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 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.

If abortions were illegal, the death rate of women would increase due to unsafe black market abortions. 78,000 women have died each year since 1970 because of unsafe abortions. Whereas, legal abortions give women the chance to have a clean and safe abortion. There's also a higher rate of infection with unsafe black market abortions because there is no trained doctor in the practice of abortion. There is also other methods to abort a child like the day after pill. The day after pill works just like an abortion would. It causes the female to have a miscarriage. The day after pill will only work in a certain time frame though. Sometimes it is not the woman’s fault this is happening to

Abortion is protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, informed by the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments. Supreme Court views abortion as a “privacy right” and a “liberty claim”. In the 1973 landmark case Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court applied this constitutional principle of privacy and liberty to a woman's ability to terminate pregnancy. Basically everyone should get to have certain rights such as privacy to have an abortion without anyone finding out. The pros of having a “Privacy abortion” is nobody needs to know your story unless you tell them. Reproductive choice empowers women by giving them control over their own bodies giving them right or wrong. Women who receive abortions are less likely to suffer mental health problems

One of the most debated topics in America, since the landmark case Roe vs Wade, has been abortion. Abortion is “the determination of a human pregnancy ” (Bacon). There are two types of abortion. The first is medical and the second is surgical. A medical abortion is a pill usually taken by the women in weeks 2-10 of the pregnancy. The pill will cause cramps, and heavy bleeding. A surgical abortion is “ performed using what is called suction aspiration. The woman needs to be in her first trimester of pregnancy, which means 12 weeks pregnant or less” (Better Health). Some complications that occur during a surgical abortion are infections, excessive bleeding, and possible damage to the reproductive system. Abortion should be illegal because unborn babies should have the same rights as we all do. My belief is that life begins at conception and that every unborn baby should be given the chance to breathe outside the womb. Women should also not use abortion as a form of contraception when there is adoption available. According to ProCon.org, 2.6 million women living in America in 2002 were trying to adopt babies. After 1973, adoption rates dropped due to the legalization of abortion.

Despite people's beliefs and opinions about abortion, there has been vast scientific research according whether abortion is or is not murder. People have little understanding of what actually occurs during the process when pregnant. In fact, when it comes to gathering data by non scientific researchers, most will say that abortion is all evil and should be illegal. Questions such as: When does life begin, what is a human being, and what is considered murder? Many have different opinions when it comes to these topics. We conducted several surveys based off of people’s personal feelings about abortion during the first trimester and integrated it. Importantly, this research acknowledges scientific research, people with the knowledge and understanding

The United States has been making great strides in the closing of abortion clinics; alas, there

Abortion is a very controversial issue. It is something that people have always had their own opinions about, and many times that opinion will never change. Many people are shamed for their opinion about abortion and often times, people break into protests about abortion and other issues that may go along with abortion. There are two major sides o abortion, one side is that abortion is a terrible thing, it is immoral and should never be done, while the other side states that many abortions are done for a reason and that there is nothing wrong with them. Both sides of the argument have many reasons to back up their opinion.

Abortion is a medical process for terminating a pregnancy before the consequent birth of a baby. A pregnant woman can abort a child using either medications or minor surgeries. Most doctors prefer carrying out abortions before the pregnancy is 24 weeks old. It is possible but not advisable to carry out abortions after 24 weeks. Examples of circumstances that would warrant an abortion after pregnancy is more than 24 weeks old are if giving birth would pose a significant medical risk to the mother or if the unborn child will have severe disabilities. In the United States, The Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade (1973) allowed women to procure an abortion (Tyler & Mitchell, 1994). Therefore, abortion is an integral part of women's rights.

Weather abortion is okay or not, every woman deserves a chance to decide what’s best for themselves. Some people like Don Marquis, author of “An Argument that Abortion is Wrong” believe that abortion, except in rare circumstances is wrong no matter what (Marquis pg 141). Feminist believe that women should be treated equal, have equal pay, be respected and empowered (Bryan Par 3). Feminist ethics isn’t a single theory (Landau pg 275). It is a family of ethics that build on the belief that women’s interest and reasoning has been undervalued and that women deserve equal consideration (Landau pg 275).

The health care debate, the greatest challenge of the Obama and Trump Presidency, has abortion at its epicenter, and no one realizes this more than the White House. Since 2011, hundreds of anti-abortion legislative bills have been introduced and passed in the state legislatures across the country. They seek to regulate abortion in all kinds of creative ways, from bans on providing abortion via telemedicine, to mandating that clinics have local hospital admitting privileges, to requiring in-person follow-ups for patients two weeks after their medical abortion. They focus on details like room temperature, door width, and scrub and locker room setups for abortion clinics. But something that is often overlooked in the health of a woman after an abortion.

I chose this topic because it is a very important topic the world is trying to deal with. I have a very strong beliefs and the people that I know have very strong beliefs concerning abortion. Merriam-Webster dictionary describes abortion as, 1(“The termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus.”) 2(Abortion has been legal in the United States since 1973. From 1980 to 2013 abortions have caused the deaths in over 13 million deaths in the U.S. alone.) That is equal to the number of people Hitler exterminated in World War II.

Abortion is the utmost scandalous concern having no grounds of settlement among two polar sides. The argument is viability and mortality while the uncertainty of obstacles makes it problematic. Abortion is outlined as the “removal of the embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy” (Dictionary.com). An abortion rate has increased over the years due to the lack of sexual protection. Abortion is encircled by countless questions such as: Does the constitution endorse a right to abortion? Is a developing zygote considered a human? Should there be a law that permits abortion due to incest or rape? The United States Supreme Court Case of Roe vs. Wade in 1973, has made abortion legal in America. However, certain states are fighting to take away abortion rights in protection of the unborn child.

“I thought ‘a person is a person no matter how small.’ but apparently anything goes as long as it’s done within medical room walls.” –Samuel Daily. Abortion is murder and murder is wrong! Abortion kills people. A baby is a person and people do not magically disappear. Before they leave this world, they must somehow die. Most abortion cases do not happen due to “rape-babies” and the murder of a pregnant woman is double homicide in many states. Termination of a pregnancy is often performed by inhumane methods.
