The Debate Between Pro Choice And Pro Life

Pro-choice has been a major topic ever since the women’s movements started in the early 1970’s, a question sometimes asked is that, if part of the population are so pro-life and worry about protecting a fetus, how come when the child is conceived they suddenly bash at you for having that unwanted child anyways, and that is hypocritical. In this essay, details include would be why people choose to be pro-choice, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the battle for reproductive justice for women and their right to make decisions for their body, advocates that are pro-choice, proposals for a pro-choice government, and Tomi Lahren being fired for stating she was pro-choice.

Abortion is a major social issue where many people obtain different perspectives and opinions other than being one sided. People who are for or against abortion both possess logical explanations as to why they choose which side of the issue they stand on along with their own exceptions. The two different articles share the same issues about abortion. One article is called “’Prolife Progression’ is Not an Oxymoron.” Written by Gerald Schlabach and published by the Commonweal magazine. The second article is, “According to Pro-Aborts, Even Pictures of Babies in the Womb are ‘Graphic Images,’” written by Jonathon Van Maren and published by National Rights to Life News magazine. Both articles provide great insight and evidence; however, Gerald Schlabach’s article gives a more clear and concise persuasive aspect of the issue, better word choice, organization, and more in-depth support.

Numerous states are also passing an Ultrasound bill, adding a paragraph to the already existing Woman’s Right to Know legislature requiring the physician to offer the woman the chance to see her ultrasound before the abortion. Oddly, though this bill frequently receives bipartisan support, some who claim to be ‘pro-choice’ object to the ultrasound bill, maintaining that it “interferes with the doctor-patient relationship, legislating the private conversations that occur about a legal medical procedure.”13 However, many women have rejected this excuse, returning that they asked to see their abortion and were denied. These women often say that they would have kept their unborn child had they seen the ultrasound as requested.14 The Women’s Right to Know bill and its additional Ultrasound bill protect the rights of the women, frequently initiating a change of heart without directly prohibiting the

The pro-choice vs. Pro-life dilemma Introduction Performing an abortion presents a major ethical dilemma for many nursing professionals. Abortion is a deliberate termination of a pregnancy done preferably in the first 28 weeks. Some of the reasons of abortion include unwanted and unplanned pregnancies. Many people and religions widely disapprove abortion but it is widely practiced for various reasons. Nurses find themselves in an ethical dilemma because they have the moral obligation to protect and promote life (Finkelman and Kenner, 2016).

Imagine a world where you are forced to give birth to a child you cannot support financially or emotionally, a child that was produced from rape or incest, a child that would suffer from prenatal diseases, or a child that threatened the life of the mother. That is the world that a pro life advocate sees for our nation’s future. We are all entitled to our own opinions, but the moment we start to impose our beliefs onto others is where the line is crossed. The main difference between the pro life and pro choice stance is that the pro life movement infringes on women’s right to bodily autonomy. Along with the pro life sentiment is a sense of ignorance and blatant misogyny. For example, Republican Rep. Todd Akins stated, on the issue of pregnancy as a result of rape, “It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.” Akins clearly represents the misinformation of men in particular about female anatomy. Case in point would be during the debate over an anti-abortion bill when Rep. Lisa Brown was indefinitely silenced from speaking on the House floor after uttering the medically correct term “vagina”. Republicans in the room were shocked and offended by their fellow humans anatomical structure, demonstrating the fact that if one cannot discuss a woman’s reproductive system, one should not be able to regulate or dictate it. As another tactic to shame women for

Governor Mike Pence of Indiana recently signed the House Bill 1337, making Indiana the second state to ban abortion because of the fetus disability, ethnicity, or gender. The bill has escalated an uproar political debate between pro-life and pro-choice advocates.

Out of the United State’s hefty population of about 320 million people, only about 68 percent of its citizens meet the voting age requirement. On the other hand, recent voting statistics indicate that only 146 million people are registered to vote, and even fewer of them make it to the polls. As a registered voter, it’s imperative to educate yourself through comprehensive research about the candidates, their views, and how they intend to run the country. Additionally, many sources confirmed my preconceived candidate choices by asserting Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders as the top contenders due to our similar ideals. However, further research shows that for some issues, such as raising the minimum wage, Clinton’s plan of action proved too disadvantageous for my liking. For this reason, coupled with many others,

