Leader of the Free World
IF I WERE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD,
THE FIRST ISSUE I WOULD ADDRESS WOULD BE

If I were leader of the free world, the first issue I would address would have to be abortion. I am not fond of the idea that abortion is a common practice in the USA. Abortion, in my Catholic opinion, is morally wrong and the same thing as murder. I don’t understand how men, women, children, animals, and even plants have rights, but babies don’t.
For those of you who do not know what abortion is, abortion is the deliberate termination of your unborn child. There are many clinics across the world where this act is practiced every day. I am very proud that my city has closed down one clinic already and that there is only one left. I believe that these clinics should be declared illegal.
Abortion has been legal since the Rowe v. Wade case in 1973. The case was about a woman who was pregnant, but did not want to give birth to her child. At that time, only a few states declared that abortion was legal. It was illegal in every other state. She lived in a state that declared abortion illegal. So she hired a lawyer to try to make abortions legal in every state. She won her court case and now abortions are legal in every state in the USA.
I know some people believe in Pro-Choice. Pro-choice is someone who believes that someone should have the choice between abortion and life. I believe everyone should be pro-life. Pro-life is someone who believes that someone should always choose life and never choose abortion. I am 100% pro-life. I usually do not mind others opinions, but I just don’t agree with pro-choice. I want to make abortions illegal worldwide.
If I accomplish this issue as the leader of the free world, I would then address the issue of education in America. I would institute a law that requires every person to graduate high school and either got to a four year college or a trade school. I believe that this would help to increase the literacy rate in America. The more people that

    Despite extreme weather conditions the night before, on January 20th, 1961, John F. Kennedy gave his inaugural speech in Georgetown, Washington D.C. after a very close presidential race. JFK addressed a celebration of freedom, how the world was had changed, the survival and success of liberty, countries need to join together and work through differences; the obligation to help those less fortunate, even if not American citizens; and doing away with the suppression of slavery. John F. Kennedy addressed his presidential election as a day to celebrate freedom because it stood for a beginning of change. He said that the world was very different, that the current generation were heirs of the first revolution (2). And to let the word go out to all manner…

    The Pro-Life side is more commonly defined as the argument against abortion. It has many different view points. One of the most common is religious. Many people have expressed their opinions in support of this side. One particular would be "Why Abortion is Immoral" by Don Marquis. He shows in his argument how Pro-Life supports generalize a fetus as an innocent human being from conception, and how they expect it to have the same rights as you and I. To these supporters abortion is wrong in every sense and they try to offer alternatives such as adoption. They also have points that are made from a feminist stand point. Generally they say that Pro-Choice…

    These people firmly believe that an abortion is ending a life and is, therefore, murder and should be treated as such. These people are referred to be pro-life, and that means they oppose abortion. The other side, known as pro-choice are people who believe it should be the woman’s right to choose to either continue or to end the pregnancy and that there should not be laws banning abortion that interfere with the right of a woman to decide what is in her own best interest. Those in support of pro-choice may not believe that abortion is morally correct and might even view it as wrong but nonetheless, they believe it should be the woman’s…

    Pro-Choice

    • 1029 Words
    • 5 Pages

    What is Pro-Choice? Pro-Choice refers to the belief that a woman has the right to abort a baby from her body. Most people do not know how they stand on this subject. Usually a touchy subject, it is often kept a secret. I did extensive research on this subject after my older sister got an abortion. At first I was upset by the fact that she did it but now I realize that it was her choice and not mine. I feel that a woman has the right to do what she wants to her body. If a woman does not feel that she can raise a child then she should be able to do whatever she wants. If a woman gets an abortion in a case where she cannot raise the child then that is one less child put into foster care. During this speech I will inform you of the background on abortion, the different types of abortion, and also the main reasons to be pro-choice.…

    Abortion laws began to appear in the 1820s, forbidding abortion after the fourth month of pregnancy. Most abortions had been outlawed by 1900, and even though it had been outlawed illegal abortions were still frequent. Many women had died from illegal abortions in 1960. By 1965 all 50 states banned abortion. Roe V. Wade is the historic supreme court decision that legalized abortion in January 22, 1973. The supreme court held that in earlier months of pregnancy a woman and her doctor could choose to have an abortion without legal restrictions, they chose to base their decision on the right to privacy and on the fourteenth amendment. Ever since the legalization of abortion, 57 million unborn babies have been killed. Compared to other medical procedures abortion is unsafe. For…

    pro life abortion paper

    There are many differences between a “pro- choice” position on abortion and a “pro- life” position. People who are “pro- choice”, then they believe that it is the woman’s decision if she wants to have a child and carry it for nine months. If someone is “pro- life”, then they are against anyone getting an abortion. They believe that the fetus has the same rights as a human being. The argument the “pro- life” people strongly believe is that every undeveloped human is sacred and must be protected by the government. The “pro- choice” people argue that when a humans personhood cannot be proven in pregnancies, then the government does not have the right to prevent a woman her right to decide whether or not she wants to continue with the pregnancy.…

    There are two different viewpoints on abortion. Pro-choice and pro-life. Let’s start with the easy one. Pro-life means that a person is completely against abortion. The pro-life viewpoint is the belief that abortion is considered taking the life a human, which would mean that life begins at conception. People may have this viewpoint for religious values, or even their personal moral values, and believe that abortion for anyone is wrong. Pro-choice is a little bit harder to describe. It doesn’t mean pro-abortion, it literally concerns the word choice. People that are pro-choice believe that it is a person’s personal decision as to whether or not they get an abortion. Somebody may be completely against abortion personally, but may still be pro-choice because they believe that it is a person’s decision and that right should not be…

    Pro-life is when individuals believe women should not have the right to abort a baby, pro-choice is the complete opposite. Pro-choice is the belief that a woman has the right to choose the best choice for her personal health, future, and moral sensibility. In my opinion abortion should be illegal. Life begins at conception, therefore I view the termination of a fetus as murder. Taking away one's life when they have no say is murder. How can you withdraw an innocent child's life? A failed abortion can result to a severely handicapped child. How can you attempt to damage a child for life causing your child to come out intellectually handicapped? How can you deliberately kill a miniscule baby because you decided to not use a form of birth control?…

    Dating all the way back to the 1800 's, abortions have been taking place all over the world. In the US abortion laws were created around 1820 stating that women would not have abortions after already being pregnant for four months. Then by 1900 most abortions were outlawed. It wasn 't until 1956 that all fifty states had banned abortion with certain exceptions varying by state. Abortions were performed in the case of rape or incest in order to save the life of the mother, or if the fetus was deformed. It was then that back alley abortions started becoming very popular. Women were finding any way possible to be rid of babies they didn 't want.…
