Women's Arguments Against Abortion

Millions of men out in this country are currently voting for abortions to be made illegal. For them, abortions are killing children, and yet a few power-hungry males see ending legal abortion as another way to have complete control over the opposite sex. To start with, the correct terms for the unborn “child”, which depend upon what stage the pregnancy is at, is either embryo or fetus, not a child. A fetus or embryo

Abortion is one the most controversial topics in the United States. The issue at hand is should abortion be legal or not. It is highly debated with in both media and politics. According to History Channel, “Supreme Court legalizes abortion”, in 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court Case Roe V. Wade ruled that women have the constitutional right to privacy, thus legalizing abortion. This law gave women the right to terminate a pregnancy during the first two trimesters. This sparked huge controversy between pro-life and pro-choice believers. Both pro-life and pro-choice have numerous arguments to justify their opinions. In a report done by WebMD, “Abortion-Reasons Women Choose Abortion,” nine out of ten abortions are performed within the first twelve weeks. Abortion should be legal because it is a women’s constitutional right, mental and physical health, and other.

Roughly half of the pregnancies each year in the United States are unplanned and twenty percent of those are terminated. For years the various religious and anti-abortion organizations protested abortion due to the unsafe procedures that could result in maternal death. Once proven that abortions were not more harmful than childbirth, those same organizations started protesting abortions for the safety of the fetus (Barry, 2012). The court case, Roe v. Wade, made all types of abortions: elective and therapeutic legal, and also ruled that the father’s rights do not need to be discussed if an abortion were to occur (Purvis, 2015). This case is continually debated in social and educational instances, but when one learns which rights abortion is under, it shows that abortion is a fundamental right (McBride, 2016). By ruling that the father’s rights should not be mentioned, this was the start of men’s voices being

Abortion is a very sensitive issue. Many people are constantly debating whether or not abortion should be allowed or not. Some people think abortion is very bad and that it should not be allowed at all.

Once a former abortionist stated,“ And as I brought out the rib cage, I looked and saw a tiny, beating heart.”(Bennett) In Jeremiah 1:5 the Bible states “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”i do (The Holy Bible) If God considers us human before we are even conceived then we should, also. Should we listen to God or should we follow the world? Science has proven that babies in the womb are alive and can feel pain. The Pro-Choice Argument has some good points, I agree. They say that it is the Mother’s choice to have the baby or not, but wasn’t it most likely the Mother’s Choice to do what it takes to get pregnant in the first place? Even if it wasn’t her choice, it is still a part of the Mother, it is growing inside her womb. Unborn babies have the right to life because they are alive beginning at the moment of conception, the unborn baby also is human just like us and it has rights, the unborn baby or “fetus” also feels all

As mentioned in our discussion topic, the abortion debate has been centered on the rights of the mother or the rights of the fetus; however we seem to leave men out of the decision. While it is true that the woman is the one who will carry the baby in her womb, it is also true that the baby is a product of two persons not only one. As Edge and Groves mention in chapter 11, the topic of abortion is surrounded by many controversies, and it is nowhere near to be resolved. In my opinion, it would be good if the father had an opinion in the matter, because like I mentioned earlier, the act involved two persons, and both have responsibility. In many cases the father is the one who wants the mother to abort, either because they are too young, or

The article reviews that some Jews are pro-choice, it is fully permitted under a number of circumstances to have an abortion. The Torah explains that “the human being is created in God’s image”, meaning even before conception occurs. Jews protect a women’s right to have an abortion only in certain situations, abortion is allowed if the fetus would mean harming the mother or in case of rape. In some cases abortions are just done without a cause. Judaism considers it is a personal choice, each women must be able to decide whether or not to continue a pregnancy based on what is best for the mother. Like any other debate there are two sides to this issue, there is a legal and moral concern. Anyways, in the Jews law you can harm the unborn but

