Bertha, M. (2014). Pro-Life, Pro-Choice : Shared Values in the Abortion Debate. Nashville: Vanderbilt University Press. https://fortlewis.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search- ebscohost-com.fortlewis.idm.oclc.org/login.aspx?direct=true&db=edspmu&AN=edspmu.9780826519924&site=eds-live&scope=site Throughout this book, Bertha claims that she is for pro choice, but at the end of the reading, she states that she has changed her beliefs to pro life. This specific author performed studies, exams, courses, and clinicals and discovered the facts about the harm that takes place to your body after having an abortion. Bertha discusses the hard, mental griefs and traumas that follow the procedure, as well as the uneasy argument about the virtuous worth of the human fetus. The author brings experience to the discussion through the psychological department, being an Associate Professor of Philosophy in the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University, as well as having written many informative and knowledgeable articles.

Amber is an 18 year old woman who has found she is feeling sick and unusual. She comes to find out that she is pregnant and consults her doctor. Being concerned of her student status and what her parents might think are her biggest fears. The fetus growing inside her is almost 11 weeks and has her own story from the inside. Mentioning all of the growth that has occurred and the development milestones she has reached, the fetus is concerned of her own well being. The doctor offers Amber the options of abortion and adoption, and then the heart beat will be heard. It is unclear what Amber’s choice is in the end.

The goal of Judith Jarvis Thomson in her defense of abortion is to sway the ideas of those who are against abortion by challenging the arguments they give for thinking so. She begins by stating a premise. “For the sake of the argument” a human embryo is a person. This premise is one of the arguments most opponents of abortion use, but as she points out, isn’t much of an argument at all. These people spend a lot of their time dwelling on the fact that the fetus is a person and hardly any time explaining how the fetus being a person has anything to with abortion being impermissible. In the same breath, she states that those who agree with abortion spend a lot of their time

In closing, Alexandra Tsiara had very helpful details that anyone should know about conception to birth. If I knew of anyone that was thinking about getting an abortion, which is terrible to begin with, I would direct them to this video. Maybe after someone watched this video, they would learn to be wise when being together. It is definitely a helpful reality that I needed to know for when I become a mother

Abigail Goodman, a forty one year old mother and professor at Hilden University, finds herself pregnant for a third time. She believes that abortion is the best option for her case so she decides to terminate one of her own. A few weeks later, She goes on trial and although abortion is legal, she finds herself fighting. Abigail is arrested and is held under a law that makes abortion an offense. In the trial that follows she finds herself fighting for her right to abortion. The book addresses that Abigail goodman was “accused of murder”(Fast 1) for slaughtering her own baby and in many real cases we can seen as the same. Many times, the pro choice army has argued that abortion is murder or slaughter evidently supported by the fact that there are brain waves at 3 weeks and that life does begin at conception. (Source 5) the supporters of life Abigail was found in violation of sections 156 and 157 (Fast 8) which resulted in her arrest. Many may argue that “Women are denied rights that are given to men” (Fast 58) but this is not true. However, the act of abortion is taught as a movement against the feminist revolution with deep economic roots, demonstrating a reason for the major support of the practice (Fast 57). Abigail continues to argue that if men were capable of conception, there would be no argument of choice. There no privacy. (Fast

The way that Judith Jarvis Thomson explains reasons why the decision to abort, should be made by the woman, and why that woman should have total control of her own body in A Defense of Abortion is ingenious. She tells a story, that I believe, could make any pro-life believer second guess themselves. {Ethics in Practice: An

For many years, abortion has been vexed issue in the United States that conjures strong emotions on both sides. It is a moral issue that tears some people into two groups Pro-life and Pro-choice. Those who are Pro-life state that no matter what the reason behind it, such violent action is murder and should not be executed. On the other hand, the Pro-choice advocates are more respectful of women's rights to take such action; they believe it is their own personal decision since they are the ones who are going to take care of the child, not the law or morality. Despite society's evolving moral standards, the controversy surrounding abortion and women’s' rights still divides our nation. So why did I visit a Planned Parenthood for the first time in my life? Because I was confused as to what is the real face of the people gathered outside the abortion clinic was.

