    You succinctly described the need for fetal homicide laws. “Few topics in American jurisprudence have generated as much ideological debate as the status and rights of the unborn” (Holzapfel, 2002). As you noted, the unborn should be protected from violence due to their inherent vulnerability. “The experience of violence during pregnancy has been linked to a number of adverse fetal outcomes including low birth weight, preterm labor and/or delivery, low maternal weight gain, kidney infection, antepartum hemorrhage, cesarean delivery, fetal wastage/miscarriage and fetal/neonatal death” (Taillieu & Brownridge, 2010). By defining a fetus as a “person,” as a society we give notice to those that will do harm to pregnant women that they will be prosecuted…

    • 5 Pages

    In today’s society, a rising debatable topic within America is that of the legalism of late-term abortion. Even though deciding to abort a fetus is seen to be the right of the mother under the Roe V. Wade case, choosing to end the life of a fetus when it is viable is murder. The unique genetic code that is given to a fetus is proof that life also begins at conception. The legalization of late-term abortion should be abolished in all fifty states due to evidence that show that it is legally and ethically wrong and also that abortion does not have to be an option. Fetal viability is determined when a fetus is able to live outside the womb.…

    As a doctor, I see an enormous amount of teen and unwanted pregnancies. I also see mothers decide to have a baby with the intentions to raise and take care of the child, but sadly, not all mothers are mature enough to raise a baby, and eventually let another family member take the child. In todays world, women who are considering an abortion are forced to decide in just 24 weeks, and some politicians want to shorten that time or even abolish abortion fully. On the other, there are some people who are “pro-choice” meaning the believe the mother has the choice to abort the baby up to 24 weeks. I know of one case that is personal to me.…
