The Pros And Cons Of Abortion In America

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.

The debate on the issue of abortion began with a Supreme Court ruling in 1973, overturning the previous American policy of banning abortions. At the time of this ruling, it was believed by President Nixon that banning abortions was not necessarily the wisest course of action, due to different circumstances of pregnancy, such as pregnancy resulting from rape, or the ability to for a doctor to see whether a child is developing in a healthy manner. The paper will analyze this issue with a focus on the pro-life movement, and will detail how this movement began, how it has grown and how it continues to affect American society.

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.

Abortion is a very controversial topic in today’s society. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks (Abortion). Many people have issues regarding this topic, while some support the idea. This paper will be covering the pros and cons, people’s attitudes, and how a researcher could possible change your perspective on the topic at hand.

Pro-life versus pro-choice has always been a controversial issue due to religious reasons and our countries constitutional rights. The woman’s right to have a say on her pregnancy has slowly progressed throughout our countries history, while only allowing women the right to make their own choice on whether or not to keep their unborn child within the past 50 years. “The 1973 Roe v. Wade decision guaranteed a woman 's right to an abortion,” states Judith S. Baughman, editor of American Decades. However, this was not always the case and still causes controversy among many people living in America due to religious reasons.

I hold the belief that a woman should have the right to have an abortion if that is what she would like. This means I identify as a pro-choice supporter. If the government ever decide to illegalize abortion, it would mean that women do not 'own' their body and instead the lawmakers do. As soon as a third party, such as lawmakers, are given the power to decide that abortions are wrong and they decide to ban abortions, women are no longer in control of their own bodies which makes them powerless.

In 1973 the Roe V. Wade case set of the change of the way abortions are given and used. But now that laws are being reinforced, the rights gained may be thrown out in just a few years. Abortion is a medical procedure given to women to terminate a pregnancy that can be given at eight weeks and up to twenty-four weeks. The procedure is mostly used by women who need it for medical issues, if they aren’t prepared for their pregnancy or other personal reasons. Abortion wasn’t illegalized until 1803 in Britain where the first abortion law was passed.The United States followed this trend and by 1880 most abortions were illegal in the U.S. One of the first cases that involve abortions was Griswold vs. Connecticut “Griswold vs. Connecticut” in 1965.

Abortion in the United States is a major topic of debate in United States politics. People today frequently hear the terms pro-choice and pro-life, which represent the liberal and conservative views on this issue, respectively. First made illegal in the late 1800s, the federal government did not rule that abortion was legal again until the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision in 1973. Despite this ruling, citizens still fight for women’s ability to terminate their pregnancies as they face legislature that is making it increasingly harder to do so in the United States. The events surrounding the Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973, its causes and effects, were sparked by differences in ideologies and views about how abortion should be handled by

Reproductive rights are a very critical and controversial issue in today’s world. What a woman does for her body would appear to ultimately be her own decision and a very private mater but this is not always the case. As women, it is important to remember that the reproductive rights we now have can be easily taken away. Some people take for granted the openness to birth control, condoms, and abortion. President Bush has initiated policies since coming into office that threaten women’s choices.

“2016 is the year of realizing things” -Kylie Jenner; as election day approaches the US people have a major task upon them, choosing between Mrs.Clinton or Mr.Trump. Both candidates have their pros and cons, mostly cons but one will become president. And both have really different thoughts on all controversial topics. Abortions are a big issue among women in the US. Most conservative states/people believe that it should be banned and illegal in the US, while liberal states believe that women have a right to their bodies and can decide on what to do if in situation.

In the research of the federal abortion policy overview it is stated and it’s in the process to be confirmed, “In the United States, the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision made abortion legal in every state in 1973.” They stated there pros and cons of abortion and giving why it’s right to get an abortion to a child that is growing in a women’s womb. I disagree with this policy because a life is being taken away without giving a chance to live.

Nowadays, abortion has become a controversial issue because people are becoming more aware of the issue that abortion brings to society and the individual who is going through the abortion .In recent years, however, society has become very open-minded, and as a result pro-life and pro-choice groups have been able to sway the American public’s view of abortion. Abortion became legal in 1973 when Roe vs. Wade declared that a woman has the right to choose if she wishes to continue with her pregnancy or if she wishes to terminate it. After 38 years of legalization, issues have become prominent and many Americans are becoming pro-life followers and because of this many pro-life groups want Roe vs. Wade to be overturned. Therefore, Roe vs. Wade

The debate on whether or not to make abortion legal has been an ongoing conflict since Roe v Wade. On January 22,1973, The Supreme Court made abortion legal in the United States.This decision held that a woman, with her doctor, could request an abortion without legal restriction. State restrictions could be applied in later trimesters. There are usually two sides in this debate. Those who believe in pro life and the others that believe in pro choice. Although another question arises, is there a blurred line between being pro life and being pro choice. Are you able to be both or is the line straight and clear. I myself would have to be in the percentage of people that stay in the blurred lines not teetering on both sides but proudly standing on both.

Inherently, the idea of reason and emotion have direct association with faith. It can be seen with the connection of reason with religious knowledge systems and the altercations they cause to our belief, changing our emotion and reason behind a situation. For instance, currently there is a quarrel between Christians and the United States government in legalizing abortions, and their reasoning as to why it should not be legalized directly manifests itself within religious ideology. As seen in The Bible Psalm 127:3, "Truly children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a reward,” and in other examples, this religious group has crystallized their opinion on abortion using the word of their God as justifiable, however is this valid?
