Abortion is a Woman's Choice Essay

Abortion, in its nature, is considered to be a hugely controversial subject, with pro and anti choice sides levelling various reasons at each other as to why abortion is, or is not, ok.

The phrase 'politics of abortion'…

Pro-choice is when you advocate for legalized abortion. The opposite of that is when you vote for pro-life. Pro-life is when you oppose abortion and euthanasia.(Google) I am in the middle of pro choice and pro life.

In 1973, the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v Wade nullified these laws.

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.
