Abortion is a widely controversial topic, it is the act of ending a pregnancy. There is a constant debate on wether abortion is right or wrong. Many people believe that a fetus is just as much a human being as any of us and there for, abortion is murder. Others believe that a women should not be forced to have a child she does not want, so my question is, should having an abortion be made illegal? The first stage of pregnancy is fertilisation, when the sperm and egg meet. After about six days…
In 1973, the Supreme Court resolved the unconstitutional law that prohibited a woman to have an abortion for non-emergency reasons. Since then, the controversial case known as Roe V. Wade has divided the people, labeling themselves as either pro-life or pro-choice (McBride). Abortion is not a topic that should be treated lightly, but it is also not a topic that should be ignored all together. In fact, for some, it may be their only option. Abortion should be legal no matter the case because it…
Abortion There are many issues in American today. From drugs, to violence, to many pregnancies. Which leads to abortion.

In 2012, 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…

The perspective of the word “freedom” remains to be the biggest controversy in America. Citizens tend to argue their rights, as citizens of the Unites States. Some of the biggest controversies include our freedom of speech, religion, and our right to bear arms. These all have one detail in common; they are supposedly protected by our Constitution. However, one controversy still stands without the help of our amendments. This is the removal of a fetus. Socially and economically, abortion is being…
Another topic that has been used against pro-choice supporters and abortionists is the topic of abortion being “immoral”. Pro-life supporters talk about the immorality of abortion by saying that it is the murder of babies. On the contrary, abortion is not even remotely close to murder. Murder, by definition, is the act of one human taking away the life of another human. The pregnancy is not a human yet and therefore, cannot be referred to as a human (even abortion doctors refer to the embryo as…

The controversial abortion case, Roe vs Wade, has recently celebrated its 42nd birthday but despite its age, the case is far from out-of-date and irrelevant. Abortion is still a hot-button topic; maybe even more than it was in 1973. People opposed to abortion make outrageous arguments against the medical procedure; arguments that liken the practical, safe, and often necessary operation to genocide. But these people and the government seem to have conveniently forgotten - or ignored – that other…
