emotions. Having access to legal abortions reduces the amounts of injuries and death caused by the unsafe causes of illegal abortions, “back-alley” (“Should Abortion Be Legal?”). Daniel R. Mishell meant that before the abortion was legalized a woman would frequently try to include the abortions by using coat hangers, knitting needles, or radiator flush. Additionally, abortion gives the right to the mother to have a choice on not bringing fetal abnormalities to the full

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

Society can be so judgmental no matter what you do someone will always have a different way of viewing it than you do, or you’re not doing it the way everyone think it should be done so you’re instantly “Judged”. Whatever you do in life make it be for yourself, always make the decision you think needs to be made because whatever the decision is nobody else will have to live with either the mistake or the lesson learned but you.

The word, abortion has currently flooded every single corner of the social media and hence, it is no surprise that we are seeing this word everywhere. Abortion is a medical method used to end a pregnancy and terminate the fetus that has formed in a female’s uterus. According to an Internet dictionary called Merriam-Webster, the definition of abortion is the termination of a pregnancy that results in the death of the embryo or fetus as a spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation.

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
