“brain dead” when she arrived. Lakisha medical records stated that she had died from “Cardiac respiratory Arrest/death”. However the Autopsy revealed Lakisha Wilson suffered from blood loss and went into shock. According to the medical assistance women who are later in their pregnancy have a greater chance of death. Studies have shown that women run the risk of death whether they are in an early stage or a later stage of pregnancy. The case of Tonya Reaves who died during an earlier pregnancy abortion was reported by The Chicago CBS News. Reaves had the dilation and evacuation procedure at Planned Parenthood. Where she was suffering from a lot of bleeding and was rushed by the ambulance to the Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Through the ultra sound that was performed were they saw that the abortion was incomplete. The medical examiner discovered pieces of placenta still attached to the inside of her womb and did another dilation and evacuation. The procedure only brought more problems and pain. It was revealed that a 3/16 Inch uterine perforation {a hole made by boring or piercing} had been performed. Reaves was pronounced dead in the operating room due to hemorrhaging due to an intrauterine pregnancy. Both ladies lost their lives due to bleeding due to an abortion. Not …show more content…
They believe it’s a women’s body, their choice. She should be able to decide whether or not if she does not want the fetus. I understand this but is it someone’s choice to kill a human? Once you become pregnant, you already have a life in you. Though others believe that in the first few weeks of pregnancy, there is no human life. That is incorrect. The baby’s life begins in the first week. Other people support the reason for abortion when they have been violated or a teen pregnancy, or due to the mother’s sickness. I agree with the reasons why they’d find it all right to abort the baby in some ways. However, there are always other options to
Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. According to the Oxford dictionary, the term abortion can be defined as, the deliberate termination of human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. There are two different types of abortion; a spontaneous abortion, which is also known as a miscarriage, and an induced abortion, where the embryo or fetus is purposely removed from the women’s body. The topic of induced abortion has been widely debated for hundreds of years. The issue of abortion was argued way back in the time of the ancient Hebrews. Today many people consider abortion to be murder, but shouldn’t the soon-to-be mother 's right to make such a personal and heartbreaking choice be
The choice to be pro-life for women means they are against having abortions. Abortion is wrong and an injustice to the innocent unborn fetus. God gave women the miracle of childbirth, and he created every living soul. The unborn child is, in fact, a living human being and who deserves the chance to grow and flourish into an exceptional person. If the fetus gets an opportunity to live, this baby whose life was considered so “unimportant” could grow up to be somebody who could change the world. Maybe they could find a cure for a seemingly incurable sickness that would save millions of lives or become president of the United States. Women do not understand the fact that they are taking the life of an innocent child when the child has no choice in the matter. Also, when individuals decide to abort, they are taking the life of an irreplaceable living person, who deserves a chance to grow, laugh, make mistakes, and live his or her life
Pro-choice activists only focus on the positives of being able to choose whether a woman can keep her baby. They don’t look at the risks that come with abortion like “shame, guilt, and regret” (Chittom & Newton, 2015). Abortion doesn’t only effect a woman mentally, but also physically. There is a possibility of death or complications when having an abortion. Anything can go wrong even if it is rare for it to happen. I don’t believe a woman should put her physical health at risk in order to kill her own baby. It sound harsh saying the word “kill”, but that is the reality. Pro-choice supporters try to shy away from using phrases like “killing” and “baby” because of how harsh it sounds. They would rather use words like “fetus”, “embryo” and “annihilate”. Using those word make the reality of killing an innocent baby seem less harsh. They bring up reasons to support their stance like stating that “a woman must have the power to control a decision as significant as parenthood, and that individuals should be able to influence decisions to the same extent that those decisions affect their lives” (Anderson, 2015). Their reasoning isn 't good enough. A woman can have the power to make her own decisions at another time. She can decide many things for herself, but abortion shouldn 't be one of
How would you feel if someone took away your ability to live? How would you feel if you were never given the chance to come into the world and contribute to the human race? These are some of the questions an individual needs to ask when considering having abortion. Abortion, in my opinion, is immoral and unjust simply because it is murder. A brutal murder of a being who has not even seen the world and a huge injustice to a helpless fetus who might have been the next Einstein, President, or the person who would find a cure to cancer. Morality says that every person has the right not to be unjustly killed. Hence, this right also apply to any unborn child. The thought of an individual killing his/her own unborn child is always lurking in the back of my mind because it’s hard to assert the harm being caused by the unborn child to the mother or to the society in general. If we say abortion is morally right, then we are against procreation and procreation is one of the major contributions of a human being to his or her society and the world at large. The act of procreation is one of the most beautiful things in the world. To make a human being, being able to watch that kid grow into an adult and actually be responsible to the society, should be a very fulfilling experience for any mother. I hereby oppose the principle of paternalism because I don’t believe it is moral to take away or destroy the life of an unborn child to save the life of the mother because there is no harm caused by the unborn child but I support the harm principle because abortion in general, causes harm to the unborn child, his future, the mother and the society. Therefore, I subscribe to Don Marquis view on Abortion in his article “Why abortion is immoral”.
