Medical abortion

since Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton in 1973 (Ertelt, 2016). With the legalization of abortion, women in the United States now have the right to choose what they do with their bodies, and more specifically, the life that is growing inside of them. Most often, the women that receive an abortion do not see a baby inside them, they see a piece of tissue that feels no pain, is not alive, and should not be protected. Abortion is often used as a form of birth control when proper preparation has not…

power to choose. As human beings, we make mistakes. An abortion is a very big and difficult thing for women and have to really think about it before doing it; it’s not like it’s easy for them. Everybody has a choice and all of these choices have outcomes. There are circumstances where the mother cannot keep the child due to health problems, defects, etc. A woman’s right to choose to have an abortion or not is her right. If society takes abortion away, society is interfering with women’s right to…

Among various religious institutions, the hypocritical statement that abortion is sinful has been the basis for many pro-life arguments. I use the the word ‘hypocritical’ because of the redundancy in logic inspired by figures such as Mother Teresa and The Bible. Mother Teresa had a strong opinion against terminating pregnancies and even using birth control. She once said that “Anything that destroys God’s gift of motherhood destroys his most precious gift to women: the ability to love as a woman…

according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) 699,202 abortions were performed in the United States. The psychological effects of abortions have been widely studied since 1987 when anti-choice president Ronald Reagan directed the then Surgeon General, Everret Koop, to study and report on the mental effects of induced abortion. The report claimed that there was not enough evidence to conclude the psychologic effects on women of induced abortion (Koop,1987). This report is contrary to hundreds…

Abortion prevents the mother’s or father’s life from turning for the worse. Various factors play into this decision which frequently is also benefiting the potential child. Having children costs lots of money and I certainly wouldn’t want to be born into a family that has to worry about paying basic medical expenses, education, mortgage and so on. The battle between pro- life and pro- choice activists rages on since the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Jane Roe in 1973, giving a woman a…

The problem that is being addressed is should abortion be restricted? According to Senator Marco Rubio abortion is detrimental to American society morally, economically, and politically. First, from a moral perspective many religions condemn the practice of abortions because life is given by the Creator and it should be respected. Second, from an economic point of view there are millions of contributions to the world that will never happen because the unborn weren’t given a chance fulfill their…

According to the World Health Organization, “Every year there is an estimated 40-50 million abortions, which is 125,000 abortions per day.” People may say that abortion is okay to do because the babies don’t feel any pain when the procedure is performed, the US Supreme Court says it is a fundamental right, and it empowers women to control over their own bodies. Abortion is not right because of that. The individuals should have thought about the consequences before conceiving and it is now the…

Should women have the right to have an abortion? According to Webster Dictionary, “abortion is a medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus” ( ). When it comes down to the discussion of women and abortion, the topics pro-life or pro-choice come into play. Pro-life is when people do not believe the fetus should be aborted. They protect the right that the fetus is a human whose life should be valued and protected. Pro-choice is the belief that a woman has the…

Over one million women in the modern United States receive an abortion every year. As an escape method for dealing with rape or a way to put a halt on their pregnancy altogether, the process has been a quick fix for women living in America. However, not everybody is in agreement with the idea of abortion, making it a very controversial topic today. Some people think it goes against their religious beliefs, while others believe the procedure is morally wrong no matter what religion they practice.…
