  • Conservative Views on Abortion: A Critical Examination

    931 Words  | 2 Pages

    “It is unthinkable to allow complete strangers, whether individually or collectively, as state legislators or others in government, to make such personal decisions for someone else.”(Weddington) The conservatives have been bringing up the issue of abortion ever since it was legalized in the 70s. Conservatives believe that abortion should be illegal because they believe that abortion is wrong. They are deciding to make a woman’s personal choice for her and believe that they have the right to do so. Conservatives constantly talk about how much they value their personal freedoms yet they want to strip women of their personal freedom when it comes to abortion. Without the personal liberties granted by the constitutional amendments the entire country would run amuck. Although abortion is legal, the conservatives are trying to revoke this law

  • The Abortion Debate in the 2004 Presidential Election

    529 Words  | 2 Pages

    Abortion is a major issue that affects individual lives daily. It has become a debatable factor in determining the solution in having the free choice for a woman to abort their unborn baby. Even though it was not fully recognized in the presidential election, there was discussion as to whether or not it is morally right to perform this practice. President Bush believes that aborting an unborn baby is morally wrong because he believes in protecting the rights of the unborn and believes that partial birth abortion is a vicious act that discriminates against children who are inches away from life. On the opposing side is Senator Kerry, who believes that aborting an unborn child should be permitted because he believes in protecting women’s choices and enforcing women’s privacy rights.

    Infant mortality is considered a worldwide indicator of a nation’s health status. The United States still ranks 24th in infant mortality compared with other industrialized nations, even though infant mortality has declined steadily over the past several decades. Compared with the national average in 1996 of 7.2 deaths per 1,000 live births, the largest disparity is among blacks with a death rate of 14.2 per 1,000 in 1996 which is almost 2½ times that of white infants (6 deaths per 1,000 in 1996). American Indians as a whole have an infant death rate of 9 deaths per 1,000 in 1995, but some Indian communities have an infant mortality rate almost twice that of the national rate. The same applies to the Hispanic community, whose rate of 7.6 deaths per 1,000 births in 1995 doesn’t reflect the Puerto Rican community, whose rate was 8.9 deaths per 1,000 births in 1995.

  • Republican Motherhood Argumentative Analysis

    Women were not permitted to directly involve themselves in politics; however, the idea of Republican motherhood gave women the ability to expand their learning in the field. This was done to encourage women to take on the role as an educator and teach their sons the necessary material, such as the principles of liberty and government, required of them to become proper future citizens. Although the idea did not grant women with real civil rights, it did present them with the chance to be apart of politics, by being educators amongst the topics, and also reinforced the trend that men are companions in marriage rather than authoritative figures. This trend posed insight into the little rights and little freedom that women were given at the time.

  • Birth: The Beginning of Life

    2449 Words  | 5 Pages

    Both birth and the postpartum period involve a certain degree of danger for the birthing mother, her nascent child, and her entire family or community. Because childbirth is so dangerous (the average lifetime risk of dying from pregnancy related causes is about one in fifteen in some poor countries, MacCormack 1), most cultures have distinct patterns that determine how the birthing process will be carried out. The birthing process involves different birthing positions; different rules concerning who is allowed to be present during the time of birth; mechanisms for deciding where birth takes place; and different ways by which mother and child deal with labor, birth and postpartum. "As a life crisis event, birth is everywhere a candidate for consensual shaping and social regulation the particular pattern depending on local history, ecology, social structure, technological development, and the like" (Jordan 4). By exploring the original human condition of childbirth one is able to gain insight into the universal biosocial phenomenon known as the birthing process.

Any part of the world is affected no matter how advanced they are in technology. “One of every eight infants born in the United States is premature babies” (Medline Plus).

In 2003; 499,008 infants were born prematurely (National Center for Health Statistics). The rates of preterm births have increased over the years. "In 1995: 11.0% of live births were born preterm, In 2006: 12.8% of live births were born preterm"(March of Dimes-Peristats).
