Today’s society has changed in many ways. One way that I am sure that many people have noticed, or have maybe even been effected by has been sexism. Many years ago women were expected to stay at home to take care of the children along with taking care of the house hold entities which included cooking, cleaning, and many more house hold chores. Men where typically expected to be providers in the home in which means to pay the bills, put food on the table, and to protect the family. With that…

opposing views on abortion amongst different Christian groups. Abortion, in its meaning refers to a woman who is pregnant and chooses to end her pregnancy. This action occurs by a doctor who removes a fetus from the woman’s womb before it is viable and able to survive in the outside world. This such procedure can be done during the woman’s first trimester of pregnancy, but can also be performed in the second trimester.

Female infanticide is the deliberate and organized killing of girls at or soon after birth by the men in the society. This issue is more common in countries like India and China, where society values male children over female children because a female is considered a burden and a disgrace, or in the case of India a very expensive investment to the father. As a human being and a woman in this world, I view female infanticide to be outrageous and unrighteous and believe there should be a better…

These couples in most cases have tried for years to have a child. The use of this technology is not always supported, because it does present…

When people decide to have sex they are taking that risk of pregnancy. Whether protection or birth control was used or not pregnancy is still a chance.

effects of it all. Some people wouldn 't even be alive right now, and just over a quick thought. Look at it from the perspective of not even being where you are today. Abortion is the termination of a human being while in the womb within 28 weeks of pregnancy. Now it is available to perform while the child is over 28 weeks. Some try to call having an abortion a miscarriage. This isn 't the case. An abortions and a miscarriage shouldn’t even be in the same category. I feel like this came up to…

Over the years, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has become more common as infertile couples seek solutions to fulfill their desire for biological children. The procedure involves extracting eggs and sperms, which are then fused together in a Petri dish in a laboratory. The fertilized egg or eggs are later implanted in the woman. In addition to the many social implications, the Catholic Church has raised numerous moral issues with the process and has remained steadfast in its opposition to the…

In ‘A Defense of Abortion’, Thomson argues for the fact that there are certain cases where abortion is permissible and certain cases where abortion is impermissible. Thomson starts her argument by explaining that people contemplate their views on abortion by trying to determine a specific time period of when a fetus is considered a human being – some believe this is at contraception and others believe this is at birth. Whatever the case, Thomson uses an analogy of an acorn to demonstrate a…
