Abortion: What Is the Reaction of the Society/
In today’s society moral standards of society, are becoming more & more justified. Abortions are becoming a controversial issue in the American society. It should be supported because of woman rights, rape & incest and health in women that could be a life and death situation that they may not be able to carry their unborn babies to full term.

First, not to mention 1920 changed everything giving woman the right to vote and make their own choices and decisions. Woman now have rights to be able to get pregnant & not have to carry their babies to full term. Women also, are able to make choices about their bodies & reproductive lives without having a law placed on it. (Roe v. Wade 1).

Secondly, woman who has been raped should have a choice. The woman is going through enough stress and trauma. So, carrying a baby for nine months is going to put a lot of stress on the mother. It will break her down physically, mentally and emotional. She just went through terrible act of injustices. The woman would be reminded of the committed violence against her that she won’t be in a good state of mind to take care of the child properly. So, that case abortion will be the best option.

In addition, my girlfriend was a victim of rap and she has a daughter who doesn’t live with her, but her grandmother decided to take her in. My girlfriend isn’t able to take care of her daughter as she would like too. The father isn’t in the child’s life since she’s been born. Also, my girlfriend is having a hard time finding a way to tell her daughter who’s her father and why he isn’t in her life. This is a case abortion would be acceptable.

Third, some women aren’t always that successful carrying their baby to full term. The health of the woman can cause her to have to terminate her pregnancy. It is very rare when abortion is required to save the mother’s life. When two lives are threatened and only one can be saved, doctors must always save that

    After about nine months of seasickness and cravings, women have the power to bring life into this Earth. When women are not in the position to give birth during the late stage of their pregnancy, they usually have only two possible outcomes. In these cases, the decision should depend on what the family and the mother find best. The government should not intervene and choose for the mother as they most likely will not know the best option for the two. As the female population progresses and receives additional rights that will lead to equality, they are still restrained from making a choice for their own child that does not require assistance from authority on the sensitive convoluted topic. The fact that a late term abortion is required implies…

    1.21 million women get abortions in the US each year (BMC Women’s Health). Many factors contribute to this, including timing, health of mother and/or fetus, and the ability to provide a quality life. Abortion procedures will be performed differently, depending on the duration of the pregnancy. Further complications could also lead to a different type of procedure being performed. Abortion, in America, was not a legal practice until 1973, in the ‘Roe v. Wade’ case (Abortion Wars). The abortion process is very complex, with many details and sides, and women should have the right to it, and their life.…

    Only in extenuating circumstances like a rape victim or a fetus diagnosed with trisomy 13 should abortion even be an option. There are some many alternatives, and these alternatives are usually better for you, the baby, and even other people. A woman has a say as to what she does with her body and her life, but what about the life of the baby inside of her? Abortion is murder and it needs to be stopped. For anyone that still believes that abortion is not murder think about this. If abortion isn’t murder, then why is it that if a pregnant woman is murdered you get charged with a double…

    “Women often tried to induce abortion or causing a miscarriage by throwing themselves down stairs or inflicting violence on themselves (When abortion was illegal, 2005). Even though some people are convinced that aborting a fetus is an act of killing and abortion should be illegal, they forget that raising an “unwanted” child can later harm the child’s physical, emotional and psychological well- being as the mother is stressed and not content being a mom and sees her child as a…

    One of the major controversial issues confronting the society today is abortion. I choose abortion as the topic of discussion since it contradicts my values and beliefs. Abortion is the extraction of the human fetus from the mother's womb with an intention to end the life of that fetus prior to its natural birth. The controversy surrounding abortion is whether it should be legalized or not? In my opinion, abortion is morally and ethically wrong because it leads to violation of human rights. Life is precious and only it's Creator has the right to take it away. I chose this issue for discussion to bring to light many of the hidden facts and arguments, of which people are unaware and not very sensitive today. Three of the many aspects of abortion can be taken into consideration 1) Motives behind abortion 2) Pro life v/s pro choice. 2) The growth of the "Dead Baby Industry."…

    Argument Essay Abortion should be Legal for any Woman of any Age Abortion is the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy (abortion). Abortion is also a right that every woman hasas long as it is in the first trimester of pregnancy. In many cases abortion being legal saves lives but it is also guaranteed to end a life every time the operation is done. Women should be in control of their own lives and should have the choice of having a child or not due to the effects that it would have on both the mother’s life and the child’s life. One night when my mother was seventeen years old, she was walking home alone from a party where she had been drinking alcohol, and a man attacked her and forced her to let him have sex with her. She ended up being impregnated and was pregnant for five weeks with a child whose father was the most awful man alive and would never be seen again. During this amount of time she did some serious thinking about what to do with the baby and she ended up deciding that she could not bear to keep a child that she could never love, let alone a daily reminder of the worst night of her life. She could have put the child up for adoption but she was afraid that she would be far too psychologically damaged if she could not even begin to forget the rape for another nine months. My mother has always said that this was the most difficult decision of her entire life but she still feels that she made the correctchoice. At the time of the pregnancy she was in her senior year of high school, had no job and nomoney, was single, and lived at home with her parents. If she had decided to keep the baby she would have never even graduated from high school and would have hardly any education and would not have beenable to get a good job. She also had no one else to help her take care of the baby and if she had decided to have it she would have had to of moved out of her parent’s home and taken care of the baby alone with no money.…
