Four Views on Abortion
Abortion
Abortion is not something new in the world, or the United States of America. In fact, it has been around for thousands of years. People have their different views on the subject and very strong opinions. I shall tell you a Liberals view, the socialists view, the conservatives view, and the libertarians view.
Liberals are pretty in favor of abortions. They see nothing wrong with it. They are all for the “right to your own body” concept. They are pro-choice. A woman has a right to her own body, and she may do with it as she wills. After all, the baby isn’t a human being, until it has reached a sertint stage in its development. Why are they in favor of abortion? They prefer to focus on accueal human beings, rather than clumps of cells if you will.

The next view is a socialist’s view. In July of 2012 a video was posted on You Tube showing a large crowd of socialists chanting for free abortion on demand. An article read…
““…Free abortion on demand! Can we do it? Yes, we can," chanted attendees at the "Socialism 2012" conference held in Chicago by the International Socialist Organization.
The call for free abortion was preceded by calls of "antiradar" and freedom for Palestine.
According to EAG News' Kyle Olson, 1,500 socialists attended the conference.
"Like previous years, attendees consumed Marxist propaganda on government education, government health care and how to best end capitalism," Olson wrote. The meeting's motto was "Educate, Agitate, and Occupy."
. Video: Socialists scream for free abortion on demand. According to promotional material provided by the ISO, “abortion rights are more and more restricted” and “sex and sexuality is presented in a restricted, two-dimensional way.”
A 2004 article at the Socialist Worker says

    For decades the issue of abortion has drawn the attention of politicians and civilians alike, and regardless of any political or religious affiliation, every one has a static opinion, and neither side is backing down. The issue is the morality of safe and legal abortions for women. Coming to rise in the late 1970’s, abortion laws led to the creation of two strong groups; the pro-life party, fighting for the lives of future children, and the pro-choice party, fighting for the right for women to get abortions if they decide to. Pro-choice supporters have often been identified as feminists, working on behalf of women’s civil liberties; however, the pro-life feminist party, while still being…

    For many years, abortion has been perhaps the most controversial issue in America. The controversy is between protecting an unborn child’s life and taking away a woman’s constitutional freedom to choose. Those who are Pro-Choice believe that a woman should be allowed to control their own body and no one has the right to compel their morals on them. Pro-Life advocates like Jennifer Simmons, believe that a constitutional amendment should be pass giving equal protection to all including unborn children. To voice her opinion and spread her beliefs, Simmons wrote a paper to reach out and convince those undecided minds that Pro-Life is morally the only choice.…

    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…

    Cagan 1 Erica Cagan ENC1103.036/Prof. Bieze December 2, 2011 Word Count: 1147 Her Choice If a woman doesn’t have control over her own body, than does she have any control at all? Abortion has fostered one of the most controversial, contentious and ethical debates in the United States. People divide themselves into two groups: pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life argues that abortion is murder, and the mother has no right to take the life of a potential child. Prochoice “ refers to the political and ethical view that a woman should have complete right over her fertility and that she should have the freedom to decide whether she wants to continue or terminate her pregnancy” (Bose). In 1973, the Supreme Court made it possible for woman to obtain a legal abortion from well-trained medical surgeons which was a giant step forward for women’s rights (Pomeroy). Undertaking an abortion is a woman’s choice and any proposal to take away this autonomy not only violates a woman’s civil rights but would also cause many more problems in regards to a woman’s health. A woman’s autonomy is the one thing no one should be able to take away from her. Abortion is an extremely private matter that the government has no right to interfere in. If the civil rights of a person entitles him or her to not have unwanted infringements by the government and the government tells a woman that she cannot have an abortion, then is this not a violation of civil rights? Without abortion, woman would be condemned into pregnancy which “forces them into submissive roles in society” (Pomeroy). Pregnancy denounces women to “second class citizenship, since in our society, mothers are second class citizens. Once a woman becomes a…

    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.…

    The idea has of abortion has been around since people figured out how babies have come to be, and there always has been two sides the recently coined terms Pro-Life and Pro-Choice. The Pro-Lifers believe that the unborn fetuses have as much rights as a born child and that to terminate the pregnancy would be the same as murdering a person outside the womb. The Pro-Choicers believe it is up to the individual person to make the decision whether to continue the pregnancy or terminate. They may not personally believe in abortion, but they feel it is not their place to decide what a woman should do with her body.…

    In addition to Mumford, Mary Ziegler in her article, “Women’s Rights on the Right: The History and Stakes of Modern Pro-Life Feminism”, while coming from a pro-choice point of view, also talks about sex-selection terminations. PRENDA is the reason why sex-selection abortions are not allowed anymore; “PRENDA (Prenatal Non-Discriminative Act) had some bipartism support, twenty Democrats joined 226 Republicans voting for the bill. Its proponents emphasize that sex-selection abortion reinforces sex discrimination and has no place in a civilized society.” (Zeigler 234). Although there are still many pro-choice advocates, according to recent studies in Marco Rossarie Rossi’s article “Nonreligious and Pro-Life”, the number of pro-life advocates is the highest it’s ever been at; “a recent Gallup poll showed that the number of people in the United States who identify as pro-choice has dropped to its lowest point (41 percent) in record history, while those who identify with pro-life have continued with their decade-long rise. In 1955, 33 percent of Americans considered themselves pro-life. Today that number has climbed to 50 percent—with a 9 percent jump in the last 5 years” (2). More than half of America is pro-life, yet abortions are still…
