...legal in the United States, abortion has been an ongoing controversial topic for many years, especially when it was legalized throughout America in the 1973 case of Roe vs. Wade. Present day statistics say that if abortion continues at the ongoing rate, about 1.2 million a year, almost ⅓ of American women will have an abortion at some point in their life. Abortion has become commonly used in America, yet many people are demanding to minimize the allowance to abort a child without realising the damaging effects it may have. Without the right of an abortion, the number of children being put up for adoption will increase, women will have a higher risk of being injured from trying to receive an abortion illegally, and ban other benefits of being able to have a safe, legal abortion. According to a 2014 study, 48% of people who participated in an abortion survey seem to believe that abortion is morally wrong. A large amount of people who are against abortion are mainly under the impression that having an abortion is considered murder. Pro-lifers (people...

...number of illegal abortions has decreased and the protection of woman has increased, this is because abortion has become more readily available, nevertheless that could change. The law regarding abortion and women’s rights are being observed at for changes for the worst, the elimination of abortion clinics, a diminution in the number of qualified abortionists and the harassing of women who consider an abortion. This raises an important question, “Should the decision of having an abortion be up to the mother or society?” To decide which choice is right, stakeholders will be analysed and issues surrounding abortion will be looked at. Though the ideal choice is for the mother to decide. Abortions are the deliberate termination...

...Active homosexuality is not a legitimate alternative lifestyle to heterosexual monogamy. Homosexual “marriage” and adoption should not be sanctioned by the state. This is because Marriage is a two-in-one flesh communion of persons that is consummated and actualized by acts which are reproductive in type, whether or not they are reproductive in effect (or are motivated by a desire to reproduce). Reproductive acts are unique in that they belong to a class of acts by which children come into being/are made. They are the ONLY class of acts by which children come into being as participants in an organic community or family established through the parent’s marriage Marriage is naturally ordered to the good of procreation as well as to the good of spouse unity. Unity is possible because of men and women, in reproductive-type acts, become a single reproductive principle. In marital acts of a male and female the bodies of persons who unite biologically are not reduced to the status of mere instruments because The end, goal, and intelligible point of sexual union is the good of marriage itself. Therefore, Homosexuality is not an alternative lifestyle to heterosexual monogamy. Homosexual marriage should not be sanctioned by the state because it alters the nature of marriage and the founding of a family. This occurs as the nature of marriage turns into simply a long-term erotic relationship. Once same-sex marriage is recognized, it severs “marriage” from its purpose of procreation...

...Abortion Thousands of women and fetus's die every year from abortions. These surgeries and medical procedures that are performed during an abortion have a high death rate and should be banned. Some people who have abortions have them illegally. Three reasons why abortions should be banned is because abortions are considered murder, which is illegal, the unborn already have rights that are protected, and abortions can harm or even result in death to the mother. Abortion is a very dangerous procedure that many women all around the world are dying from. Women in every thirty-four of one- thousand births die from abortions. According to the online document, Abortion, it states, "The World Health Organization estimates that complications from illegal abortions result in the death of forty-seven thousand...

...Good or bad is on your mind Abortion is a permissible or impermissible action depends on our thoughts since each of us has different view on abortion. Some people think it is normal to have an abortion because a woman has a reason to do so. Others think it is not ethical because abortion is take away an innocent life indirectly. Throughout the book I, Chapter I “On things in Our Power and Things not in Our Power” of Epictetus, the purpose of my paper today is to prevent people from their greedy of achieving what we can’t do because it is out of our power. A. God gives us a power to apply what we think toward an object or event, but it does not mean we can force others to think as we are. Epictetus states, “The Gods then, as was but right, put in our hands the one blessing, that is best of all and master of all, that and nothing else, the power to deal rightly with our impression, but everything else they did not put in our hands” (Epictetus). As it goes, abortion is an action and we have the right to think that that action is legal or illegal. However, we can’t judge some girls who get abortion because it is her choice and her life. With me, abortion is not bad if you have a serious reason....

...According to the World Health Organization, there are about 40-50 million abortions in a single year. Doing the math, this equals to approximately 125,000 abortions daily. W.H.O. also states, nearly half of pregnancies in the U.S.A. are unintended and twenty-two percent of these are terminated by abortion; that equals to four in ten of these pregnancies. Abortion is one of the most controversial social issues that has been debated for decades. Over past centuries, women’s reproductive practices, especially abortion, attracted the attention of a wide range of people. This includes medical professionals, religious groups, legal experts, politicians, scientists, women's rights organizations, and various other groups and individuals taking a strong...

...One of the most used argument against abortion is that it is murder. Anti-abortionists believe that upon fertilization, a new genetically human individual is created. This unborn is the unique living member of society and therefore has a fundamental right to life. Approving abortion is supporting taking the life of an innocent human being and it is morally wrong to kill, especially innocent lives who have not committed any crime. If life begins at conception, then how do we face the fact that about 30% of all conceptions end in miscarriage, often before the woman is even aware she’s pregnant? Should they all be punished for man slaughtering? [according to scientific page], prior to the 25th week in pregnancy, a human fetus is a non-conscious...

I am against abortion being deemed a “right” by the Supreme court of this Country. Pro abortionists are quick to point out how so many women would suffer at the hands of butcher abortionist doctors, were it not for the legalization of abortion.

...particular obstacle that has created barriers for women is the means of acquiring abortions and access to women’s health care without criticism. Anti-choice policy makers’ claim that restrictions are necessary in protecting the well-being and health of women, their pregnancies and their children (Burns, Dennis, Douglas-Durham), these claims are part of the hindrances of providing safety in women’s health care. What we are dealing with is policy makers putting many obstacles up for caregivers and patients to acquire safe and healthy means of terminating pregnancies that are unwanted, whether it is the fully mature female who did not have contraceptive or the 13 year...

...Since Roe was decided in 1973, there have been countless efforts by anti-abortion activists to enact state laws that restrict abortion rights, often in the guise of protecting women’s health. But few laws have gone as far as the Texas statute, which places so heavy a burden on hundreds of thousands of women across the state — particularly those in poorer rural areas — that it has effectively destroyed their constitutional right to an abortion. Lawmakers claimed that the law, which requires abortion clinics to meet the strict standards of ambulatory surgical centers and their doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals, was necessary to protect women’s health. Everyone knows this is a lie. Even the law’s backers have openly admitted...

...life of a child should not be terminated solely based on a mother experiencing an unwanted pregnancy. The second pro-choice argument is the idea that personhood is different from human life. Many pro-choice advocates distinguish between human life and personhood, and they believe that this distinction is important in the context of reproductive rights. Pro-choice advocates agree that a fetus is biologically human, as it has human DNA and is the offspring of a human parent. However, many pro-choice advocates argue that being biologically human is not the same as being a person, according to Planned Parenthood.org. I believe that since a fetus possesses human DNA, it should be classified as a human being. As we recognize individuals outside the room of human beings based on their DNA, we should give the same recognition to a fetus inside the womb. The third pro-choice...

...Introduction: Abortion should be supported because there are many variables that factor into the mother’s decision. Outsiders often look at the black and white in the situation; they do not know what that person is going through and have no right to dictate the mother’s life. At times, it is better to have an abortion instead of having the child born into a miserable life. Don’t Support: The are numerous amounts of reasons people disagree with abortion.