Giving birth is often looked upon as a miracle of life with remarkable experiences to come. However, others may think this miracle of life will be nothing but problems in their lives. Many females who are not ready for a baby seek abortion as the answer of their problems. Abortion is known to be one of the most debated issues in society. It is best defined as a “medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus” (“Merriam-Webster 's Learner 's Dictionary”). Regardless, if a woman becomes unexpectedly pregnant and is not mentally or financially stable to take care of a baby, abortion is still not the answer. The procedures for abortion is unhealthy for the female, is murder of the fetus, and goes against the 14th Amendment.

... who are not ready to take on the challenges and responsibilities of raising children. To have millions of poor, homeless and unhappy children in the world to cope with life’s injustices would be far more heartbreaking than extracting an embryo from a uterus. Abortion is a very complex issue that should remain a personal decision. The bottom line is that each woman should make her own decision based on her own morals and beliefs.
Today, abortion has become one of the greatest controversies throughout the world. The debate on whether or not abortion should become a legal option continues to dismember not only Americans, but citizens of other countries. There are people who believe abortion is a women’s civil right, and those who consider it as an immoral act. There are those who believe personhood begins at birth, and those who believe personhood begins from the moment of conception. Many contradictory statements lead to the separation of two groups: pro-choice and pro-life. While a pro-choice supports a women’s “right to privacy”, pro-life supporters are against such an action considering it murder, but why force a female to go through such a dramatic change because of a pregnancy?
So in other words they believe it is that woman’s body and no one has the right to say what they can and cannot do with it, or it would be unjust. The supporters are pro-choice because they do not believe there is any reason why a woman should have to face all the consequences from something she did not do alone, it takes two people to conceive a baby. If a guy can get a woman pregnant and then disappear from their life, there is no reason why she should be the one responsible for everything, the woman should get the same advantage as the man. Also, in the case of rape and incest the supporters believe that it is best for a child to not be born at all than to be born hated or unwanted because they are a constant reminder of the terrible incident that has happened, by a mother who is coerced to have the child because she has no choice, and not because she wants the
Lauren got pregnant when she was in senior year with her boyfriend of two years. All her friends told her the preeminent option was abortion so she could carry on with her life and get a fresh start. She had no idea what she was gonna do. She had stringent parents who would not be thrilled about her recent choices. Lauren finally decided to keep the baby and let the baby live the life she created. Her and her boyfriend stayed together for twenty two years after that and they had two more beautiful children they could not be prouder of. The baby she decided to keep is now in the military and protects this country everyday. If it was not for Lauren keeping the child this country would not have that one military soldier fighting for what we want.
They believe that a fetus has the right to live, and it is not the decision of the mother to take away its life. After conducting research, it seems that pro-life activists are connected with religion, in Canada the activists form a coalition by the catholic churches and stand outside hospitals protesting against abortion. However it’s not only the church groups that are anti-abortion, Leah de Vries from the Windsor Star seem to be against it as well, Leah states, “Some people say that abortions are good but abortions have killed more living organisms than humans in 9-11 and all humans in every U.S. battle.”(deVries, 2013) Unfortunately, this a true, in fact, according to the world health organization they estimate 40-50 million abortions every year worldwide. As we read this paper they are already 34 million abortions in the current year of 2016, this number is referred by the “worldometer” website that uses statistical data by well-known organizations. Another unfortunate fact is “that 25% of all pregnancies now end in abortion” (Hanbury, 2016) from the Relevant Magazine, which is one in four pregnancies. But how does this have an impact in society? Basing of social mores, pro-life individuals believe that abortion is murder, in society they are many other options that are more moral than abortion, such as adoption. They also believe that if the women does
Those who agree with the laws on abortion are strong supporters of the woman's right to choose. Hence, they call themselves pro-choice advocates. These persons are in support of abortions no matter what the condition of the pregnancy. They believe in the woman's right to refuse to carry an embryo or fetus in her body. According to these people, a woman should be allowed to choose the best option for herself and the fetus at any time during her pregnancy.
Abortion has been a controversial topic in the U.S ever since it became legal in 1973 after the Roe v. Wade case. Abortion is defined as the, “the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.” Pro-life supporters believe that abortion is unethical and argue that it is the mother’s responsibility to own up to her actions. They also argue that there is always the option of adoption, and that abortion could be very dangerous. I am pro-life and believe that the government doesn’t have the right to decide what a woman can or can’t do with her body.
Women should have the right to decide whether or not they would like to have an abortion. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines abortion as; “the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus.” The idea of a woman’s right to have an abortion being taken away is merely incomprehensible.
...ociety, but people should not make decisions that can drastically and unjustly infringe on others human beings. A fetus is in fact a human being and its rights should be respected. It maybe the mother’s body, but as soon as she conceives it’s just not her body anymore. Although others believe a woman has the right to choose what she does with her body, the infant the woman carries is still human and has rights to be protected.
