Abortion Indeed, we needn't be bioethicists to debate about abortion. I guess that everyone has at least had a discussion about the ethicity and morality of abortion. In first place, abortion is the ending of pregnancy, it can be natural or unnatural, in which the fetus is expelled from its mother’s womb in a time in which it cannot survive out of its mother. In addition, a natural abortion (also called miscarriage) is the unintentional expulsion of the fetus before the 24th pregnancy week.…

fundamentalist Ken Ham debate took place in Petersburg, Kentucky at the Creation Museum. CNN’s Tom Foreman takes a stand at the podium before introducing the two debaters to the audience in the crowd, as well as to the viewers who are watching it at home. During the debate, many subtopics are brought up, branching from the main question, “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era?” The topic of creationism and evolutionism appears to be an ongoing debate among…

An Ethical Question of Abortion It’s very likely, in one’s lifetime, a person will question their own existence, what it means to be alive, and what consciousness might be. These are among the struggles of the human mind to understand itself. We find ourselves in a varying world of class, opinions, battlefields, and differences. This diversity requires us to make decisions in society that are based on the most fundamental modes of knowledge and just decision-making. Among these…

Supreme Court decision of Roe V. Wade in 1973, the arguments for abortion has reached a fever pitch, both socially and within the political sphere. The highly contentious argument surrounding the pro-life and pro-choice positions of the abortion debate begins with the diametrically opposing viewpoints of when human life actually begins. Furthermore, there are other issues involving women’s rights that can also be challenged within the scope of abortion. So when does life truly begin for a…

The other day I got into an argument with a young gentleman on twitter about abortion. He tweeted “I can’t understand how anyone can be pro-abortion”. This tweet genuinely confused me because I was not sure that ‘pro-abortion’ is even a real term, so I replied to it, saying ‘Pro- choice not pro-abortion’ which he replied with ‘pro-choice is the same as pro-abortion’. I got angry with this because I cannot believe that some people truly believe that being pro-choice is translated into being…

On October 19, 2016 was the last debate against the presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton (Democrat) and Donald Trump (Republican). Now, in my opinion this election happens to be to the worst one in history. But, as a voter when deciding who to vote on, one candidate has to stand out the most. During all three of the debates against the candidates, we see to much of name-calling, scandals and a lot of nothing. What candidate can actually do good for our people? That is a question widely asked…

Debate Write-Up: Immigration Policy Never before had I been involved in politics until this year, and with a controversial presidential election nipping at America’s heels, now was a trivial time to finally become involved. At the first mention of an in-class debate at the beginning of the semester, my palms instantly grew clammy. The only image I could attributed to the debate process was the comical GOP debates that frequently appeared on television, and there was one thing I knew for sure -…

opinions include that it’s considered murder because it has a heartbeat. Another opinion is that if you get raped that abortion is kind of the only route to go but if your being careless that its your fault and should suffer the consequences. In this debate I am going to explain why abortion should be pro-life instead of Pro-choice. Planned Parenthood performs over 900 abortions a day. 900. That’s over 300,000 a year and that is only Planned Parenthood. This is over a quarter of a million…

The pro-choice conviction relies on the belief that abortion should be legalized, and that women have the right to control their own bodies. Pro-choice arguments include the fact that legalized abortions are a safe procedure, it allows the woman to have control over her own body, it is not a mean to replace contraceptive methods and it should not be considered murder. One of the pro-choice arguments in order to legalize abortion is based on the concept that women seeking an abortion can seek…
