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.
Abortion should remain legal so women would keep their faith and they will not experience hardship with their unwanted baby. There are many reasons why abortion should remain legal. It preserves a humans beings life and prevents the mother to have an unwanted life with a baby that she doesn’t want. If abortion becomes illegal not only one life will be affected but it would be the mother and the unwanted baby. The bible does not say anything about abortion but has something that sounds like they are talking about abortion.
I believe it is right that infanticide is illegal because as soon as the baby is born it is a living, breathing human being. If a mother can’t take care of her baby then she should give it up for adoption instead of ending its life before it even has a chance. Nine months should be plenty of time for the decision to be made on whether or not to end the pregnancy. For the fact that disabilities can be detected so much sooner nowadays there shouldn’t be any need to end a pregnancy late-term. Personally, I believe early-term abortions with reason are acceptable, but infanticide should not ever be a
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.
Yes, everyone in the United States does have that freedom to choose, but killing their child should not even be an option when it means taking away that child’s right to life. Are we saying that an adult’s rights are more important than the rights of babies and
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
The child gets chance to live and another family who may not be able to have children get a chance of experiencing the joy of having a baby. Second, the mother could keep her child. Who better to raise a baby than their own flesh and blood with the help of their family members and the father? Christians are those who lean more toward the anti-abortion side because the Bible clearly says not to murder. Those pro-abortion, generally do not consider a “fetus a human being when it is sufficiently developed to be capable of living outside the uterus,” they claim, “ a fetus is a fetus, not a human being” (Sarvis 21).
He claims that abortion advocates find a slim margin to dictate when a fetus becomes a human. This criteria for pro-choice believers is “…only persons have the right to life seems evident enough. Furthermore, because fetuses are neither rational nor possess the capacity to communicate in complex ways nor posses a concept of self that continues through time, no fetus is a person.”(206,II,B) He challenges this concept by comparing its requirements to that of an infant, or a mentally challenged individual. Marquis then presents the reoccurring argument of his “FLO”
Abstract Over the years there has been a controversial debate over the issue of abortion dating back to the early 1800’s. States and laws have set limitations on abortions, which have drastically changed society, technology, doctors, and even the lives of babies. The main issue has been whether to consider when the fetus actually begins to have life. Sadly, this issue has been greatly overlooked. The focus is no longer on the mother let alone the human being she has inside, it has been about power and money.
Abortion in the United States Abortion has always been an indecisive topic in the United States. Whether it should be legal or not, whether it should be determined by a doctor, whether a woman has any say-so in it at all, or even the rights of the baby before it’s born. I am going to share with you the opinions of different people and their view on abortion. In the first article, “Understanding Why Women Seek Abortions in the U.S.” by Antonia Biggs, the author is trying to understand the reasoning behind why women seek abortions. In most cases women do not publicly discuss their experience of having an abortion.
