The Disturbing Act of Aborting a Fetus

Abortion is a very sensitive and controversial topic. There are people who believe that abortion should be a right and a woman should be able to decide whether to terminate her pregnancy. Persons with this perspective are pro-choice. However, there are others who believe that abortion is not a right and a woman should not be able to terminate a pregnancy just because she doesn’t want to have a baby. People with that view are pro-life. Because abortion is a debatable issue and has these two perspectives linked to it, we can group arguments used to support either perspective into categories of pros and cons. Three pros of this topic are; ‘A baby should not come into the world unwanted’, ‘Abortion is a justified means of population control’, and ‘The US Supreme Court has declared abortion to be a fundamental right’. Whereas three cons are; ‘Abortion promotes a culture in which human life is disposable’, ‘Abortion eliminates the potential of societal contributions of a future human being’, and ‘Abortion is murder, the killing of an innocent human being is wrong even if that human being has yet to be born’. As controversial as the subject of abortion can be, it is more than just a debatable topic for interesting group conversations or small talk. It is a Health Issue because this procedure, whether it is done medically or surgically comes with health risks and consequences. I will be discussing some of the different ways in which this health issue

Twenty to thirty million legal abortions occur worldwide each year. The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between – (Mother Teresa). Before 1973, individual states were allowed to decide whether abortion would be legal within their borders. The topic of abortion and whether or not it is right or wrong is a constant debate in todays society. Everyone has their own beliefs on the matter, but it should not be a question of what we believe, it should be the question of whether or not this procedure should be considered an illegal act. There are hundreds of woman everyday that have an abortion, and hundreds of innocent lives being slaughtered legally. The fact that this procedure is legal in the U.S, and that people actually see it as their “choice” or “right” to abort the baby, disturbs me immensely. Preforming the procedure of an abortion should be illegal in all states because abortion is murder, the fetuses can feel the pain during the procedure, and abortion can lead to psychological damage.

The restrictions and the debate that surrounds the issue of abortion has changed dramatically throughout the course of history and it continues to change until this very moment. All around the world and in every known society, women have used abortion to control their reproduction, regardless of it’s legality. Abortion used to be exercised freely in the United Sates, up Until all the states started to ban It and place a lot of restrictions on it. They stated that a woman can not abort except in extreme cases in which the mother’s life might be in danger. After the restrictions caused a lot of health issues and raised concerns on women’s health, The Government abolished all the restrictions. In this paper I will analyze and discuss three main positions on the issue of abortion. First, there are those who associate themselves with the title “pro-life”. These individuals are anti abortion, birth control, embryo research or anything that can control or cause any harm to the fetus. Second, there are those who at the other end of the spectrum who firmly believe that if a woman decides to abort, then it is her constitutional right to do so without any interference from the government. Third, are those who believe that if a woman is raped or her life is in danger, then abortion should be completely and solely up to the woman, but other than that, abortion should be illegal. This group of individuals are also for birth control and do not oppose educating

Abortion is a subject which is continually contested in the worldwide media, stimulating passion and controversy. Abortion still raises fundamental questions about human existence, such as when life begins and what it is that makes us human (United Nations, 2002).

Abortion is a legal medical method to stop the premature delivery that is adopted in most countries of the world. It was legalized many years ago but nowadays we live in the civilized society where the human life is the most precious treasure and the question about the appropriateness of abortions is of current importance. Nowadays there are two opposing camps who present their arguments. People who support abortion insist that prohibition of it will deprive people of their rights to have free choice. On the contrary, people who stand for banning abortion claim that abortion deprive a human being from the right to live. Every person must decide for himself what is more important: deprivation of choice or deprivation of life. Another point

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics in today’s world. With the evolving moral standards of society, abortion is becoming more and more justified. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy. People don’t seem to realize that abortion can ultimately have the best overall consequences. This topic should be viewed from a consequentialist view, or from the moral worth depending on the positive or negative value of the consequences. The choice of abortion doesn’t matter as much as the consequences of the choice itself. While some consider abortion murder, others believe it as saving a life. It can save a mother from an unwanted pregnancy and it can save a child from an unwanted future. A woman has the right to choose abortion if they believe it is necessary and dispose freely of their own body.

In 2017, abortion is still a taboo subject. It is something society often avoids talking about due to the fear of creating a political uproar resulting from the opinion of one individual. Therefore, it should come as a

Abortion is defined as the ending of pregnancy or the pregnancy termination via removal of the fetus before it accomplishes the viability. The US constitution addresses abortion as a "fundamental right" for women. Roe vs.wade, legalized abortion in 1973.Recent studies have revealed that 20-30 million abortions are legally performed worldwide. Moreover, 10-20 million abortions are illegal in each year. As well as the World Health Organization states that the rate of abortion is very similar to the countries where it is illegal. The abortion referred to two terms pro-life and pro choice. The purpose of this essay is to explore differing views on abortion.

