They are concerned that women are becoming pregnant and simply saying, “O well, I’ll just have another abortion.” That is not the case. Women have the right to have an abortion because they will take time to make the right decision. They will make their decision in conjunction with their doctor, their family, and their clergy. That is the position many women are in, and being in that position they are qualified to decide to have, or not have an abortion. We should try to make it less likely for a woman to find themselves making the choice of whether or not to have an abortion.
The author argues that a pregnant woman still preserves right to abortion, if that creates threat to her life and health. However, such practice cannot be qualified as murder because similar decisions are made about criminals, hopeless patients, as well as lives of thousands of people
As the couple waits between two destinations, Barcelona and Madrid, they are trapped "between two lines of rail in the sun"( ) as if they were in limbo. The station, placed between the two lines of rails, suggests the two directions the couple may go - toward Madrid and the abortion or away from Madrid and to a family scenario. The landscape describes the situation both barren and fruitful. The barren side of the train station describes Jig’s life is she submits to what her partner wants: an abortion. The other side of the train station is green, luscious and fruitful like her womb if she reaches full term and gives birth to her child.
| “There are states that require a parental consent for children under the age of 18 years.” There should be more substance to this point. The sentence stands alone and leaves the reader wondering. | What is your favorite part of this piece of writing? | “When a woman decides that abortion is the way to go it not an easy decision to come to there may be factors that they need to look at. When a women is pregnant and they are excited at the fact that they are pregnant all of that joy can be shattered after an ultrasound is performed and the women is informed that her child is going to have no functional daily life and is going to be hook up to a ventilator for the rest of his/her life.” This is a very strong personal opinion that I completely agree with.
This idea is known as postmodernism; because of this, assumptions and explanations are usually made in order for us to understand the world in our own particular way. Barbara and Immaculee both go through postmodernism because the decisions that were made throughout the troubling journey were impacted by personal experiences. Barbara chose abortions because she dealt with going hungry and an abusive boyfriend. She felt bringing a baby to that kind of environment was not fair so abortion seemed like the best option on the list. Immaculee had the choice of giving up and letting go, but she did not.
The author grieved the loss of that version of her future. Knowing that her child could carry the danger in her cells, she chose not to take the risk. Ms. Handler states: “my husband understood I knew that in deciding not to be a mother, I was making a choice that would define the rest of my life.” Miss Handler fear surpassed longing. She fears that her child would be ill and die before his time, or that her child would be well and she would worry her away from her. Jessica Handler allows fear to control her decision.
On the other hand some people argued that late-term abortion should not be banned because it is necessary to terminate a fetus when the life of the woman is in danger as a result of complicated pregnancy; or when pregnancy result from incest or rape and the woman may be late in finding out that she is pregnant. Late-term abortion is also favored when the fetus genetic defect,
Though some may disagree on this point, the fact is that legalized abortion is the only option that will protect the lives of American citizens. One only needs to look into American history to see the results of prohibiting abortions to women. The process of abortions has definitely come a long way. Even after abortion was legalized, women were still very afraid to go to the abortion facilities because they were afraid of being attached just for entering the building. It is better now that they have a place to go where abortions can be performed cleanly and with minimal risk.
Abortions should not be used as a form of birth control. A solution to these can consist of counseling of pregnant woman and help her into the adoption process. There are many woman in the world that have loving hearts and can not have children of their own. Overall, I believe that having an abortion should be a woman’s right and should be legal but with some restrictions. In conclusion, abortion has become a safe medical procedure to terminate a pregnancy.
Abortion is the deliberate ending of a pregnancy by removing the fetus from the mother and should only be carried out by trained medical personnel. Abortion has existed for thousands of years of course in more primitive forms. It was restricted or forbidden by most world's religions, but it was not considered as a criminal offense until the past 100 years. Because of the high maternal death rate associated with illegal abortions, legislative action in the 21st century has been aimed at permitting the termination of unwanted pregnancies for medical, social or private reasons. Some countries now with moderately restrictive laws permit abortions to protect a women's health, to end pregnancies resulting from rape or incest, to avoid genetic or other defects, or in response to social problems such as unmarried status or low income.
