Four out of every 10 unintended pregnancies end in abortion. For women choosing abortion 52% are under the age of 25. “Every year since 1977, 1.3 million abortions are performed in the United States alone; and about 21 % of all American women between the ages of 15-44 years old have had an abortion” (Arthur EBSCO). Abortion has become very common in the United States as a way out of an accidental pregnancy. Abortion stops the baby from being born, but also greatly affects the mother, and sometimes
Abortion is being talked about worldwide; is it ok or is it not? Abortion is not ok. God gave people of the world life, how can people kill it freely? If a person has an abortion, that is murder. That mother just killed that baby; she just killed that life, and with what cost? Absolutely nothing, what’s with that? There’s no difference in killing a 30-year-old-man and in aborting a baby. Yet, the penalties are so different; one gets no punishment; the other goes to jail for the rest of his or

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
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
Don Marquis pointed out that abortion is serious wrong morally.His’ article,”Why Abortion Is Immoral?”,has been highly anthologized at April 1989. Marquis criticizes the argument between anti-abortion and pro-choice always uses the same point to attack each other.It is the result of stand-off results and forming a vicious cycle. Marquis explains why abortion is immoral without assuming the personhood of the fetus.It skips the argument of Judith Thomson, which is the right of the mother to choose
writing “On The Moral and Legal Status of Abortion”, Mary Anne Warren thoroughly assesses the legal standing of abortion to be just and fair based upon the possession of these criteria for humanity: consciousness, reasoning, self-motivated activity, flexible communication skills, and self-concept—characteristics a fetus supposedly lacks. When Warren undermines the argument in which life begins at conception, she establishes a liberal, pro-choice position to abortion. In my thesis, I will discuss the problem

Abortion is the intentional ending of a pregnancy either in a medical or surgical way. In 1973 the Supreme Court decided that abortion should be part of women's rights privacy (Roe v. Wade (1973)). There are numerous reasons why women consider abortion, some of them are teen pregnancy, financial instability, relationship problems, not willing to be a mother and even being obligated to abortion, etc. According to U.S Abortion Statistics in 2011 approximately 1.06 million abortions took place in the
people consider abortion as killing a human being while it is inside the mother’s womb. Therefore, a lot of people are against it. However, there are many people who support abortion because they feel like it is a right that a mother has if she is not ready to take responsibility. Although abortion may seem like a great option for some people, they do not know the consequences. Abortion comes with possible side effects such as; health complications, expenses and a stressful life. Abortion should not be
