    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. This example is a good reason to why the federal government should be outlawing late-term abortion. No matter what situation the mother and fetus are in, every fetus should have the right to live a meaningful life. However, the federal government should outlaw abortion after the first trimester because many of the practices are inhumane, all fetuses should have the right to live, and the ways abortion can cause risks for the women.

    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.…

    Despite the significant factors mentioned above, opponents of the abortion procedure believe otherwise. They argue for keeping abortion in California in order for women to have a say about what they can do with their bodies and it would only do more good than harm. To validate their point, opponents argue that women have the right to choose whether they want to seek an abortion or not. By having that choice, abortion empowers women because it gives them control over their own bodies. Women’s rights shouldn’t be taken away and as the saying goes that it’s her body, it’s her choice, it goes to what’s right for the mother and not to “restrict a woman's decision-making ability and allow politicians to make decisions for her,” says the ACLU's Leveille.…

    A theory about religion is that life starts at conception. People with other beliefs should not be forced to abide by this certain theory. Legal abortion today states that human life starts at birth, but when a baby is born, it grows and develops into a teenager, then a mature adult, until it finally becomes old and dies. Humans are made to develop and change, so a human becomes a human during conception.…

    Abortion has been a great topic of debate for many years, both in terms of law/rights and in morality/religion. The constant debate has split people into two sides: Pro-Choice and Pro-Life. Those who are Pro-Choice believe that women have a right to decide the fate of their body, health, and life. They personally may not get an abortion, but they feel that it is still the right of the mother to choose. Abortion prevents unsafe pregnancies, protects women 's right to choose, liberates women from patriarchal control over women 's sexual and reproductive lives, and allows the mother to choose whether, when, and how often to have a child.…

Pro-life legislation is important but has many drawbacks, due to some of it being directly influenced by the pro-life movement.…

    While the idea that a fetus is a person or, at least, warrants moral consideration is held by plenty-- this view is largely tied to our inherent emotional feelings about human babies, and has little to no logical standing. Those who ascribe to the belief that a fetus has full moral status by virtue of the fact that it will be a human or that it contains human DNA are negligent of the very characteristics that establish humans as moral patients to begin with. Our self-awareness, self-conscious emotion, and ability to perform higher-order cognitive function and to rise above instinct to a certain degree are what define our personhood. They are all self-evident, undeniable sufficient conditions for having moral status. A fetus does not possess…

    A con for abortion would be that it is killing an innocent life. If you have an abortion you are agreeing to kill the fetus inside of you. I believe that life starts at conception and that if you have an abortion any time after that you would be committing a murder.

    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). There is no reason to punish a child when they have no control of what is going on in the world around them.…
