Abortion
Introduction
Abortion is a very controversial issue with having no ground of common agreement with two polar
opposite viewpoints. Abortion is–the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often
performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy (dictionary.com). Abortion was legalized in 1973
because of the court case Roe v Wade, she challenged the texas laws of abortion, her life was
endangered if the pregnancy would be continued she won the court case making it legal for Roe, a
group took the case to the supreme court and made abortion legal for everyone(procon.org).The two
contrasting perspectives i'm addressing are for abortion these people are for the women making the
choice and for planned parenthood, and against abortion, not killing innocent human beings because
of inconvenience to us.
Choices
Women need to have the choice about abortion, it's no ones choice but the women who are facing
the question.The women can choose what she want with her life. She can have control to shape her
future as well as her body. Pregnancy should be planned and taken into consideration, therefor
pregnancies take planning and preparation, no baby should come into the world unwanted
(procon.org). Embryos and fetuses are not independent, self–determining beings, abortion is the
termination of a pregnancy, not a baby.
Termination
Unwanted pregnancy should be able to be terminated for any reason, rape, insect, endangerment to

Introductory Paragraph On Abortion
Introductory Paragraph Abortion shouldn't be something that someone should have to think about.
It should be a no brainer answer to the child's parents. One should not ever have to make the
decision of if they want a child to live or not to live. Society has misjudged this cruel topic,
overthought this cruel topic, and blown this cruel topic out of proportion. No child should have to
be so called, "murdered" for the lack of responsibility of his or her parents. The bible states abortion
is murder, and that murder is wrong, and illegal. Abortion should be illegal due to the negative
impacts of killing a human being. The Bible is completely at odds with the worldview of those who
support abortion. The Bible never mentions the practice of abortion, but those wanting to shape their
lives around the Bible should find the practice both absurd and inacceptable. The Bible teaches that
pregnancy is a good thing and children are a blessing (Jones). The Bible states... Don't you see that
children are God's best gift? The fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Like a warrior's fistful of

"Approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of the destruction of the World Trade
Center towers on 9/11. Every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion"
(Snyder). This fact is sickening, and compares two different situations. The destruction of the
World Trade Center towers did not happen by choice, and people did not die by choice. This event
was viewed as tragic for the US, and lots of people were killed. The same number of people killed on
this one day happens to also be the same number of abortions that happen every single day. This
means that if 3000 abortions happen every day then a little over 1,000,000 babies are killed every

Essay on Abortion: A Woman's Right to Choose
Terminating the life of a child without allowing it to even be born has been one of the most
controversial topics for centuries. Abortion is the term used to identify the act of intentionally
interrupting pregnancy and not allowing the embryo (first stage of development) or fetus (eight
weeks and on) to continue its normal process. Each woman has different reasons to decide to commit
abortion and is either willing to put an end to their child's life or permit it to live, even if it is
unwanted. If it's right or wrong, just or unfair is the main argument of the continuous controversy. In
past centuries, before the mid 1800s abortion was legally, commonly, and freely practiced. Yet,
around twenty states started to pass laws to make the...show more content...
The law includes the coverage of abortion by insurance plans, even though an executive order
declared it to be in limited situations (Jost). The debate seems to continue, since many want to have
the right to pick and others do not tolerate the fact of abortion even being legal in the country.
Pro–choice followers obviously oppose the idea that women have to keep their babies regardless
of the situation. Indeed, a happy and stable marriage is not always the scenario behind a pregnancy.
Rape and even incest could have been the cause and the probability of the mother wanting the baby
in the middle of such an uncomfortable setting is slim to none. Usually, a baby that is a result of an
incest encounter has an endless amount of defects and babies as a product of rape can cause serious
mental and emotional trauma to the mother. A pro–choice advocate would probably present a
sentimental scenario where a twelve–year–old young girl wants to abort because she was brutally
raped by her father. In such tragic rape situations it is difficult to condemn the mothers' choice.
Death and injuries can also be prevented with the legalization of abortion. Women with no choice
could tend to go to "back–alley" medical services that are unsafe, illegal and untrustworthy. The
year before abortion was legalized 39 women died of illegal abortions (Johansen). With legal and
safe abortions women could do their will without risking their lives. It is even speculated that legal

Abortion (Pro–Life) Movement
Introduction
Abortion is one of the most controversial and talked about topics of our time. It is discussed in
classrooms, work places and even on the Internet. Abortion is defined as the termination of
pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in or closely followed by the death of an embryo orfetus.
This definition includes accidental abortion such as, miscarriage and stillbirths. But this is not what
is being debated. People want to know if abortion is ethical, if the fetus can feel pain, and when it is
more human than non–human. These questions are very difficult to answer and may never be
answered in our lifetime. But one thing we as humans do know is that we have opinions, ranging
from completely...show more content...
To simplify this definition, it is a change in the status quo of society. To simplify even more, it is
changing from the norm. The normal way of life 70 years ago had always been the freedom to
make your own decision. In most cases that's perfectly OK, however the pro–lifers feel differently,
and that is no one should have the freedom to take another life. So essentially what they are trying to
change is the taking of life from another innocent human being. They're trying established laws in
attempts to protect and support the discourses and ideologies of their movements. One question that
will often arise is this, why are people engaged in a social movement rather than coping with these
problems on the individual basis or through institutionalized channel? The answer to this question is
fairly simple. Pro–live supporters are involved in this for the simple reason that they feel
passionately enough about it that they want to make a difference in society.
Discourses and Ideologies
Discourses and ideologies are what make a movement a movement. Essentially what a discourse is,
is what the actual movement is trying to say. What the pro–lifers say about this movement is that
abortions should not be legal. They say that every innocent human being has a right to life.

