`` What I Saw At The Abortion ``

The issue of abortion has always been a controversial one for citizens of the United States. Abortion is the practice of terminating a pregnancy after the embryo has been planted in the uterus (Abortion). An individual’s stance on this controversial issue categorizes them into one of two very different groups. An individual who feels that a woman should not have an abortion- due to moral or religious views- is said to be “pro-life”. Coincidently, those who feel that a woman should have the right to choose abortion are said to be “pro-choice”. “Pro-life” supporters point to the practice of abortion as an immoral one. Supporters state abortion is immoral because it takes away the rights of the unborn fetus, since activists consider human

The topic of abortion is one of the most controversial and sensitive for the society and myself. The debates and confrontations between two opposite groups of opinion are long and sometimes even brutal. Both sides have strong supporting arguments: pro-lifers base on moral principals, which is life before birth, while pro-choicers defend political and social rights, such as right to privacy and right of choice. Neither side can be absolutely right or wrong; basically it is a matter of personal opinion. Mine is that although the abortion is originally wrong, in many cases it must be a legal option.

Out of all modern social controversies, perhaps the most heated controversy is that of abortion. In today’s society you are either a Pro-life or a Pro-choice, there is not a middle ground. Pro-life are individuals who believe abortion is immoral and should be stop for the wellbeing of women and unborn babies. In contrast, the Pro-choice individuals do not necessarily promote abortion, they just believe women should be the ones to make decisions over their bodies and health. Although the two main sides of the abortion debate have concerns for human life, pro-life activists worries more about the fetus and morals, a clear difference from the pro-choice that worries more for the women and their rights. Based on the points I explored, the pro-choice arguments are stronger than pro-life arguments. Most of both groups arguments comes from peer-reviewed researches from well-known sources to support each individual concept. Effects on women,socio-politics, and fetus are some of the main point of conflicts between the pro-life and pro-choice advocates.

Abortion: the controversy-packed topic that can provoke the most vicious altercations between the two opposing sides. The views of abortion divide into two main categories: pro-choice and pro-life. These groups can go at eachother’s throats with no end, constantly throwing new arguments at each other. Many people feel very strongly one way on the topic, and are some individuals too stubborn to consider anything other opinion. The two opposite views seem to boil down to many as either the undeveloped fetus is innocent or the mother has the right to chose what to do with her own body.

A man by the name of Jean Paul Sartre once said “We are our choices”, but what if one’s choice is predetermined or determined by someone else? What are our choices then? What determines a choice to be right? These are questions that arise as a result of the term ‘choice’. Throughout history there have been a number of choices that people have had to make, one of which deals with the topic of abortion and how different cultures perceive them in contrast to others. According to Merriam Webster, Abortion is defined as the termination of a pregnancy followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. This essay will introduce and identify Abortion in terms of its controversy in its morality, differences in ethical cultures, and the views of past societies versus the present.

Today’s society is filled with many controversial issues and debates in which most people take a side based on their personal viewpoints regarding one 's religious beliefs or moral codes. Not everyone is going to agree with each other on the same thing, and these opposing ideas is what essentially divides, and creates controversy within our society. Abortion seems to be one of the most controversial discussions, among many others, in the United States. The two sides to the abortion debate are: pro-life, in where one believes abortion should be illegal under any situation due to the un-born baby’s rights, and pro-choice, in where one believes the woman should have the right to choose whether she wants an

Groups’ strongly supporting or opposing abortion hold sharply different views on the topic. It is essential to note that an individual may either be a strong supporter or oppose the act since any compromise means a choice of life over death and vice versa. This strange facet of abortion makes it a very controversial subject because both sides of the debate meet nowhere. Personal faiths through religion make them have completely varying opinions on the subject. Pro-life supporters claim that it is unethical to take away an unborn child’s life; therefore, abortion at any stage in the pregnancy is murder. They support the constitutional and

Abortion is probably one of the most controversial issues, which is not easily handled in the world today. However, with almost everyone choosing one side or another, the laws and ideas behind abortion are argued by both sides, while some people are conservative also known as pro-life advocates, they are involved in the abortion debate against the practice of abortion. They view abortion as a wrong choice, as well as the intentional termination of human being. Pro-life advocates, think that women do not have a right to choose whether or not to continue their pregnancy. They want to stop abortion by making it harder and inaccessible as it would be illegal. “I do not believe the promises of the Declaration of Independence are just for the

The argument of abortion has been raging since the Supreme Court case, Roe vs. Wade, in 1973. This court case has divided the country into two factions: pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-life advocates argue that abortions are murder and extreme levels of child abuse. While pro-choice advocates believe abortions are a justifiable means to end pregnancies. The pro-choice argument is that the fetus is not yet a human being and its rights should not override that of the mother’s.

Abortion has been practiced since the ancient times, but have only recently been the center of popular debates. There are two sides to abortion. There are pro life advocates and pro choice advocates. People who support Pro life are against abortion and believe that life begins at conception, whereas, pro choice supporters believe that the choice of abortion, whether the mother just wants it or whether she needs it in order to save her life, should be made and kept confidential between the mother and her doctor. The main argument for pro life is that abortion is the murder of a defenseless, human life. While pro choice, on the other hand, says that abortion should be a woman’s right to decipher whether or not she wants to have her baby. The constitution protects women’s rights to privacy, therefore, she can have the choice of either delivering the baby or terminating her pregnancy.

“Over the last three decades, the abortion debate has been characterized as the clashing of rights: the human rights of the unborn on the one hand and the reproductive rights of women on the other.” (Erika Bachiochi “How Abortion Hurts Women: The Hard Proof”) Abortion has been one of the most controversial topics in history. We are constantly seeing the news talk about it and rallies over why people want to keep abortions legal or put a stop to this cruel act.

Few topics summon as extreme a divergence between the sides as does abortion. One side believes in the right of the woman to choose if she wants to carry a fetus to term. This "Pro Choice" view has varying opinions on when the fetus is a human life and is thus protected by the Constitution. The other side of the slate believes that the fetus is a human life from conception, and the mother has no right to terminate the life of the child. This "Pro Life" viewpoint points out that abortion is essentially murder as the fetus is protected by the Constitution from the time of conception. The difference in viewpoints of the two sides is a classic example of an ethical and moral dispute.

“When I entered the operating room, it felt like any other I had ever been in.” These are the words of the medical student as he was entering the operating room. Then he goes on to account his witness of the abortion. Which is a life changing event.

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

Many people describe the abortion debate in America as bitter and uncompromising, usually represented on both sides by people with an intense devotion to their cause and usually with irreconcilable positions. Many of those who are pro-choice insist that a woman’s right to abortion should never be restricted while those who are pro0life maintain that a fetus has an equivocal right to life that is violated at any stage of its development if abortions is performed.
