The Pros And Cons Of Abortion

During the first stages of pregnancy, the fetus is not considered to be a human being until the point of viability (birth). And murder is the unlawful killing of a human being. Where is the

The other side of that question is whether the government should have control over a woman’s body and forbid her to get an abortion. Pro-Choice, though it does take the side of legalizing abortion, it does not mean Pro-abortion. Pro-choice is the right in choosing whether to reproduce, adopt, or abort. I believe a woman should have the right to choose whether to keep the baby if she knows that she is willing to take up such a huge responsibility.

According to the 14th Amendment, “The State shall not deprive any person of life,

In the 1960's some states began to allow abortions to happen under certain circumstances. In 1973 the United States Supreme Court held in Roe v. Wade that the right of privacy protected women's right to end an unwanted pregnancy before the fetus has developed the capacity for viability outside the womb. Usually made around 24 weeks after conception. The states govern the terms under which legal abortions may be performed. In Roe v. Wade case it caused a controversy over the rights of the mother versus those of the fetus.

The ruling stated that the law violated the constitution, the courts legalized abortion at the federal level, so wade took it to the supreme court where there was a seven-two vote that, again, it violated her rights. “The Court argued that the Texas Constitution’s First, Fourth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual’s ‘zone of privacy against

Instead of having an abortion, women can choose a more beneficial option, such as giving the baby up for adoption. When women decide to get an abortion, they don’t think about adoption because of the long process, even though it can help other families who can’t have children. For example “It’s logical that anti-abortion organizations seeking to prevent abortions and promote traditional family structures would aggressively promote adoption, but this connection is often overlooked…”(Joyce). Many women that get pregnant with an unwanted child usually look into having an abortion first rather than going through the long process of pregnancy and giving the baby up for adoption. Furthermore, “In President Obama 's speech… he suggested that one solution to lowering abortion rates is making abortion more available”(Joyce).

. If one believes life starts at conception then abortion would be regarded as immoral and wrong at any stage of the pregnancy. If one believes life starts when a heart beat is first registered, then only from then on the abortion would be regarded as immoral and wrong; and so on. This proceeds as true with supporting evidence straight from the categorical imperative – if one decides that killing their neighbor, parent or child is not okay, then killing a zygote/embryo/fetus is regarded as immoral. However another point of view could be taken.

As new government officials with different ideas plan to change the way contraception is looked at, the future of Sanger 's legacy

Finally, a murder would have to involve a person outside of the womb in which the fetus is still inside. The first argument against the idea that abortion is murder is that it is the woman’s body and therefore it is her decision. Since it is the decision of the mother to terminate life it is not murder. The mother is willing for a certified doctor to perform the operation within her body. With this being said it shows how the mother is comfortable

In the third trimester when a fetus is capable of surviving outside a woman’s body abortions are illegal, only the government can interfere. This sparked great controversy out side the courts and inside the

Women should have control over her reproductive rights. We would be taking a step back if we got rid of Roe vs. Wade. Additionally, having taxpayers fund contraceptives and abortions can be a positive thing for all women especially women in poverty. Not all women have the financial outlet to pay for contraceptives and abortion.

The question of abortion should not be placed in the government 's hands. Lastly, Donald Trump and I do not agree on how to deal with refugees. I agree with Gary Johnson’s approach. He believes that they should be let into the United States after extensive background checks and continuous monitoring to ensure they do not have any terrorist connections. I believe that as a strong and developed nation we should help at least 100,000 refugees.

The main issue in regards to the federal protection of a fetus is whether to treat the mother and child as two separate entities or as one single person. Parties to both sides of the argument provide very compelling reasons as to why one should be considered over the other. For example, prosecutors argue that the fetus should be considered a separate entity from the mother and that any harm that is caused to the fetus by another, including the mother, should be considered a criminal act (Elliott, 2013). Opponents, however, argue that this could backfire and jeopardize a woman’s right to choose an abortion and therefore prefer to only recognize the mother as the only victim (NCSL, 2015). Another issue involves the way each state differentiate

In the early part of the 2000-2010 decade, major conflict over abortion laws was over termination of late pregnancies, termed "partial birth abortions" by those who oppose them. Pro-choice advocates maintain that such abortions are to save the life or health of the mother or terminate pregnancies where the fetus cannot survive birth or cannot survive much after birth. Pro-life advocates maintain that the fetuses may be saved and that many of these abortions are done in cases that aren 't hopeless.   The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act passed Congress in 2003 and was signed by President George W. Bush.

The Fight against Abortion “I noticed that everyone who is for abortion has been born.” The truth revealed in this statement by Ronald Reagan is that not all people who have been given the gift of life want to give it to those who have not yet been born. There have been more than 59 million abortions in the US alone since Roe v. Wade made it legal in 1973 (4). This number is hard to believe. To put it in perspective, this is five times as many deaths as those who were killed in the Holocaust, yet abortion is in some people’s minds perfectly acceptable.
