Abortion debate

Is Abortion Ethical? Since the 1900’s abortion has been one of the topics on the hot seat of debate in our nation. Abortion has been a reoccurring debate where Americans ponder whether or not aborting a fetus is an appropriate moral action.

On the other hand, some people believe a fetus has the right to life, making it immoral to get an abortion. Many…

Abortion is a troubling issue with multiple perceptions and ideas that are due to religious views or personal beliefs which can lead people to develop irrational assumptions. This, in turn, makes it hard for them to understand the opposing views of this issue. In “Who Should You Listen to on Abortion? People Who’ve Had Them,” Renee Bracey Sherman attempts to persuade her readers towards the views of pro-choice by sharing personal experiences, shaming opposing views, and by appealing to emotions.…

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.…

In this paper, I will explain both of their arguments for the moral grounds of abortion and explain how Thomson’s analogy of the “world’s famous violinist” differs from abortion, which weakens it. Rosalind Hursthouse is a Professor of Philosophy at University of Auckland, and in her paper, “Virtue Theory and Abortion”, she uses virtue theory to respond to critics by using it how it may be show in the debate of abortion. (Hursthouse 849) Hursthouse begins her paper with explaining virtue theory,…

fetus is a direct result of the mother. For example, in the people-seed case, it appears that the people-seed is simply using her house for its own development. There seems to be no relation between the people-seed and the house. However, in the abortion debate, the mother is quite literally part of the fetus, specifically genetically half of the fetus. For example, say that an H+ ion and an OH- ion are walking down the street, simultaneously checking each other out. They decide to connect,…

Furthermore, the opinion on abortion usually starts from home. A family that has a rigid opinion on the issue would stand by it and in turn ingrained that idea to their family members from a young age. Likewise, religious advocates are very significant and could convince followers on certain ideas. Religion itself is a means to execute power on the society. On another note, back in Ancient Rome and Greek, abortion is acceptable and only contested if the father felt robbed of his heir (Dionisio…

People from all over debate whether it is the mother’s right to decide what she wants for herself or whether it is a bad decision because the mother is killing a human being who does not have any say in the decision. There are two different methods of abortion, medical and surgical. Medical abortion is done by taking medications to induce labor; surgical abortion is done by either a dilatation and suction curettage procedure or a dilatation and…

Abortion should be pro-choice. We decide what we want for our body. If a woman feels like she can’t support a baby, or if she was raped and doesn’t want to keep the infant she shouldn’t have to.
