Spontaneous abortion which is what occured for my aunt, this is an abortion that happens when the fetus isn’t developing correctly . This is a loss of women's pregnancy before the 20th week. Another type of abortion is done medically,simply called Medical abortion. This is brought to by the use of drugs or oral preparation,such as a pill.

...Why is abortion so popular today? Eastern Europe has the highest abortion rate in the world at forty-three abortions per 1,000 women. Also, in the U.S., African American women are at least five times more likely to have an abortion. Almost 1,876 African American babies are aborted every day. This is a high killing rate for unborn children. No one knows what an asset these children could grow up to be. Americans should take more of a stand against abortions. Although abortions have been practiced for many years, there could be ways of preventing it. Many women all around the country have used abortions to control reproductivity. History shows although abortions were not necessarily legal or illegal, they have been performed since 1880. However,...

...Name: Glennder Rooplal Topic: Abortion Claim: Abortion is not the best solution. Thesis Statement: Abortion is not the best solution because abortion is murder, it is an unsafe procedure which endangers the lives of women and it disallows for safer options such as adoption. Points It contributes to mass murder It endangers the lives of women It disallows for options such as adoption Introduction The dictionary defines Abortion as: The termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival. This simply means, inducing birth to kill the fetus, or baby before it is carried to full term. However, I would define abortion as morally and spiritually wrong. How would you feel if you were denied the right to live? Imagine being held against your will, gagged, and your hands bounded as you are placed in front of a firing squad about to be killed for absolutely no reason. Your right to live depends solely on someone else’s decision, hoping and praying that their decision is one that will be one of moral and ethical consciousness and would allow you your right. This is exactly what abortion entails, denying you your right to live. There are many women who might have gotten pregnant and thought that they were not ready to have a child. For most of them, they turn to abortion and see it as their only way out. I am certain many of these women have not fully understood the consequences behind abortion or does not realise that there are many other...

...Murder: The crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought. So I ask you is abortion wrong? Do you think its ok to do so? Should it only be up to the woman? Should people study how to effectively kill an unborn child? Would it be ok if you were raped by someone, whether someone close, or a complete stranger? Is adoption not an option for some? When does the situation become ok for you to even consider this as a legit option? A final option? I feel like abortion shouldn’t even be considered. Abortion is the type of topic that can be strongly argued from both perspectives. Abortion, if thought of a strictly wrong, can come down to your moral belief or how you were brought up? If thought of as ok, then you can say how the child will effective you in the long run, or even if you got pregnant from a bad situation....

...Abortion is any expulsion of the fetus, natural or induced when is in the womb and can´t survive on their own. When I heard that people aborted. I thought that it wasn´t fair to that life that was in that womb died because his/her mother chose and didn´t have the opportunity to decide to live or not. But also, I thought of those women who were sexually harassed, and they have the right to choose not to have that baby. Nobody wants a child with a father who doesn´t know who is or doesn´t love him. Abortion is one of the most controversial problems in these times, both in the way they are practiced and in the way of cataloging it as it is the cause of controversies that impact our society. Mothers do not suffer in most of the cases, because they do not imagine that they could not be in this world if their mothers had done the same as them. When the abortion is started, they do not imagine that the person who was going to be born could be a salvation for all of us. He could have been a scientist or an inventor,...

...Twenty-one percent of all U.S. pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. There are many people who are for abortion and many who are against it. Although some may believe that abortion is the solution for them, it shouldn’t even be considered a solution because it is essentially murder. There are only special cases in which abortion should be considered and that is if there is a health risk for the mother or the child. Just because technology made it accessible doesn’t mean it’s ethical. In fact it’s extremely unethical and should only be allowed in special cases. In my opinion, when anyone has sex they are consenting to all the risks that come with it, one of them being pregnancy. When a woman gets pregnant, whether it’s intentionally...

...No matter the person, no matter the cause, they matter. Between the two articles “Abortion” and “The Rights of a Woman Do Not Outweigh the Rights of a Child”, they each give their opinion on abortion, also revealing their side of the matter. Even though much is not given on which side is chosen, the article “Abortion” goes more into explaining the situation and controversy of abortion. Controversy like some people believe that it is alright for women to have abortions because they think that an embryo or fetus is not a human life because it is unborn, which is completely false. The article “The Rights of a Woman Do Not Outweigh the Rights of a Child” is on the side of being against abortion. They talk about how the rights of an unborn baby...

...Imagine a world where every child in the mother's womb is allowed to live and fulfil his or her dream. A world free of abortion means a perfect world for all humanity. The truth is, there is no such thing as perfection. Every year, about 42 million innocent babies are killed through the process of abortion. Abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. Abortion has been around more than thousand of years. The earliest known description of abortion comes from the Ebers Papyrus (ca. 1550 BCE), an ancient Egyptian medical text drawn, ostensibly, from records dating as far back as the third millennium BCE. Abortion was performed without any law or restriction. Until the 19th century, the United States of America passed abortion laws which prohibited any actions on abortion. Nowaday, more than 90% of all countries worldwide ban abortion,...

