Abortion
Do you know what an abortion is? In the United States, it 's one of the controversial and most debated topic. According to the Guttmacher Institute,22 percent of all pregnancies, excluding miscarriages, end in abortion. Abortion is when a woman chooses or is forced to abort the fetus inside her body. Do you think that a fetus have right to be in the body of a women against the will of the woman? Or does a woman have the choice to abort the fetus, because it 's her body? The answer is often determined by an individual 's personal beliefs about religion, ethics, personal freedom, and other issues.
Considering American ethics and values, death is morally wrong. Therefore, the killing of unborn fetuses is morally wrong as well.Abortion

Although Americans may not agree with the best approach to reducing the number of abortions, many efforts in place has made an decline in abortion rate. I think there are more programs around the world for the females that want to abort the baby. These programs really help them by showing an alternative to their problems. The programs really explain to them, in away that will touch their hearts. For example, If it 's your body, you should have thought about your body before, having sex. When having an abortion, you’re going to hurt your body more than having the baby normal or with C-section. According to World health organization, there are 289,000 women 's that die in pregnancy or after childbirth. And there are 470,000 women 's that die from abortion each year. Don’t abort a child, thinking that you’ll have a better life, but again, what if you don’t
If anyone were to ask what they felt once they gave birth to their child what they felt, the mother would say she felt so much love she never thought she could have for one person(s). Women who experience abortion mourn the death of their child afterwards. The abortion process is harmful to the women (Millar, 501). Though not really recorded on their emotional state, many woman find themselves depressed at the loss of their baby. Most women that chose to speak about their experience said they had suicidal thoughts after getting an abortion. This emotional scarring may vary depending on the woman and her mental and emotional stability when getting an abortion. We should treat abortion as a loss. A loss through the death of a child. There’s a profound amount of grief and trauma a woman goes through getting an abortion (Millar, 502). If people, our society, were to think of abortion as a loss then many people would reconsider getting an abortion. Women who are often grieved by this loss, tend to fall into depression and develop other emotional tendencies that aren’t healthy for them. That’s another reason why they have women go through sessions with a doctor before getting an abortion. You may think you are ready, but it’s nothing compared to experiencing the
Abortion ends the life of an unborn child before it has a chance at life. Arguments have been made that the fetus is not a child nor alive until it’s born, however, according to biology life is a distinctive characteristic of a living organism from dead organism or non-living thing, as specifically distinguished by the capacity to grow, metabolize, respond (to stimuli), adapt, and reproduce. A fetus is a living organism, grows inside the womb, it does respond and adapt to its environment. The fetus also has cells dividing and reproducing which makes it a living being according to biology, which is the study of living things. Therefore, abortion is ending the life of an unborn child.
The act of aborting a fetus deals with a very complex definition of what a human life is. As Alan Keyes says, “Whether a life is a human life, entitled to respect for all the basic, inviolable rights of humanity – this is a critically important judgment.” No one person has the right to say when life begins and this is where the controversy on the issue of abortion stems from. Pro-life advocates define human life as beginning at the moment of conception, while pro-choice supporters claim that once the egg and sperm are united this is just a living organism and not a human life. If the fetus is a human then it is entitled to live under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, saying that it is as equal as any other person. Along with this presumption, if aborted, the aborter could be subject to the penalties that anyone would receive for killing another human being. If the fetus is not being thought of as a human life, then there should be no problem with aborting a fetus. This decision on whether or not the fetus is living or not is extremely difficult to make, therefore creating moral conflict in our society today and for many years to come.
Abortion is the conclusion of a pregnancy, the ejection of the embryo or fetus. In the beginning of the 1800's abortion was permitted until the mid 1800's it became a subject in which was a strictly legal regulation . For almost 100 years later, in the U.S. jurisdiction, abortion was illegal unless performed by a physician to preserve the mothers life. For Example abortion in Canada is governed by the same legislation and medical standards . It estimated that at least 40% of pregnancies in Canada are unplanned . Apparently about half of these pregnancies end up in abortion. There are a few options in order to obtain an abortion. One of the of the procedure takes place like this, First of all the doctor inserts a slim piece of laminaria which is inserted into the women?s cervix. A few hours before the official day of the abortion, the cervix widens the opening .Then the women can be locally or general anesthetize . The doctors widen up the cervix , inserting an aspiration machine, which is similar to the one a dentist use to clear the mouth of saliva. Once the suction stops the doctors makes sure all parts of the embryo and placenta are gone and the uterus is empty and clean. This procedure only takes about 10 minutes. This is just one of the ways to obtain an abortion. Studies show that a single abortion doesn?t change the women?s ability in order to conceive and have a healthy children in the future. As in long-term psychological effects researchers have found that having an abortion doesn?t make women feel bad about themselves in the long run. Every since man has existed there has always been many attempts in order to achieve what modern technology has given us, and it has become a phenomenon that people use all around the world in order to stop an unwanted pregnancy, the use of abortion is very natural.
The only way to 100 percent prevent an unplanned pregnancy is abstinence. Having sexual intercourse, even when contraceptive methods are used, carries with it the risk of a pregnancy (BBC, 2014). If women are not prepared to raise a child then they don’t need to have sex or put the child up for adoption. Killing an innocent human being is not the right option for an unplanned pregnancy because the baby didn’t do anything wrong. Having sex comes with the responsibility of possibly an unplanned pregnancy. Although you feel you are not ready for children you could at least put the child up for adoption, not kill
It is almost unanimously agreed upon that the right to life is the most important and sacred right possessed by human beings. With this being said, it comes as no surprise that there are few issues that are more contentious than abortion. Some consider the process of abortion as immoral and consisting of the deprivation of one’s right to life. Others, on the opposite end of the spectrum, see abortion as a liberty and a simple exercise of the right to the freedom of choice.
