Even a pro-choice individual’s views quickly change toward abortion and exactly how legally available it should be when the same woman gets pregnant and aborts her child more than once. These types of advances all seem to be a good idea but they all have complications and loopholes which those of our modern society will take advantage of. If only the world could be perfect, then women would not have to rely on others to help them accomplish something that should come naturally. If only all surrogate mothers were respectful, and follow through with an agreement, then there could be accommodating alternatives for those less
Pregnant women, who prefer abortion, on her opinion, make a choice of the same kind. Williams, however, claims that life starts at conception, and such terms as "the first trimester" or "second trimester" cannot help to define life. On the other hand, she claims that abortion should be applied, if it is necessary as abortion sometimes can save lives. Although the author admits that such a life might be worth any sacrifice, the right to decide whether such sacrifice should be done belongs exclusively to the mother. The presented article demonstrates rather effective use of ethos, logos and pathos.
Say an under aged girl, or even a girl who isn’t under aged was molested or raped, and that resulted in a pregnancy. Someone with Utilitarian views could say it is better to have the abortion because it could cause more harm on the baby or the mother if she continues the pregnancy, and suffers depression by the constant reminder growing inside of her, or after the child is born she could resent the child and cause it harm. These situations would have a negative outcome for more people than a good one, so in Utilitarinaism eyes, aborting the baby would be the right thing to do. Consider someone who is looking to adopt a baby, because they cannot have a baby of their own. If a woman aborts her baby she could be denying that couple who can’t have a baby the opportunity to adopt.
After actually doing this research I continue to be Pro-Choice, but with some limitations. I do believe that it is the right of a woman to decide matters over her own body. A woman should be able to have an abortion if the fetus develops with any diseases or disorders that are detrimental to quality of life. I do not think a woman should have a child that they do not want or can not support either be financially or emotionally, because the child is the one that will suffer. The child is most likely be mistreated, abused, and neglected at no fault of their own.
It directly opposes human rights. Abortion should not be used as a matter of contraceptive either. It can have harmful effects on the mother later in life and can leave damage to the body. It can cause a woman to have other complications during pregnancies later in life. In addition to that there are studies that prove that breast cancer is heightened in women who had an abortion earlier in life.
I don’t think that Margaret wanted to be controversial, from this project I also learned of the obstacles that they faced with getting the drug paid for by health insurance. Another thing that I learned about the “pill” is that there are many different kinds available to women, each “pill has its own pros and cons. For women who suffers from Acne there is a pill for that, the con for taking this particular pill is that it may hinder a women’s reproductive system from reproducing, also if a woman is pregnant and they consume the bill their child/ren may be born with a birth defect. As a woman I never knew that Birth control was not covered by private insurance carriers, I was shocked to learn that in 2000 EEOC made it mandatory for private insurance to cover the prescription drug, as of 2010 there are over one thousand lawsuits pending against Bayer healthcare corporation because of side effects that women experienced after taking the “pill.” While birth control has been a controversial issue from 1900’s until present day, I think that the decision should ultimately left up to a woman to decide what
Women who take this pill guard from a surgical abortion which is much more uncomfortable. Statistics tell us that “between the years of 1994 and 1995 96% of the women who took the pill would recommend it to others; 91% would choose to use it again; 88% found it effective and satisfactory” (Meier 1). Women are prone to feel much more personal safety due to it being less invasive than the surgical procedure. Women who choose to take this pill can avoid trauma and anti-abortion protestors for the matter because it can be done by their own private physician where it is legal. Being free of emotional and physical invasion has made easier for women to want to take it again even after failing the first time (fraser
(New Beginnings Health Center)When used properly the pill prevents ovulation and interfering with sperm entry through the cervix. Although implantation prevention is not the mechanism of action for the majority of women, women who take birth control pills do risk the chance of aborting their unborn child.
Melissa Capristo Mr. Baumgartner English 10 Honors 2 December 2012 Pro-Choice How would you feel if someone controlled what you did to your own body? I feel that by not making abortion legal you are controlling someone’s rights to their own body. Many women that want to have an abortion have emotional and personal reasons behind it. Some women choose to have their babies even though they didn’t want to but I believe that those kids have a high chance of growing up feeling unloved by their mother. I believe that every single person that is born into this world should have the rights to their own body.
The relgious aspects of abortion do not go along with Pro-Choice. Religons like Catholics or Protestants believe that a fetus is a person from conception (West Encyclopedia of American Law 3). So to them abortion goes against the Sixth Commandment of the Bible, "Thou shalt not kill" (ProCon 2). Many people do not agree with late term abortions, such as in the second and third trimester, made by reasons of convenience (Saad 1). By this time the baby can surely feel pain.
