The book for itself told me that it was going to be about abortion and indeed there were going to a lot of trouble. But overall the book was good and informed me a lot about the illegal abortions women’s were having back then. Honestly, the women’s who were getting the abortion were tired of having babies and we not capable of caring for another child. Kaplan’s thesis was that women had the right to know about abortion
Most people agree with keeping abortions leagalized during the first trimester because of the health of the mother or the health of the unborn child (Saad 1). There are many personal reasons women choose to have abortions as well, like in cases of rape. Hillary Clinton cites in her speech on the "politics and moralitly of abortion" that there are 15,000 abortions per year due to women that have been sexually assaulted (Sullivan 2). If a women is raped she should not have to go through the mental stress of having that
An abortion is like killing a person but you don't get in no trouble for greeting one. It has been proven by doctors that two weeks after semi nation that the zygote is a living thing. Many people believe that getting an abortion is the same thing as murdering a person with no consequences. Also some people that go through abortions find it hard to deal with the fact that they have killed a child that could have done greatness. Every person has the right to life even if you are not born yet.
In today’s world, abortion is a very controversial topic that has caused many disagreements within society. Abortion has been legal for almost forty years now but people still protest and oppose this law. Abortion was made legal to give women the right that they deserve. As citizens of the United States, women are given many rights and freedoms just like everyone else and one these should be the freedom to have an abortion. Many people believe it is cruel, merciless, and inhumane, but every woman should have the choice and right to have an abortion if she pleases.
If a woman has to travel to another country to have a legal abortion, she will do so, and she will have to pay more money. She will now not only have to pay for the abortion itself, but also the traveling cost. Not all people can afford these costs. So by keeping abortion legal and clinics open more women will have the chance to exercise their right and have their desired abortion. If a working woman or student suddenly has to leave the country to have an abortion, this means she will have to think of excuses and lies for an explanation.
Although the act was usually but not always the choice of the woman, abortion was illegal and to end pregnancy was considered to be murder. In the two decades before abortion was legal in America, it's been estimated that about one million women per year underwent illegal abortions. Because these illegal procedures were performed by the woman or someone else who was not medically trained to perform the procedure, women died. In my opinion trying to make abortion illegal is pointless because the women will resort to drastic measures and other means to end the unwanted birth. Here we are in this so-called world of freedom but when we exercise that freedom, we become ridiculed for making a choice.
Many people believe life begins at conception, others believe life doesn’t begin until the baby is born. When people believe in abortion they’re pro-choice, when they don’t believe in abortion its pro-life. There is no way to say either one is right or wrong as a fact because abortion is against the law. Or should it be? A babies heart begins beating just after 21 days after conception, many abortions happen much after that.
These are all reason that could be avoided, and save many lives in the early stages. One controversial reason a woman might have an abortion is if she has been raped. There are very few cases like this, and in the instance of pregnancy resulting from rape, Linda Lowen informs us “proper medical care can ensure that a woman will not get pregnant” (Abortion Arguments). Overall, the most common reason for having an abortion is that “over 95 percent… [are] women who simply do not want to have a baby” (Abortion is Murder). Women who get pregnant and are not ready to accept the responsibility should not let this result in the death of a human
At the time, abortion was illegal in every state except if the procedure was “necessary to save a woman’s life” (Greenhouse). Because she was well connected, Chessen was able to quietly schedule an abortion in a Phoenix Hospital. Nevertheless, she wanted to warn other women of what happened, “so on the promise of anonymity” she told her story to a newspaper editor. Greenhouse recalls that, “[She] read the story with fascination [because] abortion was not considered a fit topic for the mainstream media at the time.” Because of this, the story boomed in popularity and eventually her name became public, and as a result, the hospital cancelled her abortion. Chessen realized that she could no longer acquire an abortion in the United States, so she flew to Sweden.
