The woman’s right to abortion has created such turmoil around the world because it goes against people’s religious beliefs. It is also seen as the murder of a human. In the articles, “Abortion Should Be Legal” by Stephen Currie and “Abortion Should Not Be Restricted” by Diana Brown, both authors agree that abortion should not be illegal and considered as an acceptable practice by society.

Due to the complex nature of abortion and the surrounding issues, many ethical issues have risen in reasonable to the legislation of abortion. Currently in England abortion is legal, however it is not freely given at the request of a women. In order for a women to gain permission for a abortion to go ahead the signatures of two doctors is required on the basis of restrictive legal criteria. However is other places around the world such as countries in South America, and North Africa, women are prevented from being able to access abortions legally and safely. Mary Ann Warren highlights the issues surrounding not allowing women to access abortions.

Abortion is full of excuses, going against God’s will, and murder. America should reconsider the laws and regulations of the countries soon to be mothers. Because abortion is a deliberate termination of a human life, women should not legally have the option to choose one. Making excuses for reasons a mother can kill her baby is wrong. For example, a mother having a baby she doesn’t want is no excuse to end a life.

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.

The fundamental idea of equal treatment for women and men under the law largely diverges in areas concerning women’s bodies. The legislature has been constructed using masculine narratives as the legal norm, which only serves to further marginalise women in areas concerning reproduction, or lack thereof. Pregnancy brings with it restricted bodily autonomy and a reduction of basic human rights, with the woman’s primary purpose shifting to that of being the person responsible for maintaining the life of the fetus. As men have been used as the baseline in the legislative system, women’s bodies, especially in relation to reproductive rights, have become the subject of public discourse over legal control. Law has developed within a patriarchal

"Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy,most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy" (Merriam Webster). Abortion is legal in most parts of the world,but is still a highly controversial subject. Although many believe abortion is the killing of a human being, which defies the word of God, abortion should be legal because "a woman's body belongs to herself so she should be free to do what she deems necessary for her body" (Sexinfoonline). The choice to abort a fetus growing inside a woman's body should belong to only herself.

Just as the pro choice supporters believe that women have right to choose, the life of the unborn matter just as much. Abortion is taking the life of our society’s most helpless, defenseless, and vulnerable beings. Some may argue that it abortion is necessary for those women that have endured rape or because of a medical conditions that may harm the mother or the child, or even as a means to control family size. Center for Reproductive Rights suggest that, respect for a woman's right to plan her family requires governments to make abortion services legal, safe and accessible to all women. There are a number of circumstances in which abortion may be a woman's only means of exercising this right.

As abortion is one of the most controversial topics, there has been a lot of debate about it, whether people are opposing or defending abortion. There is one worldview that defends the idea of abortion, which is the secular worldview. The secular worldview is people who view things based on human logic, understanding, intuition and reason, and it is not adopted from spiritual teachings or religion. According to the secular worldview, abortion is right because of women’s right, fetus in the womb is not yet human, and rape or incest.

Abortion is not only a fluctuating concept in our society, but an ethical and emotional debate, as well. The image I have chosen presents concepts from a cultural and historical background, as well as presents an ethical, emotional, and logical appeal to the audience. The debate about abortion has simply been overblown and exhausted. The truth of the matter is, abortion is murder. Ending a life, whether innocent or guilty, is murder.

A pressing women’s right issue that has divided the nation for the last 40 years is Abortion. It’s a procedure in which a woman medically terminates her pregnancy, this option to terminate a pregnancy has come under great fire due to moral permissibility and ethical concern. The right to abortion was granted on a constitutional basis under the landmark decision by the supreme court case, “Roe Vs. Wade” but has been attacked and attempted to be dismantled by sweltering opposition by several special-interests groups.

The act of banning abortion is making the rights of women regress rapidly, and many are outraged by it. Pro-Life protesters argue that it is unethical for a woman to receive an abortion as it kills the life of an innocent being, but, they do not think of the lives of the women. Without the abortion, a womans’ life can be destroyed. is being
