Arguments Against Refunding Planned Parenthood

What do Meryl Streep and Barbara Bush have in common? Both are outspoken supporters of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization that provides, "vital reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of women, men, and young people worldwide" (plannedparenthood.org). Planned Parenthood has been federally funded since 1970; however, because it provides access to safe and legal abortions, pro-life activist wish to cut federal funding for the facility. This debate has been around for decades, but protesters need to realize that Planned Parenthood is a lot more than just abortions.

They are torn between these choices because they come from a religious family, in which abortion is illegal and they will become immoral if they decide to have an abortion. Thus, the couple is stuck in a battle between right and wrong as well as good, and evil. As the story proceeds, one will notice Wallace uses various writing techniques to depict his character, Lane Dean, in order to let readers gain a better understanding of him. For instance, he uses a third person point of view to describe Lane’s struggles, feelings, and thoughts. The usage of third person point of view in David Wallace’s “Good People” enables readers to learn Lane Dean’s struggles.

Abortion has been a sensitive topic for many years to come. A lot of people feel strongly against abortion, because of religious aspects. Then there are other people who think abortion is something that should be kept for certain reasons. For example, if a teenage girl got raped, there is the option of abortion. That is how the people view it, then there is how the government views it.

“The terms "pro-life" and "pro-choice" generally boil down to whether an individual thinks abortion should be banned or if it 's acceptable” (Head). There of course is more depth to the debate than that. Someone who is "pro-life" believes that the government has a commitment to preserve all human life, even if the pregnancy is unwanted, or what kind of life the child may have (Head). The pro-life movement argues that even a non-viable, undeveloped human life must be protected by the government. Abortion must not be legal according to this argument, and it shouldn’t be practiced on

However this pro-life view has gotten very convoluted. Often times recently people who believe in pro-life do not care about the child after they are born. Their lives are not cared for past birth. Pro-birth is a new term has been made for people who believe in the banning of abortion but not any of the legal aid to help the children and their families after the child is born. With the introduction of the term “pro-birth” pro-life’s meaning is slowly evolving.

Even though there are pressures to have an abortion women should not because it is inhumane, harmful to the mother, and harmful to the baby. First off,

They are an unwed couple expecting a child. The second part of this iron is that they are considering having an abortion, which is very frowned upon in their religion. As for the situational irony, the story is told from a third-person perspective but mainly focuses on Lane. The reader can see Lane’s thoughts and actions but can see only Sheri’s actions. The reader finds that Lane has a larger conflict than just the abortion because they are able to look into Lane’s thoughts.

The rhetoric mainly concentrates on the use of false information to indicate how more than 30 percent of women regret having an abortion. Nevertheless, statistics indicates that 95 percent of women do not regret abortion. Pro-lifers use narratives, such as the story of Jane Roe, the plaintiff in the case of Roe v. Wade, who once considered having an abortion (Linda 35). They also use extreme tactics, such as showing the woman an ultrasound to influence her into having the child. They also offer psychological counseling regarding the negative effects of abortion including mental illness.

Many people have opposing views whether abortion is a moral right that should be permissible. Even though that a life is being “taken away” and not giving it a chance to experience said life, the right to life argument is hypocritical and contradicts its own moral beliefs. In this essay, I will first explain what the right to life argument is against abortion, why Judith Jarvis Thomson thinks it fails and then will give my explanation why Thomson’s argument succeeds that abortion is morally permissible even if the fetus has a right to life. I will also consider objections and show why they fail. The right to life argument believes that abortion is morally wrong because of the simple fact that a life is literally being taken away by force—that it is equivalent to murder.

Background There are ongoing debates about abortion and they are very interesting because people come up with different worldviews. For Instance the Christian worldview abortion is forbidden, because it is against the commandments of God. In the postmodern worldview laws which are against or not supporting abortion are not acceptable. People who are against abortion are protecting lives of the unborn babies and the Christian worldview. Those who are for the idea of abortion are protecting women rights to choose and the postmodern worldview.

Perhaps his essay and argument was more difficult to follow. It is common sense that it is wrong to kill. His reading is not convincing to why it is that the unborn child is being robbed of its future through abortion. While this is true for the most part it is just too broad. His strongest point is simply that killing is not right and it does rob the victim of their future.

Abortion is a topic that causes controversy all over the world. In the case of Roe v Wade, abortion was declared legal, although many still question if this should be the case (5). Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, stating your opinion about the issue can create an outbreak of opinions. Yes, abortion is legal, and yes, women have the right to do with their bodies as they please. However, many consider abortion to be murder, which is not legal and can be punishable by death.