Women's Right and Abortion Essay
Before women had rights to decide whether they could keep their baby, some states didn't allow
abortion, therefore requiring women to give birth to their child. In today's current issues, abortion is
still a controversial subject with millions of people supporting it or not supporting it. Every woman
has the right to make changes to her own physical body, and those rights should not be taken away,
according to the constitution. In the very famous case in 1973, "Roe v. Wade", the United States
Supreme Court legalized abortion throughout the first trimester of pregnancy. In the article, "Roe's
Pro–Life Legacy", it is explained how after this movement, the right to abortion, lives have changed
and led to lower abortion rates (Sheilds 2013.)...show more content...
Carthart: Women Retain Their Right to Choose", in the Supreme Court Case, Stenberg verses
Carthart, declared that; "Nebraska statute banning partial birth abortions was unconstitutional." The
article also mentions that women need personal privacy and the First Amendment, Fourth
Amendment, Ninth Amendment, and Fourteenth Amendment gave women the rights to their own
personal freedom (Berkowitz 2001). As learned in class, the First Amendment of the United
States gave people the right to express their speech, religion, press, and assembly freely. The
Fourth Amendment gave the right for people to search your house but only with a warrant. The
Fourteenth Amendment dealt with equal protection rights. Legalized abortion gives women a
relief because they know that they are the owners of their body and control it and give consent or
don't give consent to an abortion. If a woman becomes raped and unfortunately becomes pregnant,
she won't feel obligated to keep a baby from a stranger or from a psychopath who rapes random
women. The raped victim also might not like the idea of carrying a child from which she was
raped because she will constantly be reminded that she was raped and once again feel the endless
pain. In the article, Humiliation, Degradation, Penetration", it is mentioned how females who have
been raped feel that it is unjust and psychologically unfair to keep the baby from a rape incident

Definition of Abortion Essay
Abortion (noun):
a. Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival.
b.Any of various procedures that result in such termination and expulsion. Also called induced
abortion.
As stated above, abortion is the termination of a fetus. In other words, the fetus dies, whether by the
mother's choice or by accident (such as a miscarriage or stillbirth.) Medically, all terminations of
pregnancy not resulting in a live birth are defined as abortions. Each year throughout the world,
45million abortions are performed. Compare this to 128.6 million births per year and you get

This is because the fathers want a male heir to carry on the family name and be the man of the
house instead of a daughter who is thought to be weak and worthless. The two main types of induced
abortions are chemical and surgical. With the chemical abortions, a woman can choose to take the
"Morning–After Pill" the morning following rape, incest or sexual intercourse. This prevents the
zygote from attaching to the wall inside of the uterus. The other form of chemical abortion can be
done later on in the pregnancy. In this one, the doctor can administer the chemical RU–486. Some of
these abortions (approximately 8%) need a surgical follow–up, usually by vacuum aspiration. There
are a few types of surgical abortions but the most common forms are Manual Vacuum Aspiration
abortion, which consists of removing the fetus or embryo by suction using a manual syringe. The
Electric Vacuum Aspiration abortion method uses suction that is produced by an electric pump to
remove the fetus or embryo. Neither of these procedures sounds enjoyable. Abortion should be
illegal in the state of Michigan because it violates the right to life for that unborn child, there are too

What does pro–life and pro–choice mean? This stands for people with different options or view on
what is right or wrong. If an individual says that they are for pro–life, it means that they are against
abortion, and feel that it is morally wrong. These people believe that abortions are an act of
murder of a human life, and that the fetus is a living being inside the mother's womb. These
people believe that there are other organizations that can help you find someone who is willing
and able to take care of your child if you do not want it, or unable to take care of the child. They
believe that there is always an option besides the killing of your unborn child. To be pro–choice,
means that it is up to the woman to have an abortion or not, and if she decides to have an abortion
then that is her decision and her right as an individual and be free from judgment. "Pro–Choice is
the responsibility to yourself and the freedom to decide to take control of your own life process.
Pro–Choice is not just about reproduction but the freedom to decide your life course with the
support and respect of others. It represents power and pride in self."

Introduction
Abortion is defined as the intentional termination of a human pregnancy. An abortion is often
done so that the birth of a child doesn't happen. Some say abortion is wrong and sinful while
others say it's a good idea since it won't bring an unwanted child into the world. Abortion is also
considered morally wrong since its killing a growing baby or fetus as it is often referred as. Abortion
can also be seen as murder since the process of abortion kills the baby. Some argue that it should
be the woman's decision but what about the baby? Doesn't he/she get the right to live? It might
not be moral but is it legal to have an abortion procedure in the U.S? Does the government stand
by this heinous act? Now, when women make these kind of decisions do they look at what it
could possibly do to their health, how is it affected? Don't they feel any remorse for this horrible
deed? How can people continue living a perfectly normal life knowing that they agreed to kill a
defenseless baby? Not all the reasons to get and abortion are wrong some might be life threatening
cases like the child might not make it to birth or the mother is not strong enough and both lives are
at risk. Possibly the woman got raped and doesn't want the baby to be the constant reminder of that
incident. But is that a good enough reason to take someone's life? For the foreseeable future
abortion will be an extremely hot topic for discussion.

