Libertarianism And Abortion

391 Words2 Pages

Libertarians believe in personal freedom, and this personal freedom should not be infringed upon unless the freedom being taken harms another party (Sandel 59-60). This freedom is much like the freedom Haidt supports, having liberties without an outside force affecting them with the exception of pleasures and inclinations. Libertarians believe in abortion because they believe in personal rights. If a woman doesn’t want her baby, she shouldn’t have to have it. The baby would be impressing on the woman’s personal rights; therefore, due to the violation of rights, what should be removed is the source of the problem. Even though babies are considered living things, they do not have the same liberties of a human being because they can understand

    It uses the words stated in the Declaration of Independence that “all citizen’s have unalienable rights,” even though the topic abortion was not discussed during the time of the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. The article then brings up how new science can show a child with an ultra-sound in the womb and the image of the baby on the screen confirms the life of the child who has a right to live. Later, it then argues the decision between Roe v. Wade should be reversed and rejected due to the fact it legalizes the murdering of unborn babies. Finally, at the end of the article it states that a generation could pass and the opinion on abortion will still matter and everyone will always have a different opinion on that controversial topic. “It is a moral issue because it confronts fundamental issues of right and wrong, of life and death,”(RNCforlife.com.)

  • Mary Anne Warren's Rights Of Abortion

    794 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mary Anne Warren establishes a belief that a fetus’s right to live is overruled by an expecting mother’s right to an abortion because it is not a technically a true person until it is born. Warren supports her argument by saying that a nearly full-developed fetus is no more significant than a small embryo because “…it is not fully conscious… it cannot reason or communicate message… and has no self-awareness” (Warren, page 499). In contrast, our text states that “…some fetuses develop the capacity to survive outside the womb…” after nearly being two-thirds fully developed; this means that a fetus is ultimately capable of communication and awareness through it’s movements (Munson and Lague, page 469).

    Whose choice is it? Organizations such as “Planned Parenthood” are telling people that abortions are completely fine for pregnant women to get. There are many “Pro-Life” groups opposed to this program. Abortion is not morally correct because it is unfair to children that do not have a choice, a fetus is still human, and killing humans is murder, and couples can prevent pregnancy with birth control or abstinence. Pro abortionists argue that women should have a choice in whether or not they want a child.

    The study is anchored on the theory about an argue that abortion is an ex postbirth control method that provides sexually active women (at risk of a pregnancy) insurance in the event of an unintended pregnancy.

    Sadly, this right is violated when performing abortion. People who support abortion say that the fetus in the womb is not considered a human being yet, so it does not kill or harm anyone. “In fact, unborn babies probably feel pain more intensely than adults. This is a uniquely vulnerable time since the pain system is fully established, yet the higher level pain-modifying system has barely begun to develop.” (Ranalli) The babies inside the womb feel pain, they are no different than an already born baby or an adult.
