...Why Women Should Not Have An Abortion Many women in the entire world have abortions. Women believe there are many reasons to abort such as fear of having or raising a child, rape, or not having enough money. But whatever the situation, there is never an acceptable reason to get an abortion. Some important reasons why women should not abort have to do with human values, religious values, and values of conscience. The first reason why women should not have an abortion is related to basic human values. Women need to think about their unborn babies who are not responsible for this situation. These unborn babies should have the privilege to live and grow into a normal person. Women need to be more humanitarian and less egoistic with these babies. On the other hand, the baby doesn’t know how or why he is here. It is not necessary to kill a life; there are many other solutions to resolve this problem short of abortion. The second reason why women should not abort has to do with religious values. In almost all religions, a woman is not permitted to have an abortion. If they do, their religions will punish them. In some religions, for example, a woman cannot take communion after having an abortion, and before taking communion again, she must do many things as a form of penitence. In whatever religion, abortion is punished and for this reason, women should not abort. Finally, the third and most important reason why women should not abort is related to her conscience...

...9 Reasons Why Abortions Should Be Illegal http://www.mrdata.net/books/9reasons.htm EE: [ Home | Links | Searches | Books | Writings | HTML ] Discuss abortion in the MrData.Net Abortion Discussion Forum. Introduction: Planned Parenthood has written 9 Reasons Why Abortions are Legal. In response, I have written 9 Reasons Why Abortions should be Illegal. Nine Reasons Why Abortions Should Be Illegal Actually, I have been laughing to myself at Planned Parenthood's list, because it is so easy to defeat. It's not Planned Parenthood's fault--there are no good reasons to support abortion, other than serious health issues of the mother or baby. Also, I believe that Planned Parenthood serves many valuable functions. I agree with many things they do. I strongly disagree in their support of abortion. I only chose to debate their particular opinions because a) They are a large, national, pro-abortion organization. b) They have made a list, and my debate tactic suits such a list. I invite you to read the following debate with an open mind and consider the validity of the two opposing opinions. If you can find any error in my facts or reasoning, I hope you will let me know. I am an unmarried, conservative male. I have always been supportive of the life of the unborn. However, in the past my opinion was, "Well, the country is evenly divided on this issue. Although I am personally against abortion, there are others who don't agree with me. I won't force the issue unless there is...

...Should Abortion be legal? 2 Should abortion be legal? What is abortion and who does it affect? An abortion is to terminate a pregnancy by removal of the fetus . The woman is affected by it because it’s her body that this method is performed on. There are millions of abortions done every year, and 95% are done illegally in the United States of America. There are different methods a woman can do to have an abortion done. Some of the methods are taking the” Morning after Pill”. This method will make the woman have a miscarriage within 48 hours. Another method is to have a surgery to remove the baby or fetus. This method gives you up to 22 weeks to have an abortion. The first reason why women have abortions is the mother is in a life threating position. The doctors are the ones who can say if its life threating or if the mother and baby can make it together. About 90% of women who are in life threating situation do not want to live, but they want the baby to make it. The life threating situation is because if the mother can be n a suicide watch and trying to kill the baby and herself. What if the woman fell into a coma while she is pregnant? How would the baby survive, if the mother is not eating and getting the right vitamins that she need for the baby. Sometimes you have to think about the good and the bad in some situations. The second reason women have...

...Should Abortion be legal? Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about four in ten of these are terminated by abortion. In 1973 Roe V. Wade decision, the supreme Court ruled that women, in consultation with their physician, have a constitutionally protected right to have an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy. Abortion is a very serious and dangerous thing to decide 50% of women who have had abortions report experiencing emotion and psychological problems lasting for months or years. Only 12% women reported having a physical problem with their health among having an abortion like an infection called hemorrhage and uterine perforation. My personal experience having an abortion is when my mom had one in 2000. She said that she was not ready to raise other child at this moment in her life, because she just moved to North Carolina and was looking for a job. She felt no guilt about what she has done she thought it was the right thing to do at this point in her life. Most people would argue that abortion is not only wrong, but it is murder to an innocent child with no fault of its own. The first reason that abortion should be illegal because it is murder! For example, the fetus is a distinct individual therefore its DNA is completely its own while the baby is in the womb the baby will show definite signs of emotion. I think that when a human egg and a human sperm meet, the resulting individual is simply human. The number of American babies killed...

