Women’s rights have come a long way in the last century and still have a long way to come. Donald Trump is notorious for his incendiary comments and actions toward women, one such example of this occurred in his 1994 interview with ABC News: “I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing. Unfortunately, after they're a star, the fun is over for me. It's like a creation process. It's almost like creating a building. It's pretty sad.” This message along with many others sends a…

The question posed in this week’s assignment is difficult to give one answer to. When one speaks of ethics they are speaking to a person’s morals. With that said everyone has different morals. What one might see as being ethically or morally correct might not hold true or hold the same value to someone else (Greenberg, Bruess, Oswalt, pg. 741). For this assignment, we are asked for our personal opinion on Hobby Lobby and Wheaton College’s decision to not cover any form of birth control in…

Sometimes, when performing the abortion, not only the child is dead, but that that can lead to the mother’s death based on how the abortion was made. Abortion has different effects on each woman. Emotional and psychological effects are the most common, and those effects affect each woman in different way. They can make the woman feel sad, and it can cause depression, anxiety, even suicide.

Many people believe that women should not be respected if they had an abortion because they made that decision, and they see it as a sign of weakness because they can not take care of a baby.

They see it as a really big sin because most of these people don’t understand the pain the women may had to go through in order to make that decision. I’m catholic i have been raised…

Landmark Cases: Roe V. Wade, 1973. A young, unwed woman by the name of Norma McCorvey became pregnant and sought out an abortion in Texas in 1969. Texas law made abortion a felony unless “on the medical advice for the purpose of saving the life of the mother,” or rape and incest cases. McCorvey attempted to obtain an abortion through two measures, claiming she was raped, and illegal clinics. There was no police report to prove she had ever been raped and the illegal clinics were shut down…

Planned Parenthood has been under scrutiny most recently in the past few years for their role in abortions in the United States. Planned Parenthood believes that a woman shouldn’t be judged by the government or anyone for the decisions that they make because a woman’s body is her own and she should have the decision of what she wants to do with it. This was the basis of the Supreme Court case: Roe v. Wade. “Jane Roe” argued the Texas stature that an abortion at any time during the pregnancy was…

The most common, and vocal, rational GOP has for the federal government defunding Planned Parenthood is because they offer abortion services, which goes against their ethical beliefs; but in reality, Planned Parenthood actually prevents more abortions than it carries out. Out of the numerous services that Planned Parenthood offers the public, only three percent of all of their procedures are abortions; meaning that ninety-seven percent of everything they do is basic health care and other medical…

She drove four hours from McAllen to San Antonio, and we had to turn her away.” (Trapped,…
