Fetus

Judith Jarvis Thomson describes a fetus as being as much of a moral person as anyone, but he or she is not in fact entitled to using the mother’s precious resources. The idea of bodily autonomy is heavily stressed in her paper, “A Defense of Abortion”. Most of those who are against abortion tend to use the point that a fetus is a person as their major leg to stand on. Thomson argues that they fail to discuss what is impermissible about abortion. She provides strong reasoning for why abortion…

breathing is considered a human. (Appendix A: Universal Declaration of Human Rights). The phrase “right to life” shows that the unborn fetuses have rights just like their mothers, but some people don’t think of that. Nobody can see the fetus, so they believe that the fetus isn’t considered a human yet. Dr. Stephan Schwarz, a Rhode Island University philosophy teacher, states, “Abortion is a civil rights issue just like racial justice for blacks, or equal treatment for the handicapped and all…

should be analyzed in this new act is the increased in the statutory waiting period from 24 hours to 72 hours. Not much information is mention as to what benefits this serves in protecting the state interest of women’s health and the viability of a fetus. The decision in Casey did not establish a definition in what is considered a reasonable time for the statutory waiting period. As the fact pattern states, Casey allowed states to enact a time period in which they felt that a…

Catholics view abortion as a serious moral issue. This paper will argue that everyone has the right to life. The fetus from the moment of conception is an Individual; it is also the most innocent and vulnerable of persons and the most worthy of protection. The Catholic moral theory designates that intentionally killing an innocent baby as an “Intrinsic evil”. Abortion will never be the solution. The catechism claims that a “child is a gift of God, the supreme gift of marriage. There is no such…

human life does not begin until we are able to adapt, reproduce, etc. Personhood begins only after a fetus is able to survive…

people are aware of. In fact, “47,000 women die a year as a result of complications of unsafe abortions”(“Preventing Unsafe Abortion”).When most people think of abortion some may feel like it is harmless, but as we already know it is lethal to the fetus, but most people don't consider the fact that it can also be lethal for the mother as well. As a result more and more people are becoming more informed. “In the United States, only 10 states have made abortion illegal. Those states are; Idaho,…

Mother of a dead child “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish,” once said Mother Teresa. Pondering this quote, it was captivating in the way that Mother Teresa made a strong statement, with such simplicity. In general, abortion is where you terminate a baby before pregnancy can occur. People should not be able to abort their child. To see this thoroughly, we have to explore the reasoning of how this conclusion came to be. Women are trying to perform…

Abortion A very controversial topic in the world right now is whether or not abortion should be legal. Now the argument here is if you are “pro-life” or “pro-choice”. People who are pro-life believe that women should not be able to abort a human life because it is considered “murder”. On the other side of that, people who are pro-choice believe that women should have the right to choose whether or not to carry the baby or to abort it. Before I actually started researching this topic I believed…

In conclusion, although the recent footage contained disturbing images of the unethical practices of selling and buying of aborted fetus tissue, defunding the Planned Parenthood program would only benefit those in power passing the bill. If such an action took place, where the aborted fetus tissue was sold, who is to say that the patient did not consent to the donating of the tissue, before the procedure? What if she did? Is the government really for the people as it states in the Preamble…