...Should abortion be legal? PHI-103 Legalized Abortion Abortion is not an easy decision. In society today abortion has been a very important issue for thousands of years. Everyone has their own opinions and views about abortion. There are two different types of views, the pro-choice activists and there are pro-life activists. Whatever side one decides to take, the argument seems to be pretty equal. For every point supporting abortion there is a counter-point stating just the opposite. The Pro-choice activists believe that it is the woman’s right to choose whether or not to give birth. There are people in our society who believe that abortion should be illegal. For the people who oppose abortion are called the pro-life. A woman should have the right to do as she will with her body and whatever may be inside. Abortion may not be an easy decision but why be against women who make the choice to have one. For thousands of years women have had abortions and many more continue to make the choice of having an abortion for many good reasons. If the government tries to outlaw abortion it will only force women into doing them in a dark and that can be very dangerous to their health, embarrassing, and expensive. Legalized abortions helps protect a women’s health, decreases the world’s population and keeps women from having unwanted pregnancies. Many women had died or have been severely hurt before abortion was legalized. Doctors would perform back alley abortions and at a pricey fee...

...“Pro-choice Abortion” Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. Many people believe it is immoral and even consider it to be murder. The definition of abortion is; “The termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth.” 1 These pro-life believers do not support the idea of induced abortion and believe it should be illegal. Many of these supporters do not know that if abortion were illegal they would still be performed, unfortunately by an uneducated staffs. Over 70 thousand maternal deaths occur every year because of unsafe abortions1. These women die, so the idea of supporting pro-life is contradictory, this is why the nation should be pro-choice. Pro-choice believers support the right to privacy and the idea women should have the choice to do what she pleases with her own body. As an example; a woman is raped by a man and becomes pregnant with his child. She decides she doesn’t want to keep the baby; she has an abortion because the idea of raising a child of her rapist is too painful for her to cope with. Pro-choice defenders take sympathies to this woman while she then gets called a murderer by pro-life supporters. Abortions sometimes results in the woman being harassed because of the choice she has made about her own body. That’s what pro-life supports. Often time’s situations like this turns into harassment which can be considered to be part of anti-abortion violence1....

...There Should be Limits to Abortion I do not believe there should be limitations on abortions. In my personally beliefs the government should not tell a woman what she can and can not do with their bodies. If a female decides to have a baby the choice whether to keep it or not should be up to her and her alone. Who is the government to tell a female she can not have an abortion, or put restrictions on having abortions? What is next are they going to limit the amount of children a female can have like they do in China? Why stop at females what kind of laws they going to be put against men. With the Patriotic law and our government spying on us is that not enough why tell females about abortions. Did the Women’s movement of the 1970s mean nothing at all if men still are going to tell females what to do? I wonder what is next are they going to turn over the 19th Amendment that allows women to vote. The government has entirely to much power over our lives. The Supreme Court decision in Roe V. Wade made it possible for a woman to have an abortion. Prior to the decision many women were dying performing illegal abortions all because they could not have a legal one. Studies show that prior to Roe V. Wade they were many unwanted pregnancies in America. According to The New York Daily News article entitled “Do People agree with Abortion” a staggering 89% of people agree that the government should not put limits on abortions. Another poll shows that 1% of all abortions occur because of...

