I think they shouldn’t get rid of the law that girls can get an abortion because girls do get rapped and end up pregnant and of course they don 't want that child. It 's a bad memory for them why would they want to keep a nightmare for the rest of their life. I would not want to have that child myself. Another situation would be if you get pregnant you could die if you had the baby. Yes i think women should use some source of birth control, but not all birth control things work. Women should also think twice before having sex with someone. Women should ask themselves: Is this the right decision? What if i become pregnant? Am I able to take care of the baby and myself? If feel that this law has actually helped a lot of babies because some children should not grow up in a awful environment. Some women are not capable of taking care of a child so what 's best for them is abortion. If a women can Bradley 5 barely take care of themselves i do not think they should bring a child into this world.

    Abortion is defined as “the expulsion of a fetus from the uterus before it has reached the stage of viability, about 20 weeks in humans.” ("Abortion." Britannica School.) Every so often, an abortion isn 't necessarily planned, which is called a miscarriage. A miscarriage wouldn 't technically be an abortion, seeing as the majority of the time, they aren 't planned.

    Many women don’t know how abortion affects their baby, they just look at it as a way to fix a mistake they may have made by becoming pregnant in the first place. I don’t believe that this is right at all. In 2012, unmarried women accounted for 85.3% of all abortions. (U.S. Abortion Statistics) To me that seems like just a lot of women who felt alone, and like they couldn’t take care of a baby on their own. If more women were educated about abortion and other option, such as adoption, hundreds of thousands of babies wouldn’t have lost their lives in…

    An abortion is effectively a medical decision and it should be made between the mother and her doctor. A woman should not be forced to have a child, and it would make little sense for a woman to have a child when they may not be ready. It would be unfair to not only the mother, but the child as well, the child may not receive the level of care that it deserves. Mothers may choose abortion because they are not prepared to have a child, it makes no sense for the mother to be forced into parenthood. After the child is born, the only people that will be there to support it would be its parents, and if the parents are not ready, there will be no way for the child receive the care it…

    The big question is should we allow women to terminate their pregnancy and get an abortion? The answer is yes it should be allowed, because women have their reasonings for terminating the pregnancy (ranging from pregnancy by rape to not being able to support themselves and a child). It can be a controversial topic when it comes to when the woman wants to have the abortion, because when the woman reaches the 3rd week of her pregnancy the fetus begins developing and can feel what is being done to them. People believe that this is why they should ban abortion, but that’s not the case. Some women won’t know that they’re pregnant until after the 3 week mark and when they start suffering from pregnancy tendencies and habits. So banning abortion for…

    Women have a moral right to choose what to do to their own bodies. The right to have an Abortion should be part of pregnancy rights that enable women, to choose whether or not to terminate a pregnancy. 2% of abortions are requested due to sexual abuse forced upon the fertile women. 1% of these abortions are from children and 7.98% of these interactions from children result in the child becoming pregnant. You may argue that conception is conception but that is not the truth. If someone is physically harmed and pregnancy is the result. Then having that baby would serve as a reminder of the sexual abuse that the mother faced. There may also be medical problems which would significantly limit the quality of life for the baby that…

    The debate regarding abortion still remains today due to opposing sides: pro-life vs. pro-choice. Many people around the world have a different view on abortion. There are many people that are pro-life, meaning they oppose abortion and support the idea that women should not be able to terminate their pregnancy. They would say that abortion is equivalent to murder. There are also people who support the idea of pro-choice. Those that are pro-choice think that women should have the choice to have an abortion if they choose to. Abortion is currently legal in all 50 states throughout all nine months of pregnancy. After researching this issue thoroughly, I think that women should be able to decide for themselves whether or not they want to have an abortion. A woman should be able to decide for herself if she wants to terminate her pregnancy for various reasons and under certain…

    Lynne V. stated that “For many women, the circumstances surrounding an unintended pregnancy make deciding whether to have an abortion a difficult task,” after witnessing around one thousand abortions. Circumstances such as their job, income, living situations and relationship status’ cause them to struggle with an unintended pregnancy (V., Lynne). Before women make this decision, thirty-eight states require that the women are provided counseling before going through with the abortion (Monitor). If a woman is having difficulty coping with the abortion emotionally, they can be provided with “a post-abortion counseling session.” To receive this counseling they need to simply call the clinic. In addition to these counseling sessions, there are multiple websites that allow women to explore their post-abortions feelings (FAQs About Abortion Appointments). Along with the before abortion counseling sessions, the doctors have to choose between the variety of abortions. The two basic groups of safe clinical procedures are medical abortions and surgical abortions; and, the difference in using one versus the other is depended on the availability of the procedures and length of the gravidity (Lowen, Linda). If these safe, legal abortions are made illegal, at home abortions are likely to occur more frequently. At home abortions are much more…

