As well all know the abortion rate is increasing dramatically because everyone is becoming impregnated and having abortions for several reasons. In my opinion, I feel as though if you don’t want children then you should practice safe sex by using contraptions. Abortions should be illegal for a numerous amount of reasons which are: It’s consider murder, it’s against religion, it’s unhealthy for the body, and cause mental illness.
From 1973 until 2011, 53 million abortions happened in the U.S. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. During an abortion you either kill the embryo or the fetus. Abortion should be illegal because whatever arguments the pro-choice side can make; it does not matter when we are discussing the life of a human being. Abortion is murder.
Around the world many women are receiving abortions legally and illegally. I believe receiving abortions should be against the law, with the exception of rape and incest. Taking the life of an unborn human being is not only cruel but wrong. The decision of taking another human beings life should not lie in our hands.
Abortion denies the embryo the right to life as a safeguarded in the US Constitution.By aborting these unborn infants, they are not allowing themselves to meet these new identities and unique personalities that one day they will become. These unborn infants are our new future, they are presidents, doctors, firefighters, soldiers who could be saving peoples lives, and the wellbeing of our country, but if we don’t save theirs, how are we setting the example to our society that killing is wrong, when abortion is still legal? The 14th Amendment protects the unborn children from harm. Jennifer Mason, communications director from the pro-life group Personhood USA, explained, “requires, equal protection under the law for everybody”, she asserted, “and so we believe that every human being regardless of their location,
Since the landmark court case of Roe v. Wade in 1973, the controversy of abortion has only increased. Though the court subjected the act of abortion a fundamental right under the United States Constitution, pro-life activists continue to prevail. The Constitution protects the natural rights of citizens, including the freedom of choice in abortion, thereby the right to abortion should be protected.
Ever since the case of Roe v. Wade in 1973, abortion has been one of the most contentious issues in our society. In some cases people think abortion is murder, in others, it’s reasonable for some cases. Then there are people who use it just to take advantage of it. The legal stance of abortion is a hot topic in today’s society.
The mother has the right of protection over the fetus as suggested by the Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade because the fetus is not a rational person that can be protected by the constitution. Women are human beings who are guaranteed the rights the rights to choice and privacy by the Fourteenth Amendment. Abortion also has utilitarian benefits because it reduces the births of poor and socially disordered children who may cause crime in future. It also allows the women to participate normally in socioeconomic activities and contribute to the proper functioning of society. Without abortion, women might have children without being ready to face the duties and responsibilities of raising them, which leads to low quality of life. Women have the right to choose the right time to have children. Therefore, abortion should be legalized in all
Everyone including fetus and embryo has the right to live. No civilized society permits one human to intentionally harm or take the life of another human without being punished. Even if that human being is not born yet, the United States government consider unborn babies as human beings.

The argument in the passage is whether or not abortion is permissible. The author state many times throughout the passage that abortion is wrong for a varying amount of reasons, but at times the passage can be confusing. The author tries to clarify as to what is a person and non-person, but within this part of the passage it become cloudy and could use some rewording to make it more clear to the readers on their stance on what makes a person. To make it more clear to the readers the author should have made the sentences less wordy and straight to the point. Also, the points about what makes the fetus a person are lacking in some strenght. Overall it was a clear conclusion that abortion should not be permissible.
Abortion is a debatable question that has been argued over a long period of time. The controversy of abortion has caused or may cause deaths and several violent conflicts between, should abortion be legal or illegal. Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed worldwide also known as elective termination of pregnancy (History,2016). Abortion is the destruction of the fetus or unborn child while the child is still in the mother’s womb. This procedure can be done almost anyone from the mother herself to back alley, most common, abortion clinics. More than 40% of all women will end a pregnancy by abortion and remains common in the US. But the questions is should abortion be legal or illegal?
The legal rights and availability of women to have access to abortions was decided by the landmark case of Roe v Wade (1) (1973). In terms of how this ruling impacted our freedoms, while it gave the birthmother a right to choose life or death for her baby; the baby 's freedom, that of the right to life, (as stated in our Declaration of Independence (2)) is totally stripped away. Therefore, the ruling of the case Roe v Wade (1) was effective for what it set out to do, which was to give the birthmother the right to choose what to do with "her body." However, it set up the issue of having to determine the viability of the unborn baby, and when life actually begins. Both issues are still being redefined today.
The reason abortion should be illegal is because it is an unlawful act of killing another human being, very similar to the word murder. The definition of abortion is the “deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.” The definition of the word murder is “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.” Notice the word deliberate in abortion, purposely killing an unborn child. Murder is illegal and abortion is no different than murder.
The constitution, being written by men, only originally concerned the freedom of men. Since women were brought into the mix for increasing equality, they are legally allowed the same rights as any other citizen. One issue concerning the rights of women is the argument of abortion laws. It is debated about whether it is an ethical and morally just procedure and whether it violates the fetus 's rights or a woman 's freedom of her own body. Most people either agree that women should be allowed to decide on an abortion over pregnancy and some oppose abortions completely. Before 1973, abortion was widely illegal. Since then, several cases have challenged women 's rights to abortions, and changed the laws for all states. Today, abortion is legal in all states, because of the Supreme Court Case known as Roe v. Wade (1973). This proved that abortions are a constitutional right guaranteed in the Constitution. Although no state now has the power to go against this, they can make it harder to get the procedure. The option of abortion gives a women security if she cannot support a baby. It is also safer than pregnancy and is much cheaper as well. Babies are incredibly large responsibilities and they should not be seen has inevitable mistakes by women who felt obligated to keep them. A child brought into this world should be nurtured and does not deserve to be abandoned at birth. Abortion is a way to avoid suffering and negative
When someone accidentally shoots someone while hunting because he didn’t see the other person, then the guy dies, the shooter goes to jail. He gets life in prison for first degree murder. But when a man and women have a sexual entercource she may become pregnant. She finds out but her and the man do not want the child so she goes to the doctor. The physician comes in and stick a two foot metal piece in the woman's uterus, the physician snaps the child’s head. The baby is thrown in the trash, the woman leaves and the doctor gets paid. There’s two problems one the child is thrown in the trash to decompose improperly, two the doctor just killed a person. Abortion should be illegal in the whole world.