...Trang Le Professor Barber BC 230 May 2, 2014 Abortion Essay According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day (Abortion Statistics). We have many important decisions to make in life. What to decide about an unplanned pregnancy is an important decision to make. About half of women in America have an unplanned pregnancy at some point in their lives. There are many reasons to abort such as financial instability, relationship problems, unwillingness to be a single mother, health of fetus problems, mother’s health, etc. However, for whatever reasons, women should not have an abortion. The first reason why an abortion is wrong relate to basic human values. We need to think about the unborn babies who are not responsible for this situation. How do you feel if someone took away your ability to live? These unborn babies should have the rights to live and grow as a normal person. By choosing to abort, we destroy their whole future. I believe that human life begins when the female egg is fertilized by the male sperm. Once the egg is fertilized, every identifying characteristic of a brand new human being is present, even the color of the eyes and the hair, the sex and everything else. As the fetus have status of a person, they have the full rights of a child. They should be treated as a separate entity from their mother. The killing of a human being is illegal. However, it is true that...

...a thousand years ago abortion was performed illegally. From 1880 to year 1973, more than a thousand women were fatally injured because of illegal abortions (Medline). In 1973, abortion became legal in the United States, so women could get safer abortions (Medline). Even though abortion was legalized in the United States, women were still seeking illegal abortions, so no one found out. The privacy laws now keep women anonymous from people finding out they aborted their unwanted baby, also known as fetus. As a mother, I sometimes wonder what makes a woman decide to have an abortion. There are other options to choose from, but do the women know about them? Are women just oblivious when it comes to the different procedures abortionist do, and that the unborn baby does feel pain? There would be fewer abortions if women were properly educated. Abortion should not be a choice as it affects the women’s body and mind, their relationships, and the unborn baby. Some people feel abortion is not bad for women. They say women should have a choice in what they do with their bodies, and whether or not they want to have a baby. Yes, I do agree women should have a choice about their body, but you were the unborn baby with the heartbeat and growing, your mother had a choice. I know I am happy with the choice my mother made, how about you? If the mother does not want the baby there is always adoption. Someone else who cannot have a baby would love to adopt one. If the women say they would not be...

...being able to experience the world we know of today? Many bypass this thought process when considering abortion. Women instead think of themselves and their situation when debating the option of abortion. Life is valuable period. Regardless of whether there are good outcomes of abortion, or negative outcomes of abortion, I am against abortion. Regardless of what is going on in life, women know that the only way to not get pregnant is through the choice of abstinence, but they still choose to have sex. With this being a problem it makes abortion look really evil due to careless and selfish choices that women are making today. Abortion has been overthrown and battled in many courts with different cases and the procedure of abortion has granted because the right of the constitution protects the choices that women make with the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment. The constitution protects the rights of women in many different ways including the choice of what women want to do with their bodies. These three amendments make abortion legal and create a bigger problem of diminishing this evil operation for the fact that abortion has been approved by judges all across America. In prior cases, such as Roe vs. Wade, argue that in the case of abortion, it is unconstitutional to take the rights of women away as a citizen and force women to birth a child. In the case of Roe vs. Wade, abortion was granted and deemed constitutional and this decision was based on the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment...

...Abortion is a very controversial subject that has been continually argued over for the past few years and probably many years to come. The main controversy is should abortion be legalized? First before we get into the many sides of abortion we must first define abortion. Abortion is the destruction of the fetus or unborn child while the child is still in the mothers womb. This can be done by almost anyone from the mother herself to back alley abortions and even to abortions by clinics set up especially for this purpose. There are two sides to this abortion topic the PRO-LIFE which is those who are against abortion altogether and the PRO-CHOICE or those who believe it is the womans right to choose if she wants to have an abortion. These two groups offer different solutions to problem. The pro-life solution is to have the child and basically live with it. They believe abortion is not an answer. The pro-choice solution is abortion because of reasons they feel are appropriate. Although abortion is morally and ethically wrong should it be legal for victims of rape or incest who have no other alternative? There is no real answer to this controversy, there are two sides to it though which have been arguing for many years over the subject. The first is the pro-life group. This group does not believe in the abortion factor. To understand where the pro-life stands we must first understand...

