Abortion debate

I agree with Thomson’s example of a woman wanting to get an abortion to avoid a nuisance being “indecent”, but that is not up to me to decide. Being pro-choice means to be for any decision that someone wants to make regarding their pregnancy, and not for a decision as long as it doesn’t go against what I believe is right. Although in this case, I may not agree that that’s a viable reason to want to get an abortion, because it is not my business or my body, it is not my decision to make. I also…

Murderer. Killer. Butcher. These words get tossed to those who are towards the movement of pro-choice and not “pro-life”. Abortion is a topic that has been discussed time and time again, but rightfully so. Presidential candidates are often asked about their stance on the abortion issue and it is a topic that can greatly affect their votes. It is hard to admit that one considers themselves to be part of the pro-choice movement when such negative words are often used to describe them. Not even…

Abortion, one of the most controversial and most heated subjects in America with the opinions on both side of the fences and a wide range of ideas and thoughts on what is right or wrong. Personally I believe that abortion is wrong, not for religious reasons, not for social or political reasons. I solely based my reasoning on the thought of if it were me would I want to have an abortion for my significant other. A lot people might view abortion as a form of murder, some people view it as taking…

discuss Callahan’s feminist argument about abortion. She begins the article stating how the feminist movement over abortion has thus far been a conversation that is primarily in the “liberal political circle”(Callahan, p. 167). She also recognizes the good intentions to of the pro-choice counterparts to the pro-life feminists but states that they are morally flawed. The moral right to control one’s body is a common theme that those who are against abortion hold, and Callahan is no different. She…

politics, but an issue of morality. When the subject comes to abortion, the immediate response is to change the subject, or to say that you don’t really have an opinion on the issue. What if I told you that between 50 million and 60 million abortions have been performed since 1973, these are millions of babies being killed inside the womb. What if I told you a baby’s heart starts beating after about 6 weeks from conception? I believe that abortion is a sick procedure and should be abolished…

rivalry between pro-choice and anti-choice when it comes to abortion has been one of the biggest controversial issues today. From a pro-choice perspective, abortion is immoral; and it even goes farther to saying that it is a murder. Well, if you have had enough of the pro-life criticism and bullying, I am here to let you that abortion should definitely be legalized. Just before I get into the arguments, let me pull up the definition of abortion which is defined as “the termination of pregnancy…

Abortion is a very serious and heated issue within our society. Although 50 years ago, it was not an issue that was looked at with near the passivity and normality as it receives now. Our country has legalized and made acceptable to some the murder of more than 63 million babies. Yes, there is a serious problem. Even though some view this problem as a not so significant issue, they would most likely view the 6 million deaths of the holocaust as extremely tragic and horrifying. So, with, how…

As our readings point out, even using pro-life vs. pro-choice rhetoric doesn’t really allow women their inherent rights to their bodies (RWL 53). Contradictions are present when pro-life advocates are in favor of the death penalty and not in favor abortion even when the mother’s life is at risk, implying one life more valuable than the other. Though many feel pro-life advocates are determining whose life is more valuable, it’s important to remember that they believe they are protecting the most…

topic of abortion. Despite being legalized in 1973, abortion has remained a polarizing issue to society ("Introduction to Abortion..." 1 of 4). While half of society supports the belief that abortion should be illegal, the other half follow the opposing notion that abortion should remain legal. Through millions of pregnancies that occur every year, one can infer that not all are intentional. In fact, approximately 86 million women had unintended pregnancies in 2008 ("Safe and Legal Abortion..."…

Abortion Pro-choice v's Pro-life has been an argument fought about for a long time. This argument is fully based on morals, and or what one person believes he or she should have the ability to make decisions about. Abortion has been legalized in all 50 states of America. Although it has been legalized, each state has the power to deny abortions (unless the health of the mother is at risk) through a law called the trigger law. Each state has different regulations on abortion. Virginias laws…
