Informative Speech On Abortion

Abortion
Specific purpose: At the end of my speech, the audience will be convinced and capable of taking the right side in the contentious issue of abortion.
Introduction: It seems ironic that people can get so emotional when it comes to animal rights, yet see no wrong in ripping a developed baby from the protection of the mother. For about the last three decades, the issue of abortion has polarized this nation. Some have argued strenuously that abortion should be legal through all nine months of pregnancy, and for almost any reason. Whereas others have argued just as strenuously that abortion is the killing of a human being, and so should not be legal, except perhaps when a pregnancy endangers the life of the mother. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) (January 2012), approximately there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions done every year, this corresponds to almost 125,000 abortions per day. The controversial issue of whether or not a woman has the right to decide to have an abortion is a decision that involves ethical, legal, religious, social and psychological aspects. Abortion is an intentional violent act that kills an unborn baby. Arguments for abortion are unlikely to convince us. You can 't justify killing an unborn human being. In this speech, we will talk about the violence performed within abortion, how it affects the mother and why some of the people approve to this act.

    Living in a world filled with people of different cultures, religions, and personalities, it is impossible to think that with every situation that presents itself in American that mutual agreement upon it will be made. In the news, we constantly hear debates about gay-marriage, police brutality, racism, and many other incidents in America that bring out the inner activists of our people. Most debates over these controversies are no surprise to the public because they have been going on for years. One in particular is the debate about abortions.

    In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court had decided to legalize abortions; since then, there have been more than 58 million abortions performed in the United States. According to Snyder in his article, “every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion.” Why is it that the 9/11 tragedy, which killed almost 3000 people, is still a huge issue up until today, but when it comes to the issue of abortion, almost everyone is taking it for granted? People might think that the unborn babies feel no pain, but believe it or not, surgeon Robert P. N. Shearin claims that they can experience pain as early as 8 weeks old!

    There are few things in this world that will strike more fear into the heart of a woman—or a man, for that matter—than an unplanned pregnancy. Now the woman faces a choice: does she carry the fetus to term, or does she terminate the pregnancy? There are countless reasons for both options, such as the mother’s health, the health of the fetus, religious views, and how the mother was brought up. There are some instances in which a mother could feel that she could not rely on her family for support, such as cases of rape and incest. In this paper, I will take a categorical approach to show you how abortion can be ethical.…

    Abortion, in less harsh terms, is the termination of a pregnancy due to reasons of rape, incest, issues with the mother’s health, or just an unwanted pregnancy. Many believe abortion is simply the murder of an innocent life. Over 56 million unborn children have been aborted; that is 1 abortion every 24 seconds. Many people believe that abortion is morally wrong for many reasons. First, life starts at the moment of conception (the mother and father have created a new life).…

    The word “abortion” brings back many conflicting memories, such as the countless hours spent talking to my pro-life friend, or the time when I decided to watch a cartoon about abortion. Knowing that I would dislike this essay, I felt compelled to read it anyways. Two paragraphs in, and I knew that this is going to be the essay I wanted to analyze because abortion is a topic that very easily moved me. Additionally, I enjoyed the style of this essay since it is very descriptive and evaluative. It addresses the controversial problem as to whether abortion is pro-choice or pro-life, but never answers this question.…

    In the United States the constitution gives us certain rights, rights given to a someone by being a person. However, what if because of your age, you were stripped of those rights, stripped of the right to live? What if someone that barely knows you could tear you to shreds. If someone elses mistakes decided the fate of your life, and how would you react if these blinded crimes were all allowed by your government? Personhood, the legal state of being a person, is granted to people the day they are born until the day they die.…