...March 20, 2011 “WHY WOMEN SHOULD NOT HAVE AN ABORTION” What it would be like to die so young and fragile? What it would be like to kill someone so young and fragile? Abortion to my definition is the taking of life. Nowadays more and more teens are getting pregnant and having abortions secretly and easily. Even their parents have no idea about this. And to be general not only the teenager do this kind of thing, many women in the entire world had abortion. I think if we asked that question about rape or murder we’d get a clear answer. Shouldn’t people be allowed to rape children if they want to, even if it is wrong? No! Shouldn’t people be given the freedom to steal a car from a dealership even if they know it’s wrong and most of us agree it’s wrong? Of course not! That just doesn’t make sense. It’s the same with abortion. They believe that there are many reasons to abort and it is okay, but I never accept those reasons. There are three important values why I as a woman should not have an abortion. It has to do with my human values, my religious values and my conscience. The first values why I should not have an abortion are related to my basic human values. I must be consider and think about the unborn babies who are not responsible for this situation. These babies have the right to live and grow as a normal person because that was one of the rights of a child even if he is still on the mother’s womb. I must also be humanitarian because in abortion it was just like...

...Often in society when one hears the term “abortion” many think of murder. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by removing or expelling a fetus or embryo from the uterus. (WebMD) Abortion remains a controversial topic due to the fact that it is frequently of occurrence. Pro-life groups argue that a human fetus has a right to live, so abortion is murder. Pro-choice groups argue that a woman has the choice of whether or not to carry a child. More than half of six million pregnancies a year in the United States are considered unplanned. Half of these unplanned pregnancies result in abortion. Abortion should not be looked upon as a sin, or murder, but rather as a medical procedure that could give a woman a better, and even safer choice. Shaming a woman for seeking an abortion is heinous, especially if the pregnancy could be harmful to the mother’s heath. Religion is not something that should decide whether or not a woman has a right to do what she feels is best for her own body. The most common reason why some women seek an abortion is because they are young. (Why Women Choose Abortion) Many women who give birth as teens never finish high school, and do not have the necessities to raise a child such as; financial stability. Although I agree that abortion should not be used as a contraceptive method, I also believe that every child deserves a good home. If a mother herself is still growing up, and does not feel suitable to raise a child for the next eighteen years...

...everyone, especially its parents. However, not every parent is prepared when giving birth to a beautiful baby. Which is why, before the child is supposed to be born, the woman manages to get an abortion. An abortion means to terminate the life of a fetus and it most often happens within the first 28 weeks of the pregnancy. However, it may be much later as well. According to students from the Alan Guttmacher Institute, there are about 1.1 million abortions each year in the United States. It is said that many women who perform abortion do it simply because they are not ready for a child and/or they will not be able to provide for the child after it is born. It is agreed that if a child will not be able to have a decent lifestyle, why bring them into the world? However, there are many other options other than abortion. Abortion should not be legal at any time of the pregnancy, simply because it means means ending a life of an innocent child, it not only affects the fetus but it...

...When talking about abortion rights there is a big controversy about why women should and shouldn't have that right. Put yourself in a women's position having to deal with a big decision to get an abortion or keep a baby. It is a lot of pressure and there are many men who oppose abortion rights along with women, although men don’t share the same connection to the fetus as the mother. People who are against abortion rights believe it violates civil rights--technically, the baby is not considered a human but a fetus. The political concerns of abortion is if the women should have the right to her body or does her body basically belong to the government who is proposing this abortion law. Abortion is a tough dilemma to deal with in the state of law. There are many reasons to why a women should not have the right to get an abortion. The biggest one that caught my attention was, it violates the fetuses civil rights conforming to Live Action News, “Unborn children are deprived of life – the most basic right of all – simply based on their location (their mother’s womb) and their developmental status,” the multitude of people who are against abortion...
