Dying Fetus

Since the legalization of abortion in 1973, over 56 million unborn children have been killed, more than the entire population of the country of Spain. That’s over the 155 children per hour, about 1 every 24 seconds. ~ . Abortion should be illegal because abortion itself is immoral, abortion procedures are unsafe, and the rates of abortion procedures performed have grown exponentially. The abortion procedure is immoral because a fetus’s life begins at the moment of conception and the procedure…

She then decided to get checked, in which her worse nightmare became her reality. During the time she was in a toxic relationship in which she was not happy in. Her partner had convinced and persuaded her to get rid of the baby through abortion…

as PUBS, percutaneous umbilical cord sampling, can be done during pregnancy to check for bilirubin, antibodies, anemia and if the baby needs a blood transfusion. An ultrasound can detect whether there is a buildup of fluid around the organs of the fetus, causing hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. A needle inserted into the mother’s abdomen during pregnancy, known as amniocentesis, can measure the amount of bilirubin that is in the amniotic fluid. All of these procedures ca be done prior to delivery…

When looking at the case of Alice there are circumstances in which aborting her pregnancy would be morally permissible. To determine when it’s acceptable for abortion, it is wise to look at the circumstances when they are unwanted pregnancies or the pregnancy would be putting the mother at risk of death. Within these scenarios it is also knowledgeable to take into consideration the woman’s’ condition or position. In the cases of unwanted pregnancies, abortion after a rape attack that resulted…

There is a variety of situations and multiple reasoning for which a woman chooses to obtain an abortion. Nineteen thousand- five hundred women seek abortions because of rape or incest (Munson 445), while factors such as risky fetal and/or mother health conditions, financial hardships, and fetal gender selection are causes as well. Despite the reason a woman wishes to terminate her pregnancy, she must arrive at a final decision, as there is no reversing of a termination. Gibson states that women…

high rate of abortions of fetuses with disabilities like Down Syndrome. Mothers who have their child’s DNA tested in pregnancy can know if their child has a chromosomal disorder before he or she is born. Parents can then have the option to abort the fetus after that information is known. There are several groups and laws that have developed to help ensure and protect the lives of these children (like the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990), so there would be no logical reason to abort the…

Abortion Up to a certain point in time until the fetus is able to feel pain, the pregnant mother should be the only one to have a say in what her choice to do with her body is. The arguments I am going to discuss about abortion is why I am strongly sided with the pro-choice side. However, I think after a certain point abortion should be illegal. “Anatomical studies have documented that the body’s pain network—the spino-thalamic pathway—is established by 20 weeks gestation. “At 20 weeks, the…

In this case about abortion, Carl and Olivia Padrone want to have a child and they speak with a genetic counselor about their circumstances. The couple wouldn’t know how to raise a normal child due to the fact they are both dwarfs. They both want to have a dwarf child. Olivia and Carl say they know what’s it’s like to be a dwarf and could help their child grow up into a confident adult. The couple ask the Genetic counselor, Dallas Stratford if he can arrange the genetic test, then help them out…

save her life is seen as murder but he concludes that is false because if not the mother dies. Though I would agree with Thomson’s a person has a choice when it comes to an abortion, his analogy is a stretch. What would happen if the mother was not dying and just proceeded to have an abortion because she wanted to or if having a child actually saved the mother? Thomson gives many arguments that are generalized into something happening to the mother and for that case it does not…
