Persuasive Essay Against Abortion

Abortion is an incredibly heavily debated topic because the issues being debated have no definitive answer, as most of the debates on the topic consist of philosophical or moral arguments. There is vast debate over whether or not an unborn child is a life/when the unborn child becomes a life, and then whether or not this unborn child is a person under the constitution. Along a similar subject, there is also debate of which rights take priority. What makes Abortion such a disputed topic is that all of these issues tie into each other, and even people with same same mindset can’t always agree on every single aspect of their side’s argument, causing intrasectional dispute as well. Despite all of this heavy dispute, it should be said with confidence that Abortion should be legal in all cases, at least up to 20 weeks. …show more content…

The Charlotte Lozier institute states that “A Human Being is composed of human cells, proteins, RNA and DNA, classifying it as human”. Using these parts is used universally to categorize organisms, and humans are no exceptions”. It’s believed that this system should be used for humans as well. In addition to this, a fetus is physically able to to survive outside of the womb just over halfway through the pregnancy. This is called Fetal viability. The modern approximation for when a fetus becomes viable is placed at a rough 21 weeks, as these fetus’ have a higher survivability rate outside the womb. If they were killed at this time outside of the womb, it would be considered murder, so why allow it if it’s not

The Supreme Court ruled with a 7-2 vote, that "The Court ruled that the states were forbidden from outlawing or regulating any aspect of abortion performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, could only enact abortion regulations reasonably related to maternal health in the second and third trimesters, and could enact abortion laws protecting the life of the fetus only in the third trimester," as stated by pbs.org (The Supreme, N.D.).

But pro-life advocates argue that when a woman is pregnant, there is another body involved. They argue that the unborn body has the same rights as any other person and has the right to live. Pro-life advocates believe the presence of human life alone defines personhood. An unborn baby is a person just like everyone else that walks on the earth. They may be inside a womb and depended on their mother but they are still people.

Whereas it is problematic whether a foetus actually is a human being - it depends on what we mean by the term - it cannot be denied that the foetus is a potential human being. This is true whether by 'human being' we mean 'member of the species Homo sapiens' or a rational and self-conscious being, a person. The second premise contributes a great deal to strengthening the argument, however, the first premise is still open to being challenged for the immorality of killing an actual or potential human being. Whilst the foetus may actually lack rationality, consciousness, the capacity to feel or to suffer (characteristics that are considered to entitle an entity to be considered a person) in the same degree as a properly human person, it nevertheless will, ordinarily, come to have such

A fetus is not a human being since it needs the uterus to live. It should not be called murder to have an abortion since the fetus is not self-sustaining and needs the mother’s body and physical resources to survive. Furthermore, “surgical abortion is one of the safest types of medical procedures. Complications from having a first-trimester aspiration abortion are considerably less frequent and less serious than those associated with giving birth” (National Abortion Federation).

The argument against the legalization of abortion considers the fetus to be a person. During the sixth week of pregnancy the fetus develops a regular heart rhythm and the first brain activity can be detected. So before the sixth week of pregnancy the fetus had neither a regular heartbeat nor observable brain activity. Before the sixth week of pregnancy the fetus did not have two of the main primordial traits that are used to prove that a person is in a living state, so before the sixth week of development I don’t think it would be considered tenable for a fetus to be considered a living person.

At what point is a fetus considered a baby? Webster defines life as being able to maintain oneself. Infants born at the age of 22 week, and up to 26 weeks are considered extremely high risk (Marshall). Only about two out of ten babies during that period in time survive (Marshall).

Abortion has always been a controversial topic, and with debates from the recent presidential election bringing abortion back into the spotlight, it is clear that people have varying views as well as a great misunderstanding of abortion. Often, the morality of such action is widely discussed, and stones are quickly thrown. I believe that abortion should be legally and safely obtainable in all cases for women who feel it is the best path to take in their pregnancy.     While abortion is currently legal in all 50 states, some lawmakers are working to make abortions virtually unobtainable. For example, in Ohio, a heartbeat bill sat on the desk of Governor Kasich.

Before 24 weeks, its brain only emits electrical signals, not brain waves which indicate thought.” This means that it is not fully alive yet, because it cannot support itself outside of the womb, so it isn’t technically a human.

The fetus hasn’t begun living outside of the womb, and while it may have potential for some sort of success, that can be true about many things. Ethically, it is acceptable for an abortion to occur. It is a medical procedure, an autonomy, and it is ultimately the decision of the mother. At the stage of acceptable abortion, the service is ethical, and it is removing simply a cluster of developing cells. The actual service of an abortion is completely acceptable, and the choice should be made by the mother and not the

The termination of pregnancy by removing a fetus or embryo from the womb before it can survive on its own is called abortion.
