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.…
The pro-life view is characterized by “all men are created equal.” My personal view is that equal rights should be available to everyone regardless of sex, race, preference, age, etc. Throughout history there have been many conflicts of significance to women and blacks concerning the fight for equal rights; pro-life supporters say “why not babies too?” They also believe “there are no sub-humans.” Personally, I agree that there are no sub-humans. There are humans and not humans. I do not believe fetuses in a vegetative state, similar to a piece of tissue, are not humans because they are not conscious. Just because something has the potential of becoming a human in the future does not make it a human now (Planned Parenthood).…
Abortion is a very hot topic these days, where some people support pro-life and others support pro-choice. Pro-life applies that one lives a true sanctimonious life, which is basically saying that would should not kill any living being, not either bacteria and bugs. Other theory is pro-choice, where a decision about abortion cannot be controlled by government and every human has a chance to choose. This is a controversial topic because of the question of the moral status of the fetus and that the fetus has a right to life.…
Are you Pro-Choice or Pro-Life? My position on the subject is Pro-Life. Being able to have an abortion whenever and for whatever reason is wrong. There are many court cases on abortion taking both sides. Roe v. Wade being the biggest of them all taking the side of Pro-Choice. Being Pro-Life you have to look at more than just the one case. Some other cases are Rust v. Sullivan, Mazurek v. Armstrong, and many more go Pro-Life. Understanding that many people believe abortion is okay and anyone should be able to do it makes abortion a hard subject to talk about. Everyone like to put in the opinion on abortion, but how many people look at the facts on abortion? Looking at the facts could change your opinion.…
What is Pro-Choice? Pro-Choice refers to the belief that a woman has the right to abort a baby from her body. Most people do not know how they stand on this subject. Usually a touchy subject, it is often kept a secret. I did extensive research on this subject after my older sister got an abortion. At first I was upset by the fact that she did it but now I realize that it was her choice and not mine. I feel that a woman has the right to do what she wants to her body. If a woman does not feel that she can raise a child then she should be able to do whatever she wants. If a woman gets an abortion in a case where she cannot raise the child then that is one less child put into foster care. During this speech I will inform you of the background on abortion, the different types of abortion, and also the main reasons to be pro-choice.…
Before I read Anna Quindlen’s Article I myself never knew what exactly pro-choice and Pro-life exactly meant, I just knew it was something that was always a heated debate between politics. But after reading this article I myself feel that with enough information that I’m both a prochoice and prolife supporter, I think a women shouldn’t be allowed to just Abort a Pregnancy without a really good explanation such as the baby was conceived by rape or that she suffers from a health condition that would put her in danger if she went through with the pregnancy. Pregnant woman should always consider other options such as adoption or giving the baby to a family member before making that final decision.…
There are a mass amount of controversies when the word “abortion” is brought into awareness. This dispute has brought about both positive and negative affects on society. Abortion plays a major role in the everyday life of a human. People base their political parties, and even the jobs they choose to work at, all depending whether the host is pro-life or pro-choice. I personally am pro-life. I have made the decision of being pro-life based on multiple observations. Some of these observations include you are murdering your own child, you need to face the consequences of your actions, and to give people who are not able to have their own offspring a chance to be a mother/parent.…
There are many differences between a “pro- choice” position on abortion and a “pro- life” position. People who are “pro- choice”, then they believe that it is the woman’s decision if she wants to have a child and carry it for nine months. If someone is “pro- life”, then they are against anyone getting an abortion. They believe that the fetus has the same rights as a human being. The argument the “pro- life” people strongly believe is that every undeveloped human is sacred and must be protected by the government. The “pro- choice” people argue that when a humans personhood cannot be proven in pregnancies, then the government does not have the right to prevent a woman her right to decide whether or not she wants to continue with the pregnancy.…
Both parties have valid arguments and counter points that possibly will never come up with one solution. The continuous battle of contrasting views between both sides will never end. Pro-life activist believe that the fetus is alive once the baby is conceived. Since the baby is believed to be alive, aborting the fetus is murder. Pro-life activist also believe that a woman should be able to suffer the consequences of pregnancy.…
There are two different viewpoints on abortion. Pro-choice and pro-life. Let’s start with the easy one. Pro-life means that a person is completely against abortion. The pro-life viewpoint is the belief that abortion is considered taking the life a human, which would mean that life begins at conception. People may have this viewpoint for religious values, or even their personal moral values, and believe that abortion for anyone is wrong. Pro-choice is a little bit harder to describe. It doesn’t mean pro-abortion, it literally concerns the word choice. People that are pro-choice believe that it is a person’s personal decision as to whether or not they get an abortion. Somebody may be completely against abortion personally, but may still be pro-choice because they believe that it is a person’s decision and that right should not be…
There are many points of view toward abortion, but the two most common are "pro-choice" and "pro-life". A pro-choice person would feel that the decision to abort a pregnancy is that of the mother's and the state should have no right to interfere. A pro-life person believes that from the moment of conception, the embryo or fetus is alive. In the United States about 1.6 million pregnancies end in abortion. Women…
Abortion has been a heated argument amongst the world today. Many people have been asking themselves for years now; do you think abortion is right? Abortion is a very sensitive issue. In the world today abortions are taking place each and every day. The generation we live in today is very ludicrous. There’s miss conception of love, uncontrolled sex hormones, drugs and unbearable responsibilities.…
The process of abortion involves terminating a pregnancy by the removing or expelling of a foetus or embryo from the uterus. A lot of women give reasons like being raped, incest, financial difficulty and a controversial one is if the child has a disability or defect. However the fact remains that abortion is a very controversial topic because its frequency of occurrence around the world, legal consequences, and its cultural and religious status varies extensively in different regions of the world especially in Africa and the United States of America. There are many high-profile groups that champion either pro-choice or pro-life and this is well documented between Democrats and Republicans. Such organizations bring up a host of issues to further their agenda. In the United States, pro-life groups favour greater legal restrictions on abortion, or even the complete criminalization of it. Their argument is that a human foetus is a human being with a right to live, and so abortion is equal to murder. In contrast, pro-choice groups argue that a woman has certain reproductive rights, especially the choice on whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term.…
Abortion has become the number one controversial issue in America over the past 10 years. Abortion is a very deep and personal decision. There are two genres that discuss both the pros and the cons of this personal choice. The first is a website called Abortion. procon.org. It is nonpartisan, nonprofit, and presents facts, studies, and pro and con statements related to abortion. This is a very informational and relatable site that any women should consider in their decision making process. The second source is an e-book by Dr. John Jefferson Davis. This source is called Abortion and the Christian: What Every Believer Should Know. It generally discusses both sides of the…
