Richard Murdock Arguments Against Abortion

478 Words2 Pages

In discussions of Abortion, one controversial issue has been is Abortion considered murder or is it considered rights for a women to be able to kill a fetus? On the one hand,the pro-life argues that abortion is murder and anyone who does an abortion is anti-life. On the other hand, pro-choice contends that abortion is a free choice and gives rights to the women. My own view is that abortion is murder and there's other options other than killing a innocent baby. However, there are exceptions in regards to rape. Richard Mourdock argues that abortion shouldn’t be acceptable even if that woman is a rape victim. Mourdock said that a baby was a gift from god. “..even when life begins in a horrible situation like rape, it is something that God intended to happen.” Although I do agree with Mr. Mourdock, I feel like even if women get raped then it is not okay for them to get an abortion, because the women don’t put themselves out there to get raped and they shouldn’t have to have a baby and remember everyday that their baby is from someone who raped her. …show more content…

Filipovic believes that women have the choice to choose when they get pregnant, have babies and raise children. Filipovic states, “I am pro-choice because I believe that if we outlaw a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy, there is no legal argument against forcing a woman to terminate a pregnancy, or disallowing certain people from reproducing.” Basically she is saying that women have a right to abort a baby and that there is no legal document forcing the women to abort her baby. Although Jill has a point that women deserve to control whether or not they are ready to have a baby or not, I disagree with her because a women shouldn’t punish the baby by aborting it just because she messed up and got

    Summary While anti-abortion legislatures have been passing ‘Women’s Right to Know’ policies for over two decades, a more recent trend has been to add a mandatory viewing of an ultrasound to the state-mandated informed consent procedure. Whereas abortion advocates argue that these laws are unethical and may cause psychological harm to a woman seeking an abortion, the anti-abortion activists stand behind these policies saying that viewing an ultrasound promotes a bond between mother and child and helps the woman to make a more informed decision. Evidence demonstrates that ultrasound viewing does not deter a woman from having an abortion, but may illicit a range of emotional responses, including some negative feelings.

    There are many women who have been raped and it can be argued that ethically they have the right to have an abortion as they did not choose to get pregnant, but in Christianity’s view a life is a life, regardless of how it occurred. Christians are said to be apart of the pro-life arguments (Ridder, Karen. "Abortion: 5 Pro-Life Arguments Made by Christians.) Abortion runs counter to most Christian beliefs. Even those denominations that support the right, believe that abortion is most-often not the right choice.

    It was not her fault she got pregnant, and regardless of how the child was conceived, it is her body and should be her choice. Giving birth when conception was not desired can be very challenging. Everybody has their own opinions on what they would do if they were raped and got pregnant, so shouldn't people have the option to follow the path they please instead of someone saying that you don’t have any other option but to carry it to term? Our current government possesses the authority to say people don't have a choice, and they shouldn’t. As John Locke said “being all equal and independent…” means nobody has the right over anyone else because we are all equal.
