Roe v. Wade

In his persuasive essay “Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation”, former president Ronald Reagan advocates for the overturning of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court ruling that occurred a decade prior to the essay’s publication in the spring of 1983. This controversial case, whose ruling continues to be a hot topic in current political and ethical debates, permitted abortion on a federal level through all nine months of pregnancy. Nearly halfway through his first term of presidency in 1983,…

As a young woman stepping out into the world, I’m being brought to terms with the word “Abortion”. Seeking knowledge of the term, brought disbelief to my heart. As someone who believes everyone should have all equal rights, it’s not okay to get rid of one that has yet experienced life. Abortion dates back as far as 1973 but has been going on for many years. It I said to have been legal from the time the earliest settlers arrived. Around the 1800s states began passing laws that made abortion…

Abortion is one of the most explosive issues of the last two decades, lighting a fire in debates in political, social, medical, and theological fields. Here in the United States, pro-lifers march for the rights of the unborn. The pro-choice stands on the grounds of freedom and a woman’s rights to decide. The questions that are asked by some people myself included is: Is it a woman’s primary right to decide? Is an abortion justified under any circumstances? When does life begin? The…

A lot people might view abortion as a form of murder, some people view it as taking…

Abortion is a huge controversial issue in the United States because while some people are totally against it, others believe that a woman should have the right to choose what she wants to do. In my opinion, when a woman chooses to have sex with a man, she is taking the risks that may come with it. She does this of her own choice, and if she gets pregnant she should be taking responsibility. Woman are in control of what they are doing. If a person decides to have sex with someone, whether it is…

First, I would like to discuss Callahan’s feminist argument about abortion. She begins the article stating how the feminist movement over abortion has thus far been a conversation that is primarily in the “liberal political circle”(Callahan, p. 167). She also recognizes the good intentions to of the pro-choice counterparts to the pro-life feminists but states that they are morally flawed. The moral right to control one’s body is a common theme that those who are against abortion hold, and…
