Pro and Cons of Abortion
Marinelly Gonzalez Dr. Edwards Com 123 Cons of Abortion wrong and looked down upon by a lot of religions. Some women use abortion as a type of birth control. They sleep with men and do not use protection and think nothing of it to go to the clinic as many as five times in their life to have an abortion. A con against abortion is the nagging thought that a woman went to a clinic, had an abortion, and thus the world was prevented from seeing the birth of the only person capable of attaining a leadership role and initiating a peace accord between warring factions in the Middle East, thus preventing decades of strife and murder. A stable home life is not a guarantee of talent, and illegitimate children have shown themselves to be very bright on occasion. Another con, is that the child who never lived, may have invented a cure for cancer (had he lived). Think about that, if you’re for abortion, the next time you walk into a hospital to have a mysterious growth on your breast checked out. Having an abortion always lessens your chances for having children later in life. Even though it doesn't happen to many women, you could be the one to miss out on your once in a life time chance to have your baby. There are other options. You can give your baby up for adoption and give your child a chance at life. If looked at at the religious aspect, God gave you the opportunity to have a baby for a reason, you should not throw that chance away. If you laid down in the bed and weren't responsible, you should take responsibility for your actions and take care of the child you created. Abortion is the lazy way out. If you have an abortion you will always wonder what if, and feel guilty for the rest of your life about the child you could have had. Pros of Abortion Laws against abortion kill women. Even though abortion may be illegal doesn't mean that women won't go through with the abortion. Look at the case of Becky Bell for example. She was an innocent girl

    In this world there are at least two sides to every story. The opposite sides are not necessarily good or bad, but different from each other. One of these "stories" is the story of abortion. Abortion is defined as the destruction or termination of a fetus while still in the mother's womb. However, abortion is so much more then just the definition. There are consequences. There are two sides: pro-life and pro-choice. There is controversy over which is the correct way to go. Personally knowing people who have chosen opposite sides on this one particular topic makes it one that truly means a lot to me as a writer.…

    “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable right Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” (The Declaration of Independence). But unfortunately, the most vulnerable of our society does not have a say in whether or not those rights are exercised. The population I am referred to is the unborn population. The desire for woman right to choose, effectively place the unborn child at a legal disadvantage. Roe vs. Wade gave a voice to women but one wonders what the true language of the U.S Declaration of Independence? Was the right to life just a phrase, or an actual given right to be observed and protected by the courts? If that is the case and we do intend to apply rights to all citizens, then it can be suggested that Roe vs. Wade is in direct contradiction of that…

Abortion is usually done by a doctor and other health care professionals in the hospital, doctor’s office or health center. As mentioned before, there are two types of abortion. A medical abortion is an abortion caused by medicine and it could only be done in the first nine weeks of pregnancy. The most common type of medical abortion uses a medicine called mifepristone in the process of abortion. The function of this pill is to block progesterone which is a hormone needed for pregnancy. It causes the lining of the womb to become thin. However, a woman may try a surgery abortion when medical abortion does not work. A doctor removes the lining of the womb in a surgical abortion. The abortion debate has been on going over the last three decades. People argue about the conflict of the rights for the human rights and the reproductive rights of women or the human right advocates. As a human, we have to stand on the pro-life position which we have to respect the unborn child or we should stand on the pro-choice or pro-abortion position which we have to respect the parents’ decisions whether they want to give birth to the unborn child due to some valid reasons?…

    Induced abortion is just one of the multitudes of bioethical dilemmas that a physician is charged with confronting. The act of inducing abortion is a controversial subject that involves many potentially competing factors such as an individual’s moral and religious compass, what rights an unborn fetus has and the rights that a woman has over her own body. In the case of a 16 year-old girl who is pregnant as a result of incest and seeking an abortion, my role as the practitioner would be to put the health of the patient first - above all personal bias.…

    Secondly, according to Daniel R. Mishell, Jr., MD – Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Southern California –, women were employing “coat hangers or knitting needles or radiator flush to induce abortions”, before professionally-performed abortions were legalized in 1976 (Morrison, par. 7). Indeed, while 39 maternal deaths from illegal abortions were reported in the United States through 1972, abortion-related deaths declined to two by 1976. However, according to The World Health Organization, unsafe “abortions induce nearly 68,000 women deaths worldwide each year”, mainly in emergent countries, since professional services are practically inaccessible and abortions are socially not accepted due to misconceptions…

    If we took a moment of silence for each baby lost to abortion, we would be silent for over 100 years” (Frank Pavone). Many people who are pro-abortion continuously argue that abortion is not murder. However, if abortion is not murder, then why is it considered double homicide when a pregnant woman is killed? Unfortunately, over one million abortions are performed each year, which is a fifth of all pregnancies in the United States. Abortion should be illegal because not only does it hurt and kill the innocent baby, but it can also physically and emotionally hurt the mother as well.…

    The right to obtain abortions has been a debated topic since the 1800s. It has been the subject of intense Supreme Court litigation and is publically debated during presidential elections. Abortion is defined as ending a pregnancy by removing a fetus from the uterus (“Abortion”). Abortion is also controversial because those who take a stance may have cultural and religious influences. There are many activist groups that argue pro-choice or pro-life. Pro-Life followers argue abortions should be prohibited or have major restrictions if allowed. On the other hand, pro-choice believers argue that women have reproductive rights and it is their free choice on whether they wish to remain pregnant or terminate it (“Abortion, Debate”). There are numerous reasons as to why a woman may choose to end a pregnancy. Women may wish to obtain an abortion because of an unintended pregnancy, young age, social pressure, inability to care for a child, preventing birth defects, protecting the health of the mother, or even to prevent an unwanted pregnancy resulting from a rape. Whatever reason a woman may choose to terminate a pregnancy, they have the fundamental right to do so because a woman’s privacy is protected due to the US Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade…