Reflection Paper On Abortion
I, as any other person, have beliefs that I feel very strongly about. The belief I feel most strongly
support is pro–life. Abortion is a very controversial topic in today's world, with there being many
different opinions on the matter. The two ends of the spectrum are pro–life and pro–choice. There
are those that believe that abortion is always wrong, and there are those that believe abortion is
always the choice of the mother. In between these two extremes are those who are more moderate.
Some of these moderates believe in abortion up to a certain status of the growth of the fetus, and
there are others who believe abortion is acceptable in cases of rape. I personally believe that
abortion is wrong in every case. My opinion on abortion has been shaped and strengthened by
many factors throughout my life, with some of these factors being: my parents, Christianity, and
Fox News. Without these factors, there is a high probability that my opinion on the subject could
be different. I personally believe that abortion is wrong in every case because I believe that the
fetus, or unborn child, deserves a chance to live, despite any circumstances. Cases of rape,
endangerment of the mother's life, and endangerment of the child's life during childbirth are more
controversial and often harder to justify, but I believe the fetus always deserves the chance to live. In
the case of rape, I believe that abortion is still wrong. Although the mother has been violated in the
most heartbreaking way, the unborn human being still has extensive value and worth. An article I
read on Save the Storks states, "Why does my sister have any less value, or right to life, because
of how she was conceived?" (McDowell n. pag.). This quote is from Sean McDowell. His
youngest sister, who was adopted by his family shortly after her birth, was conceived in rape. The
birth mother was only fourteen years of age when she gave birth to the girl. Although the baby
was conceived in a terrible way, the mother chose to give the baby life and now the baby is a grown
woman and living a joyful life. If this baby had been aborted, this baby would have never lived a
full life. Thus, many lives would have been affected, including the lives of McDowell's family.

What is Abortion Essay
What is Abortion
Abortion is the term used to describe the premature expulsion of the foetus from the womb, or the
operation to cause this. It is when a pregnant woman intentionally gets rid of her child before it is
fully developed.
Abortion is an extremely topical issue and has been practised for many centuries, although it only
became legal in Britain in 1967. This was because an act was passed to encourage women not to
have dangerous 'Back Street Abortions'. People who had no medical experience often carried these
out. The Abortion Act allowed abortions to be carried out, if two doctors agreed that:

Many organisations offer advice and support for different situations. 'LIFE' is a pro–life organisation
that believe that abortion shouldn't be practised. They teach that every life is sacred and that it
begins right at the moment of conception. However, there are pro–choice groups who believe that it
is the woman's own choice. Christians are found supporting both causes.
A. (ii) Explain what Christian teachings might be used in a discussion about abortion.
When forming an opinion on an issue such as abortion, a Christian would look towards many things
to help them.
Jesus and his teachings in the New Testament are extremely important to Christians, as many of
the ideas on lifestyle are still relevant today. Although Jesus never actually used the term abortion,
nor does he preach about the idea of getting rid of an unborn child he does tell us that we 'Shall not
kill'. This rule could be applied to abortion, as you are technically killing someone. There are
frequent reminders in the New Testament to love God and you neighbour as yourself. With this
lesson in mind, Christians could form the opinion that if they were an unborn baby, would they want
someone to choose whether they would ever actually make it to being a human being in the real
world. Another important message in the gospel of Luke is

Introduction
Statement of Problem: Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most
often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Today, especially here in the United States
of America, there is a growing issue and debate around the idea of abortion. There is a stigma against
abortion because of the possibility of negative religious, political, medical, emotional, and mental
consequences it may cause. Each year, worldwide there is an estimated 42 billion abortions that take
place. This number does not include abortions that are not performed by professionals. The big issue
alongside with abortion itself, is the affects it has on the mental health of females who undergo the
procedure.

There are religious and emotional objections to abortion as well as the possibility of negative
medical and mental consequences. Many are in favor of making abortion illegal because, they
feel it is immoral. Others believe that government should not have a say so in such a personal
matter. Are there any other factors that could possibly change the way people view abortion? The
matter of abortions negatively affecting the women who have the procedure done is one that the
world has been dealing with for some time now. Researchers have decided to explore the idea that
women who have had an abortion could possibly be at a higher risk for developing and even
intensifying mental health issues. Researchers use various measures to determine if or how having
an abortion effects woman. Measures include factors such as women who request an abortion but
have not yet gone through with it, women who have gone through with the procedure, and women
who have lost a child due to abortions or other ways. The following literature explains these

Abortion : Ethical And Moral
Abortion
Introduction
Is it ethical and moral to have an abortion? The definition of abortion is "deliberate removal or
deliberate action to cause the expulsion of a fetus from the womb of a human female, at the request
of or through the agency of the mother, so as in fact to result in the death of the fetus"
(Merriam–Webster, 2016). What about themorality of un–coerced, human abortion for our purposes
abortions are voluntary, deliberate removals of a human fetus (Objections to Warren, 2016).
The Argument To argue that abortion is wrong that every fetus will be a person and every person
has a right to live does that mean every fetus has the right to not be aborted. Mary Warren who
believes that abortion is acceptable at any stage of pregnancy regardless of the circumstances
(Warren, 2016). Warren considers the following anti–abortion argument that it is wrong to kill
innocent human beings and fetuses are innocent human beings, therefore, it is wrong to kill fetuses.
She claims that the reasons rest on the term human being (On the Moral and Legal Status of
Abortion, 1973). Humans in the genetic sense are members of the biological species homo sapiens.
Not only does this involve every child and adult that functions but also includes early embryos.
Warren also includes humans that are alive but are in irreversible comas that do not have a brain that
function (Warren, 2016).

