Anti-abortion violence

Yehuda Berg, states that words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity (Berg). Unfortunately, over half a million people will never know the feeling of having such power. In 2012, there were 669,202 abortions in the United States. This is an injustice; abortion should be treated like murder, and should be illegal because it negatively affects society and excuse murder. Within a single moment, a gender is determined, a blood type is assigned, and physical characteristics are…

Women in America were granted the right to an abortion in 1973 with the court case Roe v. Wade. Since then, little progress has been made with regard to making abortion more accessible and affordable to underprivileged women. Many States have imposed legislation that makes its next to impossible for a woman to receive an abortion. Some restrictions set forth by States include: pricey ultrasounds, excessive visits to the physician, waiting periods, and trimester limitations (Hogue, 2016). Due…

to be careful, however, it is expensive and difficult for many women without health insurance to obtain. By making birth control free and easily accessible to young women, America is likely to see a drastic decrease in unplanned pregnancies and abortions, especially in high schools and low-income areas. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Affordable Care Act (ACA), part of this law being that Medicaid is required to cover one type of birth control per person, completely free…

relies on a woman’s body for its life, and it has no right to that. A law coercing women into sharing their bodies is an unjust coercion and is very different to a law coercing women into letting people have air or letting people not be stabbed. Anti-abortion laws are more like the hospital director coercing the kidnap victim into staying hooked up to save a life than they are like the hospital director asking her not to walk into the next room and unplug a baby from its respirator. The baby…

Misinformation on Abortion “Ripping a baby out at 9 months is horrible, and Hillary wants that to be legal!” is a comment made by the Presidential elect Donald Trump during the last presidential debate that has the taken the internet by storm. Trump made this comment on live television with millions of viewers, giving him the platform to misinform a massive audience on late-term abortions. Using rhetoric about this medical procedure is what perpetuates stereotypes. Unraveling these hyperboles…

Introduction In Canada, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is considered to be one of the fundamentals of this nation. In the text below, I will argue that the Charter has indeed strengthened democracy in this nation by illustrating five points. I fully agree with Larry Diamond, a political scientist, on his point of view of democratic system. He believes that it should include active participation of all citizens by making a law that protects and applies to the population equally. What is…

There is often a large dispute over abortion and when personhood begins. Some believe it is at fertilization, some think that it is a vague concept, and some believe that it is when the child is born. The common argument against abortion is the claim that the fetus is a person and therefore has a right to life. A philosopher, Judith Jarvis Thomson, believes that even if personhood begins at the stage of being a fetus, there are still times when it is moral to abort the fetus. She believes that…

that she can turn to. Abortion. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy and often it happens within the first trimester of the pregnancy. In the famous Roe v Wade court case the Supreme Court made abortion legal in all 50 states once they realized that a woman has a right to privacy. Even though abortion is legal in all 50 states there are other states that have certain restrictions on women having abortions. With such restrictions on women getting abortions it can only hinder…

The level of childlessness has doubled in thirty years and the world could be in danger of under population. Some women are childfree by choice, meaning they choose not to have children for a number of different reasons. Many celebrities are childfree, even Dr. Seuss did not have children, which is ironic due to the great deal of children’s books he has written. While reading the selection Childfree by Choice by Kelly J. Welch, I developed the belief that all women should have the option of…

Mistakes in life (A Discussion on three messages from The Great Gatsby, by Francis Scott Key) So many times in life we have regrets. Things that we wish we could undo, or something that we could go back and do. "Some women will regret having had an abortion, just as some will regret having a baby, getting married, dropping out of school, or a thousand other life choices that people make.” (Talbot). Each human being makes thousands upon thousands of decisions a day, whether it’s which way to…
