THE ABORTION BATTLE
Title: Abortion: Killing a Human Being
Topic: The ethics behind the practice of abortion and validating it as a murder
Specific Purpose: To inform students of the scientific procedure of abortion and paralleling it to the killing of a human being, just in vivo (during conception).

INTRODUCTION *ask class question, give disclaimer*
Attention Materials: Mention the story of a Philadelphian doctor who committed wrongful abortions. Segue into the the fetus from conception to its first few moments to the legal moments were abortion can take place (first trimester in states where it is legal). Stress that this is different from a cancer! Briefly state how the abortion process kills the fetus. Explain the physical effects on the parent(s) as well as the emotional effects that abortion is known to cause (provide statistics and remembering comparisons). Acknowledge the pro-choice argument in all facets covered as well as common pro-choice arguments, such as rape. Address the issue and conclude with how action shall be taken and what predicted statistics can occur from this change.
Thesis Statement: Abortion may be a temporary fix to a momentary problem, but permanently kills the life of an in vivo child and leaves scars on the physiological and emotional well-being of the parent.
Preview: This persuasive argument uses the objective facts, the biology of the aborted fetus, as well as post-abortion physiological and emotional trauma. This also debunks common opinions of those whom are pro-choice while acknowledging the integrity but cracks in their argument. Finally, this stresses why action must be taken now, before it is too late

    Jonathan Glover, in his article Matters of Life and Death casts dispersions on both pro-abortion and anti-abortion debates citing them as too knee-jerk emotional reactions diminishing the inherent complexity of the other side (1. Glover, CC2006, p. 0110). Glover comprehensively addresses the key points of both sides of the abortion debate and evaluates their inherent virtues, especially for those who hold these opinions, then methodically points out its flaws. Ultimately, Glover comes to the conclusion that though a fetus is a human at the moment of conception, the right to abort lies with the mother and her own self-determination.…

    B. Thesis: Abortion is a highly controversial topic in America. The act of disregarding a human life and terminating a pregnancy should only be performed on women who have been victims of rape, incest, or failed contraception. Instances where the pregnancy is terminated because the child threatens the health and well being of the female should also be a valid reason for an abortion to be performed. Other than those circumstances listed, the fetus should have the right to develop and have a life of its own.…

    Due to unwanted pregnancies and financial distress, many children are often mistreated and neglected which leads to the idea of abortion as the right decision. Mistreatment and neglect to the child may occur from the mother because the child resembles his or her father, which will be a continuous reminder of what happened (Meehan, Mary 1). It is also not right for a woman to have to go through full-term pregnancy with a child that has been conceived through rape (Maheen, Mary 3). Abortion is necessary for women who have fallen victim to rape or for women who are not financially able to support a family.…

    Personally, I think that any form of abortion is tantamount to murder, and should never be permitted. This article only brings to my attention that women who wish to have abortions are only concerned for themselves, as the argument is based upon the health of the woman. Although the author’s argument may be valid concerning some facets of the issue, I believe the focus of the subject should shift from the mother to the living creature inside and its right to…

    Abortion has been a heavily debated political, ethical, and moral dispute continuing for more than a decade after it was legalized in the United States in January 22, 1973. This decade long debate between “pro-life” activists and “pro-choice” activists usually stem from ones ethical and moral values of whether it is right to surgically or medicinally terminate a fetus and the extremes, like death of the mother, which could occur from the pregnancy. In this debate, I would view myself as a “pro-choice” activist because I firmly believe that abortion should continue to be legal to decrease the number of unintended mothers, broken or single parent families, and family poverty.…
