Persuasive Speech

Topic/Title: Abortion should be legal.
General Purpose: To persuade
Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience that Abortion is an individual’s choice and abortion should be legal under certain circumstances and following strict guidelines
Central Idea: Abortion is subjective to an individual’s moral and not by society’s morality. Safe and legal abortion with strict guidelines can save women’s lives.

Attention Getter: A 16-year-old girl decided to have an abortion in an expensive private clinic and it was over quickly with no complications. She decided to have an abortion because her mom was angry and she was a disgrace to the family at the young age she was pregnant. After 4 years, she was pregnant again and decided to have an abortion again because she was not ready. This time it almost killed her. Not all women will be as lucky as she will.

For example, if a woman had sex with different men and one of those men got her pregnant and her only solution is abortion because she is not ready to have a child, to me that is immoral. Per US National Library of Medicine, reasons why women have an abortion are as follows: 74% of women have abortion because it might interfere with their careers, education, and ability to care for dependents, while 73% of women have abortion because she could not afford to have a child. CDC reported that only 12% of women had abortion due to physical problem with their health and 1% of women reported that they were survivors of rape. One per cent (of aborting women) reported that they were the survivors of rape. 73-74% of women had abortions due to selfish reasons and according to my religious beliefs; this is immoral. However, what is immoral to me might be moral to many women depending on how they define morality is. (Abort73.com,

    Abortion will always be considered immoral, that is when the issue is viewed through a deontological paradigm. The fact is pondering abortion through the prism of deontology is viewing the procedure with no context, and reducing the situation to a life or at least the possibility of one is being terminated. It should be reasonably apparent that this argument and viewpoint is substantially impractical. When immersed in the actual varying circumstances of our world, there are several factors that go into the decision to have an abortion. All of these variables must be taken into account, as much as possible prior to making a proper decision.…

    Don’t burn the buns in the oven About 1.1 million abortions are performed each year and about 51% of those women are under the age of 25. These statistics show that young adults are getting the idea that it is okay to just throw away lives because it is more convenient for them. Despite today’s society telling women that they can do what they want with their bodies, they should not have the option of abortion. Despite people saying that abortions are safer than natural childbirths, studies show that getting an abortion is actually more harmful.…

    When people say that in general abortions are immoral, but there could be exceptions, it is not considered that mostly all abortions are cases of exceptions. However, there can be not so extreme reasons, but may be only parents who cannot support a child, because of low income, or potentially sick children, or plenty of other reasons, which eventually can bring even worse consequences. For example, recently in Kazakhstan a young girl gave a birth to a child and then threw him on the road through the window of a car. Probably, that baby died painfully, and he was already born, he already had all feelings, is it worse than making an abortion? Hence, nobody does an abortion if everything is good and bright, just for…

    So when put into perspective, it is unethical to take away the choice of having a safe abortion. People also claim that it is irresponsible to consent to intercourse if one is not ready to care for a child, but there are many other situations and circumstances that they’re not considering. For example, the patient could have been a victim of rape, they could be aware that the baby isn’t going to be born healthy, or they could simply not have the recourses to care for the child. And lastly, consenting to sex is not the same as consenting to pregnancy; a child should be a gift to those who want one, not a punishment for those who…
