Many of the arguments made by the pro-life team take a moral, ethical, or religious standpoint in their persuasion of others. In order for us to gain a more objective look at the debate with real-world pros and cons, the moral, ethical, and/or religious arguments will not be covered. Abortion has been a topic of controversy in America for almost two hundred years. The earliest known instance of conflict occurred in 1821 when Connecticut outlawed the selling of poisons used to induce abortion in women (Abortion ProCon.org). In 1845, New York began the trend of slapping legal consequences for women who have abortions.
Abortion is seen as no different to murder. In the case or Rape or incest, pro-life campaigners argue that the child is the one being punished when it has not committed the crime and that the child is completely innocent and it’s the criminal that instead should be punished. Pro –life campaigners also argue that adoption is an alternative to abortion, and that many people will use abortion as a method of contraception. They argue that there are thousands of people waiting to adopt children, so if a mother decides she doesn’t want her child for any reason she can offer this child through adoption to a suitable
One of the many issues the United States is dealing with is abortion, should it be legal or should it be illegal? Republicans are against abortions unless it was rape or something of that nature. They feel an unborn child has right just as well as a person living on earth and they feel no one should have their life taking from them because a person made the wrong choice or was just being irresponsible. However, on the other hand, Democrats feel abortion should be pro choice. They feel we as the government should not decide for any person and what they should do with their life due to a bad decision or a wrong choice.
Therefore, it is not the employers’ right to deny the majority of those that are unable to afford children, and want to reduce unintended pregnancies the coverage of birth-control.

Since I am a pro-life supporter, I am strongly against abortion because abortion in most cases is the deliberate killing of the defenseless among us; this act should be stopped. The Supreme Court’s decision essentially legalized abortion through the 28th week of gestation but however, the pro-life vs. pro-choice debate has continued over the years (controversial forums). There are many psychological and physical effects of abortion. Physical complications may include excess bleeding, infection and cervical lacerations. These can cause long term risk like conceiving or carrying future children to term.
Abortion Ryan- was heartfelt honest on his view s of abortion, and pro-life choice. Biden didn’t express his personal view, but jumped on the ban wagon of women’s rights and the government should pay for abortions I felt Ryan was the most honest about this issue and answered the question better than Biden. I felt Biden avoided the question and changed the subject. In conclusion I felt Ryan was honorable and professional handling the tough questions and had good answers. Biden used his body language and altitude to distract the issues at hand and not a very good representation of what I want my VP of the United States to be.
To say that someone is "pro-life" is to say that the person believes that the government has a right to preserve all human life, regardless of intent or quality-of-life. The "pro-choice" view is that a baby does not have human rights within the mother's womb. Pro-life believes- that even incapable growing babies and undeveloped human life is sacred and must be protected by the government. Abortion they therefore believe must not be legal, nor should it be widely done on an illegal basis. Pro-choice believes- that abortion is the belief that women have the right to choose to abort a baby from their body.
Anderson adopts a patriotic tone in an effort to appeal to readers that may disagree with her argument. Anderson begins her piece by stating, “First I am not a member of the N.R.A, nor am I politically affiliated with any left or right wing side. I am simply a very concerned American.” Right away it’s evident that the writer is making the article non-biased and clearing any thoughts of such beforehand, thus using the appeal of ethos as a method of declaring her identity. Anderson further goes on to say that, “The Government and the media expect the public to be too ignorant to have the common sense to know, the more gun control laws for the law abiding citizens will create the law abiding public to be lambs to the slaughter.” In this piece, the writer speaks in a vexed tone expressing her annoyance and directs questions to the reader by asking, “What criminal will be worried about the gun control laws?”
From a non-biblical standpoint, it is based on whether a woman finds it ethically right to terminate a pregnancy and what effect it would ultimately have on her happiness. Therefore, abortion is not philosophically incorrect. In this paper, we will discuss how natural law, utilitarianism and ethical relativism cause opposition to these theories. Abortion is defined as: “The deliberate termination of a human pregnancy." However, if only the debate over the abortion issue was as simple as the definition provided.
One controversial issue is the topic of abortion. Democrats who are “ Pro- Choice” strongly stand behind Roe v. Wade (a decision made by the Supreme Court ruling that a woman has the right to choose abortion defended by her right to privacy under the due process clause in the Fourteenth amendment). Democrats object to any attempt that takes away that right from a woman regardless of her ability to pay for it. Democrats place confidence behind their opinion that “abortion is an intensely personal decision between a woman, her family, her doctor, and her clergy; there is no place for politicians or government to get in the way”. Granting democrats certainty that women have the choice to abort an unwanted pregnancy, in the event that the woman does choose to continue with the pregnancy Democrats advocate belief in the access of availability to programs such as WIC, pregnancy Medicaid, CHIP, etc.