Each day throughout our world, medical professionals suction thousands of babies from their mothers’ wombs through a procedure called abortion. The law protects and provides consent to both the mother and the medical professionals for these procedures. However, the babies seemingly have no right to protection or life themselves because of the argument regarding when a fetus is determined be human and have life. Pro-life author, Sarah Terzo, in a LifeSiteNews.com article, relays the following testimony supporting this from a medical student upon witnessing his first abortion, “Rejected by their mothers and regarded as medical waste by their killers, society allows these babies to die silently, with no recognition or acknowledgment of their

One of the most controversial and emotionally charged topics in the United States still being debated on is abortion. Despite Roe v Wade passing the law for a woman’s right to attain an abortion, there is still much debate surrounding the topic. Questions like, “When does Life begin?”, “Is the mother’s life considered as well?”, and most importantly, “Are you pro-choice or pro-life?” come up consistently before and in the debate. However, it should come to attention that regardless of these two stances, a great number of Americans fall underneath a grey in-between of either holding both pro-choice and pro-life reasoning, or neither. This is

With recent developments in Northern Irish legislation for ‘on demand abortions’, the debate between pro-life and pro-choice has been thrown back into the media and the morality of abortion scrutinized under the eye of third wave feminism, which has reclaimed the 1970’s slogan of ‘The Right to Choose’. The following essay intends to discuss how abortion is always an option and never a morally wrong act, as it is the mother’s choice to do with her body what she wishes and such the fetus has no right to leech off the mother when the host is not willing. In this discussion one shall, as Thomson did in ‘A Defence of Abortion’(1971), accept the stance that a fetus is a person from conception, to avoid that issue all together.

Abortion has been one of the biggest controversies of all time. Many people believe that women should get to decide what she would do with her body. The definition of abortion is; “The termination of pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus or embryo prior to being capable of normal growth”. Abortion is one of the most controversial topics today. Although there are two sides of the debate pro-choice and pro life, arguments are mainly centered around the Roe v. Wade decision, women’s rights and state restrictive laws.

Of all the legal, ethical, and moral issues we Americans continuously fight for or against, abortion may very well be the issue that Americans are most passionate about. The abortion issue is in the forefront of political races. Most recently the “no taxpayer funding for abortion act”, has abortion advocates reeling. Even though abortion has been legal in every state in the United States since the monumental Supreme Court decision, “Roe v Wade”, on January 22, 1973; there are fewer physicians willing to perform abortions today than in 2008. (Kraft) At the heart of the ethical dilemma for many in the medical profession is the viability of the fetus. And just to make this whole dilemma more confusing, according to the United States

One of the most debated issues in America is abortion: Pro-life or pro-choice. This is a decision that each person has to make for him or herself. Many people say that abortion is the woman's choice. I firmly believe, however, that if the woman is willing to have sex, she should be willing to suffer the consequences. Being a female myself, I am now with the consequences of choosing to be sexually active. But after hearing that innocent heartbeat, I know it will be worth it. Not everyone feels this way. Over one million babies will be aborted this year because of the careless actions of the sexually active. When Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, it was because a woman was raped and became pregnant due to those unfortunate circumstances,

Abortion refers to the medical or surgical termination of a pregnancy. It is argued that a woman has a right over her pregnancy and hence the woman could decide on whether to abort on not. As a result, the woman should not be compelled to give birth when the woman is not able to or does not intend to carry the pregnancy to its full term. For instance, in the United States, women have the right to decide on their destiny regarding pregnancy. It is projected that approximately 14 million chemical abortions take place in the United States every year. However, the issue of performing 4D ultrasound scans on all elective abortion patients has created a great controversy in the United States in the recent years. The 4D ultrasound is utilized in taking the fetus’ images from various angles and thus giving various features of the fetus as well as capturing the movement of the fetus. With this regard, the critics of 4D ultrasounds argue that the procedure is unethical and it could not change a woman’s decision to terminate the pregnancy. On the contrary, the proponents of 4D ultrasounds contend that this procedure is necessary part of informed consent regarding elective abortions. This research paper seeks to critically examine the issue of whether states should require doctors, as a matter of informed consent, to provide 4D ultrasounds for all patients considering elective abortions, before such abortions can be conducted.

A long on-going subject that has been greatly debated in our society is abortion. Many people argue that because the baby in the mother’s womb is not alive, aborting him or her is not considered a murder. However, others say that as the baby’s heart and brain are the first things to develop, the baby is technically alive and killing it would be a murder. As soon as the baby has a heartbeat, it has life. Abortion has many characteristics of a murder, including the killing of one human being by another, it’s unethical, and it is done without the consent of the person.