Abortion is legal in the United States but someday I hope it is done away with. In America alone there were about 1.06 million babies aborted in 2011. From 1973 to 2011 almost 53 million abortions were performed in the United States that does not even account for the illegal abortions. 2012 had a tad drop on the abortion chart but not rear enough coming in at 1.04 million babies aborted. California was the leader of abortions in 2011 the state had 181,730 abortions which means that about 17 percent of the legal abortions happened in the state of California. The united states aren’t the only ones aborting way too many babies. Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden are about the same in the abortion column. Who are the women who usually get abortions?
Why? Because two questions remain: Is abortion morally wrong? Should abortion be legal or illegal? (Introduction to, 2014). First and foremost, abortion is murder. Some people argue that life does not begin at conception, but at birth. The human zygote is composed of human DNA and human molecules, making it undeniably human (Rob Schwarzwalder, 2014). The unique zygote is a whole new, individual which separates it from its mother. For an organism to be established as biological life it must metabolize, grow, react to stimuli, and reproduce in which the human zygote does all (Rob Schwarzwalder, 2014). No matter how a person looks at the biological status of the fetus, there is no denying that when a woman has an abortion she is taking the life of
A person being pregnant and wishing they weren't is probably the worst feelings a woman can have. A women knowing that if they brought a child into the world and they didn't want it, or they would have to give it up for adoption is such a disheartening way to start off, and mother and the un-born child would be so much better off if they were to terminate the pregnancy and wait for a more appropriate time, or in the case of rape, put the past behind them and move on. Women should have the choice because not everyone knows what the situation was. In today’s society people have attached shame with the word abortion. When people hear of abortions they automatically assume it was the mothers fault and she didn’t use protection or may...
Abortion is a very controversial subject. Up until the infamous Supreme Court case of Roe vs. Wade society frowned on abortions. That court case changed everything, and the propaganda began. Where abortion was once unaccepted, and not discussed in public company, it is now touted, flaunted and pictured in a positive light. Mainstream media only seems to share the “positive” stories of abortion, but there is a side to abortion they are ignoring. There are so many negatives to having an abortion that women need to know.. Afterabortion.org states on their website that 10% of women will immediatly suffer complications after an abortion, and 2% of those are considered major (after abortion). Let’s explore the downside of abortion see if it is truly worth the risks.
Picture this, you’re seventeen, starting your final year in high school. You’ve had your life planned out and you’re ready to take on college. You weren’t expecting your life to be flipped upside down by unplanned pregnancy. You weigh your options and decide the only way to truly accomplish your goals is to abort the baby. Of course getting an abortion comes with many setbacks, but the only way that you can continue to live your life like a normal teenager is to get an abortion. Not all of your family or community agrees with abortions, but the only way to get them to see the light is educate them. Abortion should be legal because it allows women to make the right choices for themselves, raising a child comes with intense commitment, and banning abortion would threaten the line between church and state.
There are usually three options a pregnant teen considers: keeping and parenting the baby, adoption, or abortion. Even though they are teens, holding the baby will be the most comfortable option. One may have struggled with money or school, but in the end, it will be worth it mentally. If keeping the baby is not an option, adoption should be the next choice. The negative side of adoption is the uncertainty of the child's whereabouts and well-being. Once the baby is given up for adoption, the teen mother may feel guilt, identity issues, and other concerns. Kathryn Patricelli, a social worker, who has a Masters and Bachelors degree in counseling and Psychology, says that once a child finds out he or she is adopted, this may bring up some concerns
The issue of abortion has long been a controversial one. There are people either for abortion or against abortion. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, “abortion is a medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus.” Even though, a person might be unprepared for the responsibilities of having a child, an abortion is unethical because it leads to possible psychological complications and possible physical consequences with the mother. Abortion may seem like the easy way out, but there are a lot of unanswered questions for a woman who want an abortion. Having an abortion can cause many problems for women who chose to get one.Health Science researchers Curley and Johnston reports, “All who had abortions reported
Murder is illegal in America. Or is it? Abortion is a legal form of murder against the unborn. Abortion is a worldwide topic that is very controversial and gets a lot of attention. Some people hold the opinion of letting the woman choose for herself, also known as pro-choice, and others hold the position of wanting to protecting the unborn’s right to life, known as pro-life. If a law is not put in place banning abortion, then people will continue in the murder of innocent humans; therefore, couples should be given the option of adoptive parents, fines should be implemented, and pregnancy prevention should be provided.
Abortion has been one of the most talked about topics in society just about anywhere from television, magazines, whether or not it should be the right or wrong thing to do. Abortion is a very sensitive issue to discuss, because of its nature. Many people have said that abortion is a very bad thing to do and it should not even be choice whether or not to abort a living fetus. People think that abortion is committing murder as it is killing the human fetus. However, others feel that a woman should have a voice and have the right to choose to keep the child or not and that it is not murder until the baby is born. Majority of individuals who believe that abortion is bad say that the fetus is human who is partly being formed and to have an abortion is considered to be murder. For the people who think an abortion is ok, say that it’s not considered murder unless the child is born. I believe that abortion should be seen in which the stage the fetus is in. if the fetus is in an early stage of pregnancy it is not considered murder, but if the fetus has already began to develop into a larger fetus then it is indeed considered to be murder. There are times when abortion can be accepted, if the mother is having complications due to pregnancy. For example if the mother is enduring complications in her pregnancy that can harm her, because of the child in that case it is ok to perform an abortion to help save the mother’s life. It is also very important to understand this type of situation. The mother has the right to have an abortion and it is her decision because a mother knows best about her health conditions.