All around the world, there are many controversies that people argue for and fight against. One of these controversies is; abortion which is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy before a fetus is capable of independent life. This is a very controversial topic because people are worried about the moral ethics of ending an unborn child’s life. There are two different sides to this debate that include; people who are pro-life and people who are pro-choice. People who are pro-life believe in anti-abortion because they believe that it is wrong and killing a fetus is taking away a human life. On the other side of the controversy, people who are pro-choice believe that women should have the right to choose to have an abortion in order to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy. Many people have different views on this controversy and the article “Women Seek Abortions for a Variety of Different Reasons” talks about a study that asked women why they have abortions and compared the different reasons with each other.

Abortion is ‘the termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy.’ A hot topic as some would like to say. It has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. In 1973 the United States Supreme Court made the decision to legalize abortions in most of the fifty states. Today, that decision has caused citizens around the world, mostly women, to debate whether abortion is as cruel as murder or just a simple act of not wanting to bring an unwanted child into this world. Although there are many sides and arguments on this subject, when it comes to abortion you are either for or against it, there is no in-between. Many people believe it is unethical and even considered murder, these people are considered

In today’s society, we often have to deal with many problems, such as financial, global warming, or cancer. Yet, abortion is still one of the most controversial topics of all time. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus (Webster). The conflicts between pro-life and pro-choice has been a long battle which lead to numerous disaster violent cases. The conflict of abortion may due to ethical issue, women’s constitutional right…etc. Pro-life supporters believe that abortion should be ban because abortion is inhumane. Pro- choice supports stance on abortion is that women have the right to make their own choice. When does life begin? Is it moral for abortion? Questions like these should be considered when deciding if abortion permissible. I believe abortion is acceptable if the following factors are being consider when determining whether if the woman should have abortion: mother’s right, mother’s health, fetus’s health, mother’s financial status, and the stage of the fetus is in.

Abortion displays as a very broad issue in the society. People’s point of view on the issue vary from their different era, cultural background, religion, and different country system. Basically, the abortion issue is an irresolvable conflict between the right of women to control their own bodies and the right of children to be born. Women choose to have abortions for various reasons such as bad health, rape, they could not afford their kids, or they simply do not want to have a child at that point in their lives. All these reasons are valid and women should not have to justify to anyone for their decisions;

Abortion is a deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. There are series of legal, moral and ethical issues which may arise about abortion. Most arguments about abortion are often focused on political insinuations and the legal aspect of such actions. Some frequently asked questions’ regarding the issue is if the practice should be outlawed and regarded as murder or should women have the right to practice it. For example, prior to becoming pregnant, some women feel that they would be able to choose the abortion option without trouble. However, even with reasons why having an abortion would be the best option, some women feel that this decision would not be right for them. On the other hand, some women have a strong belief that abortion is unethical prior to becoming pregnant.

Abortion is, as defined by Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, “a medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus.” A procedure done within the first 9 weeks of pregnancy is done with medicines and the effects are similar to that of a natural miscarriage. This medicine can also be used from 9-20 weeks into pregnancy with heavier doses of the medicine. From 7-15 weeks of pregnancy, a suction termination is performed. This is where they use anesthetic and a suction tube is inserted into the womb and the fetus and surrounding tissue is removed. A late abortion from 20-24 weeks of pregnancy will require an overnight stay at a hospital. There are two options: a surgical two-stage abortion and a medically induced abortion. The first stage of a two-stage abortion will stop the heartbeat of the fetus and the second stage will be performed the next day and will involve removing the fetus and tissue. A medically induced abortion is where they give you a medicine that causes labor-like contractions and the procedure is similar to a late miscarriage. Abortion has been around for as early as 1550 BC. It was done before “quickening” or when the baby started to move by inserting a plant fiber covered with honey and crushed dates. In 1821, Connecticut put up a law about selling the poison that made abortions happen, but didn’t have a law about the women who took it. The early 1900’s were when most of the states in the U.S. had banned abortion. All 50 states had outlawed

Medical sciences have greatly advanced since the start of the 20th century. The understanding of the human has increased to such a point, where most cases can be treated without the need to undergo surgeries, and when that need arises, doctors can perform major surgeries with relative ease and safety, given the above mentioned advancements. However, such advancements have led doctors to understand the process of pregnancy, down to its minute details, which in turn has allowed physicians to administer drugs that can affect the pregnancy and terminate it. This procedure known as abortion, has been heavily criticized around the world, as it equates to the killing of the embryo, which individuals believe to be alive, thus drawing parallels between abortion and premeditated murder. Moreover such individuals claim that abortions remain dangerous as they can, in some cases, lead to some dangerous side effect that can affect the patients physically, and psychologically. However, others argue that abortions are useful as they help prevent unwanted pregnancies, and that individuals have the right to abort if they wish to. Consequently, it is clear that the subject of abortion has polarized individuals around the world, over the issue, as it is not as clear cut as most subject of debate. Thus it would be useful to analyze both sides of the arguments, and reach a middle point between the two viewpoints, in order to satisfy both sides. As such, it would be wise to admit that abortion
