Abortion debate

Hugh V. McLachlan tackles this question in his piece “Bodies, Rights, and Abortion” where he contends the idea of not owning one’s body simply because others say that you cannot. McLachlan mentions : “that talk of ownership of one’s person rather than of one’s body is absurd. A person cannot be distinguished here from what the person is being said to own,” hence displaying how unethical and enological it is for women in America to be expected to adhere to the laws that are not made to benefit…

Pro-choice, pro-life, but back before this there wasn't a choice for abortion at, unless the mother was endangered by the pregnancy. The laws were strict, especially in Texas where our famous “Jane Roe” (which is not her real name), a single woman with a fetus inside her, not an actual child or human, because a fetus cannot live on it's on. The debate is that life begins at the moment of conception, at least in Texas and most places at this time, but scientifically it takes until the end of the…

The debate over abortion rages on as one of the most controversial issues present today; individuals choose sides, labeling themselves as pro-choice or pro-life. Activists fight for what they believe on both sides, some fighting for more protection of women’s reproductive rights on the pro-choice side, others fighting for the limitation of the right to abortion on the pro-life side. Advocates and subsequently movements on both sides have fought each other since the first legislation on abortion…

stance on abortion. Abortion, which is the killing of innocent unborn souls is ruthless. Would you be willing to murder a innocent child? What's your stance, pro-life or pro-choice? While most people believe abortion should be legal, others disagree. After the Roe vs Wade case, the Supreme Court simultaneously decided that women have the right of privacy under the 14th amendment; making it acceptable to abort a pregnancy within the first trimester (Vaughn 119). The main argument on abortion…

Don Marquis’ argument is for the impermissibility of abortion as it is based on the idea that abortion is held to the same regard as “killing an adult human being” due to the fetus having a “future like ours”.

He asserts the idea that the “loss of one’s life”…

Well a compromise must be made, one that both sides can agree on and walk…

One of the most controversial topic in our current society is the discussion about abortion. The question, if women should have the right to terminate a pregnancy, sparks a variety of reactions regardless of gender. A pregnancy has a monumental influence not only on the female body but on a women’s life in general. The future of this female might be at stake, and not every pregnancy occurs by choice. It seems cruel to take away a woman’s power over her own body in order to guarantee the same…
