controversial issue has two distinct sides, pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life supporters believe that abortion is wrong, while pro-choice supporters disagree. The right to get an abortion is one the women of America deserve to have. In the article, Yes, I’m Pro-Abortion, written by Lauren Rankin, the idea of pro-choice being a good thing that all American women should have access to is discussed. Rankin brings up great points on how many Americans are pro-choice, but they are not being provided centers
no matter what it is her body and nobody else should be concerned with what she decides to do with her body. So now the question still remains should abortion be legal say I will be analyzing this topic in discussing my views on abortion, pro-life, and pro-choice. So what is abortion?

The debate between pro-choice and pro-life has been going on for quite a while now, and will continue to do so. The pro-choice side fighting for the women’s right to abortion and pro-life fighting for the fetus’ life.

The issue I have chosen to discuss in this paper is Abortion due to the very drastic positions of being Pro-Life or Pro-Choice. A democrat may look at the issue and, given a more liberal point of view, be Pro-Choice. A republican might be Pro-Life given a much more conservative view. “About half of all pregnancies are unintended and because of this, four in ten of all pregnancies are aborted,” states (Operation Rescue). In this paper I will discuss the views of both parties in order to understand
pregnancy and would diminish the need for abortion, but not abolish the choice. A widespread misconception with the pro-life, pro-choice dispute is that pro-choice means “for abortion”. Pro-choice plainly means women have the right to chose what they want and no one can chose for them. “I have met thousands and thousands of pro-choice men and women. I have never met anyone who is pro-abortion."-Hillary Clinton. The pro choice debate wants to make it apparent to people they are not fighting for abortions;
The Issue of Abortion: Pro-Choice or Pro-life? The murder of innocents or, a woman’s right to choose; the Pro-Life/ Pro-Choice Debate, Which side are you on? The issue of abortion has been a topic of interest not only in the medical world but also in the political and religious worlds as well. The pro-life argument states that at conception the fetus is a baby and terminating it is taking a life. The pro-choice argument states that the unborn fetus, not baby, is just a blob of tissue and your terminating
usually conservatives (also known as Pro-Life advocates), view abortion as wrong, others tend to feel that abortion should be up to the woman in that situation; these people are usually liberalists (also known as Pro-Choice advocates). While Pro-Life and Pro-Choice are two different views on the same point, several issues separate these two sides: the goals of each agenda, the side effects of accomplishing these goals, and the moral standards supporting each side. Pro-Life supporters have a moral background
In present time, abortion continues to be a heated debate with a division of those who are pro-life (against abortion) and those who are pro-choice (in favor of abortion). This forms two opposing groups of individuals who may differ or compare in certain ways. A division of opposing viewpoints happens because individuals construct and define their own realities. Author Jodi O’Brien states “reality may differ across social groups, but within each group, a taken-for-granted system of knowledge establishes
Pro choice vs pro life has divided people for numerous reasons. Abortion is expected to date back to the 1800s, it is now seen as taboo and inhumane to some. Fact of the matter, whether abortion is wrong or not it is the fight for giving a woman a natural right to her own body. For decades, legislators that are full of man have created laws and regulations on abortion. Abortion ideally ought to be pro choice for women everywhere for the victims' own protection, expanding young girls life opportunities
United States (Tietze 1). The problem begins with whether it is the woman’s choice to keep or terminate her pregnancy or the government’s choice. When this problem happens, a woman loses her right as a person. Most women argue about this issue, but if you look at it, it is the woman’s body, and she should do with it as she pleases. I believe that if a woman, under the right circumstances, should be able to make her own choices in life and not be influenced by family or the government. Some women
Dismantling the Pro Choice Argument Abortion has been a popular and controversial topic since the passing of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court on January 22, 1973. The passing of this bill has lead to a division among the people; one side Pro Life and the opposing side Pro Choice. The Pro Life side advocates a persons right to life for all including the unborn. Whereas, the Pro Choice side advocates the idea of a woman’s choice to abort their unborn. However, many of the arguments they use are not
Anderson brings up point after point to support his opinion on pro-choice abortion. Anderson writes about how the government should have no say in a woman’s decision to abort even if she is past the first trimester: “Pregnancy and motherhood affect every aspect of a woman’s life - public and private, emotional and physical - and Roe v. Wade confirmed that it was an invasion of privacy for the government to step in and make reproductive decisions on a woman’s behalf” (Anderson, 2015). Anderson explains
In her essay “Pro-Child / Pro-Choice: An Exercise in Doublethink?” Judith A. Boss deconstructs the argument supporting legalized abortion on the basis that it is beneficial to children in general. Boss presents the oft-used slogan of the pro-choice position, “Pro-Child / Pro-Choice”. She maintains that this slogan seems closely related to “newspeak”, which she characterizes as “…vocabulary pared down to a minimum so that whole ideologies are expressed in a single slogan…” (156-7). The term “newspeak”
The Church Until Recently Was Pro-Choice From a sermon delivered on February 15, 1998 at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, by the Rev. Elaine Gallagher Gehrmann: Most of us know that the Roman Catholic church teaches that life begins at conception, and yet most of us don't know that this is a relatively recent change. It wasn't until 1869 that Pope Pius IX decreed that "ensoulment" takes place at conception. Up until then, the Catholic church had taught
Professor: Genci Shehu Student: Nikola Zemani The Freedom of Being Pro-Choice. An American saying goes like this: “Pro-life is ‘I know what’s best for you.’ Pro-choice is ‘You know what’s best for you.’” This saying stuck with me for a long time. At first I was skeptical about this proverb, thinking to myself how terrifying abortion is. How terrifying it is to deny the right to life to an unborn child. But after further researching into this issue, I began to understand how different my true
how one’s social upbringing reflects their views and opinions. The average pro-life activist tends to be a lesser-educated individual who grew up seeing family life as a root to all means. Her parents were of a lower income bracket, barely finished high school, and more that likely her parents provided many siblings. She wed directly out of high school to a low income white collar worked and has many children herself. The pro-life activist believes strongly in the church and the fact that the main
Abortion and Women's Rights: Unification of Pro-Life and Pro-Choice through Feminism January 22, 1973 is a day that, in the eyes of many modern feminists, marked a giant step forward for women's rights. On this date the U.S. Supreme court announced its decision in Roe v. Wade, a verdict that set the precedent for all abortion cases that followed. For the first time, the court recognized that the constitutional right to privacy "is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to
PRO-CHOICE VS. PRO-REGULATION: WHAT TERMS DESCRIBE THE CONFLICT AND WHAT ARE THE GROUNDS FOR THE DISCUSSION? Pro-life. Pro-choice. The two self-chosen terms for the respective sides of the struggle do not provide an equal playing field. Which side will a casual observer of the debate (especially a young one) identify with? There is, of course, no contest. No one wants to claim to be anti-life. The term “pro-life” shuts down discussion, pulling the issue out of a disagreement between two competing
