Abortion is an on-going debate throughout the United States. Americans divide 50% as pro-choice and 44% on pro-life. (Saad, 2015) Majority of women side with pro-choice, and being a woman myself, I stand with pro-choice. I believe that it’s an individual’s right to decide what they’re doing to their bodies, and no one else should be allowed to deny them of said right. There are many different reasons as to why someone would get an abortion. Whether it be from results of rape, birth control failure, teen pregnancy, or whatever the case may be, every abortion is thought out and no option is an easy option.…

I was deeply grieved to read your article “Abortion Without Apology: A Prescription for Getting the Pro-Choice Groove Back” in your magazine. It breaks my heart that you take a stand for choice while avoiding the topic of other choices. Contraceptives were left unmentioned, adoption was neglected, and there was an extreme emphasis on women that are impregnated due to incest or rape. These women account for less than 1% of abortions. You say you are pro-choice. What choice did those aborted children have? If a person is proclaimed dead when their heart stops, why is it they are not proclaimed alive when it starts? Abortion should not be an option. There are many alternatives leading up to this point and there continue to be options that remain…
Obama has a very interesting view on abortion. Obama “has revealed himself to be a strong supporter of the pro-choice position and maintains that it is a woman's right to choose what happens with her body” (Zaimov. 2012). He does claim to be a Christian but it is interesting that he views abortion this way; although, he does find it wrong but thinks we shouldn’t be able to make the choice for women whether or not they should keep their baby. A big company that deals with abortion is Planned Parenthood. If re-elected he still plans on opposing anything that might stop the funding for this company. They help women get the birth control they need, abortions but also to help you get the treatment you need for STD’s and such. He will plan on letting women make their own choice with what…

Abortion is a constitutional issue that questions whether it is ethically acceptable or a violation of the Constitution. It is a constant debate that revolves around moral, religious, and political values and effects several groups including pro-life supporters, pro-choice supporters, the state government, the federal government, courts, mothers, fathers, and most importantly, the child inside the womb. For one reason or another, these groups have their reasons and this essay will explore those arguments and their ethical value, while citing many of the conflicts that have arose in the United States over this highly controversial, constitutional topic. I believe that abortion should be outlawed in the United States with the exception of rape cases and other severe situations.…

The idea has of abortion has been around since people figured out how babies have come to be, and there always has been two sides the recently coined terms Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. The Pro-Lifers believe that the unborn fetuses have as much rights as a born child and that to terminate the pregnancy would be the same as murdering a person outside the womb. The Pro-Choicers believe it is up to the individual person to make the decision whether to continue the pregnancy or terminate. They may not personally believe in abortion, but they feel it is not their place to decide what a woman should do with her body.…
In the first chapter Fineman poses the question “Who is a person?”. The answer seems to be something so simple, yet it is very complex. The topic deals with humans rights given in the constitution. The question has always been prominent in our society because the founding fathers wrote a constitution the did not fit all Americans. The constitution was written for the white male. African Americans and women did not have these rights until later on in history. The question also is apparent in the abortion argument, Gary Bauer a prominent figure in the Pro-life movement fights to say unborn fetuses are people. The meaning of a person and who deserve constitutional is expanding. In history it wasn't always so easy and people had to fight for their…
The terms liberal and conservative are used more than others in academia, political conversations, and by the media. However, it is doubtful that many people have a clear understanding of what each label represents and the differences they signify. It is difficult to pickup an editorial page of any newspaper without reading about the in-fighting of conservatives and liberals in either the house of representatives or the senate or other political groups due to the fact that these terms are often used improperly. It is crucial that the interested student and concerned individuals are able to define them and recognize when they are properly and improperly used.Whatever the differences in the “left” and the “right” accepting change and involving…
