Pro-choice

Abortion; We Need the Choice The abortion rate in the United States has gone down since 1996 and the United States doesn’t have the highest rate of abortion in the world (Proquest Staff). Women deserve the right to an abortion, and they do have that right. But pro lifers want to take these rights away, and mostly white male politicians are the deciding factor. Most pro lifers see pro choice people as murder lovers, but in actuality, they just want women to be able to make the choice for…

persuade others to become pro-choice or pro-life, and it still is something that supposedly needs debated about in Canada’s House of Parliament. Simply put, the importance of having a choice has affected a majority of women throughout Canada as whether one chose to continue with their pregnancy or not, they still had the choice. When it comes to abortion it should be about understanding the needs of an induvial versus the wants of the opposition party; it is the importance of choice that has…

using pro-life vs. pro-choice rhetoric doesn’t really allow women their inherent rights to their bodies (RWL 53). Contradictions are present when pro-life advocates are in favor of the death penalty and not in favor abortion even when the mother’s life is at risk, implying one life more valuable than the other. Though many feel pro-life advocates are determining whose life is more valuable, it’s important to remember that they believe they are protecting the most innocent form of life. Pro-life…

become a headline topic over different sources of media. There is the pro-choice side where the belief is that the mother has the choice to abort her pregnancy. Then there is the other side, pro-life, meaning the belief is that if the mother is pregnant she cannot terminate the pregnancy. Lastly, there is an undecided person who has not picked a side. I am pro-choice, but I do have “standards” that I have towards my pro-choice belief. I believe that if there is a factor that contributes to the…

Woman should be able to have the choice of having an abortion without ridicule and without reason. Incest is a real thing and is unfortunate but a girl at the age of 12 should not have to go through a pregnancy. There are pro-lifers who say no matter what if a woman is pregnant she should not be allowed to have an abortion. But in other countries people do not have the luxury of openly speaking their mind. It is easy to say abortion is wrong and you are weak if you have an abortion. But on the…

The Historic Struggle of Life and Choice In the pre-1800s, there was no definite rule of the land on the abortion; there was only civil law tradition of punishing abortion if abortion is done after the fetus was viable; the standard of whether the fetus was viable was “quickening”. After the quickening, women abort the fetus were charged less than the murder (Lecture Feb. 2; page 5). In the 1821-1841, the abortion providers were criminalized in the few state level, but still the…

Pro life versus pro choice has been on of the most debated topics around the world by Christians and non Christians alike. People who have a Christian or pro life worldview take a stance against abortion due to their moral and religious judgments that acknowledge the life and importance of the unborn. Unlike those who are pro life, those who support pro choice believe that an unborn fetus is nothing but cells and that if a woman chooses to terminate her pregnancy than it is moral and she should…

Is Abortion Acceptable? In the news, social media, television, and more, the topic of abortion is narrowed into two options: pro-life or pro-choice. There are no simple facts or statistics to discredit one viewpoint and establish a correct choice. Whether or not you support abortion depends on a variety of factors such as gender, religion, political party, experience with the subject, and so on. Personally, despite being a Catholic in which abortion is considered a sin, I have always found…

difficult it is to make that decision. Therefore, the only way you can truly understand is if you step in their shoes, or at least try to. Many Americans have different perspective on abortion, some are pro-choice stating that a woman has the right to do what she feels is necessary and some are pro-life which state that a baby is a human being and should be preserved instead of killed. It has been…

March, 31th as a way to bring light to this topic, the student organization Pointers for Life hosted a debate between members of the pro-life and pro-choice community. Standing on the pro-life side of the argument was Isaac Fleming, a member of the organization Wisconsin Right to Life. On the pro-choice side was Eliza Cussen, a member of NARAL Wisconsin, a pro-choice advocacy group. While attending this debate I choose to pick one speaker’s argument to evaluate from the beginning. Choosing…
