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 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.

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.

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.

Of course when making any decision it is important to critically think out the whole situation. It is very important to not make irrational decisions. In order to help make the best decision the pros and cons should be taken into consideration. The pros of having an abortion could be but not limited to, being unable to financially afford a child. There may be health risk for the woman so an abortion may save a life. The pregnancy may have been a result of violent crime or assault. “The 'Hyde Amendment' refers to an amendment first offered by Rep. Henry J. Hyde in 1976 to the Departments of Labor and Health, Education, and Welfare, Appropriation Act, 1977. The amendment restricted the use of appropriated funds to pay

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.

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.

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.

Abortion is a very controversial topic that not everyone can speak freely about without getting offended or offending others’ personal views and beliefs. Before 1973 abortion was illegal unless the mother’s life depended on that of the abortion. Women had to go through unsafe and unprofessional means to have an abortion preformed. It wasn’t until 1973, when The U.S Supreme Court sided with Roe, in Roe v. Wade. In the words of Planned Parenthood, “… the court recognized for the first time that the constitutional right to privacy “is broad enough to encompass a woman’s decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.” (Roe v. Wade, 1973) Pro-choice allows women to have a voice, the power to choose and the opportunity to for once decide for themselves. For the most part abortions take place in the first trimester, adoption is not always an alternative and in some cases of rape or incest an abortion is called for. This is why pro-choice should not be over turned despite what pro-lifers advocate.

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.

Many will say that they are pro-life, while others would say they are pro-choice. When it comes down to abortion, there are many arguments and fights about which is right and which is wrong. There is no way to justify what is right and what is wrong because, abortion is neither right or wrong. There are so many factors into why someone would get an abortion. For instance, if they were raped and ended up pregnant, if they financially can’t support the child, or if they physically cannot have the child.

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.

The abortion of a human infant has been so controversial that the prohibition of its process had slowly begun to lose its course. While abortion may be highly controversial in reference to the morality and free will of the human individual, the background and results of such actions are the main ingredients for political, moral, and social chaos in the protest of the free will to make such decisions to take an infant’s short life. This ethical dilemma is one of major political issues that modern-day politicians are having more difficult times attempting to put certain regulations for. This is resulting in the political and judicial debate on whether or not a person has the constitutional right to terminate another person’s life. If I were a politician or Supreme Court Justice, I would have to take
