    Abortion is a very heated topic. Throughout the United States, abortion is heavily advocated against due to various moral and ethical reasons. Anti-abortion media portrayal is also not uncommon, nor is it hard to find.

    I recently read a story about a little boy who was born with only part of his brain. When his mother was only 17 weeks pregnant doctors told his mother that he wouldn’t make it, and asked her if she wanted to terminate the pregnancy. She thought that option was absurd and went on with her pregnancy. Doctors told her that she could possibly have a still born and that he wouldn’t make it to his first birthday. Although doctors constantly seemed to tell her that her boy wouldn’t make it, she had…

    Judith Thomson created a very strong, concise argument in defending abortion, in which she believes that it is not morally plausible to deny a mother complete rights and jurisdiction over her own body when impregnated. Ultimately, I believe the person carrying the fetus has the right to decide whether to abort or not, which defends Thomson’s argument. Thomson discusses certain thought-experiments which are hypothetical situations that I believe help prove the point that abortion is necessary in…

    Abortion There is so much controversy of whether or not abortion should be illegal or legal, and the fact of the matter is that people, men and women should have the choice of the decision if whether they want to or don’t it shouldn’t be a complicated topic. The topic of abortions shows a feminist criticism because women should have the choice of what they would like to do with their bodies without having someone else tell them what they can and cannot do. Although some people may be against…

    In the essay “Why Abortion is Immoral,” philosopher Don Marquis uses utilitarian principles to argue that “abortion is, except in rare cases, seriously immoral…[and] in the same category as killing an innocent human being” (223). However, he deliberately avoids relating his thesis to abortion in the specific contexts of rape, maternal death, and severe postpartum health complications. Thus, in my analysis of his claim, I plan on adopting Marquis’ utilitarian perspective to evaluate the…

    Abortion is wrong. Abortion is the murder of innocent children. Life commences at conception, and just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. Unborn babies are human just like you and me and deserve the right to live. They are not less than us, so why shouldn't they get a chance? How come a mother can kill her child at one month old but not at fourteen years old? Overall, abortion is selfish because your not thinking about this other human being, your only thinking about yourself,…

    Abortion is Wrong Abortion should not be an option for a mother carrying a child! The mom and dad had an option before the baby had ever come along. So, if they do not want the baby/child they can suck it up for nine months and give it up for adoption when the baby comes. Abortion is a terrible thing for anyone to think or for anyone to do. Why would you want to kill an innocent baby that has done nothing to anyone? You can say that it has messed up your life but you chose to do it so you…
