Should abortion be legal? Asking whether you should bring another life on earth is a big deal. So who’s to tell you what’s right from wrong? Or what you should or shouldn’t be able to do with your own body? I think these questions should be answered based upon your own conscious mind because it’s your body, you should have the right make to your own decisions. Making the decision to abort, is hard enough without being judged harshly by society. The government shouldn’t have the power to make abortion illegal because of other people’s opinion. There are many reasons why people have abortions. For example, they’re unable to financially care for another human, medical problems, or have been the victim of rape
A lot of people think that having an abortion is wrong because they have a different set of moral standards. Or they try to take having an abortion

You might say, “Why not put the child up for adoption?” The problem with adoption is there are millions of orphans in the world, let alone our country, that haven’t a home. Not all of those children get the chance to grow up from a loving home. Some grow up on the streets, unable to feed themselves. Or end up in jail because no one was there to teach them right from wrong. Also, many orphans grow up with mental health issues because they feel abandoned. I would imagine that the life of an orphan isn’t the easiest. So, making an adoption sound like it’s the next best thing to just being alive is a naive thing to say. I don’t think we fully realize what it’s like to be in someone’s situation if we have not experienced it ourselves. On a side note, I do support the many families that are willing to adopt children, and care for them as if they were their own child. Adoption can work if more people are willing to adopt, but not every child in an orphanage gets the chance to have that
Abortion should be legal, because there are too many things that go wrong. A women could be raped and need to get one because she doesn’t want to look at the child and doesn’t want to feel it grow, freedom of choosing what to do and how government involvement in personal decisions such as this could lead to potentially having the government deem how many children you can have or even how many pregnancies you are allowed, medical reasons for abortion, and the ability of a woman to have control of her body is critical to civil rights.
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.
After reading the article, “Why It’s Become So Hard to Get an Abortion”, by Margaret Talbot, I am caught in the middle of pro-choice and pro-life. Talbot provides the reader with an even amount of examples explaining the beliefs of each stance. Being raised as a Catholic, my church has always preached to bring an end to abortion. Although, being a young female, I also feel we should have the choice. I think there is a way to respect personal beliefs and religion, while still being in charge of your body. This being said, I don’t agree with the act of taking the life of an innocent human without it being a medical necessity. This brings up another contrasting point, I believe that if the woman seeking the abortion doesn’t have the means to raise
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.
For nowadays, the justification of abortion because of economic reasons is just heinous. Unfortunately, many people is in this case. The mother just do not have the correct way to raise a child on their own and they see abortion is the solution.Now while this concluding paragraph may sound like I am for the pro-choice side of abortion, I am definitely for the pro-life side of abortion from a depressive realist mentality. Abortion is a terrible thing but people tend to do crazy things when they are desperate. The sad truth is that the United States needs to keep abortion legalized. If it was not for abortion being legalized, the amount of “homemade” abortions would skyrocket, along with that, the number of accidental deaths from performing
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 is a very controversial subject that has been continually argued over for the past few years and probably many years to come. The main controversy is should abortion be legalized? First before we get into the many sides of abortion we must first define abortion. Abortion is the destruction of the fetus or unborn child while the child is still in the mother’s womb. This can be done by almost anyone from the mother herself to back alley abortions and even to abortions specialized clinics set up for this purpose. There are two sides to this abortion topic the PRO-LIFE which is those who are against abortion altogether and the PRO- CHOICE or those who believe it is the woman’s right to choose if she wants to
Should abortion be legal in the United States? This question has been a huge argument for quite some time now. Everyone has their own opinion, I am without a doubt prolife. Abortion should be illegal for thousands of reason. Some reasons that make me so passionate that abortion should be illegal is the fact that abortion is murder, it’s making human life disposable, there are other options instead of abortion like adoption, abortion can cause serious medical problems in a women, and there are many women looking to adopt children.
A common debate in the world today involves abortion, the deliberate end of human pregnancy, and whether or not it should be legalized. “Every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day” (“Abortions Worldwide this Year”). On one side of the argument, people are not disturbed by this grotesque number, and on the other side there are people outraged and simply appalled. Although people attempt to deem abortion acceptable in society because of circumstances like the mother not being able to support the child or in instances of rape, it is still morally wrong.
Abortion has been one of the most popular and argumentative topics that has still yet to be settled. Ultimately the question we can ask when trying to solve this issue is whether or not pregnant women should have the right to kill an unborn baby. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth takes place and is a moral wrong. Can we as a society call ourselves human if we allow the deaths of unborn babies to take place? Those who take the side of pro-choice or as also known as pro-abortion often use statements concerning life, humanity, human rights and freedom to support their claims. I believe abortion should be illegal because we as a society must protect the human lives that are in danger whether or not they are in their first
Abortion is a deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. There are series of legal, moral and ethical issues which may arise about abortion. Most arguments about abortion are often focused on political insinuations and the legal aspect of such actions. Some frequently asked questions’ regarding the issue is if the practice should be outlawed and regarded as murder or should women have the right to practice it. For example, prior to becoming pregnant, some women feel that they would be able to choose the abortion option without trouble. However, even with reasons why having an abortion would be the best option, some women feel that this decision would not be right for them. On the other hand, some women have a strong belief that abortion is unethical prior to becoming pregnant.
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?
In the United States, abortion is an issue that arises a lot of arguments not only among normal people but also among politicians from different political parties. There are two major views about abortion which are pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life supporters basically state that no one can terminate a fetus and the fetus has the right to live. On the other hand, pro-choice supporters believe that no one should be forced to keep the fetus that they do not want to keep. Generally, abortion is not illegal in the US; however, different states have different laws. For instance, is some states such as Utah the abortion
“No one has the right to choose what is wrong”. When Abraham Lincoln said this, he was making a strong point towards people making decision for themselves and not others. It’s a strange truth that no matter how persuaded we might be of our own perfection; the understanding that others disagree with us causes a failure to argue the case convincingly. If a woman is pregnant, she is allowed to do what she wants to do with her body. No family member, friend, or doctor will provide for her baby because it’s not his or hers. It is the mother decision to decide if she is ready and competent to raise a child. Abortion should be legal due to the fact, it reduces crimes, acknowledges women to have a right, and it prevents
Abortion has been a very controversial topic since it was legalized in 1973 when it was legalized. The most heated specific main ethical question is whether the fetus holds a moral status. By definition, abortion is defined as “the termination of the unborn as a result of its physical destruction” (Arechavaleta). Possibly, the most common mistake that many of us think is that all abortions are the same, whether we think that they’re all immoral or morally allowed. Moral philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle provide different kinds of perspectives on various aspects of the abortion question that is above our typical standard society and political breakdowns of what abortion is and whether the fetus deserve a moral status to be consider as a human being. Before making a moral declaration on the abortion question of a fetus, we should look at various factors and different kinds of abortions.
