Abortion has been always a huge controversial debate among the past years and until now in the United states and in Oklahoma in particular. Since the US supreme court gave its decision about abortions in Roe V Wade case in 1973, Oklahoma state kept restricting abortions by putting new rules for pregnant women to follow before any procedure regarding to it. From that time the percentage of abortions done in nonhospital clinics rose from 51% in 1974 to 61% in 1976, and reached 95% in 2008 (Aksel, sarp, et al, 2013). However, there should be unlimited restrictions on abortion in Oklahoma because each woman should have complete control over her body.

Woman in Oklahoma should have a complete control over her body because woman have the right to make a choice about her body, and no one have the right to force her to keep a fetus that she doesn’t want for any reason. Some reasons (like if the child came from rape, incest, or illegal relationship , has a severe health problems and he is not going to live along beside that he will suffer due to his illnesses, and threatens pregnant woman’s life), are logical and the woman has the complete right to go for it. “Woman has the right not to keep a baby came from rape, or illegal relationship because no woman want to carry and raise a child – a sin - from her rapist. This child might be unloved and unwanted, so instead of bringing him to this life and make him suffer from being unloved or giving him for another family to adapt him away from his real mother, abortion is the solution ”, said Elise 31 year old a French language teacher.

    The birth of a child is usually a wonderful and priceless occasion. However, on June 5, 2015, an eleven-year-old girl gave birth to a newborn girl. Approximately a year before she gave birth, her 40-year-old father repeatedly sexually assaulted her. In this case, the unprepared eleven-year-old child decided to have the baby. This is a prime example that illustrates that the right to abortion should always be vested in the woman.

    Over the course of the last century, abortion in the Western hemisphere has become a largely controversial topic that affects every human being. In the United States, at current rates, one in three women will have had an abortion by the time they reach the age of 45. The questions surrounding the laws are of moral, social, and medical dilemmas that rely upon the most fundamental principles of ethics and philosophy. At the center of the argument is the not so clear cut lines dictating what life is, or is not, and where a fetus finds itself amongst its meaning. In an effort to answer the question, lawmakers are establishing public policies dictating what a woman may or may not do with regard to her reproductive rights.

    Three Works Cited    Many people believe abortion is only a moral issue, but it is also a constitutional issue. It is a woman's right to choose what she does with her body, and it should not be altered or influenced by anyone else. This right is guaranteed by the ninth amendment, which contains the right to privacy. The ninth amendment states: "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." This right guarantees the right to women, if they so choose, to have an abortion, up to the end of the first trimester.

  • Abortion Should be Illegal in the Untied States

    The debate of abortion continues to be a controversial problem in society and has been around for many decades. According to Jone Lewis, “In the United States, abortion laws began to appear in the 1820’s, forbidding abortion after the fourth month of pregnancy” (1). This indicates that the abortion controversy has been debated far back into American history. Beginning in the 1900’s, legalized abortion became a major controversy. In 1965, all fifty states in the United States banned abortion; however, that was only the beginning of the controversy that still rages today (Lewis 1). After abortion was officially banned in the United States, groups such as the National Abortion Rights Action League worked hard on a plan to once again legalize abortion in the United States (Lewis 1). It wasn’t until 1970 when the case of Roe (for abortion) v. Wade (against abortion) was brought...

  • The Debate Of The Permissibility Of Abortion

    1114 Words  | 3 Pages

    The permissibility of abortion has been a crucial topic for debates for many years. People have yet to agree upon a stance on whether abortion is morally just. This country is divided into two groups, believers in a woman’s choice to have an abortion and those who stand for the fetus’s right to live. More commonly these stances are labeled as pro-choice and pro-life. The traditional argument for each side is based upon whether a fetus has a right to life. Complications occur because the qualifications of what gives something a right to life is not agreed upon. The pro-choice argument asserts that only people, not fetuses, have a right to life. The pro-life argument claims that fetuses are human beings and therefore they have a right to life. Philosopher, Judith Jarvis Thomson, rejects this traditional reasoning because the right of the mother is not brought into consideration. Thomson prepares two theses to explain her reasoning for being pro-choice; “A right to life does not entail the right to use your body to stay alive” and “In the majority of cases it is not morally required that you carry a fetus to term.”