...Abortion is the termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in, or accompanied by the death of the fetus. ("Abortion," Encarta 98). In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, dramatically changed the legal landscape of American abortion law. The result of the ruling required abortion to be legal for any woman; regardless of her age and for any reason during the first seven months of pregnancy, and for almost any reason after that. ("Status of Abortion in America"). In the Roe v. Wade case, Roe (Norma McCorvey), had claimed she was gang raped and attempted to have an abortion in Texas. ("Roe and Doe"). After hearing the case, the Supreme Court ruled that an American’s right to privacy included the right of a woman whether or not to have children, and the right of a woman and her doctor to make that decision without state interference, at least in the first trimester of pregnancy. ("Celebrating 25 Years of Reproductive Choice"). The moral issue of abortion—whether or not it is murder—has been debated since it was legalized in 1973. Roe v. Wade has been one of the most controversial Supreme Court decisions of the 20th century. ("Roe No More"). More than two decades since the Supreme Court first upheld a woman’s right to abortion, the debate over the morality and legality of induced abortion continues in the United States. ("Abortion," Encarta 98). Abortion is one of the most divisive and emotional issues facing United States policy makers today. ("Economics of Abortion")...

...Abortion: Why it's Wrong How would you feel if someone took away your ability to live? Imagine not having any say in whether or not you want to have a life. Well babies don't have a choice in their mother’s womb. If a woman decides to abort her baby, they can't do anything about their life being taken away from them. Their whole future is demolished. I believe abortion is wrong when committing it for a selfish reason. One reason why abortion is wrong is because there are many other safer solutions. In the article, Why Do More People Choose Abortion Over Adoption?, Kristi Burton Brown stated: “In the USA, there are approximately two million infertile couples waiting to adopt, many times regardless of the child’s medical problems such as Down Syndrome, Spina Bifida, HIV infection or terminally ill. Dr. Brad Imler, President of America’s Pregnancy Helpline, confirms the challenge of waiting couples by stating: Only 1% of the Helpline’s annual 40,000 clients inquires about adoption.” Putting him/her up for adoption will give them a better chance at a happier life rather than abortion. The solution for a baby should not be death. If it was for a selfish solution, you're sacrificing a life many other families would love to raise as their own. Another reason why I don't support abortion is because it can harm the mother as well. You are highly risking the mother's life and affecting her. Not only does it have an effect on the USA but, it affects other countries as well like...

...Don Marquis, “Why Abortion is Immoral” Marquis’ claim is that abortion is prima facie wrong because abortion deprives somebody (the fetus) of its future of value. Marquis observes that there is a stalemate in the arguments that both anti-abortionists and pro-choicers put forward about abortion: 1. The anti-abortionist argument 1) It is always prima facie wrong to take a human life. 2) A fetus is a human life from the moment of conception. 3) Abortion involves taking a human life, and is therefore prima facie wrong. A Problem with this argument: i) A cancer cell culture is also a human life (it is both living and human), but we don’t think it wrong to destroy cancer cell cultures. The anti-abortionist can try to overcome this problem by changing her argument to: 1) It is always prima facie wrong to kill human beings. 2) A fetus is a human being from the moment of conception. 3) Abortion involves killing human beings, and is therefore prima facie wrong. 2 problems with this argument: i) Are fetuses really human beings? ii) What is so special about human beings that makes it wrong to kill them? Why is killing human beings wrong, while killing rats or chickens is not? 2. The pro-choice argument 1) It is prima facie wrong to kill only persons.. 2) A fetus is not a person. 3) Therefore, abortion does not involve killing persons, and is not prima facie wrong. Problems with this...

...Abortion February 23 2015 “Is abortion moral or immoral?” We still have no answer. We defend about the nature and the moral status of the fetus. Don Marquis as well as Bonnie Steinbock embraces with the argument of their own, which point out the morality of abortion. Don Marquis upholds the fact of since abortion deprives the fetus of a future like ours therefore most abortion is morally wrong. He adheres in his article “abortion is, excepting possibly in rare cases, seriously immoral”, what he meant was that not all abortions are wrong. He did not discuss about the exception of “… abortion before implantation, abortion when the life of a woman is threatened by a pregnancy or abortion by rape” Regard of that, Marquis has claimed, “… It is in the same moral category as killing an innocent adult human being.” He inquires the reason of killing a human being is wrong. Marquis explains the killing is not just cause of pain and perceive of loss to the victim’s family, moreover it includes the basis loss to the victims themselves as “the loss of one’s life deprives one of all the experiences, activities, projects, and enjoyments that would otherwise have constituted one’s future”. With the respect of Marquis’s theory, it is the loss of a valuable future like ours that respond to the question of why killing a human being is morally wrong. Moreover, Marquis also stated in his article “…the future of a standard fetus includes...

...Abortion: Is it Right or is it wrong? Liberty University Human Growth and Development Dr. Robert Pace Contina Roby August 14, 2013 Abstract The purpose of this research paper is being done in reaction to the Mississippi’s Potential Initiative 26 Law. In response to Initiative 26 Law personhood is describe as “all human being from the second of conception, replicating or the functional corresponding thereof”. This would forbid abortions and certain birth control pill. Biblically it says “Thou Shall not Kill” but what transpire when a minor is raped and get pregnant.

The persistence of this paper is to analysis this subject Biblically and then analysis it based upon how people view it. Key Words: Abortion, God, Murder Abortion: Is it Right or is it wrong? Abortion has become very popular in recent years. There are many people who support it and many that don’t. Sometimes abortion seems necessary but still God’s word, “Thou Shall Not Kill” stand. Many people will refuse to accept God’s word as a standard by which they should live and make decision. This is their right to reject it. Having an abortion is basically killing an innocent child. It has become a manufacturing, an elucidation, an excuse to avoid responsibility (Anderson, 2003). Abortion is wrong because God said we are not to murder, but not...