When you enter the room, the room is bright and you could hear the doctor in the background along with some voices of nurses, all sounding female. The procedure went well but was incredibly painful, then the doctor will call you later to hear the results. After three days after the procedure, the doctor called saying that he packed your uterus to prevent hemorrhaging, and it must be pulled out. Who is that woman you asked? That woman is feminist author/activist Carol Downer, who had an abortion back in the days before the legalization of the Roe vs. Wade court case. For some women today thinks that the old days of abortion were easy. What they may not know is that they were difficult, scary, traumatic, and personal experiences that can cause health problems later in life. Women born in the U.S. after the late 1950s never lived through a time when abortion was illegal. But an more of them are experiencing the same hardships that women had before the Roe v Wade case, a desperate answer to end an unwanted pregnancy, agonizing over endless reasons not to bring an unwanted child into the world, but they are discovering they may have several if not, many then they think.

One example of Jennifer’s stance on abortion is shown when she goes to church for one of the first times. “When she sees an abortion poster she debates how God can good and so pro life”. This shows how Jennifer starts to doubt her belief in God because he doesn't agree with all the church’s teaching. Another example of Jennifer struggling with religion because abortion is when she leaves church with a abortion pamphlet. “When jennifer leaves church she refuses to read the abortion pamphlet and throws it on the floor”. This shows how stubborn jennifer is with her beliefs and how she refuses to open her mind the teachings of the church.

The Walls are Talking by Abby Johnson is an important book that every person considering abortion should read. As the women in the book account the tales of their abortions it is hard for the reader not to be horrified by the grotesque and dangerous actions taking place in abortion clinics. The Walls are Talking not only terrifies the reader of the true nature of abortion but also makes them empathize with the emotional turmoil that these women are thrown into. This can be seen particularly in one of the stories where a woman who already had nine abortions asked to see the ultrasound of her baby being aborted. The sight of her baby’s murder was so powerful that she decided she would no longer advocate for abortion.

Thesis: John is an unreliable narrator because he lies to his parents, smokes and drinks, and breaks his promise with Mr.Pignati. One reason that John is an unreliable narrator is because he lies to his mother and father. When John was on the phone with a friend, his father called the house.

After discussing this narrative in class I had a better understanding of it. Our class discussion not only refined my understanding of the topic of abortion in the story, it made me

Equally important is the use of symbolism, as the lady who had been screaming while holding her arm was a representation of a mother holding her dead baby; her face looking traumatised, feeling helpless and nothing to do but to cry aloud. This original implementation of symbolism reveals to the audience the likelihood that the films' setting is in a future where the loss of babies is an ongoing phenomenon and that this was the reason as to why everyone had been

For the sake of the story, it had to lean towards pro-life; however, the interpretation depends individually by either, seeing it as half-full or a half-empty. The film portrays unrealistic setting of abortion clinic in a comical way. The front desk clerk had a look of heavy metal fanatic with all the piercing on the face and unfriendly attitude. Because of that initial setting Juno gets nervous, followed by indifference by people in the waiting room resulting hastily retreating from the clinic without any consultation with the doctor properly (Reitman; NYT). If the viewers watch it as entertainment purpose, it’s funny with visual and attitude exaggeration of the scenes. Unfortunately, shown in school for educational purpose, in sex-education class as an example, it symbolically raises the issue of pro-choice as uncivilized and fails to cover the importance of consultation in proper procedure. Getting pregnant is a critical issue alone, but this movie takes the issue one step further and brings a question of an abortion or an adoption. Juno decides not to go through with abortion, and luckily the whole movie falls into the right place at the end (Reitman). However, this is not the case in real life. The film needed to focus on pro-life for the transition of the movie, but the depiction leans too much towards one side for the movie to be used as school curriculum.

In “We Do Abortions Here: A Nurse’s Tale” by Sallie Tisdale, the readers are given a reflection on the experience of working as a registered nurse in an abortion clinic. In the text, Tisdale is very descriptive of how it is like to work in an abortion clinic through the use of imagery. Tisdale portrays a certain level of disconnectedness to the whole procedure itself in how she uses strictly scientific language in order to give insight as to how the procedure is carried out, along with providing thoughts and feelings based on observation, internally. On the other hand, in “The Condition of Black Life Is One of Mourning” by Claudia Rankine, it is started off with a mother, having just given birth, already fearing the day her son could be
