    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.…

    The major argument with abortion is taking the life of an unborn human. Fetuses are not independent of themselves, more so they are very dependent on their carrier for nutrition, oxygen and other supplements. Therefore, the child will not be able to survive outside the womb by itself. Abortion is ending the pregnancy, not ending the life of the baby. Pro-life activists argue fetuses are able to feel pain.…

    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.…

    Abortions are one of the most controversial topics debated, with their being two sides: “pro-life” or “pro-choice”. Pro-life advocates argue that an abortion is a woman's right to choose, and women should be able to make decisions that involve their body and health. Pro-life advocates argue that an abortion is considered murder, with the reason being that an unborn child is living, fully human, helpless and voiceless while developing inside the womb (K, Brown). Although countless individuals feel that abortions should be a woman's right to choose, abortions should be illegal altogether because it denies and deprives the rights of life, can result in medical complications and psychological trauma for women, and because of the fact that a fetus is capable of feeling pain. TFP Student Action states since the…

    Abortion is a huge problem that has caused a wide range of controversy all over the United States. There are two sides to the problem, which are people who oppose abortion or support it. Abortion becomes a big deal when trying to decide whether a fetus should be considered a human being already when a woman aborts. In my case I believe that a woman should not be able to abort a child inside her unless there is some type of serious medical issue where the child may not come out alive. When a woman aborts a child, they did not want, it is like the killing of another human being who had no say or ever did anything wrong to deserve it.…