Abortion is widely controversial topic. Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, it remains a sticky discussion and a hard subject to address. As a social worker we are thought to provide services despite what we may or may not believe. If you are a pro-life life activist, you’re against abortion. You believe that no matter the circumstance, life is important at any stage. If you are pro-choice you believe that circumstances matter and a woman should always have a right to choose. It is my personal belief that life is important at any stage, however you should always have the power to choose and make your own decision based on your specific circumstance. I believe that it’s the individual responsibility to choose their own destiny and not

As people discuss their views on life vs. choice, they begin to explain why their opinion is valid and why the other is either committing a murder or not giving individuals their right to choose. Women who decide to get an abortion often keep quiet because they are likely to be judged by society, “ Over one third of women will have an abortion in their lifetime,... frequently silenced--hidden behind society’s judgements and forced underground by social stigma” (Baker and De Robertis). Women, even today, in the 21st century, still have to hide the legal decision that they make. It's understandable that due to religious beliefs, for example Catholicism, they are pro-life and protest and pray outside abortion centers causing guilt to women whose

This ongoing debate of abortion has become the phenomenon of all debates today. Since Roe v. Wade 1973, this topic continued to spur divisive conversations, attacks on the abortion clinic, and unfair judgment of women. However, these arguments have progressed into the state laws that use the government health department to expand law enforcement and regulation activities around abortion (Roberts, Fuentes, Berglas, Dennis, 2017). Recently, in the past few years, some states have passed laws, namely Virginia, that forces women to take a medical procedure against their will (Slaughter, 2013). Conversely, since the highlighting of this debate, my allegiance has always been of the support of a woman’s choice and rights, in addition, a woman’s right to control her reproductive process or her body for that matter is not only her right but a human civil right not to be denied by the state (Siegel, 2014). Furthermore, the state government desires to put their thumb on women rights, labeling women as wanting an abortion for an irresponsible reason but just having access to abortion for not to give a reason or seek permission from a panel of doctors (Siegel, 2014).

Abortion is among the most controversial topics that have been misleading many Americans for quite some time. Whilst not being a woman, everyone has a right to have an opinion on both topics and should give their opinions as they see necessary.

Abortion is a legal killing spree encouraged and supported by our government and millions of US citizens. The babies aborted will not ever have a chance to take a breath of air, take their first steps, and get tucked in by their mom right before bed. These children are having their life stripped from them forcefully and inconsiderately, and there is nothing they can do to protect themselves. Their right to life has been pulled away from them without any sort of consent, and there is no greater injustice than not having the right to live. It is so emphasized in our constitution that our life should never be threatened or taken, and now abortion is supported by government officials. Just over fifty years ago abortion was considered morbid and

According to Modern Mom a, “tiny heart begins to beat between the fifth and seventh week of pregnancy, even though the baby is only a little larger than the tip of a ballpoint pen” (DS_9395). If a child has a heartbeat in between the fifth and sixth week of gestation, why is abortion legal at 12 weeks of gestation? The Bump states that at 12 weeks of gestation a, “baby’s got pretty much all his or her important organs...” (the BUMP). Therefore, the baby is alive!

Abortion is typically one of the most controversial issues not only religiously, but also politically and morally leaving people constantly debating the right to abort or save the lives of future children. In the eyes of the Catholic Church starting from the moment of conception, the human life is sacred and should be recognized with respect. Other religions might not have the same specific view of Catholicism but stem around the same line when talking of the topic of abortion. Whether or not terminating the life of an unborn child is considered right or wrong, women should be able to make the decision to take the necessary means when it can affect their own health.

In the last couple of decades, people have been constantly arguing if abortion is right or wrong. Whether a woman has the right to end her pregnancy or not has been debated a great deal lately. But what about men in this situation should they also have the same right to end a pregnancy or does that right belong to women. The woman is the one who carries the baby and has to struggle through the pregnancy. On the other hand, the man will have to sacrifice heaps in order to raise the child as much as the woman will. In the short story “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway this debate is shown first hand. The American feels trapped, he knows it’s the woman’s decision and tries to desperately talk her into an abortion. A majority of