Abortion is not only a woman's right, it is a woman's choice. Allowing abortion to e legal is
immoral. A pre–born child is given the status of a product of pregnancy and never seen as the
miracle only a woman can create. Compassion for the small one is drowned out under a demand
for rights, but what about the rights for the unborn. A woman has a right to her own body is an
idea more and more women are realizing, but that idea ignores the unborn child's right to his or
her own body. Never, in modern times, has the state granted to one citizen the right to have
another killed in order to solve their personal, social, or economic problems. The embryo is its
own being that should have it's own rights to protect it. The zygote is a unique genetic being. If
one were to abort an embryo then that embryo, that human life would never be duplicated again.
For example, a scientist that may have found the cure to A.I.D.S would be killed. There is a
better way to solve our problems than by killing children. A fertilized egg is the most beautiful,
most innocent being that we could ever create and can redeem even our worst mistakes. This
fertilized egg is not just a mass of tissue, for if it were there would be no debate. It is immoral to
kill; therefore, abortion is immoral.Abortion should be banned because life begins at conception. The

These illegal abortions were unsafe, and could be fatal to most women, and put their lives at risk.
Jane Roe was a twenty–one year old woman that was pregnant, who represented all of the women
who wanted abortions but could not get one. Henry Wade was a Texas attorney General who had
defended the state's law. The Supreme Court ruled for Roe and stated that America's right to
privacy included: the right for a woman to choose whether or not to have her child; and the right for
a woman and her doctor to make this decision without state involvement within the first trimester of
the pregnancy. It made it possible for woman to get safe, legal abortions from well–trained medical
practitioners. Consequently, there was a dramatic decrease in pregnancy related deaths.
Anti–abortion politicians in 1981 unsuccessfully attempted to introduce a "Human Life Amendment
that prohibited abortions under all conditions. President Reagan and George Bush also wanted to
overturn the Supreme Court's ruling of the Roe v. Wadecase. The Department of Health and Human
Services in 1988, introduced federal "gag" rules. These rules did not allow federally funded family
planning clinics to discuss and inform their patients about abortion. In 1939, the "abortion pill" RU

This is similar to the suction procedure except that the abortionist inserts a curette, a loop–shaped
steel knife up into the uterus. He then cuts the placenta and baby into pieces and scrapes them out
into a basin. Bleeding is usually profuse. D & X (Partial Birth) Also used for advanced
pregnancies. The cervix is dilated to allow passage of a ring forceps. A foot or lower leg is
located and pulled into the vagina. The baby is extracted in breech fashion until the head is just
inside the cervix. The baby's legs hang outside the woman's body. With the baby facedown,
scissors are plunged into the baby's head at the nape of the neck and spread open to enlarge the
wound. A suction tip is inserted and the baby's brain is removed. The skull collapses and the
baby is delivered. Sharp and suction curettage is continued until the walls of the womb are clean.
These methods may seem cruel but a baby can have distasterous affects on the mothers' lives. If
abortions were made illegal the number of teenage or unmarried pregnacys' would rise
dramatically. Also, victims of rape or incest may not want to have the baby, as it would remind

The choice of her keeping the child would result in her getting kicked out of her home, she'd be

have to deal with these issues, though she would have to deal with the emotional aspect of deciding
to terminate the pregnancy. Pro–choice supports the idea she would learn from her mistake and that
ultimately it was her choice to do what she wished with her body. Even though these "Pro Life
supporters" think giving up your child for adoption is a better choice than an abortion, but those
children would be forced to live in an unfit foster home till they age out of the system. After they
turn 18 they are out on the streets what makes the women who would rather just have an abortion
have to think about when they know their child is in a foster home and probably no better off

relate to our morals, ethics, and religion, thus creating a very strong 'Yes' and 'No'. If you were to
come to any kind of conclusion on abortion, there would still be a downside to it, and that is
primarily why the world cannot agree on this sensitive and emotional issue.
Make no mistake–that from the moment of conception, a new human life has been created. Only

If you really feel that you are not ready to be a parent then you could at least give the baby up for
adoption, and make the baby's life and the family adopting the baby life a lot happier. There are many
other options out there people just have to open their eyes and consider them, instead of killing.
There is another bad side of getting an abortion. Doctors usually say that there are few to none
complication after an abortion but that's not true. According to the Wyn report with statistics from
twelve different countries, women who have had a pervious induced abortion have their ability to
bear children in the future permanently impaired. There is also an increase in infertility, the chances
of having a pregnancy in the tube increases, and premature deliver increases. Abortion also causes
emotional problems or changes. I quote Ft. John L. Grady, medical examiner for Florida State
Attorneys office," I believe it can be stated with certainty that abortion causes more deep–seated
guilt, depression and mental illness than it ever cures". Another idea we have to realize as human
beings is if we kill babies with confidential defects before they are born, why not after birth, why not
any human being we declare defective?
In conclusion, abortion is wrong. I believe very strongly that abortion should be illegal. "Thy shall
not kill" is what the Bible says, so why are so many people sinning? If it's not right to kill