    Abortion is a woman’s right to her body, and no-one should have the right to tell her what she can and cannot do. People argue about the foetus’ right to live, but are we putting the right of an organism that cannot survive on its own, over the woman who has to carry it? In 2015, 50% of adults in the U.S.A considered themselves ‘pro-choice’ and 46% ‘pro-life’. This is the biggest gap there has been. Abortions can be very emotionally taxing and are not cheap, costing NZD$350-500 in the first trimester or more depending the stage. Getting an abortion is not a choice a woman makes easily, but it is a choice she should be able to make.…

    In the early stages of pregnancy, the egg grows and develops into what is called an embryo. After three months of development, the embryo is then considered a fetus. What an abortion does is cause either the embryo or fetus to die. Abortions can occur in two forms: Either a spontaneous abortion may take place, which is the loss of a pregnancy resulting from natural causes. The other form is an induced abortion, which is where the fetus is purposely removed from the woman’s body. An abortion is the ending of a pregnancy before birth (Pamf.org,…

    One thing that almost everyone can agree on is that it’s the woman’s choice since it’s her body. She knows what’s best for her body. There are good reasons to use abortion in some cases. Sometimes life is too hard and abortion may seem like the only answer. If the woman has no family support or isn’t financially stable she won’t be able to take care of a baby properly. Abortion is mainly used due to cases of rape. Especially when the rape victim is a minor and gets pregnant. Medical issues play a big role is rape abortions. Since the victims can be so young that trying to have a baby could cause life threatening issues. Abortion may not be the only answer in cases of rape though, you could use adoption.

    Most women or girls who have sexual intercourse use contraceptives and still become pregnant due to malfunctions. About 85% of women who resort to abortion are not married, nevertheless, 51% of those women used the contraceptive method when they became pregnant. Moreover, only 8% of women who are sexually active have never used a form of birth control (U.S. Abortion Statistics). The reasons for these women not to keep their unborn child were: the child would interfere with school or work, they would not be able to afford the child, or they did not want to be a single parent (U.S. Abortion Statistics). Girls who become pregnant at an early age and most, if not all, of these reasons apply to them turn to abortion as a reasonable solution. Teenagers who become mothers have grim prospects for the future. “They are much more likely to leave of school; receive inadequate prenatal care; rely on public assistance to raise a child; develop health problems; or end up divorced” (Lowen). On average about 18% of teenagers result to abortions and in 2010 adolescents under fifteen counted as 0.05% of all abortions, but had the highest ratio 851 abortions: 1,000 live births (U.S. Abortion Statistics). With this being said, protesters against abortion should not be fighting for abortion laws, but to push for better contraceptives before it leads to a woman having to choose…

    Shouldn’t you be able to decide what you do with your body? How would you feel if someone told you what your could or could not do to your own body? This is the dilemma women face every day since abortion is constantly a topic of much debate. There are many opinions on whether or not women should be able to have an abortion or not. I think women should definitely be able to have an abortion if they want to. Women’s health can be affected if she is not able to have one, the fetus can’t feel pain, and overall it should be the woman’s choice.…

    Tom Anderson says, “Women should have the right to safe and legal abortions because it ensures them full responsibility and free participation in society.” Agreeing with Anderson, M. Lee and Nancy Sprague says not only should abortions be allowed but they should be a constitutional right. Brian Wilson disagreed and said, “Abortions should be outlawed because they are taking the lives of unborn children,” in addition to agreeing with him Lynn-nore Chittom and Heather Newton they are trying to get the supreme court to overturn the Roe v. Wade case. In a way I agree with both sides for different reasons because they both have their pros and cons. If abortion remains legal I think more and more women will become pregnant and feel a since of not having to be responsible. For example, if they get pregnant and it is unwanted then they want have to worry about the things that they have to get together before the baby is born the pregnancy can be terminated. On the other hand abortions can be a help to rape victims, women of incest and/or with health problems because if a women is of incest or is raped then they shouldn’t have to go through a full pregnancy term. Abortions should be outlawed because then women will think before they run free. If abortions are outlawed then the baby death rate will decrease and most of all unborn children will not be terminated. The bad thing…

    A woman will have to decide for herself, based on what she believes in, how her life will be with those beliefs, and who she will integrate with her decision. Abortion is not a choice for everyone, however for Pro-choice supporters is the right decision whether it is for convenience or to a woman who was a rape victim and wanted to end the pregnancy. It seems like an easy fix to a life problem that you can 't solve by yourself. If you start thinking about what will happen if abortions were made illegal, consequently a number of women will become injured or sterile as a result of the procedure. People will think that giving the child up for adoption could be the solution but in most cases, this can be very emotionally damaging for the child 's mother. The woman will also have to consider the complications that might happen during the birth, however, these risks are much less likely in…
