Dyanna Flores Mr.Kegley HST 23 September 2015 Abortion Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. It is performed on the fetus during the beginning of its development and is usually performed around 28 weeks after conception. “Over 8,000 adolescents become pregnant each year, 80% of these pregnancies are unintended, and many of these end in abortion” (Santelli, 74). I am against abortion because I think it is unprincipled and it’s inhumane. I feel this way because it’s basically the killing of
the baby and the mother perish, it is labeled as a double homicide. A woman has an abortion, it is legal and she can continue her life peacefully. Abortions are legal in all fifty states. The murder of small, innocent babies is lawful for anyone to do anytime. The laws dealing with abortion are far too lenient, causing people to be audacious with their sexual business and insensitive to human life. Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy and should be illegal or
7th Period (Aundreya Allen) Abortion - The deliberate termination of a pregnancy , most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy. When it comes to abortion, I am pro choice. When a woman decides to abort a baby it is most likely for a legitimate reason. For example, if a woman is poor and doesn’t have a stable lifestyle why would she bring a baby into that same lifestyle? Everyone wants a good life, it would be selfish and naive to bring someone into a life just to struggle. There
Abortion is a controversial issue around the world. Many people against abortion find it socially wrong to end a pregnancy because it results in the killing of an unborn child. Most pro-life supporters would say it is the killing of an innocent life. But, a pro-choice supporter would argue that there are many reasons in pregnancy that need to be taken into consideration before one could deem an abortion as unnnessary. In this paper, I will take a stance as a pro-choice supporter. I will discuss
In my opinion I agree with the position that the mother must be the one to make the final decision on whether to have an abortion or not. “For many women, the abortion controversy is personal, involving judgments about their own body, their own health and happiness, and their own inner turmoil provoked by life-and-death decisions.”(page 163). In my opinion the women is the one who will be carrying the child through the process putting her health and body to at risk to provide nutrients for the fetus
the biggest controversies in today’s society. Really, it shouldn’t even be a topic of discussion. Your body is your body and no one else’s. No one other than you should decide what you can or cannot do with it. Allowing the government to decide if abortions should be legal is like having a fish as your flight instructor. If you spell pro-life backwards it spells efil-orp, which makes no sense, just like that mentality. One of the points that pro-lifers argue is that it should be illegal to prevent
Abortion has been around for many generations. There are two issues that focus on abortion, one being whether the human fetus has a right to life and if so does the rights of the mother reverse the rights of the fetus. Two people that have very forceful opinions of abortion are Judith Jarvis Thomson and Don Marquis. Thomson presents a argument for abortion and in some cases on what humans are obligated to do in order to help others. Marquis argues against abortion and establishes that fetus has

In his article “Why I Provide Abortions” Parker, Willie a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist is also the chairman-elect of the Board of Physician for Reproductive Health.

Judith Jarvis Thompson: A Defense of Abortion Fetuses are not persons; people have the right to existence, so determining what happens to their bodies is far more imperative in order to save their own exists. Judith Thomson believes that fetuses are not individuals; it is only until birth that they become a person. This article written by Judith Thompson is trying to defend abortion and for the sake of this disagreement, she is going to accept that fetuses are persons at the time of conception
There are many arguments as to why abortion is morally wrong. Philosopher Don Marquis proposed a new argument. He called this argument the “future like ours” argument. In the future like ours argument, it is claimed that since killing a person is wrong, then it is wrong to kill a fetus. In this argument, it is equally wrong to kill a fetus just as it is killing an individual. The argument simply states that if one kills a fetus, that individual is robbing the fetus of its future and the potential
