Pro Life Legislation

Decent Essays
Dear,
Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate your taking the time to write to me about your stance on pro-life legislation.
We can both agree that life is a priceless gift that should not be taken for granted. The beauty of life is always around us and it is something that is often not appreciated enough. However, the choices you make in life should be left up to you. The beauty of America is the control our people have over their lives. The United States’ government should not impede on the lives of its citizens.
Thank you for your advocacy on this issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future should you have other comments or questions. Sincerely,
Al

    Pros And Cons Of Pro Life

    Throughout the time that I have been alive, the debate between pro life and pro choice has always been a big one. Usually, people with strong biblical beliefs side with pro life because they look at it as if you are killing a human and a chance at life given from God. Someone with very strong biblical beliefs is former Heisman Trophy winner, Tim Tebow. Tim Tebow led the Florida Gators to two National Championships, was a 3x All American, was selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft, and lastly, he always made sure his christian beliefs came through in everything he did. Whether that meant writing biblical phrases on his eye black, ending every one of his speeches with God Bless, and lastly, starring in controversial commercials defending pro life.…

    In 1970, Jane Roe was an unmarried and pregnant woman living in Texas. Texas law made it illegal to have an abortion unless it was “on medical advice for the purpose of saving the life of the mother.” Roe sued Wade, the district attorney of Dallas County, saying that it went against the guarantee of personal liberty and the right to privacy guaranteed in the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th, and 14th Amendments of the Constitution. In deciding for Roe, the Supreme Court invalidated any state laws that prohibited first trimester abortions. Women’s groups were happy with this decision, but there was opposition.…

    Roe v. Wade was the Supreme Court decision that granted the right to a legal abortion in the United States. Prior to 1973, procuring or attempting an abortion was a criminal offense under many state statutes, except when medically advised for the purpose of saving the life of the mother. This prohibited women who wanted to obtain an abortion from legally getting one. Roe v. Wade was filed in Texas in March 1970 on behalf of the plaintiff Jane Roe, a single and pregnant woman without the means or funds to access an abortion.…

    The main reason this was significant is because it included the pregnant woman's physical and mental wellbeing and did not just apply to saving the woman from death. In Bourne the continuance of the young girl’s pregnancy would have caused her to become a ‘mental wreck’. Bourne operated the abortion ‘in good faith’ and his purpose was to ‘preserve the life of the mother’. Bourne was acquitted on these grounds and the case was decided in his favour.…

    Abortion “From Roe v. Wade through 2011, nearly 53 million legal abortions were performed in the United States – an average of about 1.4 million abortions per year. At 2008 abortion rates, three in ten US women will have an abortion before age 45” (“Should Abortion” 7). Abortion is murder. For anyone to think that the beginning of life starts any time after the fusing of the woman’s egg and a male’s sperm is completely irrational. Even if life begins as a small cell, it still starts, nevertheless.…

    This has been one of the most controversial topics that has ever existed in the US. It was so major that the Us Government itself had to step in and confront the situation.

    The Abortion Act of 1967 was not extended to NI, where the Offenses against the Person Act 1861 remains the basis of abortion law imposing a maximum penalty of life imprisonment on anyone who performs an unlawful abortion (McKeown, 2013). In NI, a woman faced with an unwanted pregnancy, that does not fulfil the stated requirements, can either choose of carrying the pregnancy to term, seek an illegal abortion and risk endangering her health and life or, the most common choice, travel to England, or another European country, where abortion is legal (Social Development, 1992). According to the Department of Health (2016) more than 800 NI women travelled to Britain, last year, seeking for…

    There has been a long existing debate of “Pro-Life” versus “Pro-Choice” about whether or not women should be able to abort a child. Many people being Pro-Choice will use the argument that the fetus isn 't a living person, and rather that it is the woman’s body; therefore the woman’s choice. There are other options women have such as adoption: waiting until the baby is born and providing the child a well-suited family to properly care for them. I believe any way you can avoid aborting a child is better than abortion because you give the child a chance for life. An unborn child in the womb contains all of the characteristics for it to be considered living, proving abortion is morally and scientifically wrong.…
