“It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish” (Mother Teresa). *** off of google….. Abortion has been a debatable topic for quite some years now; even though no one could ever seem to come to a consensus on whether it is wrong or right, good or bad; abortion was made legal on January 22, 1973. Abortion takes away the right to life from the unborn, innocent baby; it gives the woman way out of her responsibility and God given duty of motherhood. Abortion is a violent act that should never be legal under any circumstances. No woman should have the lawful right to abort a baby for her own selfish reasons.
Violent acts done deliberately should not be mistakenly represented as “rights”; they are an act of violence

So basically Foster is stating that if a woman gets pregnant, she is completely entitled to the “right” of killing an innocent being. Wrong. This incident occurs many of times within the United States and should be presented as an act of violence rather than a “right.” It would be as if someone walking down the street and shooting a newborn child, just because. The shooter within this incident would have consequences to pay, and so should any woman getting an abortion. During the procedure of an abortion, the doctor will take a tube and suck the baby out of the womb. This tube does not just suck the baby out as a whole. The tube rips off the legs, then the arms, then the head, and then the body, and then whatever is left inside of the mother. The results of this end in a painful, tragic death and loss of the baby. If this is acceptable for women to do, then why is it not acceptable for a man to go and shoot an innocent man on the streets? He would get jail time for this while a mother killing her baby gets no punishment and no consequences. Women who do not want a pregnancy should be no exception to the law for murdering a baby. Though Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, …show more content…
Sarah Weddington, a young lawyer in 1969, along with many other women by the late 1960s, viewed abortion as a women’s issue that was tied to winning quality for women in society,” (Caruana 17). Weddington thought this societal problem could be a victory for women; she, along with many others, felt that if they could get abortion approved, equality for men and women would be the same. “From Weddington’s point of view, the abortion laws-even the reformed laws in other states- took a woman’s control of her own body and gave it to the state and to physicians,” (Caruana 17). People in the 1960s believed and accepted throwing away millions of babies could prove they could make decisions for themselves and win over equality, and equality is definitely has nothing to do with taking another life or trying to prove that you have control over your own

    Not all the issues that are argued about in the United States are economic. A lot of them have to do with cultural beliefs. Of course the distribution of wealth, taxes, and government spending are major issues, but without basic equality for all U.S. citizens, solutions to these issues can’t work. Women don’t have enough say in their rights. Planned Parenthood offers women the option of having safe abortions for reasonable costs, yet politicians debate whether they should give money to this organization to keep it running.…

    When looking back upon American history, as a country we all seem to agree on the progress we have made as a country. We pride ourselves on our freedom; our freedom of speech, freedom of decision, and freedom of choice. Our political leaders stand up on a podium and sermonize to their citizens about how we are the “land of the free”, and how lucky we are to live our daily lives in a place where we are entitled to our own opinions and beliefs. However, as a society we do not seem to always practice what we preach. If there is anything we abuse as a whole, it is our ability to make independent choices.…
