Marjorie Dannenfelser's Argument Against Abortion

Before Roe v. wade the number of deaths from illegal abortions was around 5000 and in the 50s and 60s the number of illegal abortions ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year. These illegal abortions pose major health risks to the life of the woman including damage to the bladder, intestines as well as rupturing of the uterus. The choice to become a mother must be given to the woman most importantly because it’s her body, her health, and she will be taking on a great responsibility. A woman’s choice to choose abortion should not be restricted by anyone; there are multiple reasons why abortion will be the more sensible decision for the female.

“I cannot understand anti-abortion arguments that centre on the sanctity of life. As a species we've fairly comprehensively demonstrated that we don't believe in the sanctity of life. The shrugging acceptance of war, famine, epidemic, pain and life-long poverty shows us that, whatever we tell ourselves, we've made only the most feeble of efforts to really treat human life as sacred.” - Caitlin Moran Abortion does what contraception does not necessarily do: it works. Let the abortion be as it is, it is the mother’s body and she can abort it as she wishes. The mother is not neglectful to have a baby, the mother may not be able to financially provide, the mother could have been raped, the mother could have not believed in adoption. The mother could have

There are two sides to this debate in which individuals identify themselves as either “pro-choice” or “pro-life.” Supporters classify themselves as pro-choice, and argue “that choosing abortion is a right that should not be limited by governmental or

In today’s world, abortion is a very controversial subject that has been argued continuously over the past years. Abortion is the termination of a human pregnancy, typically done before the embryo or fetus is capable of life. The most asked question is should abortion be legal? Talking about abortion, there are two sides to this topic, Pro-life and the Pro-Choice side. Those who are against abortion entirely are pro-life, and those who believe it is the woman’s right to choose are pro-choice. The solution for pro-life is to have the child and give it up for adoption, or raise it. The solution of abortion is ethically wrong and should be illegal because for the mother and the child there are consequences as a result of an abortion. People think that abortion is their solution to get out of a situation they weren’t being

Jane Roe was pregnant and unmarried in the state of Texas in which it was illegal to receive an abortion unless her life is at stake. Roe said she has the right decide whether to have an abortion or not to have an abortion. According to the Court, privacy is important and one of the principal values of the Bill of Rights.

The subject of teenage pregnancy is an emotional and overwhelming one. Sitting with dozens of patients waiting for her preceding abortion a pregnant teenager glances nervously at the various signs with bolded phrases like, “Stop! Save your baby,” or “Choose Life!” written across, held by anti-abortion protesters outside the PPFA clinic door. They would be seen chanting the values of life and how “aborting” is defined as “killing” a future individual. In pro-lifers eyes, Planned Parenthood operates “inhumane” and “remorseless murders” on fetuses, throwing their body parts out of the clinic’s windows or selling them out for extra wages.

Abortion is one of the most controversial topics discussed in our world today. Millions of fetuses never got a chance to be born because a mother chose to abort them. Although I do not believe in abortion, I believe a woman should have the right to decide whether to have a baby or not. Our textbook presents views and arguments on the issues.

According to Gale, an online library, defines abortion as “a medical or surgical procedure that ends a pregnancy” (Abortion). The ethnic issues behind abortion that has been going on for many years. 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. Two articles, by Pope John Paul II and by Raymond J. Adamek, these men feel that abortion is not morally correct and is murder. Even though abortion has become a common procedure in America, one still asks if abortion

In “A Defense of Abortion,” Judith Thomson argues with a unique approach regarding the topic of abortion. For the purpose of the argument, Thomas agrees to go against her belief and constructs an argument based on the idea that the fetus is a person at conception. She then formulates her arguments concerning that the right to life is not an absolute right. There are certain situations where abortion is morally permissible. She believes that the fetus’s right to life does not outweigh the right for the woman to control what happens to her own body. This, however, does not mean that she agrees that in all situations the choice to have an abortion wouldn’t be self- centered or callous.

The conflict over abortion in America has been a major social problem in our nation for decades. During the 1960 's and 70 's with the coinciding civil rights movement and women’s rights movement, abortion became the new national issue that we still see today between two opposing ideologies, grouped into sides coined as pro-life and pro-choice. It is one of the biggest debates over whose morals and beliefs are adequate for our society that make the abortion issue such a controversial and divisive one. Each side believes that their views and beliefs are what we are a society should follow and belief.

Abortion and reproductive justice is a hot topic right now. With left and right wing legislators trying to support or reject reproductive justice rights, it is everywhere we turn. Our class guest speaker, Carly Class, works for the Southeastern divine for Planned Parenthood in Florida. To many, Planned Parenthood is an abortion clinic, but it does so much more than terminate pregnancies. She went over the services that Planned Parenthood provides as well as the definition of reproductive justice.

Her well-developed and valid premise holds value and presents a strongly reasoned argument, backed by extensive research she conducted. Premises and Rationales Tanya Luhrmann upholds her evidence behind every premise regarding abortions, the unfair treatment of the fetus, and “Pro-Life” beliefs. She explains that, “...the issue that provokes such anger surrounds the fetus’s right to life--its status as a potential human being” (Luhrmann, 1979, p. 1). Luhrmann addresses the importance of legalizing and creating safe procedures during abortions

“It’s real easy to say you’re 100% against abortion when you’ll never have to make that decision.” - Anonymous. Women everyday have to make that decision, to decide whether or not to have an abortion, but the catch is most of those women are in circumstances where they cannot gain access to an abortion. “Approximately 25% of the world's population lives in countries with highly restrictive abortion laws” (Abortion..) Women in 74 different countries who have, intentionally or unintentionally, fallen pregnant are not allowed to have an abortion. For many people the idea of not having complete and utter control over their body is unfathomable, as it should be. Abortions must be permitted; they need to become a standard medical procedure. Abortions have to become a standard medical procedure regarding, Margaret Sanger’s fight to have access to abortions and

Hillary Clinton This paper will bring three points of Planned Parenthood related with Hillary Clinton along with my thoughts about her speech. The first point will talk about my relationship with political, Hillary Clinton’s statement about women’s health/the reproductive rights, and Hillary Clinton’s strong dream to give women’s right back to them away from government, religious and all another invert women’s right to make their own decisions. Those three points will bring me closer to understand what going on with Planned Parenthood with Hillary Clinton’s perspective.

As her white river raft hits the treacherous rapids, she ensures that she does not just emerge but emerge stronger. As the CEO of the controversial Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards does make sure that her beliefs and her company emerges stronger each time they take a hit. I admire Cecile’s for the way she handles the criticism she is hit by, for her ambition to fight for what she believes in, and for her dedication and passion. Cecile deals with a numerous amount of reproductive health issues. For example, the on-going battle of abortion that all started with Roe vs. Wade in 1973 makes Planned Parenthood a target for anti-choice activists.
