    One of the most important leaders in the women’s rights movements was Susan B. Anthony. As a child, her family was very active in reform movements, working for prohibition of alcohol and the anti-slavery movement. Growing older, she realized that she could help make a difference in how women were treated, and founded the National Women’s Suffrage Association in 1869. She then continued to grow her audience worldwide, creating the International Council of Women in 1888, then the International Women Suffrage Council in 1904. Susan B. Anthony eventually wrote the 19th Amendment, originally the…

    After the horrendous violations of human rights during the Second World War, the reformed United Nations instituted a human rights commission, with Eleanor Roosevelt as one of its members. What she contributed to our nation and the world in general may be overlooked as many of her accomplishments go unnoticed, hidden in the shadow of her husband, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Eleanor was appointed chairwoman of the committee that came to adopt the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.…

    In December 1945, President Truman appointed Eleanor as a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly. As a United States delegate, Eleanor was the first chairperson for the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.

    Abortion John T. Noonan

    • 1166 Words
    • 5 Pages

    John T. Noonan makes the argument that the jump in probability for a fetus' coming to term, at a specific point in the development of the fetus, has an important implication for the humanity (personhood) of the fetus. He bases this argument on the reasoning that "life itself is a matter of probabilities, and most moral reasoning is an estimate of probabilities." He goes on to state that his argument in which a fetus has an implication for the humanity of the fetus is strictly an "appeal to probabilities that actually exist." To demonstrate his point concerning probabilities he uses an analogy. The analogy he uses is of a man who shoots into the bushes because of movement in the bushes. If the chances of this movement in the bushes being a man were 200 million to one, then no one would think anything of him firing away into the bushes. However, if the chances are 4 out of 5 that the movement is a man, then you would not be justified in firing into the bushes. He uses this analogy to relate it to the development of a baby. When a male ejaculates he emits about 200 million spermatozoa. Of these 200 million, only one single spermatozoon has a chance to develop into a zygote. Noonan says that therefore, if one spermatozoon is destroyed than you're only destroying a being that had a one in 200 million chance of ever developing into a reasoning being. This would be similar to the case of shooting into the bushes when there is a one in 200 million chance that the movement is that of a man. On the other hand, if a fetus is destroyed, then you're terminating a being that had "an 80 percent chance of developing further into a baby outside the womb who, in time, would reason." This would be similar to shooting into the bushes when the movement has a 4 out of 5 chance of being that of a man. The probability of the baby becoming a full being of reason drastically changes from a single spermatozoon (1 in 200 million) to a fetus (4 out of 5). This probability change…
