While watching Senator Lindsey Graham question Judge Sotomayor, I felt as though even though he said that he liked her as a person some of the questions and statements he said to her was pretty harsh. The first thing that I thought he said that was inappropriate was when he asked her about the Constitution and the 1st trimester abortion, I thought that was out of line because everyone have their own opinion about abortion depending on what they believe in, and they shouldn’t be judge for that.…
Do you think abortion should be legal or illegal? Many people say it should be legal. According to research there are various reasons abortion should be illegal. One reason abortion should be illegal is because the child doesn't have a say in the decision. I found this reason on allwomentalk.com. One of the quotes were “Children can’t and don't ask to be born, this is purely an option only adults have.” In other words, they can't and don’t ask you to abort them. It is strictly a decision that…
The history surrounding birth control is fascinating because it has two different areas of growth, social acceptance and technological advances. The idea of birth control can be seen in primitive times, such as East African tribes who would most commonly use coitus interruptus or magical methods by which a cord was tied and worn to keep a woman infertile.

One major concern regarding the right to privacy is the issue of consensual adult women having the ability to freely use contraceptives without government intrusion. The use to freely use contraceptives was a major issue from 1873 when the Comstock…
Lippman’s theory is critiqued by Dorothy Wertz and John Fletcher in “A Critique of Some Feminist Challenges to Prenatal Diagnosis” as they believe that Lippman presents a very feminist perspective and lacks the consideration of others in the decisions involving prenatal testing. Wertz and Fletcher question the idea that abortion after prenatal diagnosis is “ethically more problematic than abortion of a healthy fetus for even the most “frivolous” reason” (Wertz and Fletcher 412). Lippman shows a…

unborn. No more excuses about "not having the right." Even if one does believe abortion is murder, he/she isn't really prolife unless he/she does something about it. Otherwise, he/she is just standing idly by while evil happens. One might as well be pro-abortion, since, by one's silence, he/she is giving tacit…
