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…

One of the biggest problems I have with pro-life people are that they are not medically trained or lack advanced anatomy/physiology beyond basic high school biology. Because of this, they are spreading “facts” that may not actually be accurately supported by science. It’s like the blind leading the blind. Even though I am a kinesiology major myself, I learned and I am still learning about the human body although I thought that I knew it all. Since I am pro-choice, I think that abortion clinics…

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. The most dangerous one is the physical effect, and this effect can lead to serious infections. For instance…

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. Also, many people see it as a murder this came from what a lot of religious and church goers have been telling the public. 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…

On the other hand liberals believe that the fetus not yet a human until a certain point in the pregnancy. And…

This is effects mainly the women of society because the majority of these prescriptions are mostly birth control pills and emergency contraception.

legal women have the right to choose. The majority of the people in favor of pro-life are Christians, who also believe that killing any human being is wrong. But that brings up the important question. What exactly is considered to be living and not living? According to Trisha Johnson, when people were polled on whether they were pro-life and pro-choice, about 50 percent of the people were pro-life and 45 percent were pro-choice. This meant that still even today people were against abortion…
