This means that only because women choose abortion, that decision does not always make a woman a bad person, and for that reason, it depends on the circumstances of why women are choosing to abort. It could be because she suffered a violation, incest, health problems, or just because she is not ready to be a parent yet. Women are free to decide if they want or not want to become a parent, and we live in a world in which they are free to recognize that they was wrong and can regret having a baby when considering that some women are not prepared to be a parent before it is too late. However, like everything in this world, we do not have to take too much advantage of that, and for the reason that it could be crucial to the health of women who can suffer irreversible…

A choice is a choice; it is as simple as that. Abortion is a huge controversial issue in the United States that many people disagree on. In the essay, “Owning up to Abortion” Ehrenreich believes that women should not keep in the dark about their abortion, but instead own up to it. Although abortion may be frowned upon by some people, no one should be entitled to judge another women because of their choice. No woman should feel ashamed of having an abortion because it is her choice and no one should make her feel like her choice is invalid.…
Pretend for a moment you are a woman or young girl, and try to place yourself in their place in the following scenarios. Case #1: A 13-year-old girl crying confused and frightened watches her boyfriend walk out of her life after she tells him she is pregnant. She thought he loved her. Case #2: A woman finds out she is pregnant with her sixth child. Her husband is out of work and the five children they already have must go to bed hungry most nights. She asks herself, how can I feed another one? Case #3: A career minded young woman having just earned her nursing degree finds out she is pregnant. Her husband, a doctor, is already putting in loads of overtime at the hospital. When would they have time for a baby? Case #4: A woman is about to go home after shopping all day, and on the way to her car she is forced into an alley at gun point, and brutally raped. Case #5: A super model finds out she has gotten pregnant after an affair with her photographer. Of course she can 't have a baby, having a baby would end her modeling career. Case #6: A woman while pregnant contracts a disease which in nine out of ten cases causes birth defects, and therefore her doctor advises an…
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. Our society should respect women’s independence and grant them the freedom to decide what is right. This issue is important to me because history has shown that restricting abortions, not only undermines women, but can also be very dangerous.…
Women who are faced with the decision to terminate their pregnancy are in a difficult situation, and one they most likely do not take flippantly. Moreover, “The Last Abortion” simulates countless circumstances to why a woman and adolescents may consider having an abortion, many of the stories are heartbreaking. My perspective has always been, the government does not have the right to control anyones body and my religion tells me I should not judge. The government has become to involved in women’s reproductive rights. From many states, “restrictions on abortion rights through an array of tactics including restricting federal and state funding for abortion, requiring waiting periods (26 state's), parental notification or consent for teens seeking abortion (38 states), and mandating counseling for those seeking abortions (17 states) (McKee and Taverner,…
Ernesto Miranda, a 22-year-old individual from Mesa, Arizona was a young man coming from a harsh childhood and who had obtained criminal record too early in his life. Miranda was arrested on March 13, 1963 in Phoenix for the kidnapping and rape of 18-year-old Rebecca Ann Johnson. His arresting officers, Carol Cooley and Wilfred Young, interrogated Miranda for two hours without informing him of his self-incrimination rights, or even his right to an attorney. This unconstitutional act on behalf of the officers was not weighed in his first trial in District court. Miranda's case was later appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, and finally to the U.S. Supreme Court.…

Under what conditions should abortions be allowed? Another controversial to date is abortion. It has been the subject of debate for centuries between many human rights activists, religious groups, and even health care practitioners. There is a myriad of factors that contribute towards the decision if to go for or against abortion. For this reason I cannot make a choice whether I am pro life or pro choice. Most pro-life or anti-abortion people say that the government should make ineffective a woman’s decision to have an abortion in most cases and require her to continue her pregnancy and give birth to the baby. Those promoting pro-choice say that the government should not interfere with the woman’s decision, she should be able to have an abortion if she wants to. So the question I will be exploring in this paper is: Should abortion be the choice of a woman, or not allowed at all? That is a question that has led to many debates worldwide. It is of great interest to me due to the fact I am a women and every woman has the possibility of being exposed to a situation in which they have to decide whether or not to have an abortion.…

Perinatal issues mostly cause concerns when a mother acts in a way that could be seen as causing harm to her fetus and is then looked down upon by members of society; as commonly seen in abortion. The health care team may be influenced by their own beliefs and respond with judgment rather than support their patient. Differences of opinion are a major factor when discussing abortion, but nonetheless the rights of the mother and the fetus need to be further examined. Abortion has always been a legal, social, and political issue. In the United States abortion is legal because it affects a woman’s right to privacy.…
How would you feel if someone took away your ability to live? Imagine not having any say in whether or not you want to have a life. Well babies don't have a choice in their mother’s womb. If a woman decides to abort her baby, they can't do anything about their life being taken away from them. Their whole future is demolished. I believe abortion is wrong when committing it for a selfish reason.…
Abortion has become the number one controversial issue in America over the past 10 years. Abortion is a very deep and personal decision. There are two genres that discuss both the pros and the cons of this personal choice. The first is a website called Abortion. procon.org. It is nonpartisan, nonprofit, and presents facts, studies, and pro and con statements related to abortion. This is a very informational and relatable site that any women should consider in their decision making process. The second source is an e-book by Dr. John Jefferson Davis. This source is called Abortion and the Christian: What Every Believer Should Know. It generally discusses both sides of the…
