According to Rebecca Ayrey in “Abortion Distortion,” at nineteen weeks of her first sonogram her baby was diagnosed with Dandy-Walker Syndrome. Also, two parts of her brain were missing completely, other areas were malformed, and there was a heart defect, as well as acute limb irregularities. The baby would have only lived a short period of time. Parents gathered information for the abortion. The abortion took place when the mother was at an advanced state of pregnancy. Mother was worried that prohibiting late-term abortions could have the effect of forcing some women to make choices that aren't right for them. According to Rebecca, Women shouldn’t be judged; they should have

    After reading “A defense of Abortion” by Judith Jarvis Thomson and what he had to say with his violinist analogy involving the kidney replacement. I agree with what he has to say on not only abortion itself but, whether or not a fetus should have the right to the women’s body. I don’t think that the fetus should be given the right to use the women’s body because what if she does not what to have a baby and ends up getting pregnant anyway. Also, each time a woman engages in sexual intercourse, she is not inviting the fetus to live inside her body. This is why birth control and other contraceptives are not a sure deal when dealing with sexual intercourse. What if the birth control method fails and the women end's up getting pregnant? She did…

In “When Abortion Suddenly Stopped Making Sense”, Frederica Mathewes-Green successfully persuades readers why she is against abortion by utilizing personal anecdotes when switching from pro choice to pro life, alarming statistics and exposing a baby’s humanity using sympathetic language.…

    As the title makes plain, Thomson asserts that abortion is not impermissible. More exactly, she argues for the conclusion that at times, abortion is permissible; she asserts that there are scenarios in which getting an abortion would be immoral. What is especially innovative is the way in which her argument is constructed by Thomson. She starts the essay by pointing out the argument over abortion seems to numerous individuals to hinge on whether the fetus is a man. Most feel that if we could simply discover the response to that puzzle, the consequences for abortion would be clear; namely, that if fetuses are not individuals then, and that if fetuses are persons afterward abortions should be impermissible abortions must be allowable (Thomson, 1984).…

    First of all, before 1973, the criminalization of abortion did not prevent termination of unwanted pregnancies. As Studlar and Tatalovich reveals, “In the United States by the early - twentieth century, abortion had been proscribed in the criminal codes of all fifty states; abortions to save the mother 's life were virtually the only exception to this until in the 1960s reformers crusaded for legal abortions for other "therapeutic" reasons.” The only legal option available during that time was the choice of adoption. criminalization promoted illegal abortion that endangered women. At that time, professional medical termination was not available, so many women resorted to illegal abortion which brought social condemnation. Many women were forced to find abortionist who worked outside the law. Those kinds of abortionist were called “back street butchers” because they had little or no proper medical training which…

    As American’s and women we have the right to freedom and independence, with that concept, I believe that our government needs to trust that women have the capability to choose what is best for their future.

    It is hard to find a single definition for the word “abortion.” Dictionary.com states that an abortion is also called voluntary abortion and it is the removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy. However, google states that an abortion is defined as the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy. On the contrary, Merriam Webster defines an abortion as a medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus. Just reading these definitions begin the argument of whether or not abortion should be legal and if it is “morally” right. Abortion has become a popular topic of discussion across politics and within churches. Although both sides have valid arguments, it is up to the woman carrying the child to decide whether she will keep the child or not. No government, nor religion should force someone into making a decision they weren’t fully supportive of.…

    How would it be like if you weren’t allowed to choose what happens to your future? Some women do not get the luxury of choosing for themselves due to some laws set and they do not get the option whatsoever. That should be different as women are the ones who carry the babies, not the ones who are voting against it. Even though the baby never had the chance to live life, women should have the right to choose what they want to do with their baby because it may be bad for the women herself to have to care of a baby, they may not be prepared for a baby, and we do not know their circumstances of the situation.…

    Abortion has been a heavily debated political, ethical, and moral dispute continuing for more than a decade after it was legalized in the United States in January 22, 1973. This decade long debate between “pro-life” activists and “pro-choice” activists usually stem from ones ethical and moral values of whether it is right to surgically or medicinally terminate a fetus and the extremes, like death of the mother, which could occur from the pregnancy. In this debate, I would view myself as a “pro-choice” activist because I firmly believe that abortion should continue to be legal to decrease the number of unintended mothers, broken or single parent families, and family poverty.…
