Arguments Against Abortion Pro Life

When it comes to living ~~, many people think that “good” includes things that bring enjoyment and “bad” means things that are burdening. We should seek out the good in life and avoid or remove the bad. In cases of abortion, though, where a life is unwanted and burdensome, is it justified to get rid of it? Pro-life arguments that oppose abortion say that ~~. Pro-choice arguments which support abortion argue that a child’s life begins at birth, a woman has the right over her body, and promotes autonomy. After all, a life is ~~ than ~. For my claim, I will not refer to any religious arguments concerning abortion, as doing so would just introduce a wide range of other arguments to debate. Furthermore, I believe it is possible to sufficiently prove abortion is wrong without regarding religion. I will cover the most common arguments for pro-choice and try to refute these arguments along with a moral theory of my own. My primary claim will be that abortion ~~ primary gain is wrong because it is the same as murder.

Societies frequently regard the term “good” as whatever is pleasurable or moral and “bad” as whatever causes unpleasant outcomes. Therefore it makes sense that we should seek out the good in life and avoid the bad. In cases of abortion, though, where a potential life is considered “bad”, is it justified to remove it? Life is viewed as the highest intrinsic good, thus any act of deliberately taking it away becomes a serious moral issue. Pro-life arguments, or arguments opposing abortion, claim that each human has a right to life, a person is a human at the moment of conception, and each human possesses the obligation to protect human lives. Pro-choice arguments, or arguments supporting abortion, argue that a child’s life begins at birth, a woman has the leading right over her body, and abortion promotes autonomy. I will attempt to refute the leading pro-choice arguments while holding my claim that abortion to end a life is always immoral because it is an act of murder.

After reading the article, “Why It’s Become So Hard to Get an Abortion”, by Margaret Talbot, I am caught in the middle of pro-choice and pro-life. Talbot provides the reader with an even amount of examples explaining the beliefs of each stance. Being raised as a Catholic, my church has always preached to bring an end to abortion. Although, being a young female, I also feel we should have the choice. I think there is a way to respect personal beliefs and religion, while still being in charge of your body. This being said, I don’t agree with the act of taking the life of an innocent human without it being a medical necessity. This brings up another contrasting point, I believe that if the woman seeking the abortion doesn’t have the means to raise

Defending abortion is always controversial. But, in some circumstances it can be justified. In the case of Clare Macwurter, her mental state questions if abortion is permissible. Judith Thomson’s article “A Defense of Abortion” argues analogies defending her reasoning for justifiable abortion.

Our nation cracks down on capital punishment. We have moved on to the innocent and the unborn. Our culture is strictly based on convenience. So why shouldn't pregnancies be the same? The federal government should restrict abortions because abortions strip an American child of its rights to life, puts women’s lives in jeopardy, and allows Americans to have a way to walk out on the consequences of their actions. Abortion is never a personal choice but a significant offense against God and his creation. Life starts at the moment of conception even if it is just a cell. Another reason is that abortion is unsafe and could cause complications later on.

Does a women’s right to choose to have an abortion outweigh a baby’s right to be born? The controversy at hand is whether the rights of a women outweigh the rights of a baby, and whether a mother should be given the rights to pursue a procedure like an abortion. To clarify an abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy in which a doctor uses a vacuum and suction to suck out a fetus from the uterus. The issue is whether the fetus who has the potential to be a rational, productive human being has the unequivocal rights of any other human being and whether he or she should be protected from, in every sense of the word, murder. The argument made by abortionfacts.com a nonprofit Christian pro-life education organization, is that

"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born," vocalized by former President Ronald Reagan. When the word abortion is articulated, an automatic opinion forms in a person's mind; he or she is either for this controversial issue or against it. However, there are those who believe that abortion should be used in only special circumstances.

According to the Constitution, each person is undeniably granted from birth their life, liberty, and property. People have control over their own bodies, and according to the philosophy of liberty, no one can tell them otherwise. The court case, Roe vs. Wade, officially made it possible for women to have abortions, if they chose to do so. Historically, after this proclamation, the death rate of women dying from illegal abortions drastically dipped in thousands. However, because of the constitution's fundamental flexibility and broad interpretation, many clinics in conservative states are closing down, due to restrictions indirectly enforced by anti-abortion groups. In parts of Texas, women have to spend more money on more procedures including

Many people in the United States think that abortion is wrong and it is killing a live baby. I think differently though. I think that abortion is okay, is perfectly legal and isn’t hurting anything. People say it’s hurting our population and it’s against the “baby’s” individual rights. Here I will state why this isn’t doing any harm to our community and it’s not wrong. Another thing that people are arguing about is if abortion should be a state right to determine whether it is right or not.

Abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy. The topic of abortion is such a sensitive subject since the public opinion will vary among society. Naturally people will either decide either to be Pro-life, Pro-choice, or undecided. People that support Pro-life would consider abortion to be murder. People that are Pro-choice would support woman to make their own decisions in their pregnancy choices. There will always be people that will not be able to choose either Pro-life or Pro-choice, so they simply stay undecided on the abortion subject.

To really get into this argument we want to understand what abortion is. Abortion is outlined as “the termination of a gestation when, amid, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or foetus; particularly :the procedure of causing expulsion of a personality's fetus to terminate a pregnancy” (Merriam-Webster). However, if solely the controversy over the abortion issue was as straightforward because the definition provided higher than. very similar to each side of human life, a press release is neither right nor wrong, however merely left open for interpretation. there's no black and white in life, solely grey areas. Some problems tend to produce US additional grey areas than others. Abortion may be a prime example of that. World Health

While world is advancing in every field, there are many people who talk against the legal status of abortions. There are many people who support lawfulness of abortions and there are many people who oppose them. After decades of women’s struggle for the legal status for abortions till 1970’s, people who are opposing abortions are still bringing this debate into public with their version of arguments. There may be personal or religious or emotional reasons to oppose the abortions. The meaning of abortion itself is stopping the unwanted pregnancy. Women would only choose for abortion when she cannot have a child for the particular time or period. Yes I believe that abortions should be a legally available choice for pregnant women because it is the basic women’s right,

According to Modern Mom a, “tiny heart begins to beat between the fifth and seventh week of pregnancy, even though the baby is only a little larger than the tip of a ballpoint pen” (DS_9395). If a child has a heartbeat in between the fifth and sixth week of gestation, why is abortion legal at 12 weeks of gestation? The Bump states that at 12 weeks of gestation a, “baby’s got pretty much all his or her important organs...” (the BUMP). Therefore, the baby is alive!

Abortion has been the most debatable subject of controversy in the United States for a long time. Abortion was legalized in 1973 by the Supreme Court of United States. People who support abortion consider it as pre-choice. Woman has the rights to make decisions that involve her body. On the contrary, people who against abortion consider it as cruel as murder. They think abortion is unethical and immoral. Is that the truth? No, abortion is not just right or wrong, black or white. Woman who choose to have abortion is not immoral, and the person should not be accused morally.

An area in philosophy that draws large controversy is the argument of abortions. The classic argument against abortions states that it was morally impermissible to kill a human. At the same time, an unborn fetus would be characterized as a human. Therefore, killing an unborn fetus would be considered morally impermissible due to the idea that they fall in the same category as humans. However, the main objection in the morality behind allowing an abortion come from the central idea that an unborn fetus does not fall under the category of a human; an idea that Mary Anne Warren suggested.
