The Pros And Cons Of Abortion

Abortions became increasingly more common throughout the end of the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, even though, by 1900, abortion was prohibited by law throughout the U.S. unless two or more doctors agreed that an abortion was necessary to preserve the life of the pregnant woman (Sauer).

Abortion is killing innocent children and affecting the lives of many women across the United States. These actions speak words loudly saying, I don't want the child so I’m taking the easy way out and killing the baby. Abortion is just another excuse to not take responsibility for the actions you took. The United States should make abortion illegal. Abortion is wrong because there are many different options other than killing the baby, it is unsafe for the woman, and women that have had abortions live with that fact every day physically and emotionally.

Abortion has been around for thousands of years and was legal in the United States since the very beginning. First it became illegal throughout the 1880’s up until 1973. Although abortion was

Abortion has been around for ages. When it was banned in the US in the 1800s, it was justified by the eugenics movement and the US government as concern

“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 has been legal and commonly practiced from the time of the earliest settlers. By federal law, abortion is legal, although many states have their own individual regulations and restrictions. Various states began passing laws to make abortion illegal in the mid-to-late- 1800s for fear that they would become overpopulated with children of newly arriving immigrants (national abortion federation ).Even though abortions can hold many risks today, they were especially dangerous in the 1800s where hospitals and antiseptics were not common (national abortion federation). Hospitals were not as common back then and doctors had basic training. Doctors wanted to criminalize abortion so that untrained physicians etc. could not steal their patients.

The State didn't prohibit abortion until the 19th century, nor did the Church lead in this new repression. The U.S. followed Britain’s anti abortion law. By 1880, most abortions were illegal in the U.S., except those ``necessary to save the life of the woman.'' This changed in 1973.

Abortion rights are one of the issues that has been around since 1800’s and it was declared illegal after many deaths among women occurred, which was a result of complicated and illegal abortion. Decline in birth rates in late 1800’s was another reason to ban abortion. By the end of the 19th century in 1967 abortion was illegal in the United States. Abortion was and still is considered a crime according to some percent of people. Many people are still against abortion because

Before the Roe v. Wade ruling, abortion rights were banned or heavily restricted across American states. Most abortion law then was legislated and enacted in the 19 and early 20th centuries. At that point in time, the law was to be enforced to criminalize the performer rather than restrict the pregnant woman who desires the procedure. The main

Abortions were widely practiced before the 1800s by which most states had banned abortions unless it was to save a woman’s life. However, starting in the year of 1973 they started legalizing abortions which caused a lot of debate throughout the United States, whether abortions were constitutional or not. Since then, abortions are one of the many things that everyone has a different opinion on.

Abortion, started at about 1550 BC. This started happening, because mothers, had gotten pregnant and didn’t want their child to be born. It had been considered a crime, to get an abortion, and was usually punishable. Up to 1821, Connecticut became the first state to officially criminalize it. In addition, legal consequences began in 1845 when NY criminalized a woman’s participation in abortion. By 1965, all 50 states had outlawed abortion varying by state. That is why, I am against abortion.

Abortion was outlawed in the eighteenth century, and legalized in the nineteenth century. Ever since the Supreme Court legalized abortion, more than hundreds of abortions are performed daily. Abortion is a constant debate among pro-life and pro-choice. Not everybody believes or agrees with the same point of view. People argue pro-life or pro-choice, if it is murder or not, however, an abortion ends the pregnancy before giving birth thus ending the life of a living unborn child.

This causes women to be depressed, and feel bad about themselves. Scandinavian Journal of Public Health found that "Young adult women who undergo... abortion may be at increased risk for subsequent depression." Women who chose to get an abortion are 154% more likely to commit suicide than those who have a full term pregnancy. In some cases women are drugged through food or drink, causing them to lose their child. One case of this in 2007 in Maryland went as so, the boyfriend spiked his girlfriends drink with cattle hormone because he read that that could induce abortion in women. Both her and the unborn child survived, but think of how scared you would be to ever date again after that. More drugs are coming out all the time that can cause a women to have an abortion, this production needs to come to an end. Getting an abortion can harm your mental state of

In the 18 hundreds birth control was very difficult to come by. Abortion was frequently practiced in North America during the period from 1600 to 1900. Abortion was viewed as to be very socially unacceptable. During the 1860s a number of states in North America decided to pass anti-abortion laws. After 1860 stronger anti-abortion laws were passed and these laws were more vigorously enforced. This forced women into illegal abortion practices.

Abortion has been around since a lot of years in every inhabited corner of the globe. It has always been accepted as a means to prevent the suffering of both woman and potential child. It has been practiced widely in every society for many reasons including famine, war, poverty, overpopulation, or simply because a woman felt she was not ready for a child (Whitney 40). No one ever questioned a woman’s right to this procedure till the 1800’s. During this era of change people began to turn their attention in a new direction, the fetus. They began to protest abortion as cruel, inhumane, and murderous. Abortionists who were once revered and depended upon were scorned and threatened. Though abortions still happened with regularity, they were kept silent and seen as a matter of shame. “Over the next hundred years, public sentiment for fetus continued to rise until the inevitable happened in America during the early 40’s; Abortion was made illegal.” (Cohen 17). The pro-life supporters had succeeded in saving the lives of innocent babies who would have been slaughtered for the convenience of selfish, ignorant and irresponsible women. This new law had made women actually settle down and raise families or give birth to beautiful children. We all know that, it has been proven time to time throughout history that the human spirit will not allow prohibition. Something inside us feels the need to strike out at that, which restrains us and holds us from the