The Ethical Justification Of Abortion Essay
Introduction Ethical justification of abortion is a controversial subject consisting of numerous
significant theories that have been presented based on studies and researches. Basically, abortion
refers to termination of pregnancy through removal of the undeveloped fetus. Seemingly, the act is
highly condemned by majority sociologists and health practitioners due to violation of humanitarian
ethics and morals. However, this particular perspective is orientated by the normative ethics system
entailing utilitarianism versus deontology. Alternatively, this excerpt shall focus on analyzing the
social altercations of abortion based on views and opinions presented by two influential individuals,
namely Marquis and Steinbock. By identifying the main arguments and key elements apparent in the
two arguments, the study is likely to derive rational insight concerning moral permissibility of
abortion.
Presentation of Topic Seemingly, the arguments presented by Marquis and Steinbock are both
centralized on regarding the social act as immoral and inhumane. However, both sociologists adopt
diverse approaches based on the eradicative attributes that justify abortion in rare inferences.
According to Marquis' argument, abortion is depicted as an abomination and should be considered
as immoral as killing an adult human being. Seemingly, Marquis asserts that various health
practitioners disregard the immorality of the act since they believe that the anti–abortion perspective

Abortion : Abortion And Abortion
Abortion has been around for quite some time. Laws have been set allowing it and banning it
during different periods of time. The procedures that can be done are all very different. There is a
medical abortion involving drugs and there are surgical abortion involving a more invasive
procedure. There are also different points of view on it. There are those who fully support the
termination of a pregnancy and those who are completely against it. There are many factors to
consider and very different ideas out there.
Abortion
If you were to look up the definition of abortion online, your results would be something along the
lines of "the deliberate termination of pregnancy." It is estimated that one in three women will
have an abortion by the time they reach the age of 45. Some of these women will end up having
multiple abortions. Over half of all abortions are due to unintended pregnancies and abortion
being used as a form of birth control. 88.6% of abortions are done in the first trimester, 10.2% in
the second trimester, and 1.1% in the third trimester. In 2011, the state of California was the
number one state in total abortions, having reached 181,730 abortions in a year. Abortion has been
a part of our culture and is a very controversial topic because of its history, procedures, and
questionable moral values. Abortion has been around for ages. When it was banned in the US in the
1800s, it was justified by the eugenics movement and the US government as concern

Abortion Essay Introduction

  • 1. Abortion Introduction Abortion is a very controversial issue with having no ground of common agreement with two polar opposite viewpoints. Abortion is–the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy (dictionary.com). Abortion was legalized in 1973 because of the court case Roe v Wade, she challenged the texas laws of abortion, her life was endangered if the pregnancy would be continued she won the court case making it legal for Roe, a group took the case to the supreme court and made abortion legal for everyone(procon.org).The two contrasting perspectives i'm addressing are for abortion these people are for the women making the choice and for planned parenthood, and against abortion, not killing innocent human beings because of inconvenience to us. Choices Women need to have the choice about abortion, it's no ones choice but the women who are facing the question.The women can choose what she want with her life. She can have control to shape her future as well as her body. Pregnancy should be planned and taken into consideration, therefor pregnancies take planning and preparation, no baby should come into the world unwanted (procon.org). Embryos and fetuses are not independent, self–determining beings, abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, not a baby. Termination Unwanted pregnancy should be able to be terminated for any reason, rape, insect, endangerment to health if pregnancy is continued or Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 2. Introductory Paragraph On Abortion Introductory Paragraph Abortion shouldn't be something that someone should have to think about. It should be a no brainer answer to the child's parents. One should not ever have to make the decision of if they want a child to live or not to live. Society has misjudged this cruel topic, overthought this cruel topic, and blown this cruel topic out of proportion. No child should have to be so called, "murdered" for the lack of responsibility of his or her parents. The bible states abortion is murder, and that murder is wrong, and illegal. Abortion should be illegal due to the negative impacts of killing a human being. The Bible is completely at odds with the worldview of those who support abortion. The Bible never mentions the practice of abortion, but those wanting to shape their lives around the Bible should find the practice both absurd and inacceptable. The Bible teaches that pregnancy is a good thing and children are a blessing (Jones). The Bible states... Don't you see that children are God's best gift? The fruit of the womb his generous legacy?

