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.
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
MLA Persuasive Paper Should teenage girls be allowed to get birth control without parents consent? In my opinion, I think teenage girls should be able to get birth control without their parents knowing simply because some parents wouldn’t allow it. Another reason a young girl should be allowed to access birth control without their parents’ permission is because if parents are involved, some teens will not seek the treatment needed. Also if a teen was to ask a parent to help them get birth control, some parents might automatically jump to conclusions and assume their child is having sex. Teenage girls should be able to get birth control without their parents knowing because some parents wouldn’t allow it.
Should Abortion Be Legal Since abortion is legal in the United States. Should a woman have the right to abort her fetus? Even though it is her body is it mainly up to her. Life has choices that should be made with the intention of one’s better future according to (Hemingway). Abortion should not be legal because it is immoral.
English 101 11/26/12 Pro-Choice The pro-choice versus pro-life debate is something that has been feverously debated for years. This issue deals with whether or not a woman has the right to terminate her pregnancy. Being pro-choice does not mean you support “killing babies”, it means you support the fact that a woman can choose to do what she wants with her body. The right to choice is important, and that should not be taken away from anyone. To be blunt, if a woman is not capable or does not want to carry and raise a child, then she should not be forced to by any governmental doctrines.
The lack in education and experice results in lower levels of trust in medical care. They are skeptical about receiving care from physicians, nurses and the entire medical care regimen as a whole. Women who are skeptical about the care will reject prenatal testing. For example referring back to the story about tracy, she rejected getting an ultrasound because she believed that the radioactive rays would affect her fetus. If she was educated about the importance of prenatal testing Nahla might have been normal today.
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.
According to Warren, a fetus is human but not a person. She talks about the word “human being” and how people today confuse the genetic and moral sense of the word. According to Warren, just because one is human, it doesn’t automatically make one a person. She states that a fetus is not part of the "moral community," meaning people, which would give them an equal moral right. According to Warren, “the moral community," decide if a fetus can become part of the moral community.
Abortion (Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life) The right for a woman to choose whether or not to abort a pregnancy is one of the controversial issues in the United States. Pro-life are the people who believe that it is the government’s rights and responsibility to care for all life regardless of all the concerns in the health of the pregnant woman or what kind of life would the child have. Pro-choice are those people who argue and believe that a woman should have the right to decide and make a choice on what she wishes to do when it comes to their own body, as long as it does not harm others with their decision. My standpoint about abortion is that I definitely feel that it is a woman’s right to decide if she is going to do abortion and as long as she has a valid reason to abort a child. The reason why it is important for a woman to make a choice is because a lack of choice could and may lead to medical and health problems for the mother and the child, and a poor environment for the child to grow with.
Pregnant women, who prefer abortion, on her opinion, make a choice of the same kind. Williams, however, claims that life starts at conception, and such terms as "the first trimester" or "second trimester" cannot help to define life. On the other hand, she claims that abortion should be applied, if it is necessary as abortion sometimes can save lives. Although the author admits that such a life might be worth any sacrifice, the right to decide whether such sacrifice should be done belongs exclusively to the mother. The presented article demonstrates rather effective use of ethos, logos and pathos.
