Choice theory

A Defense of Abortion is an article written by Judith Jarvis Thomson about the reasons why women that are pregnant have the right and should have ability to perform an abortion if they choose to do so. Judith gives reasons and examples to why women have the right to abort the fetus if they want to do so. I completely disagree with his arguments. I firmly believe that a fetus has just as much as a right to life, then the mother that is birthing the child. First off, we must define when exactly a…

Mary Anne Warren presents her argument for abortion, first, by replying to Thomson’s argument with falsehoods she gathered from his premises. The largest opposition Warren had with Thompson, was based upon the statement he made that allowed for abortion to be permissible even if the fetus has a full right to life. Warren argues that there cannot be an argument for abortion if it is believed that a fetus has a full right to life, because an abortion would immediately dismiss this. In Warren’s…

Tisdale believes that abortion is necessary and is pro-choice, but she also discusses the guilt behind the operation. In the text, she writes, “I liked the sudden transient bonds I forge with some clients [...] What I offer [them] is not power, but solidness, offered almost eagerly” (1). Showing that Tisdale…

Theresa was a typical high school girl. She played basketball and ran cross country for track. Academically, she was a good A and B student with a very hard work ethic. Around December of her junior year, Theresa’s wisdom teeth had grown in and needed to be removed. She came back from the dentist and it took her two hours to wake up. When she did, she was in an extreme amount of pain. As her little sister, it was hard to watch her as she wouldn’t stop screaming. Two weeks later,…

Forty-five years ago, the Supreme Court made the decision to give women the right to choose to have an abortion in the landmark case Roe v. Wade. Nevertheless, the topic of abortion is still a sensitive and controversial one. Although many have tried to tackle the issue, there is still much debate over the premises in said arguments. In his essay, “Why Abortion is Immoral”, Don Marquis lays out a unique perspective against abortion. However, his argument is flawed because it does not consider…

Now that you are pregnant it is your responsibility to cherish this life and take care of it. You cannot end this life and say it is justified. Just like pulling the trigger of a gun you are not first-hand killing a person, but you are making the choice that ends in a person's death or harm.If you are okay with abortion you are okay with all murder. Another argument is that even if you don't want this child some other family could adopt this child and make the family complete. This abbey has…