Every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion" (Snyder). This fact is sickening, and compares two different situations. The destruction of the World Trade Center towers did not happen by choice, and people did not die by choice. This event was viewed as tragic for the US, and lots of people were killed. The same number of people killed on this one day happens to also be the same number of abortions that happen every single day. This means that if 3000 abortions happen every day then a little over 1,000,000 babies are killed every year. There is no difference from people being killed in 9/11 to babies being killed in the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Essay on Abortion: A Woman's Right to Choose Terminating the life of a child without allowing it to even be born has been one of the most controversial topics for centuries. Abortion is the term used to identify the act of intentionally interrupting pregnancy and not allowing the embryo (first stage of development) or fetus (eight weeks and on) to continue its normal process. Each woman has different reasons to decide to commit abortion and is either willing to put an end to their child's life or permit it to live, even if it is unwanted. If it's right or wrong, just or unfair is the main argument of the continuous controversy. In past centuries, before the mid 1800s abortion was legally, commonly, and freely practiced. Yet, around twenty states started to pass laws to make the...show more content... The law includes the coverage of abortion by insurance plans, even though an executive order declared it to be in limited situations (Jost). The debate seems to continue, since many want to have the right to pick and others do not tolerate the fact of abortion even being legal in the country. Pro–choice followers obviously oppose the idea that women have to keep their babies regardless of the situation. Indeed, a happy and stable marriage is not always the scenario behind a pregnancy. Rape and even incest could have been the cause and the probability of the mother wanting the baby in the middle of such an uncomfortable setting is slim to none. Usually, a baby that is a result of an incest encounter has an endless amount of defects and babies as a product of rape can cause serious mental and emotional trauma to the mother. A pro–choice advocate would probably present a sentimental scenario where a twelve–year–old young girl wants to abort because she was brutally raped by her father. In such tragic rape situations it is difficult to condemn the mothers' choice. Death and injuries can also be prevented with the legalization of abortion. Women with no choice could tend to go to "back–alley" medical services that are unsafe, illegal and untrustworthy. The year before abortion was legalized 39 women died of illegal abortions (Johansen). With legal and safe abortions women could do their will without risking their lives. It is even speculated that legal abortion is safer Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Abortion Essay Abortion (Pro–Life) Movement Introduction Abortion is one of the most controversial and talked about topics of our time. It is discussed in classrooms, work places and even on the Internet. Abortion is defined as the termination of pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in or closely followed by the death of an embryo orfetus. This definition includes accidental abortion such as, miscarriage and stillbirths. But this is not what is being debated. People want to know if abortion is ethical, if the fetus can feel pain, and when it is more human than non–human. These questions are very difficult to answer and may never be answered in our lifetime. But one thing we as humans do know is that we have opinions, ranging from completely...show more content... To simplify this definition, it is a change in the status quo of society. To simplify even more, it is changing from the norm. The normal way of life 70 years ago had always been the freedom to make your own decision. In most cases that's perfectly OK, however the pro–lifers feel differently, and that is no one should have the freedom to take another life. So essentially what they are trying to change is the taking of life from another innocent human being. They're trying established laws in attempts to protect and support the discourses and ideologies of their movements. One question that will often arise is this, why are people engaged in a social movement rather than coping with these problems on the individual basis or through institutionalized channel? The answer to this question is fairly simple. Pro–live supporters are involved in this for the simple reason that they feel passionately enough about it that they want to make a difference in society. Discourses and Ideologies Discourses and ideologies are what make a movement a movement. Essentially what a discourse is, is what the actual movement is trying to say. What the pro–lifers say about this movement is that abortions should not be legal. They say that every innocent human being has a right to life. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Women's Right and Abortion Essay Before women had rights to decide whether they could keep their baby, some states didn't allow abortion, therefore requiring women to give birth to their child. In today's current issues, abortion is still a controversial subject with millions of people supporting it or not supporting it. Every woman has the right to make changes to her own physical body, and those rights should not be taken away, according to the constitution. In the very famous case in 1973, "Roe v. Wade", the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion throughout the first trimester of pregnancy. In the article, "Roe's Pro–Life Legacy", it is explained how after this movement, the right to abortion, lives have changed and led to lower abortion rates (Sheilds 2013.)...show more content... Carthart: Women Retain Their Right to Choose", in the Supreme Court Case, Stenberg verses Carthart, declared that; "Nebraska statute banning partial birth abortions was unconstitutional." The article also mentions that women need personal privacy and the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Ninth Amendment, and Fourteenth Amendment gave women the rights to their own personal freedom (Berkowitz 2001). As learned in class, the First Amendment of the United States gave people the right to express their speech, religion, press, and assembly freely. The Fourth Amendment gave the right for people to search your house but only with a warrant. The Fourteenth Amendment dealt with equal protection rights. Legalized abortion gives women a relief because they know that they are the owners of their body and control it and give consent or don't give consent to an abortion. If a woman becomes raped and unfortunately becomes pregnant, she won't feel obligated to keep a baby from a stranger or from a psychopath who rapes random women. The raped victim also might not like the idea of carrying a child from which she was raped because she will constantly be reminded that she was raped and once again feel the endless pain. In the article, Humiliation, Degradation, Penetration", it is mentioned how females who have been raped feel that it is unjust and psychologically unfair to keep the baby from a rape incident (Green 2013).

  • 7. Definition of Abortion Essay Abortion (noun): a. Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival. b.Any of various procedures that result in such termination and expulsion. Also called induced abortion. As stated above, abortion is the termination of a fetus. In other words, the fetus dies, whether by the mother's choice or by accident (such as a miscarriage or stillbirth.) Medically, all terminations of pregnancy not resulting in a live birth are defined as abortions. Each year throughout the world, 45million abortions are performed. Compare this to 128.6 million births per year and you get approximately 35% of fetuses each year that never get a chance to live. When discussing abortion, one aspect to...show more content... This is because the fathers want a male heir to carry on the family name and be the man of the house instead of a daughter who is thought to be weak and worthless. The two main types of induced abortions are chemical and surgical. With the chemical abortions, a woman can choose to take the "Morning–After Pill" the morning following rape, incest or sexual intercourse. This prevents the zygote from attaching to the wall inside of the uterus. The other form of chemical abortion can be done later on in the pregnancy. In this one, the doctor can administer the chemical RU–486. Some of these abortions (approximately 8%) need a surgical follow–up, usually by vacuum aspiration. There are a few types of surgical abortions but the most common forms are Manual Vacuum Aspiration abortion, which consists of removing the fetus or embryo by suction using a manual syringe. The Electric Vacuum Aspiration abortion method uses suction that is produced by an electric pump to remove the fetus or embryo. Neither of these procedures sounds enjoyable. Abortion should be illegal in the state of Michigan because it violates the right to life for that unborn child, there are too many risks associated with abortions, and because every child is a wanted child. Everyone, in Michigan and throughout the United States of American, has the right to life. It is included in our three unalienable rights (Right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.)

