Arguments For Abortion Essay

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 …show more content…
In the U.S these are the statistics; 25% can’t afford a baby, 4% have to attend school or a career and don’t have time to care for a child, 8% lack maturity to have a child. 9% have relationship issues, 20% finished with childbearing and don’t want anymore children, 27% are not ready/poor timing, .1% have a rape baby and no longer want the baby, because of that constant reminder, 3% have mental concerns, and 4% have fatal health concerns. Each reason are different, but each are as reasonable and understandable just like other reasons. Some people don’t believe that abortion should be banned, but women who didn’t use protection should be allowed to have an abortion, but why should the right to have an abortion change for someone who believes that it’s the right choice for them? I believe that the constant banter on women getting an abortion and wanting to terminate the pregnancy is discouraging women to make that choice for themselves, because they’re letting other beliefs influence them to change their mind on getting an …show more content…
What one solution could be is having a doctor tell the women an alternative ot getting an abortion, but not in a persuasive way, because they would be pushing their beliefs on the woman who is wanting the abortion. Instead doctors should give woman informative information on the different options/alternatives to getting an abortion, that way it’s still their choice and the woman could end up following through with the pregnancy and either keep the child or put the child up for adoption. What wouldn’t work is banning abortion, because then women would no longer have that freedom to choose what they do with their bodies, because their option that they believe is the right one is now banned, preventing them from making that choice for

    All human beings care for their safety. This is due to their natural fear of death. Especially when people have close, caring, connections with others, their concern for others is just as strong as their concern for themselves. Families automatically have connections, but the love within them is not always there. Mothers who abort their children do not show much love for their child.…

    In today’s societies around the world, there is currently two factions of the highly controversial topic of abortion and whether it should be allowed or outlawed. These two factions on opposite sides are pro-choice and pro-life. Pro-choice supporters in essence believes a woman has the right to an abortion if she decides to do so. On the other hand, pro-life supporters believe the fetus is its own human being and has the right to live, thus an abortion cannot be performed on the woman. Judith Jarvis Thomson, a philosophy professor supports the right to an abortion in her paper, “A defense of Abortion” (186).…

    One reason abortion is a social issue is because people don’t know whether it should be either illegalized or legalized everywhere.

    Mark Ruffalo once said, “There was no mistake in us making abortion legal and available on demand. That was what we call progress. Just like it was no mistake that we abolished institutional racism in this country around the same time.” We have came a long way since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade court case which ruled abortions legal, but there is still a lot of nationwide discourse on the subject. America as a country made the vote to legalize abortion more than four decades ago for many reasons such as overpopulation, the mother's well being, and for the fact that the decision should be left to woman carrying the child.…

    I.Introduction The topic of abortion is currently one of the most controversial issues. The 1973 supreme court ruling of Roe v. Wade allowed for women to legally obtain abortions throughout their entire pregnancy, however, conditions were put into place that allowed for states to regulate abortions during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The right to have an abortion is protected under the constitution’s 14th amendment which protects the basic rights of citizens. This ruling has left our country divided in half by those who are for and against abortion. Those who oppose Roe v. Wade are referred to as pro-life and those in agreement are pro-choice.…

    On average, there are 293,066 sexual assaults on women ages 12 and up every year in the United States of America. If you do the math, factor in the leap years, that comes down to about one sexual assault of a woman anywhere from the age 12 and up every 107 seconds. What if some of these sexual assaults ended in pregnancies? About 5.0% of them do, although it may not seem like much, it 's important.

    Women must become knowledgeable on ways to either prevent pregnancy, or alternative methods such as adoption. The numbers of abortions per year need to make their way down, and abortions need to become an absolute last resort, not just an easy way out. Abortions have been around for a long time, and it does not seem like they will be going anywhere any time soon, therefore everybody should be educated on abortions and the risks related to them. The three methods of abortion, aspiration, the abortion pill, and dilation and evacuation, come with many side effects and risks. It is important that the woman knows what she really wants, so there is no regret or guilt afterwards and she must also know the risks associated with an abortion before having one.…

    If people and religious groups want to stop abortion, they should turn to methods that do work. These include comprehensive sex education and safe, affordable contraceptives. Unfortunately, as illogical as it sounds, the people who are most against abortion are also often most against these preventative measures. If they truly wanted to reduce the number of abortions that occur, they would embrace these methods. Although abortion rates have dropped over the years, that does not necessarily mean the views on abortion have changed, it means that with science evolving and new research coming to light, there are other options to take advantage of other than abortion, such as new contraceptive methods, which is why the rate of abortion has dropped…
