Women 's Autonomy Of The Fetus

the question of which of the two is of greater importance: the duty to honor the woman’s autonomy versus the duty to respect potential life. Indiana’s governor, Mike Pence, has signed a House Enrolled Act No.1337 to amend the Indiana health code, which will go in effect on July 1 of 2016. The act affects abortions in several ways which include that doctors much provide perinatal hospice care information to women considering abortion after receiving a diagnosis of a lethal fetal anomaly, prohibits all

access to abortion service, such as young women must have parental consent to have an abortion, no abortion in second trimester of pregnancy, and no state or federal funds

A startling recent study reported, "Half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about four in ten of these end in abortion” (Guttmacher Institute). Although today the United States is split among many controversial issues, one of the most disputed controversies is abortion, which has taken our country by storm over the last decade. As more and more unexpected pregnancies are occurring, many women find themselves faced with the financial and social burdens of potentially raising

Abortion is a way for women, or couples, to make the best decision they can for themselves and the unborn child if they are not ready to bring a child into the world. Allowing termination as a legal and ethical option lets women know they still have a choice when their world is turned upside down. The choice to abort a pregnancy allows women to remain in control of their bodies and makes women one step closer to becoming equal to men. I argue that it is ethically permissible for women to choose to have

Pro-Life are being discussed from two different perspectives towards abortion. Anti-Abortionist people disagree with abortion due to their own beliefs. On the other hand, people believe women should have more autonomy in the issue. Not only do anti-abortionist people think abortion should not be an option given to women but also think abortion should be illegal worldwide. Although people can not be forced to have an abortion, people can be very persuasive to make others think abortion is the right choice

The argument of abortion is largely circumstanced around whether or not a fetus should be considered as a human person and, if indeed it is, when exactly in the stages of development can a person agree with the aforementioned statement. Most pro-life supporters firmly believe that a fetus is a human at the instance of conception and use this as a sole basis to argue that abortion is therefore immoral. Judith Jarvis Thomson is not convinced that this basis is a sufficient defense and approaches the

someone 's sibling was in a car accident and desperately needed a blood transfusion to live and there was only one person on Earth who could donate blood to save them (acknowledging the fact that donating blood is a pretty easy and safe procedure.) No one can force that person to donate blood. Indeed, even to save the life of an adult, it would be illegal to force someone to donate their blood if they didn 't want to. We have this human right called "bodily autonomy"(a-toh-nomy). It 's this concept

regardless of concerns for the pregnant woman’s health, or for the quality of the life of the child. The Pro-Choice argument feels that a woman should have the choice when it comes to what they wish to do with their own reproductive organs. There 's many arguments regarding abortions. One of many is that adoption is a viable alternative to abortion. This statement implies that the only reason a woman would want to get an abortion is to avoid raising a child, and that isn’t the case. Depending on

substance by pregnant women over the past several decades. Almost all drugs are known to cross the placenta and have some effect on the fetus. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (2013) the first studies of the effect of substances consumed by a pregnant women to the developing fetus were identified in the 1960’s of prenatal tobacco use. These studies opened the door to further research and studies. The effects of Alcohol and opiate use have been studied since the 1970’s (Jones, Smith, 1973)

be that the Woman deserves the lesson that actions have consequences and to allow the termination of a human life over a mistake would be morally wrong. However, one must question if making a mistake is justification for potentially ruining someone 's life. There is no doubt that less well-off households are harder to live in, even with government help. Thus, in this situation the pro-life argument condemns not only the Woman but their child, who is unquestionably innocent in their mistake. Thus showing