The word "abortion," means "the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy." (Abortion, 2012) This may be performed for a number of reasons. There are also many different methods of abortion. Abortion has divided people all over the world, and has caused people to debate whether it is right for a woman to terminate her pregnancy or not.

This stands for people with different options or view on what is right or wrong. If an individual says that they are for pro–life, it means that they are against abortion, and feel that it is morally wrong. These people believe that abortions are an act of murder of a human life, and that the fetus is a living being inside the mother's womb. These people believe that there are other organizations that can help you find someone who is willing and able to take care of your child if you do not want it, or unable to take care of the child. They believe that there is always an option besides the killing of your unborn child. To be pro–choice, means that it is up to the woman to have an abortion or not, and if she decides to have an abortion then that is her decision and her right as an individual and be free from judgment. "Pro–Choice is the responsibility to yourself and the freedom to decide to take control of your own life process. Pro–Choice is not just about reproduction but the freedom to decide your life course with the support and respect of others. It represents power and pride in self."

  • 9. Introduction Abortion is defined as the intentional termination of a human pregnancy. An abortion is often done so that the birth of a child doesn't happen. Some say abortion is wrong and sinful while others say it's a good idea since it won't bring an unwanted child into the world. Abortion is also considered morally wrong since its killing a growing baby or fetus as it is often referred as. Abortion can also be seen as murder since the process of abortion kills the baby. Some argue that it should be the woman's decision but what about the baby? Doesn't he/she get the right to live? It might not be moral but is it legal to have an abortion procedure in the U.S? Does the government stand by this heinous act? Now, when women make these kind of decisions do they look at what it could possibly do to their health, how is it affected? Don't they feel any remorse for this horrible deed? How can people continue living a perfectly normal life knowing that they agreed to kill a defenseless baby? Not all the reasons to get and abortion are wrong some might be life threatening cases like the child might not make it to birth or the mother is not strong enough and both lives are at risk. Possibly the woman got raped and doesn't want the baby to be the constant reminder of that incident. But is that a good enough reason to take someone's life? For the foreseeable future abortion will be an extremely hot topic for discussion. Women rights A lot of people argue that abortion should go Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Reflection Paper On Abortion I, as any other person, have beliefs that I feel very strongly about. The belief I feel most strongly support is pro–life. Abortion is a very controversial topic in today's world, with there being many different opinions on the matter. The two ends of the spectrum are pro–life and pro–choice. There are those that believe that abortion is always wrong, and there are those that believe abortion is always the choice of the mother. In between these two extremes are those who are more moderate. Some of these moderates believe in abortion up to a certain status of the growth of the fetus, and there are others who believe abortion is acceptable in cases of rape. I personally believe that abortion is wrong in every case. My opinion on abortion has been shaped and strengthened by many factors throughout my life, with some of these factors being: my parents, Christianity, and Fox News. Without these factors, there is a high probability that my opinion on the subject could be different. I personally believe that abortion is wrong in every case because I believe that the fetus, or unborn child, deserves a chance to live, despite any circumstances. Cases of rape, endangerment of the mother's life, and endangerment of the child's life during childbirth are more controversial and often harder to justify, but I believe the fetus always deserves the chance to live. In the case of rape, I believe that abortion is still wrong. Although the mother has been violated in the most heartbreaking way, the unborn human being still has extensive value and worth. An article I read on Save the Storks states, "Why does my sister have any less value, or right to life, because of how she was conceived?" (McDowell n. pag.). This quote is from Sean McDowell. His youngest sister, who was adopted by his family shortly after her birth, was conceived in rape. The birth mother was only fourteen years of age when she gave birth to the girl. Although the baby was conceived in a terrible way, the mother chose to give the baby life and now the baby is a grown woman and living a joyful life. If this baby had been aborted, this baby would have never lived a full life. Thus, many lives would have been affected, including the lives of McDowell's family. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 11. What is Abortion Essay What is Abortion Abortion is the term used to describe the premature expulsion of the foetus from the womb, or the operation to cause this. It is when a pregnant woman intentionally gets rid of her child before it is fully developed. Abortion is an extremely topical issue and has been practised for many centuries, although it only became legal in Britain in 1967. This was because an act was passed to encourage women not to have dangerous 'Back Street Abortions'. People who had no medical experience often carried these out.

Many organisations offer advice and support for different situations. 'LIFE' is a pro–life organisation that believe that abortion shouldn't be practised. They teach that every life is sacred and that it begins right at the moment of conception. However, there are pro–choice groups who believe that it is the woman's own choice. Christians are found supporting both causes. A. (ii) Explain what Christian teachings might be used in a discussion about abortion. When forming an opinion on an issue such as abortion, a Christian would look towards many things to help them. Jesus and his teachings in the New Testament are extremely important to Christians, as many of the ideas on lifestyle are still relevant today. Although Jesus never actually used the term abortion, nor does he preach about the idea of getting rid of an unborn child he does tell us that we 'Shall not kill'. This rule could be applied to abortion, as you are technically killing someone. There are frequent reminders in the New Testament to love God and you neighbour as yourself. With this lesson in mind, Christians could form the opinion that if they were an unborn baby, would they want someone to choose whether they would ever actually make it to being a human being in the real world. Another important message in the gospel of Luke is 'that not even a sparrow is Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Researchers have decided to explore the idea that women who have had an abortion could possibly be at a higher risk for developing and even intensifying mental health issues. Researchers use various measures to determine if or how having an abortion effects woman.

