Feminist Critique

Thomson could argue against my theory of the wrongness of abortion in all cases. She could argue with the following. Abortion is only wrong if the fetus is deemed a person, and there is no way to determine if the fetus is or is not a person than it comes down to opinion. That being said, the mother does not have the right to end her child’s (fetuses) life. Even though a person has the potential to change the world it doesn’t mean someone else won’t.

One side of the argument is Pro-Choice, this is the side that is for abortion. This side believes each woman should have the choice to do what they want with their body, this thought process is what spurned the Roe vs. Wade case. Pro-Choice focuses strictly on the women who is pregnant. The idea that it is their body is a valid point, the idea that not all pregnancies are planned or even wanted is another point that the Pro-Choice movement will argue to defend their side of this abortion debate. Pro-Choice feels that the women’s civil rights are being violated by not having the choice to decide for themselves.

Based upon works by Betty Friedan and documents like Declaration of Sentiments, feminism to these “classic feminists” is defined by the oppression faced by upper class, white, heterosexual, cisgendered women. By doing so these groups have hindered the plight of modern feminism. By this historical outdated definition of feminism institutions such as

The social argument involves her having an abortion to maintain the status quo and saving her face in the society whilst the moral argument represents her religious views about abortions. She unsuccessfully tried to get abortion pills from the pharmacist but in the end, she committed the abortion after receiving abortion drugs illegally from the alleys at an exorbitant price. The abortion constitutes a moral question because it definitely affect the wellbeing of the unborn child. Also, it presents a moral puzzle because the actions of the mother(abortions) affects the unborn child negatively by either causing some deformity and disability to the unborn child or

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by eliminating a fetus or embryo from the womb before it can survive on its own. There is much debate over the moral, ethical, and legal issues of abortion. There are two sides on the issue of abortion that will be discussed. The first one is pro-life. These individuals are anti-abortion, which means they agree that an embryo or fetus is a human with a right to life.

Acts, such as abortion, which society considers necessary for the betterment of a young woman, are in direct contention with the sixth commandment, “ thou shall not kill.” Through the deliberate disregard for this commandment, all of the parties involved in the process of abortion are performing an intrinsic evil. Additionally, intrinsic evils are those actions that are evil in and of itself. St. John Paul II, in his encyclical Veritatis Splendor explains that intrinsically evil acts are those that are “hostile to life itself: homicide, genocide, abortion, euthanasia and voluntary suicide.” Since the act of abortion includes the intention to kill a developing individual, it can be deduced that the act of abortion, which is a decision that results in the death of a human being is intrinsically evil.

It should be noted here that while I agree that abortion is permissible, I am opposed to the claim that infanticide is permissible under regular circumstances. Moreover, while I agree with Singer’s final claim about abortion, I do not agree with his entire argument pertaining to infanticide for reasons described later in this paper. Further, I shall address a supporting view by advancing Judith Jarvis Thompson’s “Feminist Argument” for abortion as well as refuting an opposing view held by Don Marquis in an article titled “Why Abortion is Immoral.” The central argument against

The term fetus removal most regularly alludes to the instigated premature birth of a human pregnancy. The comparative methodology after the baby may have the capacity to get by on its own is medically known as a "late termination of pregnancy". Abortion has got to be basic in America yet in a few nations it is unlawful depending on your convictions and your backing. I personally I agree with that women may allow abort her child. Christians and Abortion said that religions have found ways to justify abortions numerous religions have discovered

As long as feminism considers women a well-defined category that's universally identifiable... it undermines its ability to represent women. Then reader approaches the theory of Sex versus Gender Feminism often splits the unity of women when it splits the idea of sex and gender. This distinction was first used to undermine the idea of "biology-as-destiny." But, if this distinction is pushed too far, then the idea of gender becomes disconnected from the body - and one never will understand the process of how sex and gender are socially assigned. Maybe sex is a gendered

The article, “Cultural Relativist and Feminist Critiques of International Human Rights – Friends or Foes?” by Oonagh Reitman seeks to address how cultural relativist and feminist sees the existence of the international human rights, specifically women’s human rights. The research problem being addressed is the similarities between these two critiques of international human rights and how these two critiques have come to defy one another when it comes to the term of women’s international human rights. The author has made it clear that this is a debatable issue. The cultural relativist argued on the universality of human rights, which contradicts with the statement that human rights are those held simply by virtue of being human and whose substance, form and interpretation are not subject to variations in culture (Donnelly 1989: 109-110). Cultural relativist uphold that culture is the principle source of any rights or rules, they argued that the existence of women’s human rights cannot be universally applied.

I am not pro-choice nor am I pro-life. I 'm part of a small percentage that falls in the middle of this heinous debate on whether abortion is murder. Pro-choice is not pro-abortion, they do not advocate for abortion over birth. It simply defending the right of woman to decide for themselves. Saying someone is pro-life means they believe the government has a duty to preserve all human life regardless of intent of quality of life.
