The End Of Life Abortion Act Pros And Cons

Improved Essays
The End of Life Option Act is indeed a topic of great controversy for many professions and people in general throughout our society and others across the world. Physician-assisted suicide laws are especially controversial for people who are highly religious, as you mentioned. Research suggests that liberal Protestants, Jews, and those with no religious affiliations are typically supportive of physician-assisted suicide, while conservative Protestants and Catholics tend to be greatly opposed (as cited in Burdette, Hill, & Moulton, 2005). Along the same lines, I also found it interesting that conservative Protestant and Catholics are generally resistant toward the termination of treatment in the event of an incurable disease (as cited in Burdette,

    Federal Government Should Outlaw Late-Term Abortion In 2013, reporter Sarah Terzo from Live Action News in Virginia indicated that late-term abortion clinic shoots babies through the heart with poison in order to kill them.

No matter what situation the mother and fetus are in, every fetus should have the right to live a meaningful life.

    When considering the benefits of the historical Roe v Wade Supreme Court case, one of the most obvious benefits is one of the most important: women’s health. Women’s reproductive health has been greatly improved through the legalization of abortion made possible because of Roe v Wade. It is important to understand that even before Roe legalized abortion, “many unqualified people set themselves up as abortion providers, using unsafe methods and unsanitary facilities, based solely on their desire to profit from the outlawed procedure” (Anderson). Because abortion was illegal prior to Roe, many women were being harmed for exercising control over their bodies due to their only option being uncertified, often unsafe procedures. However, now that…

    Any woman that has ever had a late-term abortion knowingly and willingly committed fetal homicide. According to Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB/GYN and a pain medicine physician, "1,186 late-term abortions were conducted in 2012" (Gunter). That equals 1,186 lives that were ripped from this world... futures stripped from human beings. Although a fetus may not be a life since it relies on a host to survive, late-term abortion should be made illegal because the fetus can feel the pain of the D&X procedure, the D&X procedure is harmful to the mother, and women are using abortion as a form of birth control rather than a form of termination in a time of crisis.…

    It is true that some members of the public view euthanasia as unfair, cruel and insensitive. They make a clear proposition that human life is good, that it is worth living, that it deserves respect and protection, that every human being has an equal worth and dignity, which every human being has a right to live. And for those cruel hearts, sanctimonious and supercilious with their religious dogma claiming the moral high ground supporting a total lack of dignity and a blatant disregard of a person's pain, one should ask them to put themselves in the dying man's shoes. First, I do not believe that religion should play a huge role in the decision to legalize assisted suicide. In America, we have the right to freedom of religion, so that same freedom…

    The definition of an abortion is the process of ending a woman’s pregnancy by the termination of an embryo or fetus inside the mother’s womb (Pros and Cons Abortion). During the process of an abortion, the unborn child is not treated as a human being. The baby is treated as a nuisance; it is not given the proper care, it is regarded as a nonliving thing (Abortion Facts). Abortion is not the only method to take when a mother is confused by her feelings about the pregnancy for how her pregnancy came about (Arguments about Abortion).