  • 13. Abortion : Ethical And Moral Abortion Introduction Is it ethical and moral to have an abortion? The definition of abortion is "deliberate removal or deliberate action to cause the expulsion of a fetus from the womb of a human female, at the request of or through the agency of the mother, so as in fact to result in the death of the fetus" (Merriam–Webster, 2016). What about themorality of un–coerced, human abortion for our purposes abortions are voluntary, deliberate removals of a human fetus (Objections to Warren, 2016). The Argument To argue that abortion is wrong that every fetus will be a person and every person has a right to live does that mean every fetus has the right to not be aborted. Mary Warren who believes that abortion is acceptable at any stage of pregnancy regardless of the circumstances (Warren, 2016). Warren considers the following anti–abortion argument that it is wrong to kill innocent human beings and fetuses are innocent human beings, therefore, it is wrong to kill fetuses. She claims that the reasons rest on the term human being (On the Moral and Legal Status of Abortion, 1973). Humans in the genetic sense are members of the biological species homo sapiens. Not only does this involve every child and adult that functions but also includes early embryos.

Allowing abortion to e legal is immoral. A pre–born child is given the status of a product of pregnancy and never seen as the miracle only a woman can create. Compassion for the small one is drowned out under a demand for rights, but what about the rights for the unborn. A woman has a right to her own body is an idea more and more women are realizing, but that idea ignores the unborn child's right to his or her own body. Never, in modern times, has the state granted to one citizen the right to have another killed in order to solve their personal, social, or economic problems. The embryo is its own being that should have it's own rights to protect it. The zygote is a unique genetic being. If one were to abort an embryo then that embryo, that human life would never be duplicated again. For example, a scientist that may have found the cure to A.I.D.S would be killed. There is a better way to solve our problems than by killing children. A fertilized egg is the most beautiful, most innocent being that we could ever create and can redeem even our worst mistakes. This fertilized egg is not just a mass of tissue, for if it were there would be no debate. It is immoral to kill; therefore, abortion is immoral.Abortion should be banned because life begins at conception. The individual sex cell consists of 23 chromosomes.

These illegal abortions were unsafe, and could be fatal to most women, and put their lives at risk. Jane Roe was a twenty–one year old woman that was pregnant, who represented all of the women who wanted abortions but could not get one. Henry Wade was a Texas attorney General who had defended the state's law. The Supreme Court ruled for Roe and stated that America's right to privacy included: the right for a woman to choose whether or not to have her child; and the right for a woman and her doctor to make this decision without state involvement within the first trimester of the pregnancy. It made it possible for woman to get safe, legal abortions from well–trained medical practitioners. Consequently, there was a dramatic decrease in pregnancy related deaths. Anti–abortion politicians in 1981 unsuccessfully attempted to introduce a "Human Life Amendment that prohibited abortions under all conditions. President Reagan and George Bush also wanted to overturn the Supreme Court's ruling of the Roe v. Wadecase. The Department of Health and Human Services in 1988, introduced federal "gag" rules. These rules did not allow federally funded family planning clinics to discuss and inform their patients about abortion.

However this changed with the introduction of the Abortion Act (1967) by the Liberal MP David Steel.

The cervix is dilated to allow passage of a ring forceps. A foot or lower leg is located and pulled into the vagina. The baby is extracted in breech fashion until the head is just inside the cervix. The baby's legs hang outside the woman's body. With the baby facedown, scissors are plunged into the baby's head at the nape of the neck and spread open to enlarge the wound. A suction tip is inserted and the baby's brain is removed. The skull collapses and the baby is delivered. Sharp and suction curettage is continued until the walls of the womb are clean. These methods may seem cruel but a baby can have distasterous affects on the mothers' lives. If abortions were made illegal the number of teenage or unmarried pregnacys' would rise dramatically.

The choice of her keeping the child would result in her getting kicked out of her home, she'd be finically unable to support the baby, and she would lose her education. With abortion she would not have to deal with these issues, though she would have to deal with the emotional aspect of deciding to terminate the pregnancy. Pro–choice supports the idea she would learn from her mistake and that ultimately it was her choice to do what she wished with her body. Even though these "Pro Life supporters" think giving up your child for adoption is a better choice than an abortion, but those children would be forced to live in an unfit foster home till they age out of the system. After they turn 18 they are out on the streets what makes the women who would rather just have an abortion have to think about when they know their child is in a foster home and probably no better off than where they would be if she would have just kept it?

The Ethical Justification Of Abortion Essay Introduction Ethical justification of abortion is a controversial subject consisting of numerous significant theories that have been presented based on studies and researches. Basically, abortion refers to termination of pregnancy through removal of the undeveloped fetus. Seemingly, the act is highly condemned by majority sociologists and health practitioners due to violation of humanitarian ethics and morals. However, this particular perspective is orientated by the normative ethics system entailing utilitarianism versus deontology. Alternatively, this excerpt shall focus on analyzing the social altercations of abortion based on views and opinions presented by two influential individuals, namely Marquis and Steinbock. By identifying the main arguments and key elements apparent in the two arguments, the study is likely to derive rational insight concerning moral permissibility of abortion. Presentation of Topic Seemingly, the arguments presented by Marquis and Steinbock are both centralized on regarding the social act as immoral and inhumane. However, both sociologists adopt diverse approaches based on the eradicative attributes that justify abortion in rare inferences. According to Marquis' argument, abortion is depicted as an abomination and should be considered as immoral as killing an adult human being.
