If a woman chooses not to seek medical attention for her unborn child, is that not the same as a mother not seeking medical attention for her baby’s aliment? In fact I believe it is and we as a society consider that negligence. So we must decide that a fetus is not a part of the mother’s body but a person, and that her right to freedom of choice must be weighed against the fetus’s right to be born in a healthy state. Against: Are we as a society ready to demand more of an expectant mother than anyone else? If we are sincerely committed to equality then the answer must be no.
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.
Hypothetically, you are in a rape situation. You do not want to have to re-live that memory every day when you look at your child, but it is not the child’s fault that situation happened. They should not be killed over something a cruel individual did to you. They deserve to have a life as well. Babies are innocent and should not be murdered.
Therefore, abortion would not be a defiance against God. Another main point of the argument is over the woman's personal rights, versus the rights of the unborn child. Pro-choice activists maintain that regardless of the individual circumstances, women should have the right to chose whether or not to abort. The pregnancy and labor will affect only the woman's body, therefore it should be the woman's decision. Pro-life supporters, on the other hand, believe that the unborn child has the right to life, and that abortion unlawfully takes away that right.
All mothers wish their children the best. Mothers would do anything in their will to support them or save their lives. Some mothers go through tough times learning that their children have a disease or illness and the only way to treat it is to have a matching organ .When the parents or siblings do not have the matching organ, there really is no decision left rather than having a new born created to give an organ away to save the sick child. Donor babies or savior siblings are conceived for one purpose and it is to save their older sibling. There is no permanent law against savior babies but parents should not create life to save others.
Given that Susan did not necessarily plan to have a child at that stage in her life would not make it fair that it be put upon her. I strongly agree with Thomson’s view that the fact that she didn’t offer her body to have a child within her, she then has no obligation to keep the fetus alive. And for her to have an abortion may be a bit selfish and inconsiderate of the baby’s potential, but it would not be unjust for her to do so. In Tammy’s case, after having decided to keep the child, to decide to get an abortion so late into the pregnancy is in fact unjust. By doing so, she taking away the fetus’ life because it would be so inconvenient for her in the short run of her life.
Sean Stanton Mr. Hopkins Communication Skills 16 December 2008 “Pro-choice” A woman who is pregnant with a child should have the right to decide whether or not she can let the embryo or fetus she is carrying continue to be present inside her body. Because a woman is entitled to certain reproductive rights, especially the choice of whether or not to carry a pregnancy to birth, outlawing abortion would be wrong. Outlawing abortion is also wrong because the pro-life movement can negatively affect the life of a woman to help the condition of an embryo or fetus. To add to that, an embryo or fetus is not a person it simply has the potential of becoming one. Finally, the main argument I am trying to present is that I do not think we should
Those people who are not in favor of abortion has the choice to not abort a baby and to those who has different religious and moral beliefs, like we all do, should have the right to stand what they think is right and moral and should not have to live on the belief system of other people. If a woman feels and knows that her pregnancy is harmful for her and for the baby’s physical and mental health, and if she knows that the child will grow up in poor environment, she should have the choice to do what she thinks is right, to do what she wants, and to decide for herself. Abortion is something that needs to be decided based on a person’s own beliefs and no one has the right to decide this for someone else. Do some people know what it is like to be a young, goal oriented woman, having an entire great future, and then she is suddenly facing difficult decision of choosing her great future or having an unwanted child? You
Abortion An abortion is ending a pregnancy before the unborn child is able to live outside of his/her mother. If a woman was to have an abortion before reaching twenty-four weeks is considered a miscarriage; if the woman is beyond the twenty-four weeks then she is having an abortion to deliberately end her pregnancy. Women tend to get abortions due to lack of protection, not ready to be responsible for another human being or unfortunately the woman was raped and doesn’t want to have the rapiers child. Some who believe in abortion use it as a way of birth control and the others who don’t believe in abortion find it as murdering an unborn child. Abortion is a very emotional and personal circumstance to handle, but with anyone it has to be taken
Abortion is wrong Joshua La Beau – Union, Mo Have you ever wondered what the world would be like without you? Every living thing was put on this earth for a reason, and only God knows what that reason might be. This is why I believe that abortion is wrong. The world would be a very different place if abortion had not been legalized. Abortion is wrong because it ends a human life, causes emotional and sometimes physical harm to the mother, and is contributing to the economic crisis.
